Re: Help with low Equihash Excavator hashrate?

Thanks. I got Zec miner 0.3.3b and it didn't give me a virus warning. It comes with a Help.txt file, but it doesn't tell me how to set it up, it just has commands like "--help, -h          Show short help."

When I try to double-click miner.exe, it opens up and very soon after it closes, I can't read anything.
Pop open a prompt, cd to directory of unzipped miner and exec the PE with the long or short help option above.
TLDR;
C:\Users\antibuddha> cd Downloads
C:\Users\antibuddha\Downloads> miner.exe -h

Any of you got 7+ Zotac 1070 AMP edis running on one mobo?

There are a few chipsets which are renowned for supporting 7 or more cards.
Z270 and Z97 are two which come to mind and have been publicly documented by a wide number of miners.
Thing is, most of these known rigs run with AMD 4XX cards and I have yet to come across a setup running just NVIDIA 10XX.
TeamGreen mentioned (https://forum.z.cash/t/ewbfs-nvidia-cuda-zcash-miner-1060-170-h-s-gtx-1070-250-h-s/12523?page=12) that due to the high amount of mem these cards require, only 6 are viable on 1 mobo, but in all seriousness this makes no sense when you consider there are rigs out there running 8GB 4XX cards on 8-16GB DDR4 with no issues, unless they are also limiting the mem of each card @ 44% as well.
If someone can prove the above, I'll reconsider and go with the 1060 6GB minis as maxing out RAM for 550 bucks isn't worth the cost, but I'd imagine even then there may be a slight chance I may have to limit them also, so really I may as well just go with a 6 slot supported mobo and be done with it if that's the case.

I think the really reasons why this altcoins is dumping down is bitcoins is gainings its price again in $1200 mark.As you may have observe when bitcoins price is at dumps altcoins like eth and dash are pumping its price and now thats bitcoins is gaining price again viceversa effect will happen.i think that is why and that is what i conclude in this happenings

the really real reason was that these altcoins were pumped and when an altcoin price is fake that means the bubble it is in will burst sooner or later. and as we see today, it is bursting hard.

bitcoin was just an excuse they used, there is no other reason for them rising. this FUD thing with BU was a perfect set up for them to pump their coins with the moto of "we are replacing bitcoin".

Meanwhile ripple is up by 100%, litecoin by 9%, bitshares by 30% and doge by 40%, what is life.

life is if you can join these when price is low and dump them hard when it is on top not waiting for them to go higher which will never happen.
Low price is one factor.
Buying a significant stake post dip to have real impact on the hard dump is the second, equally just as important.

remember not so long ago bitcointalk was filled with altcoins shills who wanted to replace bitcoin?  Cheesy
now where are they?

i tell you where, getting dumped hard and prices fall like a stone.
Dash: gone down -60%
ETH: gone down -40%

the dump is real now, everyone else who didn't beieve it is now getting crushed under the whales of these coins who pumped them and now are existing.

and all the while, bitcoin has been getting stronger and stronger. and now bitcoin is back on track as we have all expected it to.

stop listening to the lies told by altcoin pumpers and stick to bitcoin.
Not invested in neither of those alts, but I've gotta say just seeing Dash take a dip by over a half of its market price made my day  Wink

Recently, I heard report on national TV.
Police find some drug dealers and had interview with journalists.
They explained that it was very difficult to discover them because they bought drugs in the dark web and paid with bitcoin.
So, it's obvious that bitcoin is perfect tool for criminals.
No names, no bank or government control, it's very easy to exchange bitcoin to local currency etc.
I guess, it's the same for terrorists.
I don't know how to solve it.




You don't need to solve anything.
Savages have been among us since the genesis of civilization.

Just wait til Monero catches on, as in mobile wallets come into fruition, kovri hits stable and point and click clients enabling the everyday user to easily switch through Bitcoin to Monero and back again without leaving a link become the norm.
Agents are already addressing their concerns and we haven't even surpassed one year of sales on the number one DNM.

The video is how to build 7x GPU rig. There is no problem with 7x GPU on MSI Z97 Gaming 5. The question is about possibility of building 8x gpu rig on MSI z97 G5 or Asrock H81 pro btc rev2 with PCIe extender
My bad.
Not that I'd imagine he'd share with you his configuration if he's selling these, but maybe make contact with wwpat@hotmail.com and ask for some pointers?
If he says no, I'll make contact as I'm interested in this particular setup with diff, possibly a mix set of cards.

Yeah itd be out in the open, also I wouldn't trust leaving it out of sight with my coworkers.  Its becoming a tricky thing given the circumstances lol
﴾͡๏̯͡๏﴿
id say just screen lock and enable a loud tone to emit on first failed login, then again, this could also work the other way and get you fired if you work with trolls?
But you don't think they will notice a heavy load on their network coming from you mining?
They will track it down to your laptop and then you will get fired.
Haven't you heard of that FBI agent who got caught using the federal bureau of investigation's network and servers for mining a little while ago? He was doing it for years but now they know what bitcoin is all about and everyone and anyone are enough to go to great lengths they are willing to sacrifice their own careers over.
The ones who monitor your network will know what it is now, not like in 2013 when it was just seen as regular "network traffic" and just swiped it off as Nancy just online shopping on multiple sites again. Kiss
You will get caught. There is no doubt about it.
That is unless you work in the I.T department and are the sole one to watch the network traffic and looking for high levels. Cause your co workers will report you to get your position that is if you higher then he is or a friend of theirs on the I.T crew just for your troubles. Wink
Unless you can give them all a cut of that mined coin. Such as hush money for you to keep your job and not reporting your actions to the networking department's director. Cause then it will be his head on the chopping block.
well yeah, if admins are doing their job, i can't imagine they'd just sit back and keep quiet, unless as you said, their coworker shared the rewards.

can't recall that case.
after the bridges and force ordeal, nothing surprises me anymore Cheesy

Re: ZCash vs Monero - privacy
by
sezecastronomine
on 28/03/2017, 21:58:45 UTC
OK, slight change of topic. As I said, I'm more interested in the technical side. So the question is more like what's the difference between ring signatures and zero knowledge proofs. And again, especially in terms of privacy (which one is more anonymous).
sorry, the fud just had to be addressed.

if zksnarks work as outlined, they offer far greater privacy with state of the art cryptography, see https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2014/11/27/zero-knowledge-proofs-illustrated-primer/.  
zcash stable hasn't even reached its first birthday, is the first real world application with mass public exposure using zero knowledge proofs and is being used more as speculation instead of day-to-day purchases.
we still need to give it time to mature and be torn apart by others to prove its worth before giving it the go ahead.

in the meantime, i can buy things with monero, walk the blockchain and have no clue as to what tx went where and how much, seeing as all is private by default.
with zcash where you have to opt-in to use a shielded address, its had this knock on effect where there are more users sending tx's in the clear, which impacts the anonymity set of the rest of the network who choose to shield; what part of "anonymity in numbers" did zcash not understand?
this is precisely where monero shines, all tx's are sacrosanct, fungibility is king.

ring sigs partly remind me of the -R flag from openpgp, probably due to the brute like manner in which it iterates the public keys.

I'm estimating with that laptop you'll probably get MAX 200 h/s mining XMR... at today's price that's about $0.39/day, and only if you're mining the full 24 hours. If you speed 8hrs at work that's $0.13 per day.

ROI would be: 15358.69 days, which is 42.07860274 years. This is assuming you go to work 365 days a year. LOL

Better solution: Buy a cheap laptop and build and ACTUAL RIG!! Smiley

With today's prices, RIO is only 4-6 months.



If i do an actual rig though I get stuck paying electricity d: .20 per kw was mainly the reason I was looking to multi task it in this fashion.

Also should be able to swing a 540 hashrate with the 1070 just using minergate ~

There is a recent version of CCMINER which will do 650-700h/s in cryptonight on a 1070.

But I thought you were referring to a laptop with a 1060 in it, not a 1070?

Between the two choices - the $1500 version has a 1060 (est 250-350 hash) the 1800 has a 1070 (est 540-650 hash)
I waa thinking its ineffective paying 300 for that upgrade but ~ almost doubling the hashrate makes me indecisive.
you'd be better off spending that 1.5k on 3-4 470s and settling with equihash for worthwhile returns instead of cryptonote - https://whattomine.com/coins/167-zcl-equihash?utf8=%E2%9C%93&hr=1080.0&p=600.0&fee=2.0&cost=0.2&hcost=1500&commit=Calculate, http://mycryptobuddy.com/MiningHardware

Can't take that to work with me though -> therefore the .20c electricity cost would kill me.
you could kit out a portable case and setup where ever your laptop was going to be if you're just buying a few?
if its out in the open, with others trying to work i get why it wouldn't be suitable, but if its a matter of there's a spare room and you can place it there, i don't see why it'd be an issue.
plus $7 daily returns for a coffee/monero or two, that is after withdrawal and tx fees.

as for home use, yes, you'll end up in the negative forking out electricity expenses :/
only other thought is to save up for a larger rig and find a decent colo provider in a state where kWh are below 10 cents

You can't trust Zcash. Its a private company with closed code.

For all you know the NSA could have see every transaction and who made it.

Monero has open source code and far more trustworthy.

The only problem with Monero is they are awful at marketing!


sorry, what?
to be able to run zcash you either have to download from their public git repo and compile as per instructions or you add their source to apt and just trust their pre-built elf.
if you go with the second option, often most convenient, you're placing your trust in the maintainer of the package but that doesn't mean the code is closed.
the only thing unknown and questionable about zcash is if the purge of the toxic waste actually took place and none of the participants went "eve".

monero has a solid development team. they shouldn't be expected to waste time on marketing, when they have a code base to maintain, build upon and secure.
maybe you and all the others who continue to complain about this should finally pony up and market xmr to the world?

Taxes on mining? Buaahhahahahahahahahhaha.  Grin Grin

+1.. The best thing about crypto is that you do not have to pay any taxes..

When you spend the coins, tax man might ask.

Yeah, they could.
What I try to do is spend most of my coins directly. I buy online in shops that accept bitcoin, buy directly from people that accept bitcoins, etc.


Do not forget that BTC (and also all the other cryptos) are currencies, use them
Lest we forget, "shift before buy except after mine".

Re: 8x GPU mining rig

Hello, all

Has anybody suceeded in building 8x GPU mining rig on Ubuntu or Win10 ?

I have MSI Z97 gaming 5 motherboards and they work great with 7 GPUs.
I tried this adapter http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCI-E-4X-Female-to-NGFF-M-2-M-Key-Male-Adapter-Power-Cable-with-Converter-Card-/311414541676 and this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCI-E-1X-Expansion-Kit-1-to-3-Port-Switch-Multiplier-HUB-Riser-Card-USB-Cable-/191949792720
Both didn't help to work 8th GPU. Though here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9z5bmjEepQ&t=21s the rig is built.
Please share your expertise in this question

Thanks,
Serge
