Sell all the hardware with profit and buy ETH is way faster than this rig will ever mine.

Re: Recovering LTC wallet password

Check this one https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover Litecoin is supported with this tool and all guide are inside that link.

I finally did this and it took 1 second to show the password lol.

I used this guide from an old post;
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3049316.msg31472285#msg31472285
I used this repo instead because it supports python3: https://github.com/3rdIteration/btcrecover


Step 0.) Install python
Step 1.) Download BTCRecover from Github: (https://github.com/3rdIteration/btcrecover)
Step 2.) Extract the files to your Desktop, now you should have a folder named "btcrecover-master" on your Desktop
Step 3.) Create a new .txt-file on your Desktop and name it tokens.txt - Open the tokens.txt and write this in it: %6P then put the tokens.txt into the "btcrecover-master" folder (instead I used a list of known passwords in the tokens.txt file)
Step 4.) Make a Copy of your Wallet.dat and copy it in the btcrecover-master folder - Now you have your tokens.txt and your Wallet.dat in the btcrecover-master folder.
Step 5.) Open the command prompt, now you should see this: "C:\Users\XYZ" type here now: "cd desktop" than "cd btcrecover-master" now it should look like this: "C:\Users\XYZ\Desktop\btcrecover-master>"
Step 6.) Ok, last Step, type this into the commend prompt: "C:\python27\python btcrecover.py --wallet wallet.dat --no-dupchecks --tokenlist tokens.txt"
Step 7.) Wait for btcrecover to crack your password

Re: Out of memory on CUDA device?

I’m using 390.77, while I think the latest one for GTX1060 is 465.89. The reason I’m using this particular version is because the GPU is a Chinese replica of the original one and it came with the older version in the disk. I tried installing the latest one, but it didn’t recognise the GPU. I will be very happy if you have any suggestions on what can be done in this case… Thank you!
Its probably not a real 1060 but old card like GTX 260 rebranded in BIOS if it is Chinese knock-off.

Maybe bruteforce, otherwise no way unless you have private key saved. Do you have private key saved for that address?
If you know some parts of the password, it can be easy to recover depending on the length of the password.
I dont have the private key unfortunately I was glad I was able to find the wallet at least. Smiley It an old address I haven't used since 2014.

I have a few words I think are in the password but I've been trying a few and none work.


How many words?
Maybe the words that you think are passwords might be a seed phrase.


If you have the wallet.dat file but you forgot the password you only have one last option to get the right password.
To find the right password you will need to use a recovery tool to bruteforce the password.

Check this one https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover Litecoin is supported with this tool and all guide are inside that link.
I have a txt file that says "its the xxx password" where xxx is a password I used for a lot of things in a lot of variations.

so like xxxLTC12345
or LTCxxx12345
or Supersecretxxxpasswordltc
etc.

Recovering LTC wallet password

I have an old (2014) litecoin wallet to which I accidentally transferred some money (miss-clicked the wrong address on the exchange).

I was glad I could find the wallet.dat to which I transferred the money but it's password protected when I try to withdraw the money.

Whats the best way to open it? I have a few words I think are in the password but I've been trying a few and none work.

Thanks.

Re: 1060 3GB refuses to mine anything but BeamV3. No Kawpow.
by

I have a 1060 3GB among my GPUs.  It absolutely refuses to mine anything other than BeamV3.  What coins are BeamV3, anyway?  How big is the Kawpow DAG file, is it big enough to eliminate 3GB GPUs now?



KawPow DAG is like 3300 MB I think.

It was around that size when I saw it loading on my 1650 Super awhile back.

It is under 3gb.  I have a couple of old 13 gpu rigs of 1060-3gb that mine it right now.
His problem is he is using windows...so windows is using up a lot of his vram.  Linux suffers none of those issues.

Dag is around 2.7gb for rvn....once thats gone he can switch to beam or etc....or another coin.
Exactly. Switch to Linux OS and mining will work on KawPow.

I have a 1060 3GB mining RVN with HiveOS.

Re: How are 4gb cards still able to pull 24-27mhs from mining ETH today?

Actually Even mining boards with a single long slot work fine.  i have done this on H81 and even TB85.  1 4gb in gpu 0 slot mining eth.  The other gpus on another coin on risers.  Running the one card on eth pays more than running it on any other coin currently.  The other slower cards are better on other coins than the reduced speed due to dag on eth.  


what linux os did you used? Did you be able to run eth + rvn on same machine? could you pelase explain more?

unfortunately, i'm getting 0 hashrate in zombie mode, is there something wrong here:

Hive OS rig with 2 cards. Hive OS says its 175w.

470 4gb
1060 3gb
Intel g3220
8 gb ram

Wall socket says 300w. System without cards is 55w.

Cards use 245w so HiveOS is off by 65w.

Most PC's have quad-core. Anything besides XMR I could mine with them? Doing TRTL now, pretty decent gains for old CPUs.

Mine with older cards

So for some reason I have free power for 3 months at a location. I still have a few old mining rigs with a lot of 6970 1GB and 2GB cards (from back in 2014).

Is there anything (besides SIA) these can still mine?

They won't do a lot but 3 free months is 3 free months. Smiley
