I think something may be wrong with Lyra2z on Zergpool.

I spent close to two weeks mining it directly & received around 1/2 the estimate amount each day -- when looking at "24 hour actual" each day it is also about 1/2 the estimate every time I have checked.

I swapped my workers to Blazepool and achieved essentially 2x the reward (meaning I met the estimates) even though their pool is MUCH smaller in terms of hash-rate. Their "24 hour actual" seems to be really close to the estimate every time I have checked.

I suspect that maybe there is an error on which coin within Lyra2z that Zergpool software is selecting to mine.

It is certainly worth investigating since the Lyra2z part of Zergpool is quite large.

Not really good results either with Lyra2z, lyra2v2, and x17, as well as neo giving less than usually.

I would advice to look into equihash192, its profits are even larger than estimated lately for GPUs. OR equihash144 with BTCZ which I will bring in next couple of days.

And we also have Zcoin, which can consume quite some hash, if you can check what is your wallet hash contribution to Zcoin, we found some blocks having good hash before, now it reduced so no blocks for past 4 days.
I will actually set it no autotrade until we gain more hash

Zcoin may be the culprit -- Blazepool does not have Zcoin.

Is the Stellite dead coin? Today is $0.00027 (฿ 0.00000004) Sad

What are your predictions? Huh
No no ...it's not dead ....the team it's working hard...
Stellite pay and new website on the way   Grin


Sounds promising.

So. My PNY 1080s ran out of warranty last month -- and I had two die on me in the heat.

To my surprise I discovered broken GPUs have some fairly decent value on E-Bay.

I paid $499 each in June 2017 for the cards... sold for $200 each on E-Bay as broken / for parts.

I would certainly like to see a new Exchange some time in this year for ITNS after the product launches.

How many coins requied now for run 1 masternode? And how many coins you received guys from 1 masternode?
Are they going listing to some other popular exchanges?

1000 coins.

I get 9 coins every 2 days as of now.

I may have to give this a shot. I've been in the process of changing over to CoolMiner on all my rigs for the summer.

How does this compare in terms of KH per watt to CoolMiner ?

I have seen similar issues with systems that are powered 24/7 that really aren't meant to be. If the capacitors for the on-board regulators are not of high quality then over time they swell up and sometimes even leak their guts.

I have a Windows 7 desktop computer that runs 24/7 as my home DVR. It is running the Free Windows Media Center. I have had to replace the motherboard once already because of bulging capacitors. Then the replacement motherboard began to have issues. Since I now knew the problem was capacitors I replaced the ones I found bulging which fixed the problem.

Going back to my failing Z400 the reason it failed was when it got powered down the capacitors had pressure reduced because of no power. The constant pressure then no pressure is what caused it to open up and thus lose it's value causing incorrect power on the motherboard.

Because of this issue you may need more than a few Z400 spare motherboards. If a time comes when you have to power off your Z400 miners a number of them may not power up again without issues.

I will keep the post updated -- as of today I have 70 of the Z400 workstations running (8 more will be coming online to finish my current mining plans).

My oldest one is from May 2017 -- so far just the one has this type of issue.

But, I will be sure to update if any more issues pop up in the interest of accuracy / objectivity.

So... the plot thickens.

I changed the motherboard out -- seemed okay for ~2 days.

BAM -- same exact 4-beep code.

I was a bit frustrated but noted the hard drive was a 13-year old Maxtor... while no errors specifically showed hard drive... HP documents say ANY bad hardware can cause the 4-beep failure.

Changed hard drive to brand-new unit, re-installed all software, and now it's been on since last Thursday.

So... maybe just that old hard drive the whole time!

This is the 3rd refurb that I have replaced the hard drive on... but this first one that caused this type of issue.

It's been basically a full week now after replacing that hard drive -- the system hasn't shut off or had any errors since.

So, I suppose, the motherboard wasn't even bad at all so I will hang onto it as another spare.

Hello! Looks good!  Thank you for sharing it! But will it work? And will this idea save costs? 5 can I use video cards this way?  But anyway, thank you!!

I've been running Z400s since May 2017 -- so, yes, it works well and reliability has been great. Out of 70 machines total I've had 3 hard drive failures as they are refurbs... otherwise no issues with the Z400s themselves.

I have used up to 6 cards with PCI-E splitters in these machines as well -- a few of them running for several months so far.

So this seems like a nice project... got a little impatient and bought in a nice sized bag by trading in my remaining mined XMR... in addition to starting mining.

Are there difficulty over time graphs available for this coin ?

Just out of curiosity... I enjoy that stuff.

Started mining yesterday =)

No idea how accurate this is, but: https://www.difficultychart.com/stellite

Also, for the last month there is always the trusty hashvault graphs: https://stellite.hashvault.pro/en/#!/

Have fun mining, big dog! Smiley

Thanks for the links! =)

Good project for cheaper mining and high hashrate also. I hope to build like yours after i finished with a bounty project ico and i hope to get some the capital from it to start build a rig like that. Thank you for information, and very inspire project.

Glad that you enjoyed the thread!

XMRig on Windows (CPU) set up no problem at all (Version 2.6.2).

Question, though, does XMR-STAK on Linux support this coin ?

I already have XMR-STAK compiled on 29 machines doing XMR right now... would be easier if I could just change the configs. Thinking I will bring them on Monday... ~58 kH or so.


newest XMR-STAK supports it.

https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/releases

Thanks -- looks like I will need to re-compile to the newest version =)
