Should I threaten to cut my face off and eat it again if we don't hit it by a set %?
Don't have to cut, because our pool has solved the block! Yahoo

We are ranked #1 in mining pools on cryptocompare.com, right below the sponsored pool.  https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/#/pools  Maybe this will help bring in more people and a higher hash rate.

Congrats! This ETH noobpool is actually more happening than what is perceived here in this forum. There is a very active noobpool Telegram group going on, lively, hence less comments here in this forum I guess...

I can't help myself, I have to check variance every five minutes or so...

Me too, checking noobpool every now and then in a day... May lucky stars come very soon!

We currently average around 4GH/s, we want to get that up to around 10-12GH/s.  There is plenty of room to grow, no fees, on time payments, and a fun group of people to chat with while you mine.  Come join us.
Can't agree more with noobpool... noobpool himself is very helpful and almost instant reply if he is awake, if you encounter any issues with the pool.
Yes, fun group in the telegram!

Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v9.7 (Windows/Linux)

Hi all,

Please can you help me with this? I want to enable mixed GPU (Nvidia+AMD) mining in Claymore's.
Currently my rig setup is single GPU GTX 1070 (asus strix 08g).
I just bought a Sapphire RX 580 8GB to add on to my existing rig, for obvious reason RX580 is way cheaper in my country.

1. Should I create 2 start.bat files as if 2 miners, 1 for AMD and 1 for Nvidia? both will point to the same pool, same wallet
2. Or there is single line command line that can handle both mix brands (AMD Nvidia) GPU together? Can you show me the command line example? I read the Claymore's readme file but didn't see any options for it for mixed GPU.

After about 10 hours of work, I got the webpage and stats back up.  As you can see, those who kept mining continued to get credit.  None of that was messed with, it was only the webpage.  But it's all back to normal.

Thanks for getting this stats up. My miner was running but the stat didn't show it. I restart my start.bat and now I can see my miner stats at noobpool web.

Hi,
Need some advice here. Is it possible to mine ethereum using mix GPU? 1xAMD and 1xNvidia card in same rig?
I have a GTX1070, planning to get one AMD RX580.... just curious, for obvious reason RX580 is cheaper.



Yeah, it can be done, but you should use claymore and run each in a different instance since your command line arguments will be a little different each card.

Got it and thanks, I also found some articles that mixing AMD+Nvidia works fine. Will research more into this.

Finally, let's get the bad luck outta our way!

noobpool, just want to ask, for example, for a new block, if I started mining for a day, then I temporary quit the mining session, and I played PC games for a couple of hours, while I played PC games noobpool hit a jackpot solving a block, will I also get paid for the previous 1 day mining work that I contributed?

I use MSI Afterburner to tweak (although I'm using Asus Strix GPU), I learned from the forum members here too.
I tweaked to increase GPU memory frequency, incremental of 100MHz each time, click apply and let it stable for at least 10minutes, you can see the hashrate goes up real time, if PC is stable, I repeat the same step, 100MHz incremental  until your PC hit instability, marked that unstable frequency and dial back.

After achieving stable memory frequency, you can play around with GPU power level dial also, that should help to lower your electricity bill abit, and enjoy lower temperature.

What are the values that are stable for you?


I'm living in a tropical country, hence my room temperature is ~29'C (~84'F). If you are in cold country, maybe can push the limit further,

In MSI Afterburner, I'm having this setting stable for 1day+ already for my GTX 1070:
Memory Clock (MHz) = +540
Core Clock (MHz) = +0
Power Limit (%) = 68%
Fan Speed Auto (sometimes I set to 60)

With above setting, I'm getting ~30MH/s, GPU temp = 55'C

Damn, up to 111% variance.  Hopefully we get it soon and the next one at like 3%..

noobpool, how do they calculate the "bounty" per blockchain. For example, looks like our current block is more difficult to solve, do they pay higher ETH per block? Just curios what's the price tag they attach per blockchain and what's the criteria for that price tag?

Thanks for all your recommendation earlier, I'm able to increase my GTX1070 hashrate from 25MH/s to now average 30MH/s, while at the same time lowering power to 68%

How did you achieve such result?
My Gtx1070 is running at 25MH  Cry

I'm considering to add 1 more GPU, that should help the pool hashrate by a little

Guys, which crypto to crypto exchange will you recommend? I was looking at Poloniex, but I want to explore more options...

Eagleye, thanks for the sharing.
Any ideas when likely we are going to solve another block?
Which indicator do we look at to predict and calculate the estimated time needed to solve a block? Barring the luck factor.

noobpool, I look at the stat from noobpool web, my hash is only showing:
Hashrate (rough, short average) = ~18MH
Hashrate (accurate, long average) = ~22MH

However my local start.dat window is consistently showing 25 to 26MH/s
I OC memory up, I was able to get 31MH stable for 5minutes, but I don't see my hashrate stat at noobpool web get updated. Later I switch back to default mem clock for better stability.

So regarding the stat at noobpool web, may I know anything wrong with that hashrate? Any reason it doesn't reflect what I see at my local machine?

guys, thanks for the input about numping memory speed. Will experiment it right away.
If using claymore, bumping the power to 70% utilization, is it using this switch -ethi 7? I read somewhere the default is 80% power intensity

Mine is Asus strix 1070, already an OC version, but I guess the memory isn't OC'ed.

You need to modify the configuration on your main page and help page. 

When using ethminer there are two switches.  the -G you mention is only for AMD based GPUs best performance.
changing the -G to
-U is the configuration for Nvidia GPUs.  I think some NOOBs are confused by this.  This is only for use with ethminer and not with claymore.

Best nvidia GTX 1050/60/70/80 config is as follows

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

ethminer --farm-recheck 500 -U -F http://noobpool.com:8888/0x/ --cuda-parallel-hash 4
pause
all in a .bat file running windows 10 and latest drivers

eagleye, for nvidia card 1070, any difference with using ethminer vs claymore?
I'm using claymore currently, avg hash ~26MH/s. If switching to ethminer, any idea how much % jump in hashrate?

Noobpool - first off, thanks for standing up a quality pool and addressing issues found so quickly.  I jumped in right after the first block was found and am looking forward to mining with this group for a long while.

Second - any chance you've looked at enabling notifications for the pool?  For example inactive miner or new block found email updates?  No idea what goes into doing that or how much effort it is, but thought it would be helpful to those of us in the pool.


For your 2nd proposal, you can download an App from Google Play called PoolWatch, and just key in the json API url (which you can obtain from noobpool website by keying in your public address) into this app.
It works wonderful for me to check on my rig run status.
