What brand/model of card is this please?
I like the idea of this coin, I even ran it on my sites for a few days back in November.
However, it's not on any exchanges, and when it does - what will drive its price?
Why would anyone who doesn't have this coin want to buy it with Cash/BTC? There needs to be a reason people want this coin in order to drive demand and cause the price to go up.
Otherwise, a bunch of web developers will be holding the coin wondering how to exchange it for something of value?!

A 750 Ti will get around 75-80 H/s on equihash. If it's using around 60 watts, then the efficiency is horrible.
If you're power is free, or if you're looking to experiment etc, then go for it!
If you're power is free, or if you're looking to experiment etc, then go for it!
In terms of efficiency, that is hashrate per kilowatt-hour, which GPU is the best?
I assume you're asking this question because you have expensive power?
Looks like most people like the 1080 Ti, and it is a strong hasher, but it depends.... on:
1. What algorithm are you going to mine? I only mine equihash, so that's all I can comment on right now. If you want to mine cryptonight etc, then disregard
On Equihash, a 1080 Ti can get 700-800 Sol/s, with the most efficient settings getting around 725 sol/s and using 250 watts.
A 1070 Ti can get 525-650 Sol/s, with the most efficient settings getting around 570 sol/s using 170 watts.
At those speeds, it comes down to the power cost usage over a month being only a few kW hours difference.
2. Purchase cost of the GPU - Some cards that are more efficient are so much more expensive to buy that you'd have to mine for 2 years in order to be at the same cost point so it just might not be worth looking for efficiency
3. Electricity cost - The more your electricity cost is, the quicker you can pay off paying more up front for a card in order to save power in the long run
Source: http://miningcharts.com/gpu-mining-comparison-chart/best-price-and-power-usage/
This comparison chart calculates, and visually shows you how much power you're saving, and how long it takes to make up the difference.
What I THINK makes the most difference is that this chart puts it into terms that make sense - it calculates power use and up-front cost per 100 hashes/sec so you can actually compare apples to apples!
2. Power switch is unneeded. Short out connection with screwdriver, then mod BIOS to start automatically on power up, then you can use the switch on the back of the power supply.
Sorry, not sure.
I wouldn't leave it shorted out, but if you enter BIOS you can set it to boot up automatically when it receives power, so that way you can use the switch on your power supply or on a power bar.
Click on Settings > Advanced > Power Management setup, and change Restore after AC Power Loss to Power On. That way, your miner can restart itself if there is a power outage. Plus, no more needing to short the power pins to get it to boot. Now you can use the switch on the back of the power supply for mining to turn your mining rig on and off." from here: https://www.pyramidreviews.com/cryptocorner/building-an-ethereum-mining-rig/
Currently a GTX1050Ti costs 54% the cost of a GTX1060 6G card, it mines at 59% the hashrate of a 1060 and uses 72% of the power of a 1060.
So in terms of cost it is slightly better but not really power usage
Seeing that it takes up an additional slot of a MB requiring more MB,CPU,RAM for another rig it probably isn't worth it.
Also have to take Resell value into account if you ever want to sell them. 1060 or 1070 will sell better later to Gamers than a GTX1050Ti imo.

Unlike the 1060's I can actually find the 1050ti's for sale.
And the price differential has shifted too - if you can get a 1060, they're expensive. The 1050ti is about 40-45% of the cost (not counting the crazy expensive ones people are trying to sell themselves on Amazon): http://miningcharts.com/crypto-gpu-mining/gtx-1050-ti/

Can I pay with PayPal so that I have some recourse if the miner doesn't ever show up at my door?
Hi,
I'm mining ETH on with a Ryzen5 CPU on the X370-Pro mobo.
I'll admit - probably not ideal as most rigs are Intel and with "BTC" mobos.
In any case I have been able to mine pretty effectively with an RX480 (4Gb) and an RX580 (8Gb) using two PCI x16 slots.
My sum hashrate is around 44Mh/sec @320 Watt with stock cards and some minor changes in Wattman.
Cards sit at ~60 Celsius, which is "ok enough" to me.
The problem occurs when adding a third graphics card [ RX580 (8Gb) ].
I run the card through a riser and then all 3 cards drop to ~18Mh/sec (total 54M/h).
Not sure if it is a dud riser, so I've order a few more that look to be better quality.
I'm currently running the board on a different mobo (8yrs old HTPC mobo, w/ old Intel i5 CPU) and it's hashing even better (24Mh) than either of my cards on the (newish) AMD board (~22Mh each).
I'm after any advice with regard to the following;
- I'd really like to get all 3 cards hashing on my ASUS/AMD board at 24Mh (which I'm seeing on the Intel board).
- I note that a similar board, but made for Intel chips (ASUS Z290) has settings in the BIOS that let me set PEGs to "Gen2"... or some such .
- I figured I might be able to find the same settings in my BIOS, and [1] that might get my other cards up to 24Mh each, and [2] that might get my riser working as expected.
- Unfortunately these settings don't (appear) exist in the BIOS on the X390 Pro board. (The BIOS actually doesn't have that many options at all, even under the advanced menus).
If anyone has encountered similar, or has tips to further optimise what I'm doing, I'm all ears!
Thanks in advance.

Usually a bad riser causes one card not to work, vs throttling all 3 cards, but this is what I'd do: Remove one of first 2 cards that was working fine, and put the third card in that spot and see what happens. If it works fine, then your GPU is good and the problem could be with the 3rd riser. Then try the 3rd riser in that working spot with working card to see if that still works.
If it does, then it is a system issue with adding the 3rd GPU, vs a hardware issue with the 3rd riser or 3rd GPU.
If it's a system issue, how much RAM do you have? Might be not enough and it's causing all 3 cards to run slower.
Are you running Windows?
Mining is a very difficult task. However tried on my previous laptop for the Dogecoin mining. It was now become obsolete completely and I have to purchase a new laptop.
Good to know thanks
Looks good, couple things I'd change, but depends on if you're looking for lowest cost etc:
1. RAM comment made above
2. Power switch is unneeded. Short out connection with screwdriver, then mod BIOS to start automatically on power up, then you can use the switch on the back of the power supply.
3. That's a larger SSD than you need - I have a 60 GB and that's more than I need even.
4. Any reason yuou're going for that specific motherboard? Looks like there are others (like the 19 slot one) available for a similar price on Amazon, then you wouldn't have to mess around with the M.2 slot, you can use 19 through PCIe slots: https://www.pyramidreviews.com/product-reviews/cryptocurrency/mining-rigs/best-motherboard-for-mining-ethereum/
Might be different in your location I guess?
5. Yes, build your own frame out of wood will help save money and improve your ROI time
Question: Where are you sourcing your GPUs from that you can get them at a decent price?!

My 1060 3gb versions can't do more than 18,6 Mh/s on Ethash algorithm... Bad RAM.. :/
I am using them on equihash with cca 280 sols/s, which is fine for 210$ card

Hi
i have 8*MSI p106-100 6GB (The P106-100 is based on the Nvidia GP106 GPUGeForce GTX 1060) which using Hynix RAM
[...] how i can increase our hash rate ?

You might be better off mining equihash coins, unless you want to mine and hold ETH

Just wanted to mention that the HP OEM GTX 1060 3GB cards in these may possibly come with Samsung RAM.

These are on clearance for $250, if you can find some it would be very worth your time to pick one up. Ive been selling the Desktops without the 1060 for a solid $300+ on eBay.
All of mine came with Samsung ram and my god.... for some crappy OEM card these things are crypto monsters! Everyone one of them is maxed out in MSI afterburner at +1000 mem!
Hashrates:
Dual mine Eth + sia = 24.7 Mh/s Eth and 247 MH/s SIA.
Eth only = 25.2 Mh/s or higher.
Lets be real, any 1060 3GB that hashes over 25 mh/s is the holy grail of 1060 3GB cards.

Umm, Walmart says $499, not $250
Thanks blissz Keep it up. No more scandalous D3. Temp(PCB) 60-67 while Temp(Chip) 73-82. 815W on my wall with 16.4 GH/s
Keep it up. No more scandalous D3. Temp(PCB) 60-67 while Temp(Chip) 73-82. 815W on my wall with 16.4 GH/s Using a mining calc, this gives slightly less daily profit than running it at 19.3 GH/s with the stock 1200 watts - am I missing something?
Great thank-you!
Sheesh, it does seem like a stupid question now that I know the answer - I don't recall learning/hearing that anywhere in my interweb travels so thanks for taking the time to respond.
So is it safe to assume that:
1. there are no limitations on the minimum size of memory needed to mine ZenCash, ZCash, or other equihash crypto?
2. any other ethash cryptos also have DAG files? Or is it an Ethereum specific thing?
3. I am a butcher or fisherman?

I've search this site, and Google, and can't find any info.
I assume it's fairly small for now, but wondering how long I can mine with a 2GB or 3GB size GPU.
Can you point me to somewhere that I can find out the DAG file size for ZenCash? Or is there some other method I can use to determine size?
Thanks!

Two things pertaining to the hardware. I have a D3 off grid right now and an S9 on grid that I will be moving in a couple of days so I will have a look at the hash cards for similarities.
After that, if I notice that the boards are the same I will order a Beaglebone black from Beaglebone, flash and MSD image, install and try it. It cant hurt. If this works then this will be a start at opening the platform.

You lost me here. What would you flash it with? The S9 firmware? Are you saying that the rest of the units are the same, and it could just be the firmware on the processor board blocking the ability to run other algorithms?
Have any brands proven to be just X Memory
So for example the single fan evga cards, are they all Samsung?
How is the site linked accurate if memory varies within the same card model? Or is that not the case?

Hey VoskCoin, been following you on YouTube for a while, thanks for sharing your stuff!
Short Answer: The memory does vary within a card model and it makes things very difficult to compare.
Long Answer: The difficulty is that there are so many variables when comparing one card to another - hashrate (depending on memory type and mining algorithm), power usage - add to that the ever changing prices and 'out-of-stock' issues. The charts on the site are an attempt to make all of that research easier, and I'm working on adding more features that will make it easier.
