    I'm Worried For SOME (not all) of You

    Posted: 05 Feb 2018 01:32 PM PST

    Please take this in the spirit it's intended for. I'm honestly worried about many (not all) of you and don't want harm to come to you or your families financial well-being. Been lurking on this reddit for a week. So far I've ready many comments like:

    "I'm starting a company that builds mining machines to rent to miners. Anyone know good builds?" - this should be self-explanatory.

    "I'm putting all my savings into mining." - not wise

    "Wife and I took out a loan to build a $3000 rig." - nice! my wife would kill me.

    "I've sold my car and put all the money into GPU's." - now what?

    These are just some of the comments I've seen. I'm sure people have cleared out kids' college savings or emergency funds, etc... As a former investment advisor, I've seen these trends all too often and 90% of the stories end with someone losing their ass. If you need a loan to build a $3000 rig, then you probably don't have the financial stability to be doing this. Not to mention the strain on your marriage (if you are married) if/when this doesn't end well. Many have a good paying job and the financial resources to do this on the side, but I just question the wisdom for the others who see the money today.

    Cleared out GPU aisles, mining investment companies popping up by the hundreds, people spending thousands of dollars on something they didn't know existing 3 weeks ago, clearing out every dime of savings, proliferation of non-sense alt-coins, etc etc. Cryptocurrency at the end of the day is NOT based on a real world object (gold, silver, etc) and is NOT backed by any government. It's value therefore can wildly fluctuate as you all know and have experienced.

    Golden rule of investing is to not put more than 5-10% of your overall portfolio in any one investment. I'd always have investors call me up and say they wanted to buy _________ stock because it went up 600% last month....yes it DID go up 600%, you missed out on that and now you are buying at a high mark! At the end of the day, like with all investments, you should only be putting in what you are willing to lose... yes, yes, I know there is a ROI and some income, I get it, just be wise and do not get caught up in the hype for hype sake.

    Lastly, I hope I'm very wrong and we all can look back 10 years from now and cheer that we spent all this energy/money on mining.

    MOBO won't run with two GPUs - what to do?

    Posted: 06 Feb 2018 05:55 AM PST

    I have an ASrock Z170 Pro4s motherboard with two GPUs fitted: a K2200 for working purpose and a GTX 780 for mining. My problem is that the BIOS/device manager will only recognize 1 GPU at a time. If the K2200 is in PCIe2 and the GTX 780 is in PCIe4, BIOS only shows PCIe2 in use. If I switch the cards around, BIOS will show the GTX 780 in use. HOWEVER - if I only have a card in PCIe4, BIOS will show this particular card as in use in PCIe4. My conclusion is therefore: both cards work and both PCIe slots work, but they can't run simuntaniously. It seems the PCIe2 slot will aways be prioritized if there is a card present here.

    I've contacted ASrock and they have tested the particular MOBO with similar BIOS and GPUs, and they don't encounter same issue. They advised me to reset the CMOS, but this did not help.

    Do any of you guys have a suggestion what might be wrong here?

    Market crash and mining. Deja freakin’ vu.

    Posted: 05 Feb 2018 03:41 PM PST

    Guys, for everyone who is worried about what is happening with the market, take a lil' stroll in the way back machine and look at reddit this past summer. And the previous winter. Just take a peekie-poo. Look familiar? Yeah, this has happened before. And the market pops and drops and GPU hoarding and hocking have happened before. And it's all happening again. And guess what? Yeah. It's gonna happen again. And again.

    Stop freaking the fuck out and happy mining. I'll see you all in summer when Bitcoin is $45k and our used 1080Tis are worth $1,000.

    What's your strategy now?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2018 11:54 PM PST

    I have 6x 1070s , 4x 580s and 2x 1080tis.

    Basically I'm gonna continue Zcash mining on the nvidia and thinking of retiring the AMD cards. They've already paid for themselves, and they're pretty loud actually, much more so than the STRIX Nvidia cards. I'm also considering mining some Ethash shitcoins on the AMD cards, anything other than Ethereum you think would be worthwhile to hold that is based on Ethash?

    The crash, and time to scale up. Your take.

    Posted: 06 Feb 2018 07:47 AM PST

    Just right before new generation of GPU hitting the market, the market crash. There's going to be a crap load of GPU on the used market.

    • Is this just happen to be a coincidence?

    Within the next few days/weeks, current gen cards will flood the market.

    • How will this affect the next gen card pricing?

    • Will gamers not buy used card and continue to wait for un-used new generation cards?

    • What's your take?

    With the crash, is it now easier to mine?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2018 09:10 PM PST

    Simple question from a newbie.

    Because the price of bitcoin and other coins went down I guess some people stopped mining. Does this now makes it easier to mine for the rest?

    Also does the amount of transactions and volume taking place have any kind of influence on mining?

    What's your uptime?

    Posted: 06 Feb 2018 07:38 AM PST

    With the crash happening I'd figure we could have some measuring contests around here. Curious on what you longest rig uptime is. Mine is only:

    09:35:15 up 26 days, 17 min, 3 users, load average: 1.30, 1.35, 1.36

    I used to have uptime measured in months instead of days before I took some time up from mining...

    Sol/s Drops from 320 to 40 after starting to use PCI Riser

    Posted: 06 Feb 2018 06:53 AM PST

    Hello guys

    Im having a problem, i have been mining with my GTX 1060 6gb and my HD 7970 for a mounth now, with no problem, they have been in the motherboard, and i have not been using PCI Risers becouse shipping took really long

    Today i got them tougether with a new PSU, i connected everything and turned on my rig, but only the 1060 showed up, but it only mined 40 Sol/s when its used to doing 290-320

    i then connected it to the motherboard again and i was getting 320 Sol/s... does anyone know what the problem is?

    12-GPU mining rig software issues

    Posted: 06 Feb 2018 06:30 AM PST

    I have 11 AMD cards, 3x R9 290x, 2x R9 280x, 6x R9 270x and 1x NVIDIA GTX 970. I tried installing the latest AMD drivers, device manager had all of them show up, yet when I tried to run nicehash legacy none of them showed up. I was wondering, is there any limit to the amount of GPUs that AMD can support? If not what other issues could there be?

    Benchmark 10 times less than mining hashrate?

    Posted: 06 Feb 2018 06:28 AM PST

    Hi, on hashmine legacy and daggerhashimoto -ethminer- I'm getting 17 Mh/s on benchmarking and around 2 when mining, it only happens with that one but its also the highest I get when benchmarking. Only one time from many I was able to finally mine the same as the benchmark so I'm sure its possible, I just dont know whats happening, its an old serie 700 card.

    Just dropped out of school and got some money, can't wait to get started!

    Posted: 05 Feb 2018 09:38 PM PST

    My friend was telling me about how bitcoin was worth almost 20k last month, and I saw Keemstar make some money. So I decided to invest. I had to sacrifice my scholarship and my car but I was able to get 5 1050ti's for only $600 each! I'm going to start next month once I move back in with my parents, hopefully I can get them to pay the electric bill for maximum profits lol.

    A couple of questions.

    How do I mine the blockchain?

    How much is bitcoin right now?

    Where is the bitcoin bank?

    What is a ethereum?

    Can I mine without internet?

    I was reading that somepeople were using oil to cool their rigs? Can I just use some oil from the gas station or do I need cooking oil?

    How much bitcoins will i make a day? 40-60? Or something like 100?

    Will god save me?

    Thanks!

    Rig BSOD, even when miner isn't running....

    Posted: 06 Feb 2018 06:21 AM PST

    I have a rig that has run rock solid for almost 2 months. I went by this weekend to flash the bios to attempt to lower the vcore and save energy like my rig at home. I did the same to my friends rig that I maintain.

    Well my friends rig is running fine (we have the same GPUs with same memory type, same PSU as well. Different motherboards,CPU and I am on DDR3 and they have DDR4). Mine keeps BSOD'ing randomly. When I first flashed the bios it ran fine for 7 or so hours. Then it crashed/BSOD. Ever since I cannot get it stable.It has even crashed/BSOD with me not evening running the miner and the rig being primarily idle. In all of this I never saw any memory errors in hwinfo while it has mined.

    What I have done so far: Reflashed the bios back to where it was. Reinstalled blockchain drivers Reinstalled Windows 10

    With this crashing/BSODing without even mining, this makes me think this is hardware related.

    My next plan of action is to check the riser connections since I did unplug two when flashing bios, maybe one is loose? The cards all show fine in windows.

    After that is to unplug a riser from the motherboard and see if it follows a riser/gpu. I am hoping for a loose connection or a riser going bad maybe? I have a couple spare.

    Any ideas? Anyone had a riser cause an issue similar to this?

    MiningPoolHub's auto exchange efficiency?

    Posted: 06 Feb 2018 05:58 AM PST

    I have auto exchange set up for the multi-algorithm miner I'm running to convert everything into LTC. The description of the auto exchange option on the MPH site doesn't go into much detail other than it accumulates coins to be efficiently converted and then adds an additional 0.2% fee, but if my 0.001 Zcash batched exchanges are losing a huge percentage for being such a small amount, I'd rather wait for a higher accumulation and do it manually if that's better. Since I usually don't get the amount the multi-algorithm miners are predicting, it feels like the auto exchange is taking more than a fixed percentage or MPH is just skimming more than they claim. Thanks!

    Slow network & overall performance with 6 GPU's

    Posted: 06 Feb 2018 05:32 AM PST

    I have three rigs that are identical as far as the baord, RAM & processor is concerned:
    - TB250-BTC board
    - 8GB of RAM (single slot)
    - Celeron processor
    - Sandisk 128GB SSD
    - Windows 10
    - No OC
    - 90% power
    - All drivers are current
    - Rig #1 (6 1080 Ti's)
    - Rig #2 (5 1080 Ti's)
    - Rig #3 (3 1080 Ti's)

    Currently connected through Wifi dongle (USB) for Rig #1. PCI-E Wifi card for Rig #2.

    Problem: #1 Rig with 6 GPU's (1080 Ti's) running causes slow internet and slow performance overall outside mining.

    When all 6 GPU's are running on #1 rig, I have hard time pulling up any website, like the internet is absolutely slow. #2 rig has 5 cards with PCI-E Wifi card which works fine.

    Now I'm on 150/12Mbps internet and there's no slow down with other devices. In fact my phone registered close to 140Mbps when rig #1 barely connects.

    This is also causing intermittent connection loss with Rig #1 with NiceHash. Tried with awesomeminer and same results. Drivers are all updated.

    So, I pulled out the GPU and put back another PCI-E Wifi card. It seems to be a lot better. Before you say it's probably the Wifi USB dongle, I have a small 3-card rig that runs off of it just fine.

    Is it possible the Celeron just can't handle six GPU's and I need something like i3 or i5 at least?

    I haven't tested out the PowerLine I just got from Amazon to have direct line connected. But if 6 GPU's still continue to under perform, can I assume it's likely the CPU?

    Cardboard as frame

    Posted: 06 Feb 2018 04:50 AM PST

    Hi so I need a frame for my 2gpu rig, 1070 and 560 4gb, a 550w psu. My mom is really stressed it will catch alight on cardboard 📦. Will it go 🔥 or is there any other 100% to be safe safety precautions

    Edit: I will cut MANY ventilation holes

    Designing a rig frame, heat generation assumptions?

    Posted: 06 Feb 2018 01:04 AM PST

    I am currently working on the design of the frame for my second rig.

    On my first frame I placed the PSU on the side in away that blow its hot air away from the rig and not up, where I have the GPU's.

     

    Now I am not sure this is necessary. if I understand currently all of the consumed power is eventually transformed to heat. The PSU (gold) has about 90% efficiency which means that it consumes only 10% of the input power from the socket, the rest of the 90% is consumed by the mobo,SSD and by the GPU's. (by far the biggest consumer of power). which means that most of the heat is generated by the GPU's and the heat from the PSU is negligible?

    Gtx 1080 with a single 8 pin.

    Posted: 06 Feb 2018 04:28 AM PST

    I am looking around and I found a few 1080 for sale with only 1 8 pin connector. Does that limit my Wattage and in turn limit performance?

    Nicehash vs Minerhotel?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2018 08:01 PM PST

    Looks like minerhotel is the closest option for linux users as nicehash does not support linux. Anybody using it? Any reviews? Anything i should know before i start?
