    [Linux] - Does anyone have experience using Kubernetes and Docker to mine across a larger swarm/cluster of machines?

    I am currently using Ansible to manage the mining of a moderate (40+) number of PXE booted machines (8-12 GPU's each) that run Ubuntu. It works well, but I think there might be a better way.

    Ideally, I'd like to find a way to use Kubernetes and Docker to make this process easier, but I am struggling a bit with what that architecture might look like. It would be great if I just use Maas to provision new "bare metal, diskless" machines and then have kubernetes see the installed GPU's as "available" and integrate them into a running instance of ccminer, sgminer, EWBF, etc. (whatever is most profitable). With that, I could run one (or two - one for Nvidia and one for AMD) Docker command and it would consume all of the available GPU resources to mine. Or, knowing how many GPU's I have, I could ask it to run ccminer on 50 GPU's and EWBF on another 50 and it would do it automatically.

    Am I thinking about this correctly and is it possible? If so, how would I go about setting this up. Obviously, I'd do it in the test lab before rolling it out to the wider farm.

    Thanks.

    Powering 3x Risers and 3x GPU's with Corsair PSU

    Posted: 05 Jul 2018 05:53 AM PDT

    Hello.

    I've looked into this a lot and have found very conflicting points of view as to how to do this.

    I have a HX1000i Corsair Modular PSU, and have currently got a couple of GPU's mining away no problem. I want to add a third GPU and it has occurred to me that if I use risers that I have insufficient power ports to power 3x risers.

    I currently have one of the GPU's directly in the board so is not an issue, but long term I want it moving outside via a riser.

    I've uploaded a quick photo of the back of the HX1000i showing the ports available. The CPU uses one of the ports, leaving me 5 empty PCIE slots.

    Then the 3x GPU's will occupy 3 of these, leaving 2 ports free.

    Photo of the layout is here:

    I am led to believe I cannot power my risers from the Sata/Peripheral ports as they are pinned-out differently and the ground etc is incorrect / wrong voltage. But I have seen specific cables (such as eBay link 183062838608) that seem to be for that exact purpose).

    I saw someone saying it was OK to do it, then another saying it's totally wrong and will cause damage.

    Can anyone confirm how they would go about this? I don't want to run my risers to Sata as I have heard far more negatives than positives about doing it this way.

    Thanks! M.

    How to find out what rx580 overcloking give me the most shares?

    Posted: 05 Jul 2018 04:54 AM PDT

    I have several types of Micron Hynix and Samsung and my baseline for overcloking is 1150/2060.

    The thing is each type of memory give me different hash rate and also different brand give me slightly different hashrate as well (gigabyte and Asus Hynix).

    How to find out what overcloking give the most shares?

    I mean what to use and what to watch? I learn that higher hashrate doesn't necessary means more shares. (also know it depends on luck)

    What are your procedures when you buy a new GPU or what are your settings for RX580 8GB?

    HELP- Cant mine BTG 144.5 on hiveOS

    Posted: 04 Jul 2018 11:04 AM PDT

    I have tried Supernova and MiningPoolHub. My rig hashes but doesn't appear on the network for either pool. Dashboard shows 0 hashes.

    EWBF Zec.miner, miner fork to 144.5 and hash algo to 144.5 BTG.

    %ZWAL%.%WORKER_NAME%

    us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com and port is 20595.

    then I tired supernova -

    btg.suprnova.cc

    port 8866

    %ZWAL%.%WORKER_NAME%

    Can anyone help?

    get your feet wet with predictable solo mining

    Posted: 04 Jul 2018 10:00 AM PDT

    I'm an enthusiast of the Ethpool "predictable solo mining" payout scheme so I created a couple of mining pools using the method. One is for Wownero, a Monero clone with BulletProofs enabled. The coin is new and currently has a rather low difficulty, so you can score an entire block's rewards pretty easily without a whole lot of mining power to get a feel for how the scheme works:

    https://cryptonote.social/wow

    And if you then want to graduate to play in the "big leagues", we've got one for Monero as well:

    https://cryptonote.social/xmr

    And of course there's the original Ethpool which I am not affiliated with but from which I have gained inspiration:

    Appreciate any thoughts around anyone's experiences with the scheme, what could be better, and so on.
