Almost finished.

Yesterday at work for 7 hours all what i did was to think what was going on and what i was doing wrong that the Machine recognized just 3 cards instead 4, i almost gave up but suddenly i had an idea my last chance, i went home tried it and it worked.

It was something stupid but two days ago i didn't think about it maybe because i had too much stress trying to fix it, btw what i did was unplug all cards, downloaded DDU booted in safe mode and uninstalled all videos drivers, plugged the card that the system didn't recognize and installed nvidia drivers restarted the Machine and the card was working, the other 3 cards i installed it adding one card at a time rebooting and adding the next till all 4 cards were recognized.

Looking good! One question - why are you running off of the built in video? I've heard that it takes a few PCIe lanes away.

Anyway to skip it? it runs a lot.

It's just a text line at start. It does nothing.

@cdawall where have you been finding them in Houston? I've been looking and Microcenter seems to be price gouging on the 1070's... Have managed to pick up some open box, but damn, they've cranked up the prices...

My current b.s. job involves that houston microcenter at least for the rest of the month.

I see, you were talking about pounds, if you're interested just send me a PM.

Thanks Knoxx29, I'm going to see what comes up on prime day, as I'm also considering a 1440p monitor. I need to see how much money I have left closer to the end of my trip too as staying in Europe is a bit more expensive than I'd hoped.

Almost lost it. I woke up this morning to see Nicehash reporting only .08USD! I had over 10 bucks in there. Before I totally freaked out, I checked Coinbase and as it turns out I received my first payout. .0004BTC worth $10.56.

What a coincidence, i had 50€ and today i saw they were gone and first thing i thought someone hacked my account but a few minutes later i found out that i got paid.

anyone else notice on Nicehash it sometimes mines for a different bitcoin account?

Not mine.

One of the miners it uses has a mandatory 2% donation yeah. You still make more than competing methods.

Not mine.

That is the developer fee, the fee that the developer gets to improve the mining program and for his/her time to make the program.
You make something so you wanna get paid for it.

Seems there's lots of fees involved in this. Fees in the mining program, fees when I get paid, fees when I withdraw from my Bitcoin wallet... and then I realized it's not much different from "real" money, only less intrusive. I remind myself of what my pay stubs look like and suddenly Bitcoin fees seem much more reasonable.

And dont forget to pay your fees, taxes, to the government. Mining income is considered income.

It wasn't supposed to be that way at cryptos inception, but yeah, that's what it's become.

Everyone always wants a cut.

hat · Jul 7, 2017

Of course everyone wants a cut. That guy with that 2% fee for using his mining program is probably rich af right now.

I'd say he's steadily employed and has it in his interest to make sure his miner is the "best on the market" for certain.

GTX1070 profitability on the nicehash calculator seems to be declining. I remember it being closer to $5/day, now it's around $2.84 or something. What happened?

Crypto is taking a bit of a shit in value right now, primarily.

Tricky that since none are right for amd cards you need to disable monitor sleep and pc sleep on any you choose , i made my own to limit core speed to 2ghz max too with no sleep features on , an amd headed miner can stop mining if it hasn't got a screen attached ,yet maddeningly if you didn't have one attached in the first place they work ok yet cant be tuned, just what ive found , nvidia cards are not bothered by monitors switching off but i still set it up the same.

This morning i found out that all 4 cards were mining just 0.65€ ( DaggerHashimoto ) they were mining but it's like they went into some very low power usage, maybe it's because i was using Windows power save mode, now i switched to balance power mode.
