Riding the Crypto wave

[111frodon]

i will have a look see.. last time i looked cpu mining would have taken 5 days to get one dollar.. but crypto is very volatile at the moment..

trog

ps.. yep mine is now showing 1.02 dollars per day.. far better than what it was..

My 2500k@4.4 ghz is at 1.05-1.07$ per day, up from 0.32-0.35$ when i went to sleep last night. I'll go and switch my mining rig after work, i'm curious to see if my 290s will double their production, just like my rx 480 did.

I think he's talking about cryotonight on GPU. I noticed my 1070s running it making a decent amount, more than the average as of late.

ed. Guess he did mean CPU after all. I do run it just cause but I didn't notice any significant change there.

In fact i meant both. Cpu and gpu are both running cryptonight atm and it seems like it's value has increased around 2.5x overnight. I'm at work and don't have access to all web sites, so i don't understand where it's coming from!

i looked at mine again.. 1.14 dollars per day just running the cpu miner.. definitely worth running on a one or two card desktop rig.. it uses about 40% cpu power on my 7700k cpu..

on my 8 card mining rig with a kaby lake I3 cpu at 3.9 gig not so much.. it hogs 100% cpu power which is not good..

how long it stays this way is an unknown.. he he

My total production of 140 MH of ethereum was netting me 12-13$ daily. Now it is 18-19$! And my power consomption is down 25%. Check your rigs, especially if your using ellesmere cards. They seems to love cryptonight, my 1325/2100 rx480 4gb is at 725 H.

It’d be nice if someone could check if the memory timings are as important as eth.

Not really seams core speed helps more to me.

From what Google can tell me, it seems like the core is relevant when there’s a monitor connected to the card. If not, then memory timings is the way to go, to the point of lowering core clock not having an impact on hash speed. Again this is not experience, only what i could gather.

Ill defo have more of a look i worked quick checking little ty

It is definitely affected by memory clocks.

1070 pulls a full 100h/s more than a 1080.

Anyone knows why monero is rising so strongly?

Monero has not raised any different than anything else. Electroneum is the one people are making bank on right now.

Thanks. I still don’t understand why my income has increased threefold since last night. Might be a good thing i work in a hospital instead of wall street...

The new coin is just worth more per hash

Does everyone just mine with Nicehash, I mine with the Claymore's Dual Ethereum mining program.

 

[Final_Fighter]

it seems that way. i looked at nicehash but stuck with claymore.

I just like the fact that nicehash can switch between many different coins, based on profitability.

I have mined coins straight, but when weird coins that I don't want to deal with garbage exchanges for pop up I just use nicehash. Once you pay exchange fees to trade them the fee nicehash charges is the same (roughly).

I just switched over a couple of miners to ETN. I'll keep them mining a little to store up some coins and then switch back to XMR.

As far as I can make out, there is only 1 exchange listing ETN at the moment anyway. Once it becomes a little more mainstream, it'll be easier to trade.

I also can't find any online wallets, just an offline one, but then, I've not really spend much effort searching.

I was just wondering what miner program you were using as a friend and I've changed over to Nicehash, but with 6 cards, the amount we mine isn't seeming to be very high?? Our clock speeds are tweaked and power draw so power draw is down, but we are using older drivers and I'm curious if this is having a big effect on the hash rates I'm getting....

 

[trog100]

lyra2rev2 seem to be the most profitable one that hicehash has been using over the last couple of weeks.. montero and vertcoin.. vertcoin went up by %500 over the last couple of weeks its dropped back a fair bit now..

i actually tried to buy some vertcoin but so far havnt managed to get any.. buying this sh-t aint exactly easy.. he he..

I have noticed that the DAG files have been going up, the power requirements have dropped down.. When we started the power draw was about 800w or so for 6 480 flashed to 580 cards and hashing about the 175MH mark, give or take. Now if I remember rightly, it's hashing about the 145MH but the power requirements are down to about the 750w mark. Not a massive drop but 50w saved per 24 hours helps a little bit

I'm curious if the setup is mining as efficiently as it should be?

cdawall's post makes me wonder if its just down to what I'm using or something else? How many cards do you have in your setup?

Which specific rig? I have more than one running on average 7 cards per (I had to split down my 12 card box)

My heavily mixed rig pulls 580w+350w 4 470/570/580 a 390 and a 1060. Everything else is completely pascal based.

 

[phill]

The one showing the 1070's/1080's? I was wondering if my AMD 480 flashed to 580's are running as well as they should be?? I'm only using a 1200w unit, so at the moment dual mining it's pulling about the 950w at the moment.... I've got it running 1130/2120 for core/ram settings with the core voltage down -96mV and power limit to -25% and temp limit to 62C.. My hash rates at the moment are 0.133G/4G H/s for ETH and SC.. I'm getting an average rate of 1.0mBTC a day from the 6 cards... Is this sounding about right or wrong to anyone?

I had some VTC, but sold it at $2.80 BTC equivilent. Doh! It's pretty hard to judge the highs on these things.


I did put I buy order back in at $2.20 BTC equiv, with the decline in VTC and rise in BTC, I'm actually not far from filling the order.

Cryptonight on my 1070s is strange. Core clocks are upwards of 1900mhz, tdp 50-60% (when set to 90%) and perfcap reason vrel in gpuz. The room the rig is in has been noticeably cooler with cryptonight.
