Riding the Crypto wave

[trog100]

On 1070s, I found that 67% is the lowest it will go before it affects hash rate, for some reason the 1070ti, I can set it to 54% without affect.
With the lower operating temps of the 8 1070s, the fans will spin lower and should fast longer.

i would guess its because the TI comes with a higher power usage figure to start with.. the 1070 cards run nice and cool to start.. my desktop with a couple of palit 1070 card in it is running 65 C on the core with the fans at 65%... the room ambient is about 20 C.. compared to my earlier 980TI cards its an icebox

an open air rig will ether run cooler or the same but with lower fans speed.. ether way cooling isnt a problem with a 1070 unless the ambient temps are very high..

my desktop is at 75% power i dont want to lower my gaming performance too much.. he he

cough there is thread on this forum just for polaris bios's cough.

Thanks, I literally just got the card and started poking around. Why I love TPU.

Not a problem that's what it is there for.

Tomorrow I will check on the power draw of 1070 vs 1070ti at a much lower power limit. I wanted to know the power draw of the 1070ti with a lower power limit.

 

[yotano211]

@yotano211 Do you have a solid resource for the polaris bios editor? I saw the timings somewhere so I am sure I can find them again. Appears that not all versions of the editor are created equal though.

I got with the bios editor from the internet but this was almost 9-10 months ago when I last edited any bios. I searched for bios mod on youtube and started from there.

a 1070TI is very nearly a 1080 but with the same memory as a 1070.. the stock power draw will be a fair bit higher.. very nearly the same as a 1080..

which would be the best for mining taking price and everything into account i really dont know.. ??

i think the 1070ti is the most well rounded card. its got great power efficiency and can mine most any algo decently. seems the most future proof as you can throw pretty much anything at it and it does well. in comparing it against other cards i have (rx470s, 1070, 1080ti,) its my favorite card so far. other cards may excel at one or two algos, but the 1070ti wont be far behind.

definitely going to pick up a couple more.

It really depends on the coin that you're mining. The 1080 hates ETH but loves BTG.

So I tried to get a wallet setup with SIA-UI but it filled my hd up and won't stop. I thought the blockchain was only about 4GB. Thoughts?

How big is your HD

 

[moproblems99]

How big is your HD

It is about 90GB.

Another question, any idea why the blockchain driver would cause crash the system when any load is placed on the card? It loads windows just fine and I can do anything except put a load on it.

It sounds like you have allocated a portion of your HDD to the distributed cloud storage system.

That appears to be the case but I don't have a choice to not allow it. I need to see if there is documentation for opting out in the console.

maybe you need more virtual memory

I think I am just going to return the card.

There's over 1200 coins you can mine, pick one and let it ride.

When I installed the sia wallet, it was off by default. Not sure why the one you have has it on. You actually have to contract out your HDD space, it gives you an option to enter the number of sia you want per GB used.

weird, never heard of a coin that does that just for a wallet
The only coin I heard that would use a HD is burst coin, but that is to mine it, not to be used for a wallet.

It's not the wallet per se, it's what sia is. It's basically a distributed cloud storage system that you can pay for with sia coins. You have the option to create contracts leasing your HDD space for a set amount. It has pretty good potential, it really just depends on how well industry takes to it.

I just deleted all the SIA files and directories and started over. Seems to be ok now.

I have another 580 coming tomorrow to see if I have any better results.

WTH is going on with the prices right now? They are going through the roof!

I've sold about $700 worth of coins over the past month to upgrade various rigs and up my hash rate. I wish I'd have waited until now as that $700 would be worth $1200 today!

 

[Christianespinosaair]

Can you offer some more options?

700 worth of litecoin owned a month ago would now be worth 2800

there is a message here.. never sell your stash to get dollars .. if desperate for money borrow some but never sell your stash.. become a f-cking hodler..

over the last month i have spent 3 grand buying litecoin.. its now worth 8 grand.. a nice five grand profit over the last couple of weeks..

this sh-t compounds as well.. if my current 8K does the same as my 3k has done over the last week and goes up by %150 i might have 20K my next week..

take this sh-t forwards and even a small amount is worth hanging on to..

purely my own thinking but i recon eth and ltc are gonna go up massively.. along with a few other altcoins.. others will just wither and die.. bitoin will just slow down..

i needed to replace my .3 of a bitcoin stash i lost to nicehash getting hacked.. i chose litecoin.. it was the right choice.. buying back my .3 bitcoin would have made me f-ck all.. its just going sideways at the moment..

for what its worth my little stash has gone up by 2K in US dollar terms overnight..

Borrowing is the worst thing any can do. That is some of the worst advice in the world.

i would normally agree but maybe not in this particular situation which aint exactly normal.. he he

plus of course the world currently lives on borrowed money.. i am lucky in the sense i dont have to.. but if push comes to shove i would sooner borrow than eat my seed corn.. currently my crytpo stash being my seed corn

i do plan (with a bit of luck) on being a crypto millonaire by this time next year.. he he..
