Riding the Crypto wave

[aGeoM]

All my system is a BETA stage, Beta Crosshair VI BIOS (1501), Beta MS WIN10 OS (1703-16251), BETA AMD drivers, Modded sound drivers (Test Mode) no problem with it.
RX580 have custom bios and RX560 not (both are cross flashed from RX480 and RX460) so there is no need for patcher, but... I'm using it because I have OCed my LED TV/Monitor to have Freesync and 75Hz support (CRU 1.3).

My thinking is simple if something improve what I already have (hasrates, cpu/gpu performance, new functionality, ...) then I just use it.

But that it is me...

Is that 30/13 mh/s for those cards?

Is that 30/13 mh/s for those cards?

Is more like 12.2/31.3 Mh/s. RX560 stock BIOS @1326/2000, 1.100V; RX580 @1250/2200, 1.100V. Ambient Temp 33ºC ATM (1:15AM)

 

[cdawall]

What BIOS on the 580? Those are decent numbers out of it.

 

[aGeoM]

It's based on MSI Gaming+ BIOSa with a mix of Gigabyte / XFX and ASUS (Tables) plus UberMix Timings.

Considering that this numbers are achieved with GPU Throttling yes, they are, but normal GPU temps (less than 80ºC) are about 32/33 Mh/s.

Bitcoin Mania Setting Up for Greatest Financial Crash in 400 Years

Reviewing that update of the great flameout of bitcoin, the DSE identified that spike into the upper $2,000s as the likely last gasps of wave 3. The second chart in that forecast zooms in on the first one, and details how a then-hallucinated decline should next hold the $1,750 +/- $150 zone, prior to the final rise into "perhaps the mid-to high $3,000s." Please take the time to read that forecast to alleviate any doubt that the DSE's forecasting engine is just ahead of this uber-emotional market.

Who really knows? They did pretty much nail a forecast of the "second wave":

The primary difference is I don't think tulips ever had a snowballs chance in hell of supplanting existing world currency and financial systems. Bitcoin does.

Ah, they sure thought so at the time. tulips were better than money itself.

Try dropping a frog into a boiling pot of water, it'll try to jump out. Put a frog in a cool pot of water and bring it to a boil, it'll stay there till it dies ... or so I've been told, I'd never do that to a frog

Good thing I'm neither invested in crypto nor boiling water.

If you see some stuff saying rejected on the nicehash stats page, does that mean your card is unstable?

Some rejects are normal, if you have a high percentage it can indicate instability.

Back in my day, above around 3% rejects was considered abnormal.

I have around 1% rejected on all my cards, mining zcash or ethereum. Seems normal as R-T-B said.

A general question: does anyone here use a westmere xeon (a 4,0 ghz X5650 to be exact) to mine using nicehash? When i mine CryptoNight, the miner never load more than 42-43% of the CPU, netting me around 220 H/s. Does anyone know how to use all 12 threads my cpu can provide?

 

[hat]

In an older version of nicehash, you could go to the mining devices tab or whatever and under CPU, select CryptoNight and on the right there would be a "LessThreads" setting that would affect that. In your case, if the value was set to 6, it would only use half your CPU. The setting of 6 subtracts 6 threads from your total of 12. In the latest version these options are no longer available and you have to manually edit the .json config files...

I'll look into it when i come home later...

High memory overclock equals memory corruption equals rejects.

So I started mining ethereum back in June, and I'm just curious what all your guys' hashrate are for it? I have 4 r9 290s and a 290x and I'm currently getting about 143mh/s. Wondering if I should be trying to expand my setup? I can get an t9 290 on Craigslist for 125 USD, and I was thinking about trying to do that, or if I should try and sell my miner while ethereum is going back up in price?

7x1060's dual mine 22mh/s ethereum/220mh/s lbry each

4x1070 dual mine 29mh/s and I forget what they get in lbry each

What's lbry? I use claymore and it only mines ethereum

Claymore mines more than just ethereum lol

Seems like the option is still there just well hidden.

HUGE thanks to you, found the "less thread" settings and yes i was running 5 threads instead of 12! When set to 0 the cpu load goes to 100%.

How do I get it to? Mine says on startup ethereum only.

Also is cpu mining currencies worth doing these days?

There's not a whole lot of cash to mine, but i make around twice what it consumes. I would not recommend buying gear just to mine cryptonight, but hey i had the 6c/12t cpu before i started to mine (was my main rig) so why not?

For dual-mining be sure to Check all boxes when you bench your hardware the first time. Takes more time, but since i did it nicehash never mined ethereum alone, always dagger/decred for a little more profit.

Yeah... even overclocked AMD Ryzen 8 cores only make like a dollar per day.

4x1070 dual mine 29mh/s and I forget what they get in lbry each

the 1060s will do 22mh/s but with a heavy memory overclock, i wouldnt do more than 400mhz overclock on the memory. I overclocked by 1060s in the beginning to 600mhz and the memory are slowly degrading. Now they are to the point of being RMA'ed. I just lost 6 1060s from 2 mining rigs, those 6 are only stable at stock speeds.
