Official Mining Thread

I got a nicehash payout yesterday. I have $13.67 in unpaid balances to AHashPool and Zergpool.

[KAC]

I have about $22/30 in Zergpool and I heard the gay keeps on increasing the minimums for payouts. I think I will just run Nicehash through Awesome Miner and cut this mining pool crap until I find a permanent fix to Nicehash problems I am facing.

[Riptide]

Dropping like a rock boys.

Who has the stones to stick it out? And who is gonna run skerd and sell off now?

[KAC]

So I came home. Slapped a new riser, moved the card around, turned off virus protection and reinstalled drivers. It is working now and let's see if Nicehash holds up.

[curio]

I'm not running an antivirus on mine, just Windows defender

[andino]

$2.60 per today.

[KAC]

How much BTC per day you gays making?

[Seyiji]

About a dollar twenty five pal. Now do you want the money or should I just shove the bitcoins up your big fat ass.

[KAC]

Started running awesome miner with miningpoolhub and 3 others selected. Let’s see if this crap makes me more money or not!

[KAC]

Man this whole mining has gone to crap lol.

[curio]

It's not that far off from where I assumed; it's just on the low range of my initial assumptions. I'm still on track towards getting back my money by next year.

And so far I've been quite pleased with how stable my rig has been; knock on wood

[KAC]

Yeah mine is also fine with Awesome Miner. Running Miningpoolhub, Nicehash, zergpool and Ahashpool. Going to be running this for the coming week to see if I make about 20 a day or not.

Going to be turning off zergpool after I get my first payout as many people have issues with it.

[Riptide]

You guys, being on the safer route, may do better than me. Since I'm mining and holding LUX directly the risk is higher vs. mining with Nicehack and converting to BTC. LUX right now is not doing well and if market cap falls to where it started or lower it may be months of wasted time and electricity. If it recovers though it may have been a good move. Bit of a gamble.

This rig has been one of the more fun computers I've put together and also has been pretty stable. Only issues have been when I messed with it by switching clients or tweaking overclocks. Once it runs stable it runs and runs unless I mess with it.

[KAC]

Btw, is this a joke? Nicehash has been telling me I can make about 18 bucks a day on my rig below. Since I added MiningPoolHub to the mix, now Awesome Miner is saying I can do 25 bucks a day with the cards in the mining rig. I don't mind but I also don't know how much fees I am looking at for doing this crap. As I am still trying to figure out MiningPoolHub.

Btw Zergpool still hasn't paid up and I have mined about 3 days worth of coin on it. Similar with AHashPool.

[Riptide]

BTC selloff continuing heading down to under 7000 today maybe.

Used rigs and GPUs are starting to hit the market from what I've heard. People starting to sell and get out. I can't wait the more that leave the better for me.

[KAC]

Agreed I have been waiting for sell off for ages (past 2 months).

[curio]

Seems to be really down now; this is the least I've ever made

[KAC]

14 bucks with 9 cards.

[KAC]

Finally got paid with Zergpool. Still no payment using Awesome Miner with Nicehash and AHashPool. Mining hub pays out every 12 hours so that is good. After my next Zergpool payment I am going to turn that off just like I turned off AHashPool. At least I will only lose 10 bucks with AHashPool.

Doing about 20 a day so not all is bad. I have heard Miningpoolhub can do even higher. Haven’t had a chance to set it up properly.

1080ti s starting to show up on ebay for ~750. I'm not mining, but a 1070 or 1080ti at the right price would be nice.

It's cute when you guys troll in threads like this as if you know anything.

[Seyiji]

At least it's on topic.

I dont mind the humor and news stories.

[KAC]

It gets a bit tiring though. Btw, NiceHash is not the best for mining. I believe the input provided by andino is the best solution. Right now, I am mining NiceHash and ZergPool through Awesome Miner. Additionally, I have also started mining on MiningPoolHub which is the best as it auto converts coin to BTC and also pays out every 12 hours.

I am making about 22 a day w/ rig at the bottom. NiceHash would have done only 14-16 a day.

Btw made my first 1000 bucks even given a rate of 8500/BTC.

So did you end up using your regular BTC address for the payouts or the Nicehash BTC address?

[KAC]

I am using Nicehash address as my regular BTC address changes for every transaction. Minigpoolhub keeps my cash in its own wallet though.

Going to try this for a day or so and see what happenes.

BTW, $3.02 per 1080ti per day.

Doesn't work for me.

[andino]

Doesn't work for me.

Yeah. I tried it. Just spit out errors.

[curio]

Finally got all 8 cards mining and stable; damn that 8th card was tricky

The M.2 to PCI-E adapter just didn't work so I got this instead and it's working great now; I have 2 cards plugged into it on the first x16 slot.

[curio]

**** yeah

[KAC]

Gay. What software did you settle with then? Also, is Nicehash acting up after extended use (as in not running for a while like 2-4 minutes to switch algos etc?).

Also how much you making a day? Mine changes from 18-23 in a day using Awesome Miner.

[Riptide]

Yah thats pretty good I am assuming you are running the cards at 100% or higher TDP? 6174 sol/s is quick for 8 1080ti.

Been lucky with my motherboard and the m.2 riser so far. If it had given me grief one of those mintcell cards was on the shopping list.

[curio]

Yeah I'm still using Nicehash; it's running very stable now. I'm switching between 4 algorithms and it seems to switch every 5 minutes or so on me. As long as the shares get accepted I don't really care how often it switches.

120% power, +100 core, +475 memory; getting about .0020-.0026 BTC/day average right now. One of the benefits of watercooled, I can push it - highest core temp is only getting to 52c on warm days - but on average all cards stay around 40-45c

I'm a tad concerned about pushing the VRMs on these since they're not on the waterblock, but I think the heatsink and fan design should be good enough to keep them lasting. The external fan I have blowing on the cards helps a lot, the backplates don't get that hot.

[curio]

Here's the Mintcell adapter:



And the rig in its final form; finally:

[Riptide]

Looks great.

[KAC]

[Jay20016]

That honeywell fan is the true MVP of the setup.

[KAC]

curio, can you please post the last 24 hours graph from nicehash.com website. I want to see how often algo switching is happening for you and also how low does your profitability drop.

I am also surprised to hear that you are earning even close to 0.0026 BTC / day as I haven't seen those kind of returns for about 2 weeks or more.

Tell me how you doing it!!!

[curio]

That honeywell fan is the true MVP of the setup.

All three of them are
