Don't use Minergate, there has been many reports saying it's inefficient, it mines scam shitcoins (bytecoin, dashcoin, etc.) and is linked to the creators of said scam shitcoins with name of similar, more respectable coins (lol).

What miner/algorithm/coin are you getting those numbers on? From my experience whattomine.com is pretty much dead-on with my power and hashrate, whereas things like the "nicehash profit calculator" can be like 30% or more above what I'm seeing. Even if some of you are talking about Canadian Funbux, the numbers are high enough that I'm wondering if they're fudging them a little

At the very least winminer is perfectly comparable to what my nicehash miners were yesterday , and the payout limits are WAY better and can go directly to paypal from them.

The payout options are great enough for me as well that I wont go back to Nicehash for this reason alone if Nicehash comes back up, all things equal anyway. $20 payout limits to Paypal (direct!), $10 limit to Bitcoin wallets and so forth. Their service fees for mining is comparable (3%). Only thing I dont know is transfer fees on my end to cash out, I cant see that without having enough to do so. All in all, if it doesnt crash all the time and mines up to date algorithms I'm happy with this.

Scarecow posted:does someone mind doing a run down on how to setup winminer to do something thats more then $2 a day on a 1080ti? (1) Disable your anti-virus for a few minutes / know how to add exceptions for everything (2) Install Winminer (3) If you want, grab the .7z from the last page and throw the contents into /AppData/Local/Winminer/Miners (4) Click on Settings and uncheck "Express benchmark" the first time you run it (5) Click run (6) Hope for the best That's about it. The $15+ things were more or less just flashes in the night from people who happened to be well-positioned to take up the slack when NiceHash poo poo itself. They're gone now, and everyone's back down to more or less whatever they were before. That said, VTC one-click is pretty easy to set up (other than waiting for a good while for the wallet to sync if you're setting a new one up) and seems to be paying out solidly more than Winminer for NVidia cards.

I guess it's a neutral thing I didn't wear my card's fans for weeks running Nicehash since the temperatures FINALLY went down around here. I'll wait again until you nice people can write a guide similar to the OP on what a lazy person with a single GPU should do.

After I see peoples results after a week (And it's not something like 10 dollars a week) I'll try it myself for a week and based on my experiences I'll try to come up with a new lazy guide. I'm lazy about doing computer stuff but I can make thousands of words a day. I want people using the hardware they already have to make them money. I think even though the people who spent under 100 dollars lucked out and mining kept working long enough to earn a return I think spending any money is wrong, just use the hardware you already have and then when the bitcoin services inevitably blow up you're only out power for that week and your hardware is just the hardware you would have anyways. Hopefully you were able to get at least a week of earning from it so it can be a net neutral when that scam week comes. I think I'm going to add a section about how the service WILL scam you, but as long as you're prepared for that it's not the end of the world.

The 3% shave is worth the time spent to do those other things. As few steps between warm computer and burrito tummy is desirable. Giving VTC One Click a shot while I wait for WinMiner so I can hopefully get a burrito out of it today.

Luckily winminer seems literally easier than Nicehash... lets just hope they can scale under the new workload. Also their "Live" stats page is about 10000 cooler and nicer than anything Nicehash showed you, and their payout methods are MUCH better with dollar payout limits rather than BTC. As per their FAQ, you should be paid in BTC as well, so your balance should rise with the market. But my glowing endorsement wont last if they cant get their network solid

Network power is bouncing around like crazy between VTC, Mona, Electroneum, and to a lesser extent SIB. I'm seeing like 50-70% changes in profitability in a matter of a few hours as the difficulty tries to track. I think people are getting their miners back online though because the overall trend is down vs yesterday. edit: graphs

I tried to setup Winminer last night before bed. Turned off express benchmarking. Did the initial request of starting as admin and restarting PC. Put it to manual so I could just turn it on and leave it, but it didn't seem to do much by the time I woke up. It doesn't mine consistently, only did 35 cents.

Yea WinMiner is pretty fucky so far, hope they scale up. So far it's only mining ZEN and UBQ, are those really the most profit? I let the non-express benchmarks run and that's what it settled on. Is there a way to force it to do Lyra-based stuff? I can select specific coins but not specific algos, and I don't see any Lyra coins like Monacoin. Also I don't know if this miner is trying very hard, NiceHash had me pegged at 400 watts from the wall while this is 230-270 watts.

Pugzilla posted:Nice. Very enterprising. What are you doing to keep that from overheating? I've been thinking about building something similar, but not sure if the cost of electricity can keep pace with the coins generated. Then again, BC has gone waaaaaaaaay up since Monday. Undervolted to 1.05v, they sit in the 50s at half fan speed. Not really that loud either, surprisingly. You could make money, you might not also. If you want to join the burn your house down crew look into electrical safety and don't overload the ampere ratings of PSU cabling. Powered risers could draw their max 75w or overdraw, so you need to use cabling that can handle the load. Some lower wattage PSUs have 20AWG wiring for peripheral wires, which is commonly used to power risers and could overheat because they can't handle the 75w load. 20AWG is bad news bears, tread *extremely* carefully with such wiring and only power a single item per cable and monitor the draw every so often. *Ideally* you should only power one thing per cable to stay well within specs, but in the case of say a PCIE 2x8 cable you could power two cards, or two risers, whatever. They should be rated for the draw so that could work, but 1 per line is best if you can swing it. *Don't zip tie your cables* use velcro straps instead so as not to compress the insulation. Once it's up and running at full bore for a couple hours, physically feel every connector. If they are warm that's ok, if they are too hot to touch something is very, very wrong. In that case you need to use a multimeter to measure the draw and determine wtf is going on and should not leave that card running at all unattended. Basically buy 008S risers and use PCIE>molex>>>>>>sata in that order, in fact don't use sata if you can help it. Extension cables? Probably bad news, you could use them safely, but it is better you don't try so as to not burn your poo poo down. e: 20AWG safety, be safe goons Risky Bisquick fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Dec 7, 2017 |

Yeah its not giving anything out anymore for VTC since yesterday. I've been seeing wildly inconsistent mining in general with winminer and several overt network communication errors. That combined with their tweet about scaling up due to overwhelming demand might explain the downtime. I hope they get it together (or are even able to) because so far theyre the best alternative I've seen yet.

Now I'm home from work and the balance is 99 cents instead of 35 cents from the overnight mining. It says it's running now mining Zen for $2.35/day on my 1070 and Sumo on my i5-4670k at $0.28/day. Don't think it's running consistently though. Also getting the same error a ton from EthDcrMiner64.exe because OpenCL.dll isn't found. The error popped up just now and WinMiner says it's benchmarking again and the 1070 just says Mining PIRL (Starting miner) then goes Idle and then gives the error again. It's also 12 degrees here in MN and this thing isn't warming my apartment enough!
