The lower voltage means lower max watts on a single circuit, but as long as your not using some bestial 1000+ watt power supply you'll be fine.

I’ve been mining vertcoin for a couple days but haven’t gotten near the $3.00 daily that what to mine says I should be getting. Are there better pools or better programs beyond the one-click miner VC uses?

Use your glorious nippon electricity to scam weeaboos. You could likely seriously convince the overlap between butters and weebs that Japanese bitcoin is inherently better.

Fortunately OCM can also use normal pools. I use the Easymine pool. To set it up click the add pool in lower right and put in: stratum+tcp://lyra2.easymine.online:5000 for the pool address, put in x for the password, and add in your wallet address like normal. Also OCM has a 1% donation rate to its creaters set by default so make sure you set that to 0 in settings menu.

Zero VGS posted:Yes, if you were actually going to plug in an electric space heater, running a rig you were going to have anyways is still profitable. This could change at any moment, of course. If your house uses something more effective for heating, like natural gas or an electric heat pump, those would probably break even with electrical resistance-based heat and your rationalization falls apart. Neat, I'll see about how this all works with my laptop. I'll see how it works when I'm at the office since I'll have effectively free power to see how easy this is. I'm sure it won't make any money as cpu mining is trash, but it won't cost me anything and it'll be an interesting experiment to see how well it works. If it seems to have a low impact on performance because it properly scales down its utilization when the computer is in use and is easy to setup and run I might give it a shot when I do upgrade my home pc in a week or so.

If you're a small-fish miner, in most cases you should be appending /0 to your wallet address. This will reduce the difficulty, which has the end effect of increasing accepted shares and upping your payouts. Also don't mine to like 10 different pools at the same time, since it'll just mean you're not earning shares efficiently anywhere. OCM is a fairly solid program in and of itself--basically any issues you'll have with payouts and profitability is going to be a problem with the pool.

Also don't mine to like 10 different pools at the same time, since it'll just mean you're not earning shares efficiently anywhere. From my understanding, the difficulty you specify (including with a "d=xyz" password) is just a hint and the stratum will adapt to the shares you actually push out. If you have multiple machines going it would behoove you to run a stratum-proxy for things you are mining on a lot.

Yeah, I'll admit to not being 100% sure how the whole difficulty bits actually work at a low level. I do know that, as a small-fish miner myself (a single 1080), I went from having multiple days without payouts to getting fairly stable payouts by using the /0 flag. But yeah, if you're a serious miner running your own pool/proxy makes a lot of sense.

As a very small-fish miner (26MH/s) where do I add this /0 to my wallet address? At the end of the string of wallet characters? I'm using One Click Miner in the Easy Mine pool.

Yes. So when you open OCM and do Search for Pools or whatever it's called to add a new pool, you put in your wallet address to get paid with a /0 on the end. So it'll be something like VhoawhljhDWHLJAljhdaljhwodhiao/0 Presumably you can use other numbers to tune the difficulty, but I haven't bothered to look into that much.

I mine ZEC with my nvidia cards using nanopool, much more reliable than VTC and praying for correct payouts.

PSU's are less efficient with lower AC input voltages. Going from 120 to 220/240 can reduce PSU waste by something like 5%. Probably won't matter too much for an individual miner or a handful of systems but it adds up at the server room/data center scale.

BTW, I have a PC that disconnecting from WinMiner, where it's still mining but doesn't show on the site, I seem to have figure out a workaround where I open Task Scheduler in Windows and tell it to launch a reboot.bat file on Login. The bat file contains "reboot -r -t 3600", which reboots once per hour and seems to keep things going while I'm at work.

This isn't a fix, but you can have task scheduler reboot instead of launching a .bat file. Something feels weird about doing it in 2 steps.

I'm confused about the proof of stake system. How does the system determine if a block a validator bet on is accurate or not? And won't it result in just a handful of people have complete power over the network?

So Awesome Miner + MiningPoolHub seems to be pretty drat good for me. Mostly mining Lyra2re2 and Monero (via XMRIG). Seem to be averaging about $10 CAD / day which is pretty hot poo poo. Awesome Miner is a bitch to setup mostly because it's UI is completely garbage.

I have a different set of goals for my mini mining rig... I want to heat my house. Basically my house has poo poo heating and I currently use my tumble dryer in conjunction with some oil filled radiators to heat it. I am thinking my lovely PC my son uses for youtube could get a GPU upgrade to make it a miner and heat the upstairs of my digs. Its main requirement would be to payback the price of electricity which here in the UK is high. Any ideas on the card I should go for? It obviously doesn't need to be amazing buy HOT = GOOD.

I was thinking of doing something like creating an old school bitcoin faucet site that looks like it has been chilling in some corner of the internet since 2012 unnoticed, which pays out like $100 per user in coins every 24 hours. After nerds notice it's fully functional & it goes viral, I would add a captcha that uses characters from the Voynich Manuscript. Then I'd harvest an image of the captcha presented to the user, as well as the response given. The final version of the site would just be a transcript of these attempts to approximate Voynich in QWERTY.
