I bet you it’s just your pagefile Yep. That’s it. Only got 4GB in this shitbox. I’ll get more. Ive read you can only jack the page file 4x higher than RAM you physically have, so that would definitely be the issue.

QuarkJets posted:Wasn't Canada one of those countries where people can't withdraw from Coinbase? Or was that Australia? You can't withdraw Actual Money. The internal nicehash to coinbase transfer is just the fastest way to get the money off the nicehash servers, because you have to mine at least 10 times as much to pay out to an external wallet. Then you can send your bitcoins from coinbase to another bitcoin address without telling them you are a dirty canadian. Coinbase doesn't say a peep when I send my bitcoins to coincards.ca

I have 2 GPUs and the automatically managed page file floats around 4GB, would there be a benefit to me manually increasing it?

tehinternet posted:So I took NeoScrypt off of the algorithms list on NiceHash because it was making a couple cards crash randomly (out of memory somehow). I’ve gotta get that fixed because that explains the discrepancy with what I’m seeing in the thread. Are you running the legacy client? That's what gets me the highest rates by far due to the nist5 algorithm that doesn't exist on the 2.0 client.

Rabid Snake posted:If using Nicehash, do you report this on taxes, even if you don't sell the bitcoin? The IRS has made it clear that they expect you to report any receipt of virtual currency as income based on it's value in USD at time you receive it. If you later cash out into USD then you can adjust up or down based on the value at the point in time you cash out. If you're mining coins directly then you technically should track every payout you receive from a pool as income based on the coin's USD value at that point in time. If you're mining indirectly (Nicehash/Winminer) then you should count every payout from them when you receive it. I doubt the IRS is ever going to go after small timers only using a couple of cards on Nicehash but I wouldn't be surprised to see them trying to figure out how to identify who owns large mining operations and auditing them.

If anyone was interested, WinMiner just added BitcoinCash as a withdrawal option, which is accepted at Coinbase. I assume there's little to no fee on top of their base 3% I'm sticking with the Amazon cards myself, it's 5% total fees, can't go wrong with those.

For the get-paid-to sites I use with cell phones and VMs I need to include a 1099-MISC for taxes for each even if they didn't request a W9 from me (some do, some don't). I'm not sure if buttcoins are any different. Gift cards/winnings count as income so I'd imagine it's similar, although if you could claim capital gains or losses there may be a different form. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1099msc.pdf

Keeping my 1080 running today inspired me to start up my 980 again. 1080 back up to 6 dollars and the 980 back up to 3. Maybe yesterday was just a temporary lull. Ah well, I'm not invested so I don't need to worry about dead cats or anything, keep paying me that almost 10 dollars and I'll leave my computers on. I dump all of my finances stuff on an accountant because I have a complicated income from like 5 different sources along with employees. I wish I could offer advice, but I really have no idea and just have to assume my accountant isn't screwing me. craig588 fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Jan 13, 2018 |

Like Krailor said, you're supposed to report the value of the cryptocurrency whenever you receive some. This means mining a block, getting paid by a mining pool, or getting paid by nicehash. If you're mining yourself you definitely need to report that income

Brain Issues posted:What settings do you use? Like algos are you auto-switching with and which software do you use? I couldn't get MPM to work and NemosMiner works but the profitability stats from MPH lag by like 30 mins so I don't really get the benefit of autoswitching because by the time it switches that coin isn't actually the most profitable anymore. I learned the hard way that MPH isn't so great to constantly switch, it is a PPLNS pool. Which means if you don't sit and finish out until a block is discovered by the pool, you lose shares by switching. Basically the best way is to sit on the auto coin (by algo) port, which doesn't even need MPM. I read that the makers of MPM are thinking about adding a feature for MPH where it only switches algos upon block completion, which would be nice. Right now I just use MPM with Nicehash and up-to-date mining software that runs faster than the official software does. The nice thing about Nicehash is you get paid immediately per share, no penalty for aggressively switching. Also my Radeon 7870 Tahiti is running at 97*C ever since I upgraded to the Blockchain drivers. Probably fine. ..at least it raised my Eth2gb rate from 13 to 16mh/s

Yeah I did the autoswitching on MPH for like 3 days before I realized it isn't helping anything. Now I just switch to mine whichever currency has stayed in the top 5 for 24hours+. I've been on zclassic for like a week and half or so. I still like MPH because the fees are low and I can autoexchange for ETH and send it directly to my Gemini account to cash out with very low fees. In total I pay 3.65% fees for Dev fee, pool fee, autoexchange fee, and final fee to sell eth to usd which isn't bad. Also, I don't trust nicehash.

You can get MPH to autoswitch for you with their very poorly documented hub feature, I think. As far as I can tell you just set up a .bat with a loop of a bunch of miner commandlines all set to not retry on network failure and then when the hub decides it's time to switch algorithm, it closes the connection, the miner you have runner exits and goes on to the next algorithm in the list. I think? Should theoretically be better than client-side profitability detection, I guess, but you won't get any readouts on profitability at all.

I don't know if there's an option like it for AMD, but I thoroughly enjoy Nvida's temperature throttling. Slows the card down as the heatsink gets more clogged with dust and never lets temperatures get over whatever you want. In my case it's 74C, clean my 1080 will do 2050 and 56C, dusty it slows down to 1850 to maintain sub 74C temps. No runaway to 90C as it holds 2050 full of dust or needing to watch it super carefully in case it might get hot.

Spatial posted:Constant high temperature operation significantly reduces expected hardware lifetime If you're running modern cards at "high temperature" while mining, you're Doing It Wrong. Which isn't to say it doesn't happen with idiots who try to shove 4 cards into a tiny case with no ventilation, but generally mining isn't going to be pegging your cards in the 80-90C range.

Spatial posted:Constant high temperature operation significantly reduces expected hardware lifetime I got the card over 5 years ago, it has always ran very hot (poor cooler and is essentially a 7950 on power usage since it is a Tahiti core, it's not a 7870 Pitcairn). Last month, before I ever mined at all with it, I started getting artifacts in a couple games. At this point I don't care if it dies mining. I agree 97C is way too hot. Anyway I took it apart, cleaned it and replaced the old thermal goo with AS5. Lowered the temps about 8C doing that. Never knew the stock heatsink was so easy to remove or I would have gone that a long time ago. I also disabled the Dual Eth/Lbry algo which was the most intensive, and now run Equihash which is around 78C. Getting 180sols/s which is about $70-80/month profit, not bad considering I paid $180 for the card in 2012. Alpha Mayo fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Jan 14, 2018 |

Looks like Nicehash raised the free withdrawal to 0.002. Not surprising or a high limit but just some thread FYI. Effectively doubles my Nicehash to Coinbase withdrawal frequency due to when Nicehash deposits are made and so forth.

Craptacular! posted:Does this mean the end of the Wallet Dance? Not really. The minimum amount you can withdraw to an external wallet is still ~$135 with a 5% fee tacked on, and has been that way for a bit. The bigger issue is when you get paid by Nicehash in the first place: if you get paid to their internal wallet, you get paid every ~$13. If you're trying to get paid to an external wallet, you get paid every ~$1350, or every ~$135 "as conditions allow," aka "whenever the gently caress we feel like it." So unless you've got a serious mining operation going that can expect to hit that $1350 mark in a reasonable amount of time, the sane bet for now is to still mine to an internal Nicehash wallet and then sweep it out to Coinbase every ~$27, and from there either move it to an external wallet or convert it to USD. It basically changes nothing. They're just saying that the "whenever the gently caress we feel like it" happens to be today. When the next iteration of it will be is entirely unknown, but if it's taken them this long after re-launch to get here, my expectation would be that it'll be a good while again.

Ish. There are other options you should at least consider, though. DrDork posted:Winminer is the easiest way to get USD, as it spits it out directly to PayPal or Amazon giftcards. It does take a substantial cut for this convenience, though. Their website has basic performance tracking and monitoring. This is overall the easiest but least profitable option.

El Grillo posted:As well as enabling Nist5, should I enable the 'NVidia P0 State' option in settings? At current there is no known way to force P0 on Pascal (10xx series) cards. Might help if you're running Maxwell (9xx), but I don't have one to test with. One thing that can help is enabling only the ccminer-alexa version of Nist5. That version typically runs somewhat faster on Pascal than the generic ccminer. I went from ~134 MH/s to ~145MH/s on a 1080+1080Ti by making that switch.

You can force Cuda P0 on Pascal with nVidia Profile Inspector (disable Force Cuda P2 State with it). ccminer-Alexa is fastest Nist5 I think, and cc-Klaust is fastest Neoscrypt for me. Also BMiner is fastest equihash for nvidia now, I am getting 340sol/s on an overclocked Hynix GTX 1060 6GB. Nist5, Neoscrypt, Equihash and Sib (aka X11-Gost) are the most profitable nVidia algorithms for Pascal. If you have Samsung memory, Eth is good too. It's worth it to set up MPM to work with Nicehash, Excavator sucks with a few algos. If you know any Powerscript it is really easy to modify the .PS1 files to adjust intensity too. Also this is the worst, most shameful post I have ever made.
