=== Just go loving run Folding@Home instead because at least you'll be doing something useful for the world with that. === PREFACE: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES INVEST ANY MONEY INTO CRYPTOCURRENCY MINING. IF YOU DO SO YOU ARE INCREDIBLY STUPID AND YOU WILL BE MOCKED RELENTLESSLY.  On scams and coinery: Cryptocurrency is peak free market internet libertarianism. Scams happen. You'll likely be hit by at least one without you even knowing it. Cash out early, cash out often. Keep as little cryptocurrency as possible. Factor in the potential of losing a week or two of mining once in a while when estimating profitability to see if it's still worth it.This is basically a negative-sum game. There's no good way to get anything out of this unless you have something like a GPU array for machine learning you didn't pay for that you're not doing machine learning on anymore. Also most of this OP is so horrible out of dated you just shouldn't pay attention to it.  that's you in the middle, dork It took us ten pages of people in the GPU thread saying "we should really start a cryptocurrency mining thread so as to not gunk up this one" to get to this point. This isn't the GBS or YOSPOS threads -- this is an offshoot of the GPU Megathread for the technical side of mining and turning your cheap socialist hydroelectricity and the hardware you already have into money that may or may not disappear into the ether once in a while. Please keep that in mind before threadshitting. Various bits of this OP were contributed by craig588, especially the Nvidia-specific deep dive parts. I've tried to keep as much of the details from his writeup intact in their original form. What is cryptocurrency? Cryptocurrency, or "magic internet money", is a type of digital-only asset brought into existence by a reusable proof-of-work scheme that uses complex cryptographic hash functions to "solve" mathematical problems. The "solution" leads to the generation of units of cryptocurrency. This is referred to as "mining." The first cryptocurrency to gain any attention and that is currently to other cryptocurrencies what the US dollar or Euro are to actual currencies is Bitcoin. Mining Bitcoin at this point is considered beyond ineffective -- the overwhelming majority of bitcoin mining power is tied up in ASIC mining farms, primarily in China. The difficulty of mining bitcoin on GPUs versus on ASICs is high enough that there is effectively no point. So, why do people use bitcoin? Bitcoin and its ilk are designed to be decentralized. This has led many people to believe it is impossible to trace transactions; in reality, it is only an added step of difficulty, but a fairly effective one. This makes bitcoin incredibly useful for illegal transactions on the darknet and money laundering, which is not why you should be reading this thread and is not something we can help you with. Most of the other reasons for it are anti-big bank, anti-government, terrible terrible speculative investment, and stockholm syndrome (to the moooooon). But this thread isn't for any of that. If that's your thing, GBS would like a word with you. Okay, so why make this thread?  ideally I could have posted a "when i'm" video here showing the price volatility and resulting suicide notes on /r/bitcoin but I couldn't find one Some of the non-bitcoin cryptocurrencies (altcoins), notably Ethereum, is still incredible viable to mine with GPUs, due to the cryptographic hash algorithms used. ASICs are fast at things like SHA-256 but bad when you need a lot of memory for something like scrypt, which GPUs can handle more effficiently. The viability of Ethereum mining is one of the main reasons that as of when I'm writing this post, the prices of RX 400/500 graphics cards are so goddamn high. People building mining rigs and mining farms (also known as people with more money than sense) are buying them up by the shopping cart load, and right now, it's starting to look like the GTX 1060 and possibly 1070 are next (as of december 2017, lol yeah this is the case). Nicehash's website has a profitability calculator. Plunk in your graphics card and your electricity cost in currency/kWh and it'll estimate an average best case scenario of how much you'll be paid for mining per day, how much it'll cost in electricity, and overall profitability. Anything much older than an R9 290 or GTX 970 is simply not effective for this. You could probably do it on a 7970 (I know there are people who do) but you're getting something in the neighbourhood of 3/4 of an R9 290 for the same wattage. Just something to keep in mind. poo poo, that's like $150 a month on my GTX 1070! IN THEORY. Consider this section the list of caveats. This is assuming that the bubble doesn't pop (which it will at some point), that you aren't paying electricity (my GTX 1070 with the power limit cranked and running at 2050 MHz is eating 170 W doing this, and generating a fair bit of waste heat), that you can sell the bitcoin you get (not really that hard, but again, bubbles), that you already have the equipment to do your mining without spending any money to start. Considering the price to actually purchase and build mining rigs, I will state this again: DO NOT INVEST MONEY IN THIS. This is something that's a neat side thing to get into if your power is cheap, you already have all the kit, and you can get rid of the heat effectively. It's also super important to not become a cryptocurrency cultist over this. It's a bubble, and if you're getting into it, you need to keep that in your mind at all times. It will pop. Don't be one of those people on /r/bitcoin who needs to be directed to the stickied list of suicide hotline numbers when the price drops $700 overnight. (No, that's not a joke, that is a real thing that happens there all the goddamn time.) I am a normal person. How do I get into this? This section was mostly written by craig588, and adapted ever so slightly to fit in by me. First things first: you need a bitcoin wallet. I use Coinbase since it's a reputable cloud bitcoin wallet provider -- just go to https://www.coinbase.com and sign up for an account. You'll get a bitcoin wallet address -- this is what you give the Nicehash miner in order to dump your bitcoin payouts into. Second, you need a miner. You used to have to know lots of technical crap, be watching markets, and carefully choose what you were going to mine. That’s changed with Nicehash, since you’re not explicitly mining anything. It acts as a broker, selling mining power to whoever bids the most, automatically switching buyers, targets, and mining algorithms when better offers come in. I’ve seen it change mining operations every couple of minutes, though for the most part it'll weigh the best offer against the efficacy of different mining algorithms for your hardware. There’s certainly someone earning more money off of it than you’re getting paid (otherwise, why would they be paying for mining time?) but the benefit of not having to know anything makes it attractive. Nicehash doesn't give you a bunch of weird altcoins, just a bitcoin equivalent payout. Third, you need time. Magic internet money is a slow going process, but after a while you'll see the results for sure. I (Kazinsal) use the GTX 1070 in my desktop to mine while I'm asleep and at work for a total of about 16-18 hours a day and that pulls in about $4.50 USD. This isn't much, but I live in British Columbia, where the hydroelectricity is incredibly inexpensive and the conversion rate between USD and CAD is "multiply by 1.35, then cry because your canadian pesos are worthless". My electricity costs per day for that mining is about $0.24 USD in comparison ($0.08 USD/kWh). I am normal and very lazy. How do I get into this?
I want to cash out my bitcoins into something I can use for weird japanese tentacle porno games. craig588 posted:Right now I’m using gyft.com to cash out to Amazon credit which for most people is as good as cash. Steam also takes bitcoins now through Bitpay. I have so much Steam wallet funds I haven’t tried purchasing anything that way yet though. In the US you can cash out using Coinbase directly. QuadrigaCX seems to be the best way to cash out into CAD in Canada. They used to be kind of sketchy but they've solidified and don't need anything weird like your passport to make the money flow, but you need to be moving decent amounts in order to make it happen fluidly. I've been into this before and want the crazy technical details. Lay it on me! This is all out of date and involves the old NiceHash Legacy miner. The new miner sucks less and is basically follow the wizard and start This section was entirely written by craig588. I'm posting it here with only grammatical fixes because he knows a lot more than I do. craig588 posted:I like to ignore Nicehash completely so I have some extra options set up, you only have to do it once and then you can forget about them though so it’s not too bad. Under Settings→Devices/Algorithms click on your GPU and it’ll give you a list of all of the miners in the box below. I have Neoscrypt(experimental) and X11Gost(ccminer_alexis) unchecked, they were unchecked by default for me, but just in case they’re turned on by default for other configurations you’ll want to check if they’re actually turning in mining results when you’re actually running the miner, for me they reported a super high earning, but weren’t actually turning in anything. Now for the magic that lets you ignore it, for all of the ccminer algorithms, add “--intensity= 17” without quotes to the extra launch parameters box. For all of the excavator algorithms add “-ct 1” to their extra launch parameters. Documentation seems bad to poor, but from what I’ve been able to discover in reading forum posts and the official documentation these are the best settings for lowering the priority of the miners low enough that you can still use your computer without significant lag. I’m able to watch videos, view web sites, play 2d games and play light 3d games with the Nicehash miners running in the background with those settings while it made my PC unusable without any extra settings. For intense 3d stuff I still need to pause it manually. If someone has any AMD cryptomining experience and wants to do a writeup, please contribute. I will happily include it in the OP.

I have a few questions my 1070 made me $45 profit last week. Overclocking the memory on it gave me a free 20% and I lowered the power target to 80%. How do i cash out with coinbase? I have been leaving on a 7970 at my office where power is paid by the building management and it makes maybe $3 a day which if i was paying for power in that city would be like a 1.70 profit. Super not worth it, dont do it I am upgrading to a 1080ti so I can game at 4k, what kind of $ can i expect at the current rates? Fauxtool fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Jun 20, 2017 |

For the 1080 Ti, Nicehash says an average of $8.80 USD/day for 24/7 mining. Subtract the cost of about 250W * 24 hours = 6 kWh of electricity for theoretical running costs (unless you crank the power limit and voltage, then throw in what your actual power usage is in place of 250W. Power usage is pretty much whatever your TDP is * your power limit percentage if you've changed it (so my GTX 1070 at 112% power limit is 150*1.12 = 168 W theoretically, and in most of the mining software it's between 160 and 168 W).

Virtually nothing if you keep track of thermals. I've run GPUs and CPUs 24/7 for months at a time doing other stuff before bitcoin mining was a thing. I lowered the overclock on my 1080 to 1974MHz to keep the temperature under 75C because the 24/7 load of mining is harder than games that tend to swing demands all over. I was barely seeing 70C at 2050MHz in games. Nvidia rates their cards for up to 91C, but they're also rating those temperatures at stock speeds so I don't feel like letting my 2050MHz 1080 see 80C. There's also people who bought used 290s after they'd been used for years for mining when people were panic selling them during one of the other bitcoin crashes and those people haven't had bad experiences. Technically I did have a fan die a couple days into starting trying out mining, but it was a fan that already failed once that I tried rebuilding 2 years ago by packing the bearings with grease to make it stop vibrating and coincidentally it died right when I tried out mining. Don't CPU mine, unless your power is free you'll only lose money. My stats: I'm making about 60 dollars a week from a 1080 and a 980 against about 17 dollars a week in power use. craig588 fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Jun 21, 2017 |

Another tip - Ether, which is the most popular crypto to mine at this time, will switch to proof of stake instead of proof of work at some point in the next year, with a planned "hybrid PoW/PoS" switch in between. So mining eth will drastically drop profitability once that happens, same as Bitcoin. What I mean is, unless you got money to burn, probably don't invest in mining rigs unless you're sure you can use the cards after the boom is over. Also most new coins are starting with a Proof of Stake model instead of mining. Turns out they've realized all this wasted lectricity might be bad for the world. Unless you believe in cryptocurrency overall and can switch to something else. Personally I'm curious about SiaCoins and I'm mining those too... Tldr: if u gonna mine, get in now bitch

One of the neat things about Nicehash is that it doesn't really tell you exactly what you're mining (but it's probably eth). Everyone could make a magical switch to some pre-switch fork of eth and Nicehash could handle that fairly gracefully in theory, since you're selling mining power and not selling etherium you're pool mining. e: Also they've been saying they're going to convert to their new proof of stake system Soon(tm) for like, two years now, and apparently other altcoin devs don't even believe it exists on paper.

With Nicehash my RX 580 mines Eth like 80% of the time but also mines Zcash sometimes, my 1070 and 1080 Ti will mine all sorts of different stuff but Zcash the most. Unlike the 1070 the 1080 Ti will never mine Eth because it's relatively better at other stuff.

in the OP it talks about making the different algorithms not max out the gpu so you can still use the computer. It covers the ccminer and excavator ones but not the DaggerHashimoto (ethminer) which is what my 1070 seems to spend the most time mining. How do i make that less system intensive?

I haven't tweaked Nicehash for my 1070 yet, that's why I do most of my mining while I'm at work or asleep. As for algos being used it seems to be about 50% DaggerHashimoto (Eth) / 49% Equishash (Zcash) / 1% other algos for me on the 1070. Haven't tried plugging my 290 in yet.

I set my (msi gaming x) 1070's power limit to 70 and temp limit to 70 because I don't want this stupid thing burning out on me buttmining. Clocked up +75 which is 25 less than what's stable for this power limit so I don't have border cases loving me over. Currently "making" .011 BTC a week.

My 1080ti apparently does around $10/day on nicehash with a super modest OC. I've got a huge aftermarket heatsink (accelero xtreme iii) coming in because I'm not happy with the load noise while gaming of the ACX cooler so maybe with that monstrosity I'll actually feel comfortable letting it mine like 18 hours a day that I'm not using it. Also I've been flipping 580s for like a week now and you would be goddamn shocked how little money you make after all those ebay/paypal/shipping fees even when you're selling $250 cards for $475. Edit: ALSO I've been running this random modified version of nicehash because it added dual mining eth+sia for nvidia cards (which isn't worth doing on my card it turns out) but it also happened to add 'ewbf' - another equihash miner - which is somehow like 15% faster than excavator on my card. Worth looking into if you're doing majority equihash on an nvidia card.

The launch parameters are super helpful. I can even still do some light gaming like darkest dungeon. I just unchecked the ethminer since the other ones are nearly as profitable and being able to use my computer is more important than a few extra cents per day

Thanks for the heads up, Fruit Chewy. Might look into that since it's possible that zcash could be more stable long-term as a mining opportunity than eth (see previously-mentioned proof of work vs proof of stake problem). Reminder to all: The Steam summer sale starts soon (rumour is the 22nd), and Steam takes magic internet money via Bitpay now, so if you're taking part in the sale you can skip the "turn it into real money" step there.

Or you can turn down the intensity of your miners and play older games while you mine, I've seen some people doing that

I play a lot of TF2, which doesn't even come close to saturating my 1060 let alone my 1080. GSync is great here. I've been replaying Witcher 3 lately, that's more intense so I use the 1080 there.

You would probably make like $3-4 a day and spend $1-2 of that in electricity. I wouldn't do that while you are running the A/C unless that room is shut off so the heat can't escape into the rest of the house. Reminder: in a datacenter you double the expected cost of power, because you need to air-condition that heat back out. Factor that into your costs if you are running A/C.

Be sure to watch what is actually reported in the pool/etc because some of the alternate miners don't actually work as well as they report they do (eg average 60m hashrate is half/less of what it says in the console). Not as much of an issue with Nicehash, but more of an issue when mining directly. I don't trust NiceHash not to let some bitlord run a trojan kernel given its access to VRAM and the terrible loving memory segmentation in VRAM world. A zero-day in the driver is serious business given the kernel-mode access that device drivers have, and you are running a program that downloads arbitrary internet programs and gives them direct access to the NVIDIA drivers.

I haven't read much into the state of memory protection on GPUs but I imagine that it's as bad as early memory protection and segmentation on microcomputers, if not worse. Though it's pretty hard to beat the 8086's "no protection, just a shift-and-add for windowing into a 20-bit address space, but we'll call it memory segmentation" scheme. Or the 286's "we took that, extended it another 4 bits, and separated user and supervisor but now you have to put the machine in a new mode that breaks compatibility with everything else oh and you can't get out of it without warm resetting the CPU have fuuuuun". (The last bit there caused Microsoft's engineers to tell IBM to make the PC/AT warm reset faster so they could use the warm reset to drop out of 16-bit protected mode back into 16-bit real-address mode by trampolining off their own code and not the BIOS.)

Consider the following: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1742287615000559 NVIDIA's drivers are a little better about not allowing super dumb poo poo but overall GPUs are designed around a "high performance computation" model. For example on non-ECC NVIDIA GPUs, hardware ties into the host in kernel mode for performance, memory is not zero'd between reallocation between programs, etc. And yes, in general it's like working on a microcontroller sometimes, boundaries and fault conditions that you expect in CPU world may or may not exist. This isn't a model built around an assumption of possible bad actors, it's close to the metal by design.

It also reminded me to make sure my important files are backed up, but for my game computers I feel alright about having to format them. The risk is that once infected a single system can spread the infection. It cryptos a share or drops another exploit on your fileserver, what now? If you're going to do that poo poo you should absolutely lock it down to a VLAN so it can't touch anything outside. Paul MaudDib fucked around with this message at 06:40 on Jun 21, 2017 |

I hope it's not smart enough and tries to throw a ransom when it finishes encrypting my 512GB SSD instead of finishing my whole 12TB NAS.

Anyone have experience with powered PCI-E risers? I'm trying to find a reputable brand as I hear that a lot of them have QC issues.

Yeah, people need to generally take the possibility of crypto-ransomware very seriously. We had a scare at work recently where a user asked me "hey this dialog looks kind of sketchy and I've never seen it before can you look at it" and my first thing was logging into the switch and removing the data VLAN from their port, even though it turned out to be nothing. The idea of CUDA or OpenCL based ransomware scares the poo poo out of me to be honest.
