ASUS VEGA 64 STRIX: $875 Hey guys I have a VEGA 64 for sale. Not sure if there's any interest considering the market but I thought I'll throw it up for sale anyways. This card is brand new sealed / unused / untouched etc. I bought it to build a modest livingroom mining rig to replace a 1500w...

Would Dell's Alienware Area-51 with 2 1080 ti graphics card be a good system for mining?

This is my first time mining so I thought it's best to begin learning small before building a full 7gpu rig. I started with putting two rx570 cards directly into my old pc's pcie-16 ports without any riser. I bios modded them and overclocked both and got pretty decent speeds. When I run the...

It seems like yesterday, but it's been 9 years ago today since that first bitcoin block was mined. It paid out a whopping 50 BTC compared to today's 12.5 BTC payout per block. That 50 BTC is worth over $700K right now and would be a nice little nest egg if you mined it and held. Happy...

Recently started mining and by recently I mean last night. Most of my rigs are ITX so all are single GPU setups; 2x270x, and a 380. Currently mining monero with claymore and getting 420-450H/s on the 270xs and 455-550H/s on the 380. I am using nicehash for CPU mining on two of the three...

Hello guys! I just bought a Msi Amd Radeon RX570 Armor 4GB to start mining some monero. I've only reached hashrates up to 560 H/s regardless of which os(ubuntu/windows) or mining software(xmr-stack/claymore) I've used. When I checked the monerobenchmark site everyone with RX570 cards had...

WTB: - Xbox One (prefer the S model, more storage is better, don't need the X, and I can get by on 500gb, so send me offers on that if that's all you have) - I bought an Xbox One from another forum, but the blu ray drive wouldn't work. I think that's due to the console just being thrown into a...

Hi there, I've just signed up to the forum, so a new figure around here. The past few days I've been researching about the profitability of mining bitcoins, bitcoin cash, ethereum and peercoins. Several mining calculators and platforms like whattomine.com seem to show more or less the same...

If you have a couple of hours to spend the guys a BBT run the new TITAN V against a dual GTX 1080 Ti setup configured for mining and even plays a little PUBG on it. Overclocked they got it to 77MH/s with a wattage load at the wall of 237w. Check out the video. The testbench for todays...

I am just starting out in the fascinating realm of cryptocurrencies. I am tired of hindsight 20/20 kicking my ass and wishing I did something different. I will never claim to know more than I do, I am here to learn the most I can about this industry and how I can be an elite player in this...

I am looking at asus b250 expert mining motherboard and wondering whether Linux will be able to support 19 GPUs of the same brand on this motherboard Although it has been in stock for a while, it does not seem that anyone has really tested it with so many GPUs I guess there is no point to test...

Some private torrent sites are giving their users the option to use a cryptocurrency miner in exchange for upload credit. This comes after last month when it was found that popular torrent site The Pirate Bay was using a hidden cryptocurrency miner. The implementation on the private sites has...

Legit Reviews got their hands dirty this weekend with tweaking an RX Vega 64 LIquid and Claymore's Dual Ethereum Miner. To push the 44MH/s you still need a lot of power with these Vega cards. However you can tweak a bit and get the power way down while not giving up as many hashes as you might...

Hi there, I am rather new to the world of Altcoins, so excuse me if some of my questions are stupid. I have four graphic cards lying around: - HD7970, 3GB - r9 280x, 3GB - GTX 670, 2GB - GTX 690, 4GB I also already got Mainboard, CPU, Ram and PSU, so other than electricity bill no additional...

It appears the Ethereum gold rush may be coming to and end. As the price skyrocketed from $8.22 at the end of 2016, to it's peak of over $380 in June many people started investing in mining rigs. While Ethereum is in no way dead, the cryptocurrency has dropped over 28% in value over the last...

I've mined a lot of coins but not ethash before. I was looking to mine different ethash coins but it says cannot allocate DAG file size. I upped my virtual memory but it seems the recommended amount is 16000 (only have available 8000). Would the solution in this case be buying another pair of...

Currently, I have -TB 250 -Seasonic 1250W -3x 1080 ti -2x 1070 All undervolted so that it's drawing 820W from the wall. I'm wondering if it's better to add a second PSU or get buy a some 8 Pin to molex etc if I'm looking to add in 1 more GPU? I don't have enough cables that come with the PSU...

ETH mining is heavily memory bandwidth bound, to the point that incremental compute horse power doesn't really matter. After some experimentation, here are my settings (for NVIDIA) that could make mining more "green" and prolong the life of your cards. 1. Set the power limit to 50-60%. This...

http://boinc.gridcomputingcenter.org/ On top of running the NCI applications from GoofyxGrid, it appears that they are now testing some cryptocoin generation options to fill the place of BitoinUtopia. Apparently you will be able to mine XMR from the project if you opt in. Currently only AMD...

Hello all, I rarely sell, but since people are going nuts for these amd cards right now, I have picked up a 1060 to tide me over while I sell my old GCN cards. All cards have switchable bios' that have been modded with the exception of the XFX card. Cards have all been watercooled for their...

I'm selling my 270 because i upgraded to a GTX 1070 and no longer need, plus with the AMD market looking good I might as well try! Originally purchases from grimham last year, December 2016. The card is in great physically and working condition. It does have some fan noise here and there...

"Good" malware is the kind the person is not even aware of, right? And "good" malware prevents the spread of other malware, right? The ProofPoint website has a write-up on the Adylkuzz malware, that is much like the WannaCry RansomWorm in that it spreads the same way. Instead of holding your...
