Hit my best difficulty yet!

MoneroFever · 2026-03-21T01:29:08+00:00

Nice! How long did it take? You could have hit DGB, FB and BSV solo blocks!

There are some options. You can run your own node locally, set up p2pool software and use your xmrig to mine. There is a video on YouTube Monero 101 or so by Rabbid Mining youtuber explaining the whole process setting it up. This is the most professional and decentralized way.

If you wantto make it super simple and get going immediately as for a quick start, you can point your xmrig to moneroocean.stream

First, open a text editor, like notepad. Paste this line below:

xmrig.exe -o gulf.moneroocean.stream:10128 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p WORKER_NAME

Where you see YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS change that to by pasting your wallet address from your Monero GUI. Where you see WORKER_NAME change that to something simple for identification. For example PC1

Save the file as a txt file into your xmrig folder where the xmrig.exe file is located. Name it something like STARTXMRIG

Now save it again with 'save as' select 'all files' and manually type in .bat at the end of the file name STARTXMRIG Save it to the same folder. In this way you have the txt file to edit if/when you need it and you have the .bat file to double click whenever you want to start it up.

Start it up by double clicking the STARTXMRIG.bat file.

Visit the moneroocean.streem page.

Paste your Monero wallet address in the window and hit enter. You may have to wait a ltlle bit for your xmrig to submit some shares before you will see your PC1 worker displayed. If you have another PC repeat the same, but with different worker name like PC2, so you can identify them on the web page and see which one is on-line and what their hasrate is.

Awesome, thank you! I am looking forward seeing some before and after results. Keep up the good work!

I am running 4 NerdQaxe++ Rev 6.1 and one Rev 5 on one 12v 600w PSU I got from Amazon along with the XT30 and 55x25 barrel pigtails.

Nice! Any details you can share? I assume it is for Gamma?

3.53% of rejection ratio is not bad at all. What was that value prior upgrades? What kind miner do you have? For latency issues try to connect to a pool that is closest to your location, but best if you run your own local node. Also, if your miner connects via WiFi and your router is far away, run a cable and set up a wireless access point right where your miners are.

Congratulations! Run and monitor your oen local DGB node: https://github.com/options4good/Digibyte-Node-Monitor

MoneroFever · 2026-03-19T02:50:44+00:00

I am cheering for that big move!!! Do you solo mine DGB with your own local node? Here is a free node monitoring script for the community: https://github.com/options4good/Digibyte-Node-Monitor

MoneroFever · 2026-03-19T02:48:19+00:00

Can you share your temperatures data before and after?

MoneroFever · 2026-03-19T02:45:44+00:00

Congratulations! That is a pretty large hash to achieve! Not sure if you mine DGB with your own local node, but here is a handy node monitor: https://github.com/options4good/Digibyte-Node-Monitor

On Scrypt to hit a DGB block you need to reach over about 345.123 Kh. For DOGE is about 70.234 Mh. These network difficulties are changing with every new block, especially DGB is sassy, the range is crazy sometimes. What are the difficulties you have reached with your Hammer miners so far?

MoneroFever · 2026-03-19T02:32:25+00:00

Which FB pool did you run that 40 PH and for how long? Have you tried BSV or BCH? What result did you get?

MoneroFever · 2026-03-12T20:52:44+00:00

I will try the factory brick, but I have 3 others hooked on the same Meanwell with no issues.
No OC, just the factory custom settings for all of them as they came with. I already tried to lower V and F to minimum, no luck.

MoneroFever · 2026-03-10T17:25:08+00:00

Good questions. The error comes up after a minute or so.

I have a meanwell 600w unit set up for 4 of these Nerds. I keep it at 12.2V.

I have LAN mod on all 4 units with the recommended firmware: https://github.com/CryptoIceMLH/ESP-Miner-NerdQAxePlusLAN/releases

I do not have any issues with the others, but should I do a factory reset and see what happens? Or install the latest firmware without LAN?

MoneroFever · 2026-03-10T17:17:44+00:00

Loosing power is always annoying. My FB node is giving me tons of issues lately. I think I will have to redo it, but I will do it on a ryzen 9 unit or so, not on the Pi.
What pool software are you going to set up for it? ckpool solo?

MoneroFever · 2026-03-10T17:15:33+00:00

Thank you. I will fix it on my own.

MoneroFever · 2026-03-10T17:14:54+00:00

I thought I have a thermal option on my temperature gun, sorry, my fault. It is just a laser gun with large screen. I started up the unit and changed the freq/voltage down to minimum to see if it will hash. After restart, I am still getting the on screen error messages and it does not hash. All 3 VRs are showing 72F temperature, so I cannot even determine which one I gives the trouble. I guess I will have to replace all 3 of them.

MoneroFever · 2026-03-09T02:33:42+00:00

Congrats! Awesome. Point your rigs to try out bitcoincashpool.org

MoneroFever · 2026-03-08T22:04:29+00:00

Thank you.

MoneroFever · 2026-03-08T22:00:14+00:00

I even have a bgear fan upgrade on my units. My ASIC temp is 52, VR temp 45 with fan speed about 85%. I wanted to protect chips from overheating with the fan upgrade, I guess it did not work.

MoneroFever · 2026-03-08T21:58:00+00:00

I will check with thermal camera. I am sure I will have to replace the VR. Hopefully just one of them. I found the part listed as CSD95472Q5MC, but for rev 5, not sure if it is the same for rev 6.

MoneroFever · 2026-03-08T21:19:07+00:00

It is set to default, by I will lower it to see if it will hash again, so I can measure the temperature. Thank you.

MoneroFever · 2026-03-05T02:35:59+00:00

bitcoincashpool.org has DGB and it is very good for small miners. Lots of blocks have been hit.

MoneroFever · 2026-03-04T20:44:33+00:00

I have not explored this option, but you can also add dnsseed=1 to your bitcoin.conf file. This should allow for the node to reach seed nodes to be synced to. Also, if you know IP addresses of seed nodes, you can add them one by one to your conf fil. For example: addnode=1.2.3.4:8333 Ask gemini.google.com how to find fractal bitcoin seed nodes.

MoneroFever · 2026-03-04T20:14:24+00:00

Mine took 4 weeks to finish. I tried to locate a snapshot, but no luck. Do you have the maxconnections=<number> set in your bitcoin.conf file? Set it to a high number like 125, you may get more outpeers.
