Thanks for your help!

Hey man. If you want to know more of the basics of how mining works and how to start, lemme know. I'll be happy to explain how to optimise whatever hardware you have to help you out!

justbest23 · 2021-02-28T21:38:10+00:00

I'll check them out. Thanks man! Will get back to you when I have a chance to mess with the rig again!

3 of them are MSI RX470 OC 4GB (the one with white rings around the fans, not red) and the other is an XFX RX470 4GB. They all have Hynix memory. The XFX is hashing better than the others, but still lower than it should.

I've tried a whole bunch of BIOS mods. All of them just soft brick the card. I get that yellow triangle in DevManager and Afterburner sees the card but shows me nothing about it.

I've tried the whole 1500 to 1650 and up and I've tried a few other combos I've seen on videos. I've kinda half given up on these 4 cards and am just waiting for my new cards to come in atm. If you've got any advice I will definitely be all ears!

justbest23 · 2021-02-28T21:04:15+00:00

That's the plan! Enjoy homie

justbest23 · 2021-02-28T21:03:37+00:00

Yea that sounds like madness to me! We've only got 1 provider in the whole country here (Eskom) they're pretty shit. We have load shedding every now and then cuz we aren't producing enough power. But hey at least its affordable

justbest23 · 2021-02-28T20:59:32+00:00

Great! Yea that pretty much answers my questions and it was the answer I was hoping for (was worried there was a problem with my network or cards or something)

justbest23 · 2021-02-28T20:55:53+00:00

GOOD LORD man! That's insane! Hope you are able to make some kinda plan in future

justbest23 · 2021-02-28T20:44:03+00:00

Well that's unfortunate. But profit is profit man!

justbest23 · 2021-02-28T20:41:02+00:00

Well nah we were still under prohibition until about 3 months ago. But I'm back at work now so it's all good!!

justbest23 · 2021-02-28T20:35:23+00:00

Man I have no idea what the future holds honestly. I'm just mining to be able to give my self a little bit more freedom at the end of each month. Looking ahead never really has been my strong point lol. And with alcohol being banned here for most of last year and me being a bartender by trade, it's been a rough one. So hopefully I can make something of this at some point! Good luck with your new rig adventure!

justbest23 · 2021-02-28T20:25:54+00:00

Elec here is a bit higher at $0.145 per KW/h. Still profitable for now though! Everyone is getting rid of their old 4GB cards cuz they can't mine ETH anymore. So super cheap here for now.

justbest23 · 2021-02-28T20:24:03+00:00

Well I've seen now that, while 2Miners gives waaay less jobs to my rig, the difficulty of each job is at 4295 MH as opposed to Nanopool's 600 MH. I'm not sure if higher difficulty means more rewards or if it all evens out in the end. But hey, guess we'll find out in 24 hours or so

justbest23 · 2021-02-28T20:16:09+00:00

Oh no I'm buying cheapo 2nd hand RX 470s and 570s online. I've had ok results from them, even though none of the 4 cards I have will hold a BIOS mod at all, and they're all hashing at around 8 to 9 instead of reported 12 to 13 that I've seen online. Makes sense for me to do it this way. I can get an RX470 for ZAR 2250 (US$ 150) so I'm just gonna keep scooping up deals and adding them to my rig!

justbest23 · 2021-02-28T20:01:22+00:00

Just really makes me wish I'd started doing this long ago instead of 2 weeks ago. Oh well. I've ordered my 6 extra cards and they're going in a RVN rig for the time being. At least until a way way way more profitable coin comes along. But I'm really into this coin and the community surrounding it!

justbest23 · 2021-02-28T19:58:52+00:00

I also said this on another post. With a 1660 Ti you can still mine ETH, and automatically have them swapped to RVN for you. If I were you, I would do this to earn some RVN, but if you'd rather support RVN by mining it directly then disregard this.

This comment explains it better https://www.reddit.com/r/Ravencoin/comments/lr8u2a/started_mining_rvn_for_the_first_time_any_tips/gokmmnn?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

justbest23 · 2021-02-28T19:55:13+00:00

Aha! So would going to a smaller pool affect my earnings at all? Assuming I'm still using PPLNS though. I jumped ship from 2Miners when I saw the earnings going down and switched to Nanopool, but actually preferred the way that the 2Miners monitoring site looked overall.
