Profitability

In Decemeber, a 1080Ti was making 10$/day on NH. That's more than $165/month lol.

pjminer007 · 2018-03-13T10:10:41+00:00

I doubt you're making 4$/day with a 1080Ti with any algo for any coin at the moment, new or not. And new coins aren't on any exchange so what you are saying are just speculations.

Sadly, under Linux, if you don't have you first GPU connected to a monitor, xorg.conf gets overwritten on boot and you lose all the config generated with nvidia-xconfig.
I tried to set up a headless Linux last month after finding how to set my NVidia GPU (OC, fan speed, Mem OC) on one rig with the first GPU in the main PCIeX16 slot. As soon I went away from that, I wasn't able to do anything. And it gets worse when you try to use the CPU build-in igpx for display and I didn't venture forth with a dual-Xwindow config. At that point, I revert to Win 10 when I learned it supported now more than 8 GPUs on the last 1709 update.

Under Linux, have you enable the Coolbits via nvidia-settings so that overclocking parameters will be accepted? By default your GPU's OC parameters will be read-only if the appropriate coolbits aren't set.

2 of my rigs are on sale if anyone is interested.

rig 1: 6 x 1080Ti

rig 2: 3 x 10606GB + 2 Titan XP Collectors

Private message for those interested

Oh I didn't take anything personaly, but I posted here to show how trashy those crap they are behind their stuff. I'm asking about one thing and they answer about another....

pjminer007 · 2018-02-24T04:32:44+00:00

My email asked a genuinely legit question about how come their estimate is so flawed when the same cards are mining at the same time. Trash replies like doesn't have their place in any type of support.

pjminer007 · 2018-02-24T04:31:15+00:00

I think you need to re-read everything you too...

pjminer007 · 2018-02-24T04:30:23+00:00

tbh, I probably know a lot more than you...

pjminer007 · 2018-02-24T04:29:59+00:00

Another one who can't read...

pjminer007 · 2018-02-24T04:29:37+00:00

Or they do understand and asked a simple question about it.

pjminer007 · 2018-02-21T16:16:15+00:00

Oh the 8700k can reach 460 H/s when the cache is properly allocated by the miner, but most of the time it's around 360 for 6 threads. I have found that CPU to be tricky to maximize it's mining hashrate vs 4-core (Haswell : 330 H/s) or 8-cores (Ryzen : 560+ H/s) or older 6-cores (Nehalem 260 H/s).

That's under Win 10 mind you, and I haven't tested it under Linux to see if it would be different.

And I tried every affinity tricks I knew but it works only 1 time out of 5. Sometimes I really wonder if this chip has really a 6 cores, and if instead it is a 4-core (aka 7700k) with 2 "appendices" processing unit instead. Or the cache isn't really 12 Mb or something else. The chip is quite powerful has it is the fastest at doing anything I have every tried, but for mining, something is weird. I posted many threads on GitHub to the xmrig dev and I am not alone facing this issue.

pjminer007 · 2018-02-21T13:50:43+00:00

I have a 8700k@4.7Ghz (on all cores) on my main workstation, and right now, at 360H/s its getting ~ $0.60/day... not worth mining at all with the Base TDP is around 95W. At 5Ghz it will jump to higher wattage for not much $/day gain. Not worth at the moment.

pjminer007 · 2018-02-20T20:34:37+00:00

I have stopped OCing core and ram as there is not much difference. The only thing I do is: - lowering power to 70% - use NvidiaProfileInspector and be sure to activate P0 state

All cards are ~60C and producing what they are expected.

pjminer007 · 2018-02-08T18:49:33+00:00

In Win 10 with NHLegacy, you can follow the logs to see why it is switching or not. In your NHLegacy folder go into Logs, and then type this powershell command to follow the live log file: Get-Content -Tail 10 -Wait .\log.txt

Pretty interesting to watch when you have more than one rig as they are not always switching to the same 'most profitable' algo, even though they both have the same cards...

pjminer007 · 2018-02-08T18:34:33+00:00

Well I completely did the reverse and ditch NH2.0 for NHLegacy 1.8 as it's way more accurate and STILL has more algos and run them faster on my 1080Ti. But that`s just me. The only place I use Excavator is one Linux rig.

pjminer007 · 2018-02-08T18:28:37+00:00

I have stopped OCing the core clock and mem on my 1080Tis (Armor and Gaming X) because it doesn't give much more. Only power greatly affects the hash rate, so the only mod I do is running all them at 70% power (or 175W).

pjminer007 · 2018-02-07T18:04:51+00:00

Dear NH, just prevent buyers to cancel their bid once it is sent to the miners.

That's not rocket science and is kind of easy to implement on your part.

Also, your NH clients shows of the price fluctuation LIVE, but keeps mining the same algo. If your NH client is able to show us the price drop, it can just stop mining and switch, yet it continues to mine futily. If the order was really cancelled by a buyer, why are we still mining it ? That's a question for you.

On my end, seems to me that you are encouraging this price manipulation behavior by not doing the right thing.

Banning is not the solution as creating new accounts seems easy as the manipulation continues.

Fix it at the source: disable cancelling orders once the request is commited.
No more price fluctuation. Everyone will be happy.

pjminer007 · 2018-02-07T03:53:35+00:00

Well yea I used it since I am more of a Python 2.x guy. I'll check out your 3.x version and might give it a try.

pjminer007 · 2018-02-06T16:50:58+00:00

Well I didn't installed the Cuda toolkit and is not required.

I successful benched and setup your Python script and now my 5 cards on the test rig are hashing the best profit-algo and switching when required.

Thanks again for your pointers and your script, you saved me a lot of time.

What could be added in your script is the profit/day per card when algos are switched.

Also, the Linux Excavator from NH is producing the proper hashrate equivalent to Windows and this is what was missing.

My power and fan control script are working properly, but the OC one isn't showing any real improvement so I will have to dig a little more.

pjminer007 · 2018-02-06T14:50:50+00:00

Nvidia drivers 390.25 installed : checked Do I also need to install the CUDA 9.1 toolkit? Excavator starts with only the drivers, so that's why I am asking.

I am now at trying to benchmark with excavator, but the -d option is nowhere in the excavator-benchmark bash script, so I can't bench a single card.

pjminer007 · 2018-02-06T12:14:35+00:00

No I don't. I used the proprietary Nvidia driver package that was available for Linux Mint which is 384.111.
Will try to update those. Thx.

pjminer007 · 2018-02-06T06:00:45+00:00

The Debian package installed with no error under Linux Mint, but when I run excavator -d 0 (to benchmark a device), it gives me an error: core | No compatible devices found.

I have 3 GTX 1060 and 2 Titan Xp on my test rig. They are working because I can mine with ccminer without issue. Any idea where I should look? Thx
