With the mining tweak is it true 1060 hashing 4mhs less than 1070 or is that only for ethereum

Dag fix is only for amd. 1060 does 23mh and 1070 does 31mh.

Nope I still need fill the mother in law place with Rigs lol Got to make use of that 3 phase power !

Who has 3-phase power at their home? Is it like a separate source? Do they run a separate single phase DB for the home equipment?

Not the dag fix. On Carbonite a month ago code released boosts 1060 by 25 percent boosts 1070 by 3/5 percent

It's a small holding so quite a big property. Total feed is 200amps !

Wtf. Where?

 

[Damac10]

Wtf. Where?

1060 cards were boosted to 25 / 26 mhs. Youtube has video

I think that with ethminer and not claymore. Ethminer does not dual mine.

I see a few 1060s on loot for sub R5k.
NM I see they're 3Gb cards :erm:

What's wrong with 3gb?

Ahhh ohk. Must go into nh folder then to investigate.

Let us know..

OK, so separate 1phase for the home stuff?

There is already a fix for amd. Won't nvidia just do the same? Other stuff to mine that's profitable. Hate that most articles just pin everything on ETH. Mining exists beyond ETH.

If there's nice cheap 3gb I'll sniff it. Those loot ones are expensive.

 

[akescpt]

More interesting is what will happen to nh. ETH must be their prime money spinner.

Will anything GPU mineable be profitable after 1/11 though ?

So ETH stops then everything crashes?

 

[Kwerty]

Question - when you crash it, is it alive at all, like do you have to turn off at the mains?

The rig is still running but has frozen. I hold in the power button for 8 seconds to switch it off.

I was thinking maybe it'll be better to have something based on if you can ping the rig or not. If it's not reachable for longer than 5 minutes then use the reset switch to restart everything.

No idea. I still don't know what the dominant factor is in value creation: investment (and usage) or miners adding liquidity by trading their generated coins. The whole things is a bit of a blur. If none of the existing coins prove popular for anybody else than miners then something new will probably pop up perhaps even hybrid PoW/PoS alongside everything else that make promising coins promising.

Does hitting the reset button have the same effect as cycling the power to the machine, and would cycling the power be a viable solution?

Perfect...
you could work a few checks and balances in -
1) on the rig itself check every 30 seconds if the mining process is running, if not, restart the process, if that fails, reboot
2) with the Pi ping the rig every 30 seconds. If it fails, remote reboot the rig, if that fails, hard reset the PC from the Pi.
