Thanks for the welcome!
I have to say: Linux grows on me. In the last week I was SO Close to Format and slam Win10 on it. At least 5 times I said to myself: “Alright. That’s it. F*** all this, I am ging back to Win tomorrow” But in the Office I was thinking about the current Problem. Using my breaks to Google different Ideas. Eventually forged a “masterplan” for the Situation. Got home and tried (and tried and tried…)
Now it works. For an Linux Expert this might be like “Pfft… would have done this better and in 1h” but for me it is “my precious”.
Now I only have to manage to OC the 1070s… Damn you xorg! Damn you Nvidia! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!! :smile:
I ordered fake HDMI Plugs from Amazon this morning. Maybe this will help. Try and try again

If anyone wants to know: SoloMining works for me. I solved a block after 5 days, which is above average. But this is a numbersgame. In the long run, it should level out to the to expect average value. So I hope :sweat_smile:

Hi guys!

I’ve set up a small rig (2x1070) and configured it for solo ming. Yes I know “with this Hashrate you better go for pool mining”, “you’ll never solve a block”…
This Project will be scaled up sooner or later and I just want to gather some experience.
I was connected to the pool and it worked fine.
I have a synced wallet and configured the feathercoind to accept localhost.
I did Point the ccminer to the local Service and gave it a go.
I am Aware the it might take quite a while to eventually solve a block. But is there a way to see if it is working other than “just wait and see”?

As I was in the pool, I adjusted the Intesity of the miner to create most valid Shares. More Intesity might result in higher Hashrate, but it won’t help if more stale Shares are generated. Obviously this all different in Solo, as I don’t get a Feedback in Terms of “Shares”. For the Network every Hash is useless if it’s not a solution to the current block…

I am a noob and this might be obvious to you guys. But I didn’t find anything online that answered this profoundly.

@addamnorth
Nice idea!
I am more a technical guy and no artist, but I think we’d loose some of the recognition value with this change. Furthermore the “F” is quite bold. My first thought was “heavy”. Which is quite the oppsite of a “feather”.
Could you come up with a “minimalist feather”?

Thank you! :grin:

Sounds like a good solution you came up with! I can give you tips/my 10 Cents of Ubuntu, if you ever want to Switch. Some guides online are quite old, and you need to adjust things. Maybe it will help to Transfer the knowledge from Noob to Noob :smile:
Most Linux experts just throw things at you like “you Need to ssh back into you box with -X”
Well, it makes sense to me now, but it took 1 hour for me to decipher the Task…

At least for now, ASIC is out of the Picture. But Multipools can still cause a simillar effect

Great Project! I don’t wear wrist watches anymore. They bother me and feel wrong on my wrist. Which is sad, I have some nice watches I’d like to wear…

I am a mechanical engineer and love this. I have a skeletton pocket watch which you have to wind up by hand. I love this thing!
Let me know if you have an engeneering question which you can’t answere yourself. I will be more than happy to help

@addamnorth
You might just got lucky in that pool. If the pool happen to solve above average amounts of blocks you get more. By the laws of statistics it should level out at a “normal” rate (considering your and the pool’s hashrate) by not hitting so many blocks for a while.
If this speed holds, let me know. I will come to that pool then :wink:

@chekaz

Thanks for the reply! That’s what I expected :smiley:

Well then… Let’s wait

I like that. In fact I just wanted to suggest it and found your post :smile:

Hi Jimmy!
Thanks for comming back to me on that. There sould be a value for clock/mem/Watt in Afterburner. Right? Maybe you could write these here? I am just curious about the setting of the same Chip with a different Brand…

@acidd

Hi Acid! Thanks for the effort. I know the stats from whattomine, but i just can’t seem to reach it.
I will put one of my cards in my Win10 Gaming PC and see what it hashes when is OC it properly. I am just to much of a Noob to be sure that I did everything right in Ubuntu Server.
However, if I compare my stats to here: http://yiimp.eu/bench?algo=neoscrypt&chip=20 I’m not too far off with my 750kH/s @110W.

Hi @jimmy24651

I have 2x “Asus 1070 Dual OC” and the give me around 850KHs (NeoScrypt) with Intensity 20 and CCminer 2.2.3, Cuda 9 and 130W Limit. I tried OCing the cards in Ubuntu Server 16.04, but it did not change much. I don’t understand this. I tried everything up to the point that I got some fake HDMI Dummys to hijack the x11 token to even change the clocks and fanspeeds. (Nvidia OC in headless server is a Bull****)
It seems like my changes take effekt on the cards, at least the readout tells me, that clocks are different. But the Hashrate in benchmark mode of ccminer does just slightly change, even when I underclock GPU and MEM to the lower limit… Overclocking doesn’t change anything…

I wonder how one should get to 1MH without going way over 150 W. Would you mind to share your absolute values for GPU, MEM and TDP? Not the “offset” but the actual values?

Thanks

Damn! saw this link too late… I already registered. Is there anything I can do, so you still have something from it?

@tobi97l

How about https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/ is this an alternative? As far as I know they have FTC/BTC as well. I have an account at Bittrex as well, but it’s empty. I have my (few) coins in several wallets and plan to hold on to them for the next time. But if I ever want to cash in, I should be prepared. If Bittrex is not the best idea, maybe I’ll give cryptopia a try…
