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

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:
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…
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

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”?
Damn! saw this link too late… I already registered. Is there anything I can do, so you still have something from it?
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…
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:
This is the right way to go. U can choose Board with a very low power chipset (like the H-Version for the 1151 Socket) and a small Celron CPU. The CPU is “slow” but you wont use it for mining as much (i hope :smile: )
in the end you should aim to reduce the power which is used in idle. This is the amount the system will (at least) put on to of you GPU consumption.
Keep in mind, that there are very efficient PSUs. It is worth etimating the required consumption and have a look at the specs of the PSU. It will have a peak efficiency in a certain area.
This way you can cut down the running costs and decrease the ROI

Thanks for the reply. That’s how far i understood it. So this means that there is a scale from 1-X? Is there a maximum difficulty? How difficult would it be to have a Hash with ALL 0?
I understand the concept of the Blockchain. I understand the concept of POW. What i am not sure about is the real meaning of difficulty on the Bits. From what I gather: higher dif->more leading 0 in the Hash. How many 0 does a Hash has to have with a Dif of let’s say 100. Certainly not 100 Zeros, right?
@gonnaforget
At least for now, ASIC is out of the Picture. But Multipools can still cause a simillar effect
What Kind of powersupply do you have? I had a simmilar issue with my gaming PC. It was operating fine for quite some time. Then I started to have power surges during intense sessions.
Your PSU might have suffered from your mining Operation, and if there was not enough headroom in Terms of Amps, it might now not be capable of Holding the voltages up.
you can try and use a Utility (like MSI Afterburner. Doesn’t matter your Card is not an MSI) to lower your power target for the GPU. Usually this makes it more Power-Efficient as well (If you devide the Hashrate/Wattage). Sure the Hasrate will go down, but you Need less Power to create each Hash. Best Thing is to lower the Powerlimit in 10% steps and leave the miner running you some Minute. Do the Hash/Watt calc and repeat until you find the max.
The most reliable scource for you wattage is a meter to plug in between your PC and the outlet. Depending on you Board, you might get some good info from the Tool “HWInfo”
Hope this helps!

Useful? - Nope. Nothing less than Excellent!
I have seen the guide before in my endavour to Setup the whole System in Ubuntu Server. Now it will help me again!

Damn, this is amazing! I did not see this yet. Thanks! I will have a look at this ASAP! (Can wait to get off work… Get home… Do ALL the chores… Kiss the wife and Kids good night… and start. ETA 10:30 pm :disappointed: )
Hi wrapper!
Thanks so much for the reply! So at least it was not an obvious thing for me to miss, but in fact not easy to find out.
Please allow me to ask: What is the difference of running you own node with one miner (in my understanding this would be a pool with one client?) to actual solo mining?
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.
