What are /r/cryptomining's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Install Chrome Remote Desktop. It’s free, and I use it to control my rigs while at work, on vacation, etc. via my phone. I’d also recommend getting a smart plug as a backup in case the system freezes and you need to restart. I use this. Just make sure you also set your motherboard BIOS settings to where your system will restart after losing power.

The link to the Tinkercad creation is here

For a 80mm fan (select a 50+CFM for best results)

Printed at a 45° angle with support and raft. 10-11hrs print depending on options

My printer had a Y issue just before finishing, hence the tape I used to close the top (visible in pic1).

If the PSU is used at 110V and the usage is above 800watts, the whine will be present but not as much audible as without the fan (before, the noise would be heard through the hardwood floor from the basement)

If the PSU is on 240V, consider it wife proof :-)

To clarify, you have a thousand PC's. And you want to make $500,000 per month. And they are connected to each other?

Is that what you're asking, because the answer is: What PC's do you have, more specifically what graphics card do they have inside them? Assuming they all have 3090's (One of the most profitable cards) mining Eth you'd make about $7.80 per 24 hours. (Assuming that your electricity is free)

$7.80 x 30 Days = $234

So, with your 1000 PC's with 3090's you'd make around $234,000 a month, assuming that your electricity is free.

​

So... No, you can't make $500,000 a month unless you've got two 3090's in each machine and even then you'd only mine $468,000 a month

​

However profitability changes daily and so does the price of Eth.

oh? you double your money in year... go find another investment like that ctfu.

Mining is completely independent of price/value. Estimated specs are here for an S9. Only thing that will reduce the profit is more competition (and improved ASICS), and the block reward decreasing (like in 2020).

Just also beware how damn noisy these things are; definitely make sure you can live with the noise and power requirements (1300W is enough to rule out some circuits, do your homework).

You can check out GPU specs here WhatToMine.com and you can also install Cudo Miner a super easy to use miner that will automatically mine the most profitable coins using CPU & GPU. It will also let you auto convert to bitcoin, ethereum or a couple others.

Could also be that other customers are cancelling orders due to the price fall and one of their miners became your miner.

I didn't have any trouble finding bad reviews:

>Yes, it's an assumption, I would say a fairly strong one, Compass mining while not a complete fraud, is a shady company using miners before handing them off to their customers.

So any actual evidence? Like a wallet address or anything like that?

Hi friend! You should use one of the many profitability calculators to find a card that generates the income you desire: https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/

However, purchasing a card for a reasonable price is another matter. The price of your hardware will determine your break even point.

I would say the Nvidia GTX 1660 is right in that sweet spot.

Yes, basically you’ll have slots for 8 GPU’s. You can fill each up with whichever GPUs you want to mine with but keep in mind GPUs have different hash rates and profitability. For example, a RTX 3090 will give you around $4k in profit at current rates but it would cost you your left nut to buy one right now second hand. I’d look at which cards you can get that have the best payback. I went with RX 580s because I found a deal on them and will break even on them in 4 months (my minimum for purchase is 6 months or less to breakeven). Here’s two easy places to check profitability on GPU models:

https://whattomine.com/gpus?cost=0.12&button=

https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/nvidia-gtx-1080-ti/amd-rx-580-8gb

Now that sounds much better (although I 100% agree of using a price target as compared to today's value). I used a generic online calculator (link below) to get the 20 months. With ETH going 2.0 I've gotta scratch my itch somehow how this might be the way. calculator

i mean it would be profitable if you stick your 970 in an old dusty low spec pc that draws in very little power. Your gaming rig probably has a mid-high spec cpu thats drawing lots of power which is not what you want. I've calculated the the break even point with a 970 is when your rig is drawing 430 watts but it depends upon your local electricity price.(I think here in the UK its expensive compared to ROW) https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/zec?HashingPower=220&HashingUnit=H%2Fs&PowerConsumption=430&CostPerkWh=0.18

Of course make sure your mining Zcash or any equihash algorithm coin which is the most efficent for nvidia cards.This video sums that up pretty nicely as well as what other cryptos are available for you to mine... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Yok6_pAiTA&index=37&list=WL&t=126s

I'm by no means an expert tho, I only started 2 days ago although I've already made £7 worth of Zcash. Im thinking of building a 6 GPU rig of 1070's. If your serious about mining you should get a 1070 and stick in some old crappy PC and run it 24/7 and then work towards a multi GPU rig.

I have 8 rigs that I built for under $4000 each. If you are set on GPU mining with nicehash check out their profitability calculator here i personaly am a huge fun of 1070s but thats just me.

Hey folks!

I started mining in February and these rigs generate a lot of heat!

I am also taking a course on entrepreneurship this semester at uni and for a project we decided to think about a way of using this heat. Essentially we want to replace an electric water heater/boiler with a mining rig to supply hot water to the central heating system.

We decided calling it heat+ethereum=heathereum.

I'm curious what people think (opens a microsoft forms page):

https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=R\_J9zM5gD0qddXBM9g78ZF3BSNWFXmJCm2WfkF0ejetUMVpWS0NXMDlSUkVGSkdKUk5MRlM0NlFCVC4u

Kryptex is good the fees arent that much and you can go on the website on you phone the only bad thing is the range of options but its not bad they still have alot and its a great software for beginers ref| non-ref

I currently use Cudo Miner. It is extremely easy to setup and get started. It has worked well for me so far. Feel free to use my referral code :)

I put Noctua fans in my rigs and they are perfect for my racked application. In conjunction with FanControl (https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases). Found that bit of software while looking for a SpeedFan alternative.

I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/nkomax-Thermalright-85x45x1-5mm-Conductive-Temperature/dp/B08CGVZ4YG Are they good? I also saw some videos of people adding heatsink to the back plate of the card. What do you think about that? I’d rather not open the card

If you ever need to can use this part from Amazon:

XT-XINTE Riser Card PCI-E USB 3.0 PCIe Port Multiplier Card PCI Express PCIe 1 to 4 PCI-E to PCI-E for BTC Miner Machine

to help space them out better and add more pcie slots to your board. Then you can get longer usb 3.0 cables from Amazon also if needed.

Please only buy 1 correctly over-rated PSU. You can get a 2000 watt one for pretty cheap on Amazon rated for mining. I'm an electrician, it's definitely better to get more watts than you will use... Unless you like electrical fires 😅 kepp up the good work!

This is the PSU I bought for mining with!

Ziptie a few of these blowing on the cards on oneside and a few of them on the opposite pushing the heat away from the rig:

I used these heat sinks

https://www.amazon.com/Awxlumv-Aluminium-Heatsink-Radiator-20x20x10mm/dp/B08BKLX1DC

They come pre applied with thermal tape just peel and paste. Very strong hold.

The fans by powered directly by SATA using a SATA to 3-pin adapter/splitter which can power 3 or 5 fans.

If it is consuming 2000 watts, then it cannot have (was not provided) a plug that looks like this. No 2000 watt power supply or appliance can be provided with that type plug.

How do you know it is consuming 2000 watts? Is it so hot as to also toast bread?

I ordered one of these to try and already have a longer usb cable and psu extender cable will update when I get it and install it tomorrow. If it works than I will get a second one and add the third card to the rig

thanks for the ideas <3

Yes I did for all my 7 3090 cards. I bought these heat sinks and attached to 3090 backplate carefully around breathing holes. https://www.amazon.com/Awxlumv-Aluminium-Heatsink-Radiator-20x20x10mm/dp/B08BKLX1DC I have a 120 mm fan blowing directly over the backplate. I get 82-90 mem junction temps and avoid repad.

Your 3090 is getting roasted. Start with the core clock licked to 1150 and memory clock to 1000 and fan 70-75%. This will give you a power draw around 275-285 watts, hash rate around 118-120 and will bring temps down to 50/86-90 range. You can attach some small aluminum heat sinks like these https://www.amazon.com/Easycargo-Heatsink-20x20x10mm-Conductive-20mmx20mmx10mm/dp/B07BDKN3XV/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=D5BF7NYMQDTK&amp;keywords=aluminum+heatsink+small+20x20x10&amp;qid=1647114974&amp;sprefix=aluminum+heatsink+small+20x20x10%2Caps%2C51&... to the backplate around breathing holes and blow air on backplate directly by a 120 mm or 90 mm fan. That will chill your 3090 down further by 4-8 degrees and without need to open card and repad.

I use these work perfectly. Just make sure you always connect the molex cable from the main psu. It's clear on the 2nd PSU but if you go to 3 keep that in mind

Honestly your psu is a little small for expandability. For a mobo buy a cheap gaming mobo with a Intel celeron with Intel graphics about 4 GB ram for hive and 8 GB for nice hash. Run a USB drive. Now my solution for upgrading and expansion is pretty simple you can turn a two slot mobo into an 8 riser board with a riser card (1) another quick solution to your psu issue is buy a psu cable splitter (2) this allows you to put two psu's in the same rig and turn them on with the same switch. Good luck on mining

It comes with a CPU, uses cheaper laptop ram, you don’t need risers and can use a server PC.

1000w PSU

I use this one ran 2 doge and 2 KDAbox on it and another 4 one the G3 version. You can run 3 boxes on a 750 so it might even be cheaper to get 2 750watt PSU for like 70$ each. Good luck either way!

That Octominer x8Ultra case appears to be nearly impossible to get. Looks like I'm going to have to go with something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/VTRETU-Ethereum-Motherboard-Supply%EF%BC%88110-264V%EF%BC%89-Complete/dp/B09NC3Y2QC/

I can't find a case that will support moving over the existing motherboard (other than maybe something the Rosewill L4000 case that appears to now be discontinued).

Couldn't find much info on it but this guy seems to like it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQwMCO2veZg

At least it should run on standard 110v household electrical outlet and allow us to move over the 8 existing video cards.

Anyone have any thoughts on the Vtretu?

Cudo Miner is super easy plug and play software. Install, it will scan your system and mine the most profitable coins your system can handle, set it to auto convert those coins to BTC, ETH, or Algo and let it run. You can even set a schedule for it to run (like only at night)

The only time better to get into it than today is yesterday.

That said, be sure to double-check when you'll get a return on investment with the setup you're looking to have. It's typical not to see any profit for 6 to 8 months.

bro, I'm not sure what you are putting into the calculator, but they absolutely are not doing $30/day... they are 16th/s and 1480w. For $30/day you would need like >225th/s right now.

What are you doing with a 2070 super and a 3900x just laying around? My definition of laying around is my i3-2120 in a dell Optiplex running windows 7.

Electricity at $0.03 per kWh is extremely rare, usually around $0.10, but to mine with both of them really comes down to the software you use. The two software's I know that support multiple CPU/GPUs mining simultaneously are NiceHash and Kryptex.

If you have one of those programs, the UI is fairly simple and it'll show all of your available miners, then you can check the box to start or stop mining.

Putting it into a profitability calculator, you'll actually be making pretty decent money. Around 7.08/USD income and 6.53/USD a day of profit. Around $145.75/m profit (including electricity). Then again, the mining rates right now are ridiculously high, so I would assume that number would drop down to around $5.50-$6/d profit. You can study it yourself here:

https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/amd-cpu-ryzen-9-3900x,nvidia-rtx-2070-super

If you need anymore help, I can forward you some articles that I and other people have wrote, explaining the setup.

Nicehash recommends the Standard Game Ready driver, instead of the normal one you download from GeForce Experience, try using theese: https://www.nicehash.com/blog/post/how-to-correctly-uninstall-and-install-gpu-drivers

Probably yes, but i would not but 4gb cards now, try to look for 1660Super or RTX 2080 Super. Im using the same motherboard, 2x1600W PSU, i would still recommend 256ssd and 8gigs of ram. SSD is needed for virtual memory in order to run multiple GPUs.
Read this: https://www.nicehash.com/blog/post/how-to-increase-virtual-memory-on-windows

Thank you for the response. You said BTC can only be mined using ASIC but I heard it's possible for a GPU like AMD RX 6800 to earn $5 a day. Sorry for my lack of understanding, but is it that ASIC are more effective than a GPU?

I just started doing this in my gaming PC. I have two GTX 1660 Supers and I’m using NiceHash because it came recommended as the easiest way to get up and running.

According to the Nicehash profitability estimator, the Ti is slightly faster than the Super. They claim the Super will produce about $3.33/day while the Ti does $3.50.

This roughly tracks. I’ve been doing this for 5 days and the two cards together have yielded a little over $30 in Bitcoin. (This number has grown a little bit as Bitcoin has increased in value.)

Stock, they only did about 22 MH/s, which is only good for about $2.35/day. Enter overclocking.

I have them custom clocked in Afterburner. Most cards benefit from overclocking the VRAM and slowing the core clock, but following recommended settings I discovered that I couldn’t get either card to hash over 24 MH/s. Then I found a thread where someone mentioned that some Supers have Hynix VRAM, and these benefit from an underclock, which improves stability and increases the hash speed! I turned the memory clock down to the minimum (-502), left the core clock alone, and turned the max power down to reduce the temperature and increase efficiently. Turns out both cards (different brands) run reliably at the bare minimum (50% and 56%, respectively) using only 75w (down from 125w) chugging along at 31 MH/s. One card is running at 58c and the other 52c in my PC case with the side panel off.

I don’t know how much the Ti shares in common with the Super, but this was the only way to get them running at full speed.

But to answer your question, “bout tree fiddy”.

Yeah 55-60 is about where you're at.

-150 core, +700-900 memory. Turn the voltage down to 70%

I wasn't able to quite hit the numbers they pulled (silicon lottery).

They do cloud mining which is red flag because 99% of those sites are scams. Trustpilot reviews can be hit or miss but they don't seem to trustworthy, IMO.

Run your numbers using a mining calculator such as this to determine if you will be profitable or if its even worth it

Well it will largely depend on the type of i5 and the power costs for you

I took a guess at hash rate, 3500, and assumed 70watts at $.10 and it's like, barely profitable lol

This miner you linked apparently gives you 1,2k per month. According to this calculator https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/btc?HashingPower=120&amp;HashingUnit=TH%2Fs&amp;PowerConsumption=1450&amp;CostPerkWh=0.07&amp;MiningPoolFee=1

What am I missing?

Well, his numbers don't add up - always worth checking on this little calculator here as you can enter your power costs etc. I'd say you would be lucky to get $8 or $9 a day back, so you will be looking at a while before you cover your ROI. - https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/eth?HashingPower=125&amp;HashingUnit=MH%2Fs&amp;PowerConsumption=140&amp;CostPerkWh=0.12&amp;MiningPoolFee=1

as long as the electricity and cost of the mining equipment is accounted for - yes. ethereum is about to switch to proof of stake, (meaning it wouldn't need miners, only validators) so maybe choose another coin. if you are interested in mining crypto generally I would check out this link to a mining calculator. https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/eth input your electricity costs and you should get a estimate of your profits. hope that helps!

Eth... make sure you’re using the updated amount for eth currently at 4,200. https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/eth?HashingPower=180&amp;HashingUnit=MH%2Fs&amp;PowerConsumption=800&amp;CostPerkWh=0.1233&amp;MiningPoolFee=1

I did BIOS mod (it was easy) watch utube. Then you have to switch your card into “compute” mode in advanced settings of Radeon Software. Im running stable 27 Mhs all day today.

https://www.nicehash.com/blog/post/how-to-enable-compute-mode-on-amd-cards-and-double-your-hash-rate

I used to have a couple of L3+ a year or so ago. I used NiceHash mining pool. They use pay per share (PPS) payout system. That means they will pay you for the hash rate you provide (I.e. 504 MH per miner). You will get paid to your NiceHash wallet (in bitcoin) every 4 hours or so. So rather then competing to find the next block yourself, you get a study pay depending on the hash you provide and the difficulty of the blockchain.

Here is the link for NiceHash payout help page.

https://www.nicehash.com/support/mining-help/earnings-and-payments/when-and-how-do-you-get-paid

Also, to estimate how much you will be making when you plug your miners, check out this site:

There is a field for electricity cost near the bottom of the page.

Oh and if you want a guide for it: https://steemit.com/ethereum/@memo99/how-to-reach-30-mh-ethereum-with-rx580-on-dual-mine-and-more-with-90-w-energy-consumption

Good luck, but don't settle for under 30mh/s

If you don't want to spend hours or days troubleshooting, you need one spare of everything. Spare power supply, a known good motherboard, ram, etc.

Then divide and conquer. Swap power supplies, motherboards, ram, etc. and you'll quickly zero in on the problem.

The power switch pins should be the 3rd and 4th pins from the right on the bottom row (from 1:35 in the vid). These work good:

I have a 110 fan I REALLY like but this was the first fan I found that's 220 that looks comparable. Cannot vouch for it...

it's a time lapse so I made it time lapse over 5 mins, this was the heatsink I used, it's no longer available but it looks like there are some others for about the same price: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089QHMG5M/

This one worked a little better for me obviously as it allowed setting the fan on top, however in your case if you were to put a case fan perpendicular to blow through the fins on the one your using, I suspect the effect would be dramatic as well as it looks similar to my first attempt which used the same style of heatsink that I salvaged out of an old OEM dell computer haha

It's not that simple because the networks can still talk together. Your information is still passing through router #1. The best option would be to buy (for example) a 5 port managed switch. Plug the HNT device into a certain port on the router that you setup a VLAN for. Say port #1 on your router is your connection to the modem/internet. Say port #2 is your regular internet. Port #3 is your HNT device. You would want to specify in the Switch that port #2 is assigned a Vlan ID of say 100, then set the VLAN on port #3 as VLAN ID 200. This is what we do at our clients sites to segregate the phone system from the "regular network". You cannot access the phones from the PC's unless you plug into a specific port setup on the switch to have the same VLAN ID as the phone system. That is the simplest way I can think of. This is also how I run any Alexa/Google Home/Tv's/any IOT device.

This would do the job just fine.

Here's some info on VLAN's

Cudo Miner easy to install and use. It will scan your hardware and automatically mine the most profitable coin. You can choose to have it auto convert to bitcoin, ethereum, or a few others.

Sorry it turns out I misread your post. Use this website to calculate potential gains.

If you're looking to start mining, i would first look if it is profitable in your region. You can get a 3000$ miner, but when kw/h cost is high it won't be very profitable. On this site you can see how profitable it will be. If you are looking to get in to "mining world", i would recommend mining on GPU's first.

If you're mining for something like litecoinpool.org you'll be pulling in about 7ltc a month

https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/ltc?HashingPower=8064&amp;HashingUnit=MH%2Fs&amp;PowerConsumption=12800&amp;CostPerkWh=0.0324&amp;MiningPoolFee=1

This calculator is fairly accurate, although market conditions are obviously constantly changing so ymmv over time.

Thanks. Have you any experience with them ? But, the numbers seems crazy high...

For example this one the Baikal Giant B is, from their table, from 40GH to 160Gh depending algo used.

Now, if I go to this mining simulator it give some crazy high number, even a the lowest 40GH... Am i missing something ?

Thx !

Agreed, pretty scummy, but look at https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator for the figures you want. You wouldn't be making much, if anything.

If you will be mining 24/7 :

Im mining KDA at the moment and Im working to build out a colocation service in Arkansas. Feel free to reach out if you want to talk. Additionally, but not required, could you fill out my survey? I'm trying to get a better understanding of hosting requirements from the community.

survey

something like this https://tinyurl.com/yb77zjhk just search ebay for "metered PDU" and you can find something used on the cheap that will be 30a @ 220v or whatever you might need. it will usually be overkill on outlet count for mining rigs but who cares.

yes absolutely. and you most likely have 1 "space" in between

check out these badboy Exhaust Cooling Fan

just put it in the middle of the two cards or get 2 and put them on both sides.

Not sure if it's this one but it gives you a starting point to search...

People said I can use a 110 to 220v step up converter to run the Antminer miners. Like this one

Like this?

It’s a storage unit in the basement of a condo, essentially a closet. So you’re saying just a fan acting as a vent won’t work. I guess something like this will?

I’d cut a hole in the door to run the venting hose out, in that scenario.

u/enragedsaturday, from the images I've seen of the L7s, they seem to require C13 connections. The PDU you linked to only has C19s. Is this your understanding as well? If so, it seems as though one would need a C20 to C13 cable like this: https://www.amazon.com/C20-C13-Power-Cord-IBX-1624-03/dp/B00CH0E20A

Do you have a different understanding?

There are atleast two more projects already working with the same idea: to replace visual ads:

First one is JSEcoin

Second one is Webchain

&#x200B;

Good luck on your project!

https://www.kryptex.org/?ref=f5ef4376 Try kryptex, mines while you use the computer. Payouts in either BTC or ETH your choice, flat rate gas only like 10 bucks. Great windows miner and as far as I know not possibly all god awful shady like NiceHash(Hence why he said he would never use it.) I use kryptex for my PC and HiveOS for my 2 8 card rigs. Either will serve you well.

Hi! Check out this list of GPUs — https://www.kryptex.org/en/best-gpus-for-mining

I think there is no better solutions to find the best GPUs for mining.

I'd buy some RX580 or NVIDIA P106-100 or GTX1060

Better try Kryptex. It has a convenient lite mode, low limits, fiat payouts, etc:
https://www.kryptex.org/en/

Just run it for a day and see if you like mining or not.

For such a short time; using a program like Cudo miner makes the most sense to me. Just set it up to use 3rd party software and enable overclocking then go into the settings and customize the cpu with the options they have to make them more efficient. Make it so your payout is in Algorand, which Cudo will auto convert to without fees, that way when it’s time to pay out you get instant payout with a very low fee (0.001 Algo total gas fee). This avoids any insane eth gas fee etc. you should get the 20 ALGO needed to cash out by November. I have a referral code if you wanna try out Cudo miner, it will waive your other fees for the first few months iirc. Good luck! https://www.cudominer.com/?a=vcRuV0Ed6

Cudo Miner or NiceHash are the easiest. Both are basically plug and play software and will mine the most profitable coin based on your specs

You can definitely mine ethereum, and SHOULD be mining it instead of btc, with your setup right now. You just need your gpu to have 6gb or ram or more for ether mining. BTC is really only mineable at this point with ASICs. You can also mine monero with your cpu at the same time. Some easy platforms to mine with are nicehash and cudo miner, great for beginners. I personally use cudo, but more people use nicehash overall. Both are super user-friendly. I like that I can automatically convert whatever im mining in cudominer to algorand, which is my preferred coin for transfers (transfer fees with algo are 0.001 algo and are almost instant). If you try out cudo miner, here's my referral code if youd like, to get extra perks/returns: https://www.cudominer.com/?a=vcRuV0Ed6

ps: nicehash has a decent profitability calculator so you can compare different cards. You can also deduct your computer and your electricity from your taxes

If you’re going to have the gaming PC already then it won’t hurt to mine with it when not in use. You’ll make a few extra bucks on the side. There are several software options out there. I use CudoMiner which automatically mines the most profitable coin and you can choose to either keep that coin or have it auto-convert to bitcoin or a few others. You can also check out UnMineable if you want to get paid out in some alternate crypto. Passive income is great!

A really easy way to get started with mining is with Cudo Miner it scans your system and will mine the most profitable coins. You can then choose to convert automatically to bitcoin, ethereum or a couple others.

I’ve used Cudo Miner...super easy to install and run on a Mac. You won’t make a lot, but it’s something. It will mine Monero with the CPU and you can choose to auto convert to bitcoin. Cudo Miner

I've been using Cudo Miner... its cool for getting started and using your GPU (or CPU) for small on the side mining and you can set power limits. Here's a link if you check it out https://www.cudominer.com/?a=hfJretGTw

You can try Cudominer! It’s an easy to use mining client that switches between the most popular algorithms and coins to ensure maximum profitability for your hardware. It features a nice GUI with temperature and power consumption readouts, a website with which you can remotely enable/disable mining on your devices and inbuilt overclocking settings! Another important feature is the automatic conversion of your mined coins to your preferred payout currency, you can choose between bitcoin, ethereum, ravencoin and monero. Made by a team of miners and programmers in Great Britain, the company’s background is fully transparent. Sign up now on https://cudominer.com

Even with high level miners, you might make a dollar or two a day now.

The only positive is if you use something like cudo miner, you can CPU mine while you GPU mine if you use a computer. That ups it significantly, comparatively speaking.

You'll most likely want to get CUDO miner and mine Raven coin. Cudo miner automatically selects the most profitable coin depending on the coins difficulty and value. Then when it comes time to cash out you can take any coin you want. Ill usually just cash put with the Bitcoin. Anyway here's the link you also get a 5,000 Satoshi bonus when you sign up

https://www.cudominer.com/?a=g2UrfdUUE

If your looking for a miner one of the best sofar with no fees is CUDO miner. It lets you run multiple PC's and configures their GPU and CPU for optional mining profitability. Use the referral link and you will be credited 5000 Satoshi. You can withdraw at 20,000 or .0002 btc

https://www.cudominer.com/?a=g2UrfdUUE

I could only wish for a 2080 ti lol If for whatever reason you don't like CGminer I'll leave a Cudo miner link for you to try out You'll get a 5000 Satoshi bonus for using it but no pressure man just glad I could help! https://www.cudominer.com/?a=bC_QnN8IB

So i came across the following mining software that was about as easy to install and set-up as you get.. I have it running on my old 2012 Imac and 2012 macbook yielding around 2200 satoshi a day

cudominer

Maybe some of you may be interested in it..They are waving the mining fees through July and they are giving you 5000 satoshi free to get you started..

If you already know about it please give me your thoughts

i doesn't matter which currency you are mining you will always get paid in bitcoin. you will get paid out depending if you have an external wallet every 0.01 BTC and every 0.001 BTC if you use a nicehash wallet. it is explained here https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?utm_source=NHM&amp;p=faq#faqs6

Firstly, you need proper electrician's rubber gloves (like these if you plan to open that up safely; the charge stored in its capacitor can kill you.

Second, that Noctua fan does not move anywhere near the same amount of air as the current fan; there is a reason it sounds like a jet engine.

IF you get the proper PPE and you can find a model fan with the same or better CFM rating but a lower dB rating, and also the same voltage/current ratings or it might not spin up at all, then it could work.

NO!

If you're in the US, call an electrician. Tell him/her that you need a 240V (or 220V) 30A circuit installed that terminates into a L6-30R receptacle that you can plug one of these PDUs into:

(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007YG85A) (or similar spec PDU)

Also, buy a few of these 14/3 AWG C14-to-C13 power cables - one for each miner power supply input:

(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0085CE9O8)

... and use them to connect your PSUs to the PDU. 1 in each bank.

Always observe the 80% rule (Google it).

That's it!  Good luck.

here's a basic 6 GPU rig...

Asus PRIME Z390-P ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Intel Core i3-9100 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor

G.Skill RipJaws V 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666 CL19 Memory

Western Digital Blue SN550 250 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive

EVGA P2 750 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

https://www.amazon.co.uk/VEDDHA-Mining-Aluminum-Stackable-Frame/dp/B08Y2HRP26/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&amp;keywords=Mining+Rig+Frame&amp;qid=1634559405&amp;sr=8-4

around $750

then you need 6 GPUs

the most efficient right now are AMD 6600XT - $500-$600 each if lucky

32MH/s @ 60W - remember profit is production MINUS costs

these cards dont have high production but they are super efficient giving you some protection against market trends

this rig would generate $17.50 ETH per day at a cost of $0.84 assuming an electricity cost of $0.10 per unit
