⚒️Simple Questions thread ⚒️ Sub's WIKI ⚒️ /r/MiningRigPics ⚒️

My buddies & I over the year built 8 10-card mining rigs that have been sitting idle for month. We decided to turn them on and with they make a whopping .30/day per card. Almost enough to buy us a sammich after each day (without electric costs).

Specs:
1000w PSU
80x RTX 3080

Are we selling, is AI something, whats the communities suggestion on what we should do?

This thread is for simple questions that don't warrant their own thread (although we strongly suggest checking the sidebar and searching before posting!).

Examples of questions:

• What should I mine?

• Is this build good enough to mine?

• Which PSU should I get for _____ GPU's?

I've noticed this when I was doing a monthly maintenance on one of my rigs, card wired to this cable is running completely fine.

Hi,

Could anybody guide me on how to provide readings for the health of my GPU's? I've seen screenshots on cards sold on Ebay with health readings and would like to provide the same for when I sell mine.

CFX’s mining revenue does not continue to fall like other cryptocurrencies, and at the same time, mining revenue is increasing in recent times.

Can someone help me fetch data from API using python code?

e.g. I need the csv data for mining revenue for

Coin = PYI, Hashrate = 4100 MH/s

I asked chatGPT to write me a python code and it spit out this below but not able to get any data with this. Any help? I am utter newbie at coding and just trying to use chatGPT to generate this data.

-------------------------------------------
import requests
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

# API endpoint for fetching Pyrin (PYI) coin data
url = "https://api.minerstat.com/v2/coins?list=PYI"

# Parameters for calculating profitability
hashrate_MHs = 4100  # Hashrate in MH/s
power_cost_per_KWH = 0.13  # Power cost in $ per KWH

# Get current date and 24 hours ago
current_date = datetime.now().date()
twenty_four_hours_ago = current_date - timedelta(days=1)

# Make a GET request to the API endpoint
response = requests.get(url)

# Check if the request was successful (status code 200)
if response.status_code == 200:
    # Parse JSON response
    coin_data_list = response.json()
    
    # Find the Pyrin (PYI) coin data in the list
    pyrin_data = None
    for coin_data in coin_data_list:
        if coin_data.get("symbol") == "PYI":
            pyrin_data = coin_data
            break
    
    if pyrin_data:
        # Extract relevant data for Pyrin (PYI) coin
        current_price = pyrin_data.get("price")
        block_reward = pyrin_data.get("reward")
        difficulty = pyrin_data.get("difficulty")
        
        # Calculate mining profitability for the last 24 hours
        # Note: This calculation assumes constant difficulty over the past 24 hours
        daily_reward_coins = (hashrate_MHs / difficulty) * block_reward * 24
        daily_profit = daily_reward_coins * current_price - (power_cost_per_KWH * hashrate_MHs * 24)
        
        # Print the result
        print("Today's Date:", current_date)
        print("Current Price:", current_price)
        print("Block Reward:", block_reward)
        print("Difficulty:", difficulty)
        print("Daily Profitability for Last 24 Hours:", daily_profit)
    else:
        print("Data for Pyrin (PYI) coin not found.")
else:
    print("Failed to fetch data from the API. Status code:", response.status_code)

Anyone else downright disgusted with the current state of crypto YouTubers and the constant shilling of referral codes for box miners and and other mining equipment that have now been proven to be complete scams? Just so that you can then take your box miner and mine to Unmineable using yet another one of their referral codes? (By the way, every person gets their own referral code on Unmineable and you can mine to your own code and pay yourself.) In fact, how many ASICs being released will actually mine you more coin in a crypto cycle than what you could have just traded your cash for? How many Kaspa miners would have way more Kaspa right now if they would have just dropped the cash on the coin rather than buying the ASIC and trying to play catch up? For what? You wanna sell that miner in the bull run? Well I guess that's a lame strategy that requires more work than just buying more crypto initially. At the rate the Kaspa miners are being released, the KS0 is now brick since the algorithm difficulty rises too fast.

Many of the YouTube shillers are literally the worst miners on the planet. Either they do not understand mathematics and the concept of time, or money, or coin yield, or the electricity you're gonna burn through trying to "moon," or they DO understand and they are willfully leading their many young and financial illiterate followers right off a cliff's edge. They are setting people up who lack an understanding of cryptocurrency mining in order for them to make $ales. The might dollar has corrupted many of them and I wanted to blast these paragraphs on here to see how others feel about the state of mining right now. I love SHA-256, Scrypt, and to a lesser extent ETC mining, but I can't trust buying any hardware for any other algorightm. It's just not smart.

In closing, stay away from the YouTube shillers. Time will tell all, they kicked themselves square in the nuts again by releasing their Goldshell AL Box miner shillfest videos. I'm not sure how sustainable that path of life they chose is. How much longer can they continue to suck the blood from degens?

Thoughts?

Switching from alephium to hoosat or pyrin , still confused.

I tried playing with worksize and intensity parameters a bit, but they produce uncorrelated results and even core dumps more often.

any clues?

How to use integrated apu instead lf dedicated gpu? My motherboard always reads the dedicated gpu, I want to reflash since I bricked it but it won't even open since it uses it by defalut

Can anyone recommend any hosting facilities in or near Texas? This would be for hosting GPU (in octominer cases) and amd handful of Asics.

Thanks in advance.

Hey does anyone know why Pyrin pumped to $0.21 in March 2024? It's down 70% since then

Cannot seem to find the bios for these cards each one I try is saying pn or ssid mismatch for some reason the bios on these cards are for 4gb which i could not find anywhere. I have spent many hours trying to find solutions to this without resolve. I purchased from eBay and the seller doesn’t take returns. Any advice?

Would fellow miners in the U.S. be interested in a full run down on how to correctly file taxes and utilize write offs? I'm working on a type up, but before I go further, I would like to know if people would actually utilize it.

Is it possible to REALLY make mining profitable, without a large amount of initial money?
Im from Brazil
I have a i3-12100f with a GTX 1660 Super, but I can buy some better GPU if I need

what can I do? What do you recommend?

Hello. Does anyone have overclock settings for this coin? Namely 3060, 3060 ti, 3070, 1660s

Can't find too much information about this. Is there a similar coin around whose overclocks I could use as a reference or starting point?

How do you normally find overclock settings for a coin there is no much information about?

Thanks

A guy is selling a rig with 7 rx 580s 8gb in a mining box for 400 cad.

Is it worth it or not? thanks

Hoosat? It's hoosat! Get onboard while you still can fellow miners! This project is going places!

I am making this post to express my frustration with the setup/confirmation process within MyTonWallet.

A little over a month ago, I created my original wallet on MyTonWallet and wrote the seed phrase and passcode on paper like I always do. The setup proceeded to ask me to confirm a set of 3 random words of the total seed phrase, which I did. *(Side note elaborates on confirmation experience)

I mined GRAM to this wallet for about the last month as earnings stacked up to ~2700 GRAM which at the time of writing is worth about 73 USD.

A couple days ago I realized that I had been logged out of MyTonWallet and when I tried to recover with the seed phrase I wrote down I get an error that says something to the extent of "Seed Phrase is Invalid"

I know it is almost impossible to recover a lost or unknown seed phrase, so I believe there is little I can do.

I just find it very frustrating that almost every other wallet I have used has required me to confirm each of the words individually to avoid this exact issue. I really don't understand why MyTonWallet has decided to only have the user confirm 3 random words upon creating a new wallet.

Side note: I do remember that when I was asked to confirm the 3 random words, that for one of the words I had written down "aquire" and that was rejected on the confirmation. So then I tried confirming the same 3 words it asked for and instead replacing my previous attempt with the suggested "aCquire" and this second attempt passed the confirmation.

So it is clear that I misspelled one of the 3 words the wallet setup asked me to confirm. Just based on those odds it is likely I messed up a few others. This is exactly why users should be required to confirm every seed word before even having access to your address.

The only thing I think I would be able to try is to manually go through each of the word entries now and try to find similar words that are only a character different from what I wrote down.

~$73 of crypto lost isnt the worst thing in the world but its frustrating that this could have been avoided if the setup process for this wallet was implemented with the same standards as most others use.

Based in Alberta, Canada, and we're looking for someone potentially willing to host our mining operation

It'll pull about 100kw-120kw depending on the algorithm we're hitting

Able to bring a genny and a trailer with all the paneling, at this point we're looking for a route to deploy ASAP

All we'd need is a 2" natural gas line hookup

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to get into mining and I see there's so many options out there, and then you even have IOT mining like helium etc - if electricity wouldn't be an issue, what would you get for around 1k to have around the house?

Or is 1k too small of a budget?

Thank you.

The contest will run for two weeks, from 2024-04-12 00:00 to 2024-04-25 23:29 UTC. The top 50 miners will share the prize.

During this competition, the top 50 miners by daily average IRON hashrate at f2pool will receive rewards in proportion to their hashrate contribution from the total prize pool of 5,000 IRON.

For details: HERE.

its interesting to hear your mining positions!

I’ve got a RX 580 used that I think may have been flashed with a mining bios. I’m totally unfamiliar with that process. But the machine won’t boot with this gpu. Is it possible the gpu has been flashed in away that marries it to a specific architecture or something used for mining that’ll make it no longer work in a standard motherboard? I cannot get the machine to boot with this card in it. But the card seems to power up. Anyway to unflash it?

Sometimes I peek through the recent block addresses. Can’t tell if this is extreme self control or an absolute absence of it and a desire to hold anyways lol

Hello,

I am getting very high (25%) invalid shares on the Pyrin share at the pool level, saying low difficulty. I am not getting invalid share in HiveOS. Using lolminer.

The rig is 12X 6600XT.

Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

I'll get myself a 5700 in a short while What's the best coin to mine with it?

I'll get a i3-12100F too what kind of coins I can mine with the most efficiency?
