RE: Bird Brained Idea: Claymore Miner - Minergate
Thank you for sharing your Linux troubleshooting insight. It'll certainly come in handy when I set up a second miner, probably using Linux to mine for the first time. ^~^
Linux is kinda fickle at times and can be a challenge, but hey, I'm an old dog and I can still learn new tricks. The good thing is there is a huge repository of information out there from some genius level geeks to guide you on your travels. I'm currently running Xubuntu 16.04 on both machines. Now that I got Claymore miner running I'm doing much better. I was sweating it and starting to get bummed out when in the end it was a simple config issue. It usually is.
I was stoked when I saw the 1st report of 604h/s with no modifications on the Rx 570. I've read some info on flashing the bios to get it near 1000h/s mining cryptonight by increasing clock speed and decreasing voltage but I'm gonna try and read more before I risk it. Clamored has some tweaks I can try first before I go to flashing bios's and risk trashing a $300 card. Good luck to you
So I'm looking at my dashboard and notice the top miner is mining at a rate of 380,000h/s. That's 600+ video cards at 300/card is 180,000 investment in equipment. For which it will take him 8 months to pay off the investment and the next year he'll make over 200,000. That's insane but I can see it now having a little experience.
