This video will get you up and running , just remember its not a get rich quick system but if you already have the gpu/graphics card then its free money minus electricity cost.

I GOT AS FAR AS lolminer 1.31
But it shows 27 trojans when i scanned with Virus Total :leaving:
video is very good but i just do not trust this lolminer 1.31 from github
is there something safe to use instead ????
Watching this thread with interest. :D
I'm still using an older version , will upload it tomorrow night it is probably a false positive from youre a/v.Quote:

That is a bit much for a False positive ???
i would appreciate if you could upload your Version as i do not wanna take chances with that amount of unknown $hit in 1 program
if i do this i'd rather be doing it the right way without Trojans or Spyware etc......cheers !!
Here is the version that ive been using for 2 months no problems with it , but i still have a feeling its still going to flag it up due to what the program is .
i use trex miner, it to will flag up on your virus software, they say its to protect the code from reverse engineering.
profits about to take a further dump on 4th of August :(
gpu prices have now returned to normal which is a good sign the glory days are over. Far to many new gpu's now crippled when mining eth so be careful what you buy if you want to mine eth.
my 2080ti making about £100 in eth a month with about £20 quid in electricity cost, its not great but it requires no intervention. Compare that the Helium miner which made me £1000 in 30 days, cost £350 quid and uses pennies of electricity per month.
noticed my gpu temps are in the 70's even though the ambient temp is 20-22, similar to april when the gpu temp were 58-60 so ive took the card apart. The thermal paste has dryed out on the gpu and the heat sink is glogged with dust/fluff so out of mining action for a few days till i get some thermal paste :(
My old founders 1080ti had easy access to the heat sink so was easy to keep clean, the 2080ti though needs a full tear down to get to it. what a ****e design.
Keep an eye on those temps, and if you can access the heat sink with out disturbing the thermal paste and pads keep it clean.
I had pretty much similar problem with a new 3090 after 5/10 min it would drop from 120 m/s to about 70 m/s even with side case removed as soon as temp went up it throttled the card , looking online there was a lot of people with the same problem with the 3090 lots of so called fix's, i found none that worked.Quote:

dang 3090, did you get that a a decent price? Some manufacturers have known issues once the card is under stress. new Pads and paste normally fixes it but it will never gonna get down to water block temps.Quote:

when ETH was over $4k a few moths back 3090's were selling for $3k. crazy.Quote:

I have been dithering about buying a new PC for some time, as mine is quite old now and not Windows 11 friendly, even though still quite a powerful computer, I have taken the plunge and have a new and more powerful one arriving tomorrow. It includes an RTX 3090 graphics card. I will probably take that out and swap it with another computer which has a 1080 Ti to use for mining. If it only gives me some extra cash to treat my grandson every christmas, I will be happy. I have read all the horror stories regarding mining taking it's toll on cards, so will be looking to under-volt it in the hope that it solves the issue.
For ETH you underclock them, apart from the memory which benifits from an over clock. Some other coins need more power to mine efficiently.Quote:

just checking eth transaction fees. $68 ffs. Does nice hash do free coinbase transfers? might be worth switching to nicehash even though the mining reward will be lower you should save that in fee's
use hiveos and 2miners.com they do batch payouts (low fees) and its low payout threshold,
i'll get payout at $500 sux to lose $58 in eth fee's. Puts me off buying any NFT's also
Any idea what is the best prog to underclock and overclock the memory/Quote:

old 2080ti hashing 60.5/61mh @ 143w
I will be using an EVGA 3090 XC3ULTRA which arrives tommorrow. I will put it in an old computer which isn't used much. It has a powerful power supply.Quote:

running a single card in a spare pc isnt very effective on power saving. My 2080ti happily runs in my main PC. Im not a gamer so it mines 24/7Quote:

buying cards for mining still isnt cost effective atm, everything is either over priced or the cards are LHR restricted. there are work arounds with dual mining but still not as efficient as none lhr
Same Gpu im running , hope you got plenty of cooling found it throttles very fast as soon as temps start to rise maybe i got a dodgy one , i water cooled it and sits at 50' making 118 mh/s it will go higher if you want to push it but even water cooled they it gets very hot and crashes as soon as room temps start to rise.Quote:

I believe that a bios update cures some of the issues, obviously not the poor soldering.
Fingers crossed.
I didn' buy this card just for mining, I bought a new computer system which came with this card.
Hopefully it will be ok , the early problem was with the thermal pads if i remember correct.Quote:

Do you use a computer purely for mining or the same one you would use on a daily basis?Quote:

2070 is in the top slot ,was thinking at the time it would not would restrict the mining on the 3090 but does still affect it .
Sorry used daily on 24 hours with cctv , could not turn the photo but you will get the idea :D
hash rate drops a little while using the pc for browsing/youtube etc but returns normal once im not using it. I only shut the miner down when using photoshop/lightroom.
for the most part its ticking away earning 24/7, over the months its soon adds up. Anyone with a gpu sat idle is letting $$$ pass them by.
Evga were offering purchasers aditional thermal pads as they knew there cards had issues.
Some sites have sneaky miner code hidden in them so when your browsing they are stealing your hashing power, only in small amounts but if they do this to millions off users it will add up. Theres a chrome extension called nocoin which stops that though.
Eth at $4k to hodl or sell, thats the dilemma.
How long did that take?Quote:
