Good to know @Yannick99. Got my risers in today, should get everything else by Thursday. If I'm lucky my office location will let me run them there. Free electricity!
first, I opened the wallet like the tutorial said....., but i can't run the mining.bat (geth --rpc) because the system returns: "Fatal: Could not open database: the process can not access the file because it is being used by another process" (of course i suppose the wallet is using the file and geth can't open the database....
Can i start mining (nanopool.bat) letting just the wallet opened with out the geth? or i have to close the wallet and then run the mining.bat?
i try closing the wallet & running geth --rpc but the system returns a lot of error with gas used errors....... and never got sync.....
Hi, ultra-noob here I'm trying to mine with "--opencl-platform 0" instead of using "-G" because it says "No GPU with sufficient memory found" when trying with "-G" argument. Anyways I don't think I'm doing it right because this doesn't look right:
I think it's using CPU instead of GPU because the temps and load are really high on the CPU but really little on the GPU. And the hashrate is really low I guess. I really need help. Thanks!
******************************************************************************* I solved this if you are having the same problem try using "-G --opencl-device 0 --farm-recheck 200 --cl-local-work 256 --cl-global-work 8192 --opencl-platform 1"
Sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead. I'm trying to get this all running on Windows 10 as a test before going onto a dedicated rig. I seem to be stuck at the geth --rpc.bat stage. Whenever I go to run it, it doesn't stay active as I can see from the guide; it closes almost instantly.
Hi Phil. I felt sorry when I saw your video tomorrow and noted that nobody had posted here for a long time, so I made an account to give this rocking post new life xD
Killer advice you gave there on ETH, it would have been heaven to read it a while ago.
Well, thanks for all the insight you provide to the community. BTW, I'm looking for a chair if you're looking for a trader wingman

I just dropped $1400 on this setup:
ASRock H97M Ann.
Intel Celeron
4x XFX R9 390s (BB onsale $250 each)
2x Corsair 750W PSU
4x PCIE risers cards
(I already have a spare SSD and RAM module to throw in)
Estimated hash rate ~ 116 MH/s
I was torn between AMD and Nvidia honestly. (I know nvidia sucks atm for ether but via nicehash I'm getting $3-$4/day with my 970 & 1070)
I'm taking the leap and hoping Ethereum comes out more profitable.
Worse case if I'm not liking them I have a 30 day return ( i think!? Elite Status!) on them and can pick up 2x 1070s and stick to nicehash.
If I'm lucky my office location will let me run them there. Free electricity!
I'm running 3 cards on it till Friday when I send back the mobo.
Couldn't find the H97 prime deal anymore (guess the ran out?) So OutletPC is slowly shipping me one for a higher cost.

I have a question: I have two GPUs. In day time I use one of it. Is there any command I can write in .BAT file, so miner will use only one video card?
Thank you!
