  Hello, sorry for the trouble you are having. We switched off of the Paypal Recurring-style subscriptions in December. Now you can renew using our custom cart, which gives you more flexibility: Login Paypal and cancel the recurring subscription. Then go back to miner.farm and add time to your subscription. If, after completing these 2 steps, you have further issues, please contact us via discord or email and provide farmer # so we may look into it.

  We have had some folks wonder about how much network bandwidth mining uses, and some of the larger farmers have had some issues with networking at large scale - re connecting to pools, etc. Here's a recent post from our discord: Broometech said: Thanks again to you and the others for the ongoing support in this gpu saga. I really love Pimp, the usability (im slowely getting my head around linux) and the people here. :smiley: just wanted to let you know that the "proper" data usage (based on RX570 at 24.5mh/s - not that the card should vary data usage too much) is just under 1mb per card, per hour. So.. ie.. 6 card rig.. 6mb per hour x 24 = 144mb per day, = 1gb per week = 52gb per year. As a guide. I used 160mb on 12 cards in the 15hr test period. So that's 0.8888mb per card, per hour. ;) For me.. I solved my internet dropping out issue.. went to the local telco.. brought a Netgear NightHawk M2 modem with a prepaid sim card (180gb, 12mths expiry). Hooked it all up.. hasn't dropped out at all since (20+hrs and counting). :smiley: Simple. ;) Ps. Still haven't solved my more than 4 card per rig issue.. but i'm bout to call MSI.. wish me luck. note from dev team: This is due to an MSI mfg. defect requiring UEFI for 4G Decoding, he is attempting to use PIMP 2.6 as a workaround.

  This can get very complicated and skirt the edge of dangerous... AMD GPU's do not identify themselves in a unique way. Bus_ID's and GPU_ID's can change... You'd need a way to properly identify what GPU the BIOS is for or run the risk that someone could flash an incorrect BIOS. Good luck and I look forward to what you come up with.

  @melt Thanks mate. 😊. Yeah, ocd kicks in and it takes longer to do things, but they're usually done pretty right (aka overkill)..Lol. KVM switch works a treat. It auto switches if I reboot a rig, and 1 press to change rigs and view/control any of them. All HDMI, so pretty neat. Might rearrange a little when I have a couple free days... add another rig and space the cards a little more. I'll post pics if I do. 👍😎

  Hey pimps and thanks for using the PiMP referral program. Many of you recommend PiMP to your friends, co-workers, customers and family and we wanted to make sure that you share in the success of PiMP. We are by miners, for miners and we all want to succeed together. That being said, nobody likes spam or being annoyed by advertisements, and we work hard to prevent these things from bothering our own community forum, discord, and threads. Therefore we are always looking for a good balance between growing the PiMP community and making sure that it is done tastefully and respectfully, in a helpful way. Many forums will not allow you to post many links and/or banners, even in your own signature, and even if the post itself is very helpful or useful topic on that forum. It's sad, but everyone tries to fight spam in their own way. We want to make sure that we never fall into the category of being considered spammers. So... if you have your own discord, website, forum or community, obviously you are able to post as you see fit. We provide a referral url and track everything for you in your My Referrals section. We find that being helpful and showing new or troubled miners the way is the best chance of making their mining life better by getting them upgraded to PiMP. Helping others is also how we started this journey. Setting the example and being friendly and guiding others to success is one of our main visions for the PiMP community. Once the other miners see this they will want to hang out with us and share in our fun and success. Feel free to comment or question below if you have any questions about using the links and banners!

By DocDrydenn This has not been forgotten. I'm back on it and working hard to get it done. Stop by the PiMP Discord and I'll "leak" a few screenshots for ya. PIMP OS news: PiMP OS v2.9.7 is unofficially released. It has been tested and good to go. It includes fixes and updates to PiMP OS and comes with the newest AMD and nVidia Drivers (including CUDA 10). The reason this is an unofficial release, is due to not having the backend ready to serve CUDA 10 built miners. They can be manually installed, though. We'll get some updates out to support the new cuda10 miners for the GTX 20x0 cards as soon as we can. Major improvement to validation will prevent many new users from having to reimage to validate.
