  Last season in the Premier League brought a huge success for the both teams – Wolves and CoinDeal. The crypto exchange, thanks to this brave marketing step, has guaranteed himself value of £38,091,373 of gross exposure of the brand at the time of broadcasting in the media, gained popularity and new traders. Despite the recent slowdown in the crypto-market, our business is developing dynamically and this is possible, among other things, through cooperation with the Premier League team.

  pimpup 20190426: Fixed bug where pimp --add was showing only the xmrig miner on nvidia-only rigs. Updated miner.farm agent to set status = DEAD if AMD temp is 511. Updated bootdetect to detect and identify Matrox internal GPUs. Added debug/test/start/stop aliases to pimp app's help screen. Removed profile 1301 (sgminer-pascal is deprecated.) Updated agent to better collect stats from xmr-stak with multiple threads running on AMD GPUs. Updated xmr-stak.*.pcfg to save .txt files to /tmp for simpler troubleshooting. Updated miners: bminer 15.5.1, cryptodredge 0.18.0, gminer 1.38, lolminer 0.8.1, teamredminer 0.4.4, wildrig multi 0.15.6, xmr-stak 2.10.4, xmrig-nvidia 2.14.3. xmrig-cpu 2.15.3-beta was released, then reverted, due to significant undocumented api changes that will require some tooling before deployment.

  Monacoin is supported by sgminer-gm and ccminer, using the lyra2v2 algorithm. Here is an example of mining using the default MONA profile in ccminer.multi.pcfg (profile 2101). As you can see here we added the profile, then edited the ccminer.multi.pcfg to # comment out the existing profile, and then remove the # to uncomment the first MONA example. Then we tested the miner and watched the miner's screen. In this screen we can see it start, connect to the correct pool, correct algo, and it sees the 1060 in there. Then we see a few accepted shares, and we know it's working. Then i look on miner.farm and I see the stats are correct: Note, this is Farm View, in Dark Mode, with Compact view selected. Your plan may vary. Appears to be working properly in this case. Please let us know if you need any further help!

  Some commentary about the use of PCIe Splitters from our discord. Thanks!! DocDrydenn: Splitters (multiplexers, etc..) are used to make up for "missing" PCIe slots, not lanes. PCIe lanes are fixed and cannot be changed. Use of the P106-100's (and only on motherboards that support it) is the only way around the PCIe lane limits. AnjinMeili: all depends what you wanna mine I suppose, and how long you wanna wait to get mining you have to move data to the cards, and things like eth, you pay for that on start. Things like cryptoknight, you pay for it constantly. i find when I bring a cryptoknight miner up on cards behind a PCIe bridge, my rates are about the same as the math says it would be if I bridge 1 lane into 4, IE each card gets about 25% what it would have if it was in the slot alone. Its actually a bit worse, cause the bridge injects some extra bytes to block the messages to each lane its creating on the other side. Overhead and protocol costs... shrug. Plus, when you need todo updates and changes, you have to take the whole server offline anyhow. No way to rolling restart if you put it all on one board. Shrug. Easier imho to test new releases, play with new drivers, etc, when you spread things a bit wider with more rigs vs so many cards per rig. melt: in our testing we found that those pci splitters cause more problems than they solve, by reducing the stability of the system, and do not allow hashing certain algos, like cryptonight Hope this helps you!

  @hzumbach I can confirm that your key did not expire. Pro tip: Never say "did not work" or "does not work" to a support person - always provide the error or output. Sorry to hear you're having problems getting set up. There are a couple of solutions that we have found for this issue, I've outlined them below: Did you get the error: Max agents added to key? Clear your key rig count in Miner.farm Account page. Quick Video: Youtube Video Ensure that your key is entered correctly Your key will not successfully validate if there are any extra hidden characters in the key, or if the key is entered incorrectly. We recommend using ssh to paste the key in, and you can find those instructions on our forum post: Entering the Key for the First Boot. We also recommend using a notepad to ensure that you are getting a clean paste with the correct characters (sometimes changing the font also helps identify outlier characters or similar letters/digits). Reimage PiMP OS Errors with how the image was made can leave the image unwriteable. To solve this, you'll need to 'finish' the image burn correctly with 'eject' or 'close' commands in the writing software. If that doesn't work, you may want to try using a different write method altogether. Check out our information on How to Write the PiMP OS Image using Windows or Linux or Mac OSX. Use a different SSD/Disk If neither of the two above issues resolve your problems, it might be that the image target has excessive errors or a pattern of errors that the writing software can't avoid. To resolve this, try installing the image with a different SSD/Disk.

  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.
