  IMAGE 2.9.7 Released 2019-05-20 Changelog: Added audio support. Added nvidia support for 1660Ti, 20x0 series GPUs. (* Some miners - you will have to manually drop in some of them, but we can help you) Added rocm-smi and amdmemtweak utility tools for AMD overclocking and diagnostics. Added teleconsole and tmate for session-based remote SSH access at user discretion. Added Realtek 8812 network / wireless drivers. Upgraded to AMDGPU-PRO 18.50. Adds support for Hawaii/Tahiti, Vega, and RX 590 series AMD Radeon GPUs. Upgraded CUDA to 10.1. (10.0, 9.2 and 9.1 are provided for compatibility with older miners.) Upgraded NVIDIA drivers to 418.39. Upgraded to discord 0.0.9. Upgraded PolsarisBiosEditor to v1.7.2 (Supports RX590, new Hynix memory.) Upgraded pimpkey verification process and database creation to reduce verification issues. Updated all system packages, amdgpu firmware, pimp software, confs and miners to current as of 20190326. Removed teamviewer (not working). Note 1: Image size reduced almost 2GB. Note 2: It seems like 2.8.6 still works better for NVIDIA+AMD Mixed rigs. For 2.9.7 you will want to separate NVIDIA and AMD into separate rigs. Note 3: We don't quite have AMD Vega and AMD Radeon VII support yet. We are very sorry about this but it is very difficult and we have not had many requests for it specifically. Thanks for your patience.

  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.

  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!

  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.

  @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.
