I should have updated the thread but I have fixed the issue. I am monitoring and controlling temps using MSI afterburner and NVIDIA inspector. I'm running factory core clock and 500MHz boost on the Memory Clock. It's a 4" exhaust tube. The case is a 4U server case from Newegg.com. Essentially I added two fans at the entrance of the tubing, and a fan on top of the graphics cards to create a flow for the air. It definitely improved the airflow, but I don't believe my main problem was overheating, after some troubleshooting I found Nicehash miner 1 has crashing issues that are fixed in Nicehash miner 2, as well as some mining algorithms exhaust my 4GB of ram. However, that being said, I'm finally running non-stop without issues or overheating. I was thinking of having an tube that brings fresh air in to the front, and have a cycle of air being pumped in from the outside and exhausted right back out. However, I just purchased a box fan, put it in the window, and it keeps my room very cold. (Gotta love living in the mountains :))

Looking for the lowest price I can get for a max staker. Trusted users heavily preferred.

Not sure if this is useful, but $40 per carfax is ridiculous. I have been trying to loophole it and I figured out a way. Decided to post here to save others if you don't know how to do this already. https://www.carfax.com/company/free-carfax-report Insert random email/password It will redirect to your 'garage', click add a car Insert vin number of the car you are thinking of buying Boom, click on service history and see the full carfax history Repeat starting at step 3

No surprise there.

As a small update I've got all graphics cards online and tuned and I'm pushing $15-16 a day. Problem is the rig dies randomly. Sometimes after 12 hours, sometimes 2 hours, sometimes a few minutes. It really seems like an overheating issue which wouldn't surprise me considering I'm trying to do this in an enclosed rig. I added two more case fans inside the case and I've got them all on full blast so we'll see how this goes. Dunno if anyone has any input on how to keep it cooler. I have a booster fan on the exhaust to help push the air out, however I was wondering if I should turn it around and blow air into the rig. I live on top of a mountain so the air is really cool with low humidity. Still feels risky to me.

Two seperate things. Think of "Ripple" as a company and "XRP" as a coin. XRP can be traded just like Bitcoin and can be just as anonymous from that point of view. Ripple, however, has technology called "RippleNet" that will allow banks and financial institutions to benefit off blockchain technology by using the "XRP" coin to make transactions. It's actually quite complex, it took me a lot of research to wrap my head around the basic concepts of blockchain technology and Ripple/XRP and I'm still a noob. https://ripple.com/use-cases/banks/ https://ripple.com/use-cases/payment-providers/ https://ripple.com/use-cases/digital-asset-exchanges/ https://ripple.com/use-cases/corporates/

Bitcoin supporters see a currency that can allow for very fast transactions at little cost. Because of this they believe Bitcoin will become a direct competitor to large financial institutions and banks because bank transfers are so slow and costly (3-7 business days and tons of fees for international transfers). However bitcoin transactions cannot be modified and offer no protection for buyers. It is also completely separate from financial institutions and would need to somehow compete and beat giant banks and financial institutions. Ripple on the other hand is specifically designed to be plug and play for banks and financial institutions to use. It has features no otsher cryptos wouldn’t dare to have but are common for banks (like the ability to edit/update transactions). At the same time it still provides fast, cheap and secure transactions with an ability to scale unlike other cryptos. Tl;dr bitcoin supporters want to replace banks, ripple wants to modernize banks.

Bitcoin isn't useful yet in the sense that to buy it you still have to pay fees and a lot of places will say it's worth more than it is. Basically if you buy Bitcoin with a credit card you'll get 93% of what you pay for. It kinda sucks especially considering how "low fees" is supposed to be a strength of crypto. There are other cryptos that are better and smarter than Bitcoin but bitcoin is the most popular. But hey, it's worth what people are going to pay for it and that could very well be $4000, $.0005 or $1M. Bitcoin's biggest use is for blackmarket transactions where you don't want your transactions to ever be reversed or give away your identity. I personally see Ripple as the best crypto there is.

I have 5 overclocked right now. Having some issues overclocking core clock but I think it's due to overheating. I just bumped the memory clock up 500MHz and have been getting the best consistent results without crashing for mining. Might push to 700.

Yeah, I'm not any trading expert but I have a few friends helping me out. Take everything I say in this post with a grain of salt but I'll try and explain what I'm attempting to do. It seems to be working in my 1 month of testing. I see Ripple as a good long term investment but I'm too impatient to to put money in and wait. So, I am trying to increase the number of XRP I have. I don't think it will shoot up soon though so I'm trading the rises and falls. I do my best to predict rises and falls but I trade pretty conservatively. Mostly just keep all my money in ripple and when it gets to a number I think is too high I'll sell and wait for it to dip again and then re-buy in an attempt to grow the number of ripple I have. I won't stay out for too long though and sometimes I end up losing some but overall I am increasing the number of xrp I own. I figured if I was going to trade I may as well trade a coin with a likely uptrend (in my opinion) .

Well I've been trading crypto's and just want a way to build my stack. I make a pretty decent return trading so I'm hoping I can double or triple what I mine. On top of that, I'm looking at it differently. The cards themselves still have a lot of value, and aren't diminishing in value very quickly. If something happened I'm sure I could sell the parts and get them back. I look at it as profit being Revenue - Electricity - Diminished value of cards. At $250/mo I would make my full investment back in a bit over a year I believe. But that's with 5 cards on stock settings. Configured correctly and with all 6 cards I think I could be in the mid 300s and make my money back quicker. I either wanted to throw $3500 into cryptocurrency as an investment/for trading OR make this mining rig and consistently invest and when mining dies/becomes not worth it I'll sell the rig and invest whatever the rig is worth.

Figure $2/day per graphics card. Maybe I can push it up to 2.2-2.4 if I'm lucky. I have 5 cards for now, 6 hopefully eventually. Electricity is going to depend on how low I can get my power usage but no more than 650W from the wall @ .1027/kwh calculates to about $48/month and $56/mo with 6 cards. All conservative numbers at this point. Estimating $250/mo in profit conservatively with 5/6 cards.

Got some parts today for the custom cooling! Dryer vent window insert: Hooked it up to the back of the computer and put a fan inside the case to blow the air into the tubing. Got it installed, added a booster fan to the tubing to help push the air out. It's finished. Only problem is the motherboard has a dead PCIE slot and I can only run 5 of the 6 graphics cards. I'm waiting on the new motherboard to come in. I used insulation tape to cover all holes/creases so that all of the air is pushed through the exhaust. There is a lot of pressure coming out of the exhaust and it's just spewing hot air out the back. It works! Little heat in my room due to the server. I will test overnight and see how hot it gets. Noise is low. Very happy with the result. I'm only pushing $10/day with no overclock but I have been able to push it to $12/day with an overclock. Will see how reliable/consistant I can make that. Let the attempt at an ROI begin.

There is always a way to make "more" money. Anyway, a lot of people already have GPU's for gaming. Why not make money from it. Plus, you can do both. No effort involved, Nicehash can be configured to only run while you're away and to start on startup. Configure it once, never think about it again.

I mean of course there are companies designed to do this, but it doesn't mean you can't make money using your own computer's resources. It works. My PC with a 980ti is capable of $2-3/day or up to $5/day depending on the price of mine-able coins.

Yeah he lives and breathes litecoin and believes in it himself. Always a good sign. I should clarify my price prediction is based on pure speculation on what I believe to be a possibility as I see a 5-10B market cap attainable for coins without as much publicity but strong tech.

It does, slightly. MSI afterburner can help throttle the power useage and with some fine tuning you can make the same amount per day @ lower power useage. Get nicehash, run a benchmark, fill this out. Calculate costs/profit. https://www.nicehash.com/?p=calc

Fair warning, it will heat your room. Very good for those in colder climate, not so much for those in warmer climates.

Thanks for the response, continue to provide any evidence of what you lost if you can find it.

Litecoin I do like. Some good tech there but since the price is determined by what people are willing to pay for it, it wont see a bitcoin-like rise anytime soon simply due to publicity. 100-500 is attainable but beyond that would be a stretch.
