As far as I know there aren't ant 1080TI mining GPUs... right? Or am I missing something?

not yet, the rumour is that they might reveal in the next few days, i guess to try to get miners to buy them before they reveal the next gamign card.
But the points above still stand, resale, warrenty, and fucnctionality.

Unless they are significantly cheaper i think people prefer the chance to go for the gaming cards.

I might pick up a couple of its true, jsut to add to my mini rig and then wait for the next gen ones.

Nvidia will sell mining GPUs soon

We already have mining GPUs and those are not used even by the miners due to very high prices in comparison with regular cards, not to mention their ridiculous warranty period of only few months and very limited resale value  Grin

If they intend to go down that path again then no thanks.

Also in the EU there are strict laws that require that seller must give basic warranty of at least 12/24 months so this cards have been available only for short period of time.

You sure that they cant sell it as oem and put 3 months warranty on it/say its refurbished or second hand or what ever they call it.I ask because in my county you can find those mining gpus only with 3 month warrranty(europe but not in eu)

Yes, it's generally complete nonsense to take such cards here. Not only that they are sticks and trimmings, which then you will not sell to anyone in the case of anything, so also 3 months of guarantee this in our business is just the height of stupidity, to agree to this!  Wink

It depends on price. If it will be 25-35% cheaper - i`ll buy it. Even when you are buying 12 months guarantee cards - you have 45 days guarantee repair period. I`ll better change coolers by myself, then waiting guarantee. One way to use guarantee - when the card is really broken, non-perear, but i haven`t seen it yet.

Seems so, the time is right if you are in the market for used cards or rigs, but be aware of high roi even if you biught rigs with cheap price, todays 1-1.5 usd per gtx 1080ti is very low and no one knows if there would be more ernings within half of the year..
I think they will. Maybe not so fast so hodling is only solution for now.

I am sure they can try to sell something like bulk vs retail.
Bulk can only be used if you you have some kind of service in your shop and you are replacing parts.

There are many ways to bend the law but still, fact is that cards like that cost almost the same as regular ones and warranty is not 36 months but only 3 months.

Many people would buy these cards if their prices were at the right level with their warranty.

Sp-mod nist5 isn’t free? It’s packaged with a guiminer, and it’s also on a bunch of forums.

Best Algo/hashrate:Nist5 92hasharte on 100% power ( 96.3 on 120%)

The nist5 sp-mod Does 92 MHASH @ 80% power

Sorry, we use free software. Move on.
It`s simple. Someone using brains and google and someone "use free software" and crying why profit is moving down. I often read even in this thread interesting and useful words but it`s useless without thinking.

B = reward in coins from the found block ( We take this value from any pool where the coin is mining, or from the first post, if the developer pointed it there  Wink )

From my tests, not a lot of yiimp pools give the reward value in their API. bsod.pw does it, but many more don't. Or did I miss a specific file providing all the rewards from the pool ?

Yes. According to the API, a small number of pools give out these data. There are no files, just look at ourselves, and we put all this stuff into our scripts or tables. Most likely, it's a pity)

One more silly decision. The price was so high, that ROI became about 1-1.5 years for dummies even at December profit. And of course it gave to move down. I`m waiting this rigs now. With a half-price or less. Smiley

If you already have the rigs, and it is breakeven, then keep on mining as the price of coins will rise again.
Surely! While electicity costs less than profit - I will not stop. And will try to buy more cards at the lowest price.

Nowinstock shows cards coming in and staying in stock the next step is for that to continue and then as buyers stop paying the higher prices they will eventually come down.  I suspect it will be a while as in 2-3 weeks before we get to that point.  If the market has a big run up again though that may change things.

Used cards and rigs coming up for sale as more people liquidate.  I suspect a lot of those people got in to mining December/January and are now trying to get out in a hurry since they foolishly assumed the market would stay way up like it was.  And some of them owe debts on their equipment.

Yes you are right, I have seen many people selling their cards or complete rigs that they acquire in Dec 2017 / Jan-Feb 2018.
Same exact time that hardware gone up by 30% and profits went down by that same percentage.

I think 1080 ti not better choice for GPU
Not better - I agree.
Simply THE BEST!
ROI is rather poor, 1060(3) is the best. Just maximum cost and hashrate. It`s the best choice if you have hundreds of cards and have no place for them.
If you ignore ETH, 1060/3 are about as good as 1070Ti, 1080 and 1080Ti on price/hash. Price per slot is also a factor - you can build a 6x1080Ti rig instead of 18x1060 and still get similar earnings.
The only upside of 1060 is the ETH hashrate, assuming that you get the good memory. The 3GB effective barrier is within months for 1060/3 (check with claymore's --benchmark), so after that you'll be forced to mine other coins.
I don`t know more silly thing then mining ETH. Or, sorry, NiceHash yet. Price per slot is only one-time factor. Place may become a problem. Yet, it`s becomes easier to get 1 PSU for norm price.
