Like pbfarmer said, RVN looked significantly sexier just a few days ago. It's also a very fresh algo addition in TRM as well with the new release, and imho the first and only public progpow implementation for AMD so far that can compete with Team Green, especially for the 7nm gpus like VIIs and Navis.
Right now, and if you trust whattomine and with some ballpark nrs for $0.06/kwh, a VII doing 80 MH/s ethash at 180W and 40 MH/s kawpow at 300W gets you $1.26 net for kawpow and $1.04 net for plain ETH. Nicehash ethash says net $1.21, but imho it's hard to realize the full 100% of your hashrate on Nicehash due to rejects. Now, change those $0.06/kwh to $0.10/kwh and it most definitely shifts into ethash being the best choice. My point is more that there are situations where kawpow is a rational choice, but yeah, for most people there are other factors to take into account (power cost, heat/cooling etc).
It’s not the 1st for AMD - there are at least 2 more before theirs!
Also, don’t forget 2% TRM fee for their fresh algo addition compare to their ETH fee - probably more unless we actually see their source code!!
Yeah! And all you dum-dums should still be using Friendster/Myspace, AOL dial-up, and horse-and-buggies while you're at it, cuz they were first too!
Also, forget about the fact that you can easily verify reported hashrates - this guy says you're prob paying hidden fees, so it must be true.
/s in case it wasn't obvious
