i don't think everyone will upgrade to 1070, big farm with 1k gpu can not surely, afford to buy 400k worth of gpu just to have some more hash and less power
right now to double the diff you need to add something like 100k or more gpu, this is around $200(counting the 480 here not even the 1070) x 100k, which is $20M...no way it can be done when the new gpu will come out and not even some months after it
i guess there is a small time frame on which, with new gpu, small farm can have a huge profit, those month are july and august

I really hope Ethereum never goes PoS because when it does GPU mining is going to completely fall apart. Eth is gaining about 1TH per month and it doesn't look like it's slowing down.
We're going to be completely fucked when it does.

PoS doesn't really matter because there's a difficulty bomb in place so mining will get harder and harder until it's not profitable anymore:
Difficulty adjustment scheme
A lot of you have been wondering how we would implement a switch from PoW to PoS in time for Serenity. This will be handled by the newly introduced difficulty adjustment scheme, which elegantly guarantees a hard-fork point in the next 16 months.
It works as follow: starting from block 200,000 the difficulty will undergo an exponential increase which will only become noticeable in about a year. At that point (just around the release of the Serenity milestone), we’ll see a significant increase in difficulty which will start pushing the block resolution time upwards.
So, a year on, the network will continue to be useful for roughly 3-4 months, but eventually will reach an ‘Ice Age’ of sorts: the difficulty will simply be too high for anyone to find a block. This will allow us to introduce PoS, perhaps via Casper, if it proves itself.

The difficulty bomb might get changed to take longer to set in though if PoS/Serenity is not ready in time.
That's good to know... So about a year from when that post was written... Which is ~3 months from now.
Not sure why they went with increasing difficulty instead of reducing the block reward, they're essentially the same thing. Also rather disheartening that it's logarithmic with a steep drop off instead of a linear increase in difficulty or decrease in block reward. This means the market is currently deceptive and we're quickly approaching Armageddon. It wont be long before everything explodes.
Three months and we're back to earning $.50 per 1070 per day... if that. GPU mining never had this much hash on it, even back during the boom in 2013/14. Pretty sure everything is going negative. 3TH is a lot of mining power to displace.
I really hope they reconsider their current position in light of other alt coins and substantial growth of their coin, if only changing it to a linear increase in difficulty before going PoS. A lot of miners, the market, currently depends on Ethereum. The spice must flow.
1070 should give us more life in mining the same with 480, much more, the earning with their spec would be 2.5 x so even if the diff double, we would still make more than what we are making right now
not to mention that the global diff would decrease if the overall market will tank due to etheruem going out of the scene
but in my case i might be forced to shut down the rig, and wait for better time, one thing is sure for me... i will not sell the rig no matter what will be the profit, i'll simply turn it off...
Everyone is upgrading to 1070s... AMD still gets more hashrate according to current reports on 1080/1070s. Once hardware normalizes the difficulty goes down by people going out of business who have the most expensive power.
Sitting on hardware is a opportunity cost. It doesn't pay to have a $2000 piece of equipment laying around that depreciates over time. You essentially lose money by hanging onto it.
This all has happened before.
Ethminer.exe --help lists the options for --cuda-schedule.
You have to realize that Nvidia chips up until Pascal, have penalty when switching contexts of computing - or between computing and gaming
afaik, Pascal does have a penalty but way smaller.
AMD chips can switch almost for free between tasks - because GCN was deveoped with such scenarios in mind...
Too bad AMD never capitalised on this, except in cryptomining... and funny thing is, they were not targeting this niche at all
So "native" dual-miner will give way better results for NV. On AMD combining 2 non-native miners is more likely to give satisfying results
IMO

ABORIGINES DANCE IN MY 970 RIG?
OK, there is voodoo magic in my nVidia rig and it makes things all better? WTF? What precisely are you saying here? --scryptr
Simply put, its easier to do make it work.
Hence for Nvidia, a dedicated effort to make dual miner will give better more consistent results than simply ruinning 2 different miners and playing with intensities.
And what runs on one MB+video+driver combo may not work on other
FOR NVIDIA A DUAL MINER WOULD WORK BETTER--
But it might be harder to code the miner. That is what I am getting, at least.
Genoil says that his Ethminer has a "--cuda-schedule" command line flag that may make it easier to run 2 miners (ethminer/ccminer) concurrently. I don't understand it well, but the code involved may be a key to an nVidia dual-miner.
Thanks for your response. --scryptr
My fork has a --cuda-schedule flag that allows changing the blocking /syncing behaviour. It may help when running it alongside ccminer.
BLOCKING / SYNCING BEHAVIOR--
I 'd like to ask you for a better explanation. How does a miner set and adjust this feature? Is there documentation that explains this feature? --scryptr

yeah don't sell it, a new coin may come and you need to be ready.
it happened so many times during the last 3 years that I've learnt the lesson

is there any efforts to make a dual GPU miner for nvidia like claymore for dcr and eth
Very Intersting , i have gtx970 , but buy 1070 very soon .
