FIRST 22 DAYS
This adventure started on April 9, 2021, with the first objective of recovering the investment made in the GPU. Arriving on the 30th of April, I already have the first impressions of how this path is beginning to be traveled.

So let's go to this week's chart:

In this last week of April, the average speed accepted was slightly higher than the previous week, with 48.28MH/s. However, the average profitability was about 20% lower, just 0.00007916 BTC/24h, compared to the previous average of 0.00009840 BTC/24h. I estimate that this was the result of the devaluation of Bitcoin earlier in the week, which may have caused a devaluation of the hash value.

So, at the end of the first 22 days, I managed to add about 9.5% of the amount invested in the GPU. If this pace is maintained, I hope that within 7 to 8 months, the investment is recovered. Soon, I will present more details on these numbers.

HOW IS CHIA
Over the course of this week, I set up 5 plots. The creation of plots is a slow process, which requires a lot of RAM and disk with 100% operation. As I am using the computer I use daily, I had to schedule the creation of plots for a period when I used the PC less, or did not need as many resources. Even so, allocating about 4GB RAM and plotting directly on an HDD, it took about 20 hours to create the plot. I had to adjust my way of working, but luckily I managed to manage the situation, without major stress. Tongue

During this period, I realized that the Chia network is growing very fast. When I created the first plot, the estimate for mining a block was 4 years. With the second, it went on for 2 years, and it was only on the 5th plot that the forecast went on for 1 year. In this perspective, apparently with 5 or 6 more plots, the estimate would be only 6 months, but no. When I wrote this post, with the 5 plots, the estimate was again at 2 years old. In other words, the network is growing at a pace where it would require having to allocate more than 12TB in plots, in order to start having a reasonable probability of finding a block. This is not feasible for now. I'm just going to keep the program open, without creating plots, because you never know if I'm lucky enough to mine a block anyway. Roll Eyes

Either way, you can see how things work, and there may soon be news regarding mining pools. At that time, it will be easier to get into the scheme and better manage the situation. Now it is time to listen, and understand how the market will react when the currency is launched in the trade markets.

FIRST WEEK OF MAY 2021
After the month of April, having gone well, the beginning of May is being interesting. The value of the hash has been increasing daily, with values above expectations. It would be great to stay that way, but this is truly a roller coaster ride.

In the first days of May, the accepted average speed remained stable at 47.92 MH/s. The daily average earnings was quite good, 0.00009402 BTC/24h, it was not the best I have had so far, but it was the second best.

The graph:

With this result, I have 13% of the goal reached, and if this pace is maintained, within 197 days I reach 100%. I have been preparing an Excel file, with more details on these numbers, which I will soon share.

BEYOND THE OBJECTIVE
The main objective of recovering the GPU investment, will end in a few months, but we have to open the horizons and, prepare / analyze / search, other things related to the crypto world, so as not to miss the boat.

I had already spoken here, about the Chia project, that at the moment I am less active while waiting for the pools with the official protocol to appear. As a curiosity, at the moment with the 5 plots I have, in 4 years I will mine a block. The network is growing very fast.

In the meantime I have been analyzing the Helium network in detail, to check whether or not I make the investment. Currently all hotspots are exhausted and delivery is scheduled for the end of the year. As a reduction in the reward value is expected around that time, the investment has to be very well calculated. In my area, there are not yet many hotspots and probably if I do, I will only be able to connect to two or three other hotspots. So it has to be well studied. But, in the analysis that I have done, it seems to me to be a project with good growth potential and it will certainly appreciate. The community in Portugal seems to be growing and that there is already a good number of hotspots ordered, which will soon start to arrive and increase the network. I'll go with you.

April 16, 2021

FIRST WEEK
In the first week, I monitored everything, to see if I was on the right path towards the goal. Since I have been using it I mentioned Nicehash's overclock media configuration, and I had to see if it was a good configuration or not.

As it is my personal PC, which I use for work and laser, it is normal for the hash to vary. In this average configuration, over the course of this week, the hash varies between 45~47mh / s, with consumption ~107w. Making an average of 46.61MH/s, with a rejection rate of 0.34%, earning an average of 0.00006880 BTC/24h, equal to 3.63€/24h (value the date of the original post).

The graph:

Graph analysis notes:
- On the night of the 9th, I was mining with the high setting, but during the day I was without any setting. At noon the performance dropped, because I had more use of the PC.
- From the 10th, I was always with the average configuration.
- At the end of the 14th, I had a crash because I had to update the PC, being stopped for about 5/10 minutes.
- At the end of the 15th, I had more activity on the PC, and I also felt a slight drop.

In short, in the first week, I think it was positive, with profitability within the expected values.

April 24, 2021

SECOND WEEK - NEW APPROACH
After the first week within expectations, in the second week a comment on the forum, made me think better about the strategy to be used. In the first week, I used NiceHash's "media" setting, which seemed to have a good hash / consumption ratio, but it might not be worth it. Analyze what he did was:

Quote from: hiroshidw on April 14, 2021, 10:28:53 AM

Depending on your energy cost, it is more advantageous to have 49MH / S at 119W than to have 47MH / s at 109W, try to calculate right to optimize your gains, because in case you are losing almost 5% of hashrate and saving almost 10% of energy, however if this energy expenditure is said to be equivalent to R $ 10 at the end of the month and your loss of hashrate is equal to R $ 50 per month, you are losing money.

Based on this analysis, I decided to try and see the results, using the "high" setting, provided by NiceHash. This change was possible, it increased my daily earnings by almost 50%, compared to the previous week.

In the first week I made an average of 0.00006880 BTC/24h, and this week 0.00009840 BTC/24h. Great result.
But was it just because of the configuration changes?

BERLIN UPDATE & BITCOIN VALUE
In the second week of this adventure, the Berlin update, on the Ethereum network, followed shortly. By coincidence or not, even with the "media" configuration, I felt a slight increase in average daily earnings after this update. Days later, there was a devaluation of Bitcoin, over the course of this second week. This combination of factors, updating Berlin, devaluation of Bitcoin and adjustment in the configuration, achieved greater profitability over the second week.

Unfortunately, with the devaluation of Bitcoin, the first objective of this adventure (recovering the investment in the GPU) will take longer. However, as profitability has increased, there have been no changes in the initial estimates. Especially because, possible devaluations, should be considered when making these investments.

In addition, it makes me change the way I look at numbers. Instead of looking at the value earned in €, I now look at the value earned in BTC. Thus, the goal is to mine the same amount of Bitcoins spent on the purchase of the GPU. That is to say, that in two weeks I managed to mine 7% of that amount.

EXTRA FOR ADVENTURE
And since I'm here reporting my adventure in mining, with GPU, why not add "another type" mining?
This week, I discovered the Chia Network, a currency that uses "space proofs" to validate transactions. In other words, the farm (the term used for mining this currency) is the use of disk space, which is allocated to the Chia network. After analyzing the project and about its farm system I thought: why not allocate, at least 1TB that I have free, to try my "luck"? I will then test.

I will explain, according to what I understand, how it works:
To farm, you need to create plots, which are reserves of space used for the validation of blockchain blocks. The size of each plot can vary according to the options defined by the user to make the most of the disk space. The standard size of each plot is +/- 110GB. Thus, the more plots we have, the greater the probability of winning XCH, since at this moment mining is only solo, where each block yields 2XCH. At this moment there is a 50% probability, for those who have 2TB on the network, to be able to earn 2XCH/month.

To create a plot you need temporarily 300GB of space (plots K-32 = 110GB), RAM memory (+/- 4GB) and good processing capacity, and it takes between 6 to 20 hours to create it. It is recommended to use an SSD disk to create the plot and then the 110GB plot is saved on the HDD disk. For all this, the Chia wallet is used. The operation of the portfolio is quite simple, as well as the creation of the plot.

That said, I installed the wallet, and it took almost 8 hours to synchronize with the network (consuming almost 100% CPU processing), and the date of this post was creating my first plot. Not having much more details to present yet.

I can say that to "assemble" this whole structure, you have to have a lot of patience! It takes hours. So, even if you don't win anything on the ground, maybe you can try to win something when the pools come up.

Final note, about this project, it is still facing launch, and you can find out more details here:

OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this topic is to explain what my mining experience has been like since April 2021. I will try to be as frank as possible, without hiding the numbers, because that is the only way it is possible to understand what pays off or not, since throughout the process I had to rely on figures to suppose. I hope this topic will be of help to me, to collect opinions and ideas, and come to help others who also want to enter this adventure.

HOW EVERYTHING STARTED
The first experience I had in mining, remote in 2013, with an AMD Radeon HD 7770 graphics card, which I managed to receive some satoshis. It had a super low hash capacity, which generated a mere 0.05 BTC every 15/20 days, which at the time was considered very little ... if we knew what I know today, it had not stopped ... Roll Eyes

But like most users, I said that because of ASICs, it was no longer worth it to undermine with GPU, I stopped after a few months. But the idea of mining was not put aside, and occasionally the ASIC equipment used and other forms of mining were observed, in the expectation of finding something useful, without a large investment. Until we get to 2021.

2021 - ADVENTURE BEGINS
Due to the appreciation of Bitcoin, the funds I had saved over the years, allowed me to try to invest in a GPU. And I heard again: "With the changes in ETH, it will no longer compensate for undermining with just a GPU ...". But I thought, where have I heard this? Roll Eyes

Even so, after doing the math, I realized that the investment could be recovered in 6/8 months and, if it weren't for this goal, I might never buy such an expensive GPU, to work and play. So, I wanted to enter this adventure. But how?

CHOICE PROCESS
Due to the Bitcoin appreciation, finding a GPU for sale is a real adventure: all sold out or very high prices. A GPU with a PVP of 400 €, costs 2 or 3 times more. So how to do it?

The first thing I did was to establish a maximum amount to spend. How I was going to use some Bitcoin I had to buy the GPU, and I am not rich, neither with € nor BTC (I stopped mining in 2013 because it allegedly did not yield ... 0.05BTC/fortnight... it was misery... Cry

), had to define a BTC plan, based on GPU prices. With this analysis, I defined 800~900 € of investment. Now was to find a GPU in stock for this plafon.

I started to look in the computer stores for what was in stock, and to check the potential profit. Since my PC is always on, it was easy to analyze cost vs. performance, because I only had to add the cost of the GPU.

After using several sites, some very simple and others very confusing, the site Minerstat was the most practical and gathered the information I needed. Calculates the cost and possible profitability, in an easy way because it lists the largest number of good GPUs to mine.

Between what was in stock and profitability, I chose GPU Nvidia RTX 3060. By my accounts, based on the value of Bitcoin at the time, I recovered the money from the purchase in 6/7 months.

FIRST SCARE
After choosing the GPU, I started researching the mining process through the RTX 3060. I started to be apprehensive, for reading comments that the board is limited by the factory for ETH mining, where the greatest profitability would come from. This meant that the investment would last twice as long, that was not a good thing.

Fortunately, I read articles about a driver, who had "accidentally" escaped (these things, we all know, are always accidental) from NVIDIA that removed the lock. And after several reports here in the forum to be confirmed and other tips - direct connection to PCIe x16 and the screen - I was more happy.

THE PURCHASE
After this analysis, which took 2/3 days, I had to check the stock availability in the different stores again. In the morning I had stock... the night was gone. Shocked

It took three attempts to buy.

The first attempt, buy the ZOTAC GeForce® RTX 3060 Twin Edge OC 12GB GD6 - price of 870€. It was in stock at the end of the day, but the other day in the morning, it was already sold out. I was initially frustrated, but then I found articles with negative feedback on this model. Let's go to a new survey.

I found it in another store, the Asus GeForce RTX 3060 Dual OC 12GB GDDR6 card - price 849€, make the purchase. But, I got the idea that it wasn't going to work. I went back to searching and in another store I found the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 EAGLE OC 12GB model - same price. I made the purchase, but I chose a payment option to pay within 2 days, the GPU being reserved during this time.

This was all on a Saturday, I had to wait until Monday to see if everything was going well. My suspicions were confirmed, the purchase of the Asus model was canceled and the money was returned to me. I advanced to the Gigabyte model, making the payment. But as he had 2 days of reservation, he might not be lucky. Fortunately, a few hours later, I had confirmation that the purchase was made. I already have a new GPU! Cheesy

DELIVERED
After 2 days, the GPU is delivered at home! Cool

And now? I can't do anything! Embarrassed

My goal was to replace my old Radeon HD 7770, with a new GPU, to work, play and mine. Despite having a good monitor, he is 8 years old and uses VGA input. The RTX 3060 only has DisplayPort and HDMI inputs. That is, I forgot to buy the HDMI-VGA adapter. Lips sealed

The next day, I went to buy a 15€ adapter, to connect the new GPU to the screen.

In short, I bought the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 EAGLE OC 12GB for 849€, plus the adapter for 15€, with a total of 864€.

ASSEMBLY & FIRST IMPRESSIONS
With all the material, play with the mount. Open the PC case, take the opportunity to clean, remove the old GPU and mount the new one. But, it couldn't be that easy… Grin

This GPU is larger, the hard drives were located that does not allow the installation of the GPU. I had to unmount the hard drives, put them in another location, and install the card. Something that took 5 minutes, took 30 minutes... Grin

Turning on the PC, the first thing I do is install the driver, which I had previously downloaded (driver I am using):
https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AImZg23q45RZKlI&cid=DCF42BCB3A71AAE5&id=DCF42BCB3A71AAE5%21129862&parId=DCF42BCB3A71AAE5%21129818

I installed MSI Afterburner, which I had never used before. And I begin to explore the potential of the GPU, even before it undermines. As I usually say, it is to move that one learns, I abused in the tests. Lips sealed

I adjust a configuration, apply, and ... PC to. Reset to PC. Fortunately, everything is fine.
We are ready to mine... but how?

April 10, 2021 (2nd Part)

START MINING
As in 2013, I already had mining and, over time, I have been attentive, I knew how I could start. But, recognizing that things change, I had to get a better look at how things are going. Between advice here on the forum and research, I have three possible options, to achieve my first objective (to recover the investment, according to Bitcoin values), which are: to use NiceHash, to use a multipool, or to directly mine ETH.

Directly mine ETH, it’s no longer useful (but I’ll one day try it out). As I want to recover the investment, due to the high rates of ETH, much of the mining was lost in rates and exchange rates. Something for later.

In relation to multipools, there are several options, but it always involves a longer learning curve to configure well. It may have a higher return, but it would also run a greater risk of delaying the goal.

So, I chose NiceHash. Quick to set up and get the GPU to generate revenue right away.
Mining now begins. It is to remain attentive and always look for the best options, for good profitability.

ZERO DAY (09/04/2021)
With everything working, I have to find the best configuration of the card, to be more profitable. I started using the NiceHash common program. But NiceHash has a specific program for NVidea cards, NiceHash Quickminer, which is lighter and more basic. I started using this program for.

Without making additional configurations or overclocking, the GPU allows for +/-40MH/s and a consumption of 130W.
But NiceHash, has a pre-configured overclocking function (which I think you can adjust), which at night I chose the high performance option, making the GPU run at 49MH/s and with practically the same consumption. But during the day, disable this option.

At the end of the first day, the yield was necessary to achieve the goal. But, on the second day I had interesting news.

2nd DAY - CONFIGURATION (10/04/2021)
NiceHash has its own function to manage overclocking. This function has 3 levels of options: light, medium, high.
The high design option, I already knew, I went to test the others. In the light the MH/s are the same as without overclocking with low power consumption (~ 100W). That didn't seem like a bad idea, but it would end up being less profitable.

I tested the medium option, and I liked it. I started to have 45MH/s and a consumption of 105W, this could bring greater profitability, good hash vs low consumption. I left this setup over the course of the day, and it was positive.

I had an active day on the PC, I did some image editing (nothing too busy), about 6 hours in meetings at Zoom. In the end I won more than the day before. It may have been a coincidence, but I think this setting is the best at the moment, between gain vs. consumption. We'll see how it goes over the next few days.

FIRST NUMBERS
As I said at the beginning, I will not hide the numbers. They help, to understand which is the best strategy, and only with real numbers can I help or be helped.

NiceHash makes payments every 4 hours, if you have at least 0.00001BTC pending, otherwise the payment is for the next round. I am on average doing 0.000011 BTC every 4 hours. Which means that I am receiving around 3.1€/day (the current rate - on the day of the original post), as planned.

In the case of configurations, I will show how the card behaves, in NiceHash's overclocking options:

No configuration	Light	Medium	High
DaggerHashimoto:~42.73MH/s Temp. 62ºC Fan 86% Wattage 144W Efficiency 0.30 MH/J	Core clock: 1400 Memory clock: 700 DaggerHashimoto:~43.28MH/s Temp. 60ºC Fan 72% Wattage 100W Eficiência 0.43 MH/J	Core clock: 1500 Memory clock: 1000 DaggerHashimoto:~46.00MH/s Temp. 59ºC Fan 77% Wattage 107W Efficiency 0.42 MH/J	Core clock: 1560 Memory clock: 1200 DaggerHashimoto:~47.48MH/s Temp. 57ºC Fan 80% Wattage 112W Efficiency 0.42 MH/J

The payments I received in the NiceHash wallet:

Dia	Win (€ equivalent on the date of the original post)
1	0.00006215 BTC - €3.12
2	0.00006752 BTC - €3.39
