Yes including ETC, its only about a 15% growth in 1 month.

Very low compared to the previous months

If you include the hash rate for the ETC, the difficulty is 20% higher. So If the ETC is not mined as much, the difficulty of the ETH will be much higher.

If ETC keep dropping, ppl will move their rigs back to etherum and 20% higher diff. But If this happens I expect the Etherum price to climb around 20% as well.

It's because some ppl have moved their rigs to mine Etherum Classic.

New all time high difficulty on saturday

Its still the slowest growth in months.

More power in linux - with on-the-fly runtime changes - than Polaris BIOS editor gives you with flashing (NSFW): http://ottrbutt.com/tmp/custom-editor.jpg

Goddamn I love this driver. You need to write your own tools, but the functionality is there. That's just a small part of what I can control.
is that new AMD's API?
does it allow you to change voltage?

About 8 months ago I needed some powered risers.

So I went to the market and bought about every decent riser I could find, it was really easy. Sellers (mostly people who have "free electricity") were asking me if it is profitable to mine again. When I told them it was about 2 fiat/day/ per gpu and on top of that I can heat my house they were happy to sell.

That 2 went to 5, 10, 15 and in some cases to 20.

Now we are back to 2 levels and people are buying hardware worth thousands like this was some kind of gold mine. 2 last winter is exactly the same 2 now.

What am I missing?

yeah it was you lol, i did not remember who reached that hash, really nice, the mem are at +1000 right? power limit? core?drivers?
No, with +1000 mem I need to increase gddr voltage so consumption go up.
This was with mem +900, std mem voltage, 58% power target, +120 core. gpu-z was showing voltage near 0.667v. core freq was 1400-1600mhz as far as i remember.

that's strange because at 58% power limit i can not even reach 100w, it is much higher for me

ah maybe i know, it's because my gpu it attached to a 1440p monitor...

i've seen the same hash at 90w, 80w maybe i was confusing with something else

Here it is 31mhs@90watt
Cannot go lower, at 80watt huge performance drop

no need for modded bios, no need for modded drivers, no need for disabled signature and other checks. Just few sliders in AfterBurner ))

No no
ETH not profitable anymore to mine
Except you got free rigs and electricity

true statement, if you pay over 40 cent per kwh of energy. most of us pay 15 cent or less, so ETH mining ist still profitable atm

If you use some kind of undervolting and reduce the frequency of the core or memory, it is still profitable.

Miners tend to overvolt and overclock. That will make their ROI faster if their electricity price is low.,

Real stupid miners, you mean. UNDERVOLT and overclock.

It depends on the graphics cards. I usually undervolt and underclock to get better efficiency as I have high electricity price.

Because you have sense. Overvolting is almost always done for "vanity" hashrate records, people who don't care, or people who simply have more money than sense.

actually yes in Hash/watt ratio, but maybe not in $/Hash ratio

RX 480 does 31 - 32MH/s at under 150W.

Is that Ethereum mining only? I saw Eliovp can achieve 31 MH/s + SC mining with 100 W measured from GPUZ, but from the wall.

i know but a 1070 can do 30 at 80w

Never seen 80W for 30MH/s on a 1070 - link?

i can't find it, i'll do a test myself....and post the result

libcurl error can connect anymore to anypool..... wtf

ok...it need some tweaking, but bears in mind that you can go higher with the mem, i just don't want to do it, because my gpu can not be overclocked very high with the mem, i get artifact but i know people that went at +1000...

also last drivers did something bad, i was doing better with the 369.09

i'm only able to reproduce 28-29MH at 100w
