I think that GPU mining has still future untill someone builds ASIC for all current algos.

Then they'll make more algos.

Soon mining will only be profitable for the Chinese and people with free electricity.

Here in my place our electricity is free but the problem is i can afford to buy a good miner or set of GPU or CPu. to mine ethereum right now .. and i heard many people that ethereum right is not profitable to mine..

A few days ago, if you mined some Ethereum Classic when the difficulty is low and sell now, you have made good profits.

The Ethereum Classic price has dropped a lot since yesterday. I think the hacker is going to dump his coin soon.

How do you know it that those hackers are willing to dump their ethereum.. or how do you know that they are holding ethereum?
I know ethereum is halving issue about DAO but i think they are already fix it .

It was only the wind.

Not to mention their premine. They just want to control the new coin flow as well as everything else by having a shitton.

The market will respond early and expect the hacker to dump the coins. Do we have any pledge from the hacker that he will not dump?

i find it hard to believe that a 380 can do 20MH at 113w, and probably not stable, so it does not count unless it can do it for more than 24 hours

and in any case a 480 can do 24MH at 105w, which is still far better, no matter the optimization or the undervolting, it's impossible to compete with 14/16nm if you have 28nm....

It can. I used my code, yeah, but it can.

Stock volts, too. Clocks were 750/1600, powertune 0.

Can your miner get similar efficiency for the 280X as well? If it can, then it is excellent for most miners.

I agree with you. That 380 is too efficient. It has to be tested for stability for at least 24 hours. The power supply could be good as well.

ETH will go PoS, and then it'll be only the rich deciding things anyways.

I think that GPU mining has still future untill someone builds ASIC for all current algos.

Then they'll make more algos.

Current new coin trend is Proof of Stake/Proof of Importance - whatever nonsense. PoW is being phased out. GPU mining almost over folks.

We have to save the polar bears from drowning you know.

Thats what he said.. plus summer time its freaking hard to keep them cool even with free electricity ! A/C can not make it !

It maybe difficult for the old 290, 390 or 280x cards. It should be relative easy for the RX 480 or 1070 cards.

The new cards are very efficient. If you do not overvolt, but undervolt and reduce the core frequency, they are very efficient.

nah just wait for the next "ethereum" but it may be a long wait, main while you can sell your gpu only and do something else as a good investment

but if you have cheap electricity you can keep mining for a very long time so no problem anyway

The problem is that there will be not many coins to mine even if you have cheap electricity. Eth will be PoS later next year.
