I think the Ethereum mining is still profitable. But the it becomes less profitable due to the drop of price.

difficulty is sky high, you will get less coin than before and ultimately not that much profitable, yet most profitable now

well i believe its better than nothing right.
Even if not 1 ETH perday. its fine by me. i dont have to pay much for electricity

It is OK for you to mine, but for other people paying $0.2/kWh, it will not be profitable in two months.

I'm not sure that was a good idea to start mining if you pay $0.2/kWh. High profit never lasts long  Wink

The difficulty is rising fast and the price is dropping now. It will soon be unprofitable for the high electricity cost miners.

Maybe due to this>>  http://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-pascal-tesla-p100-gpu,31557.html  im sure they are "testing" them.. what better way to burn them in then mine some crypto with them.. Im sure btc asics man. doing the same right now.. Diff skyrocketing there still aswell..

Is what it is!

haha no way. I filled out this online Tesla K80 test-drive form like half a year ago to see how my eth cuda miner would perform on GK210 (double the register space, yay). Next day I get a phone call from an Nvidia rep. asking me what I was planning to do. I honestly told them it was just a crypto kernel. Never heard back from them again  Grin

Makes one wonder why these tech companies keep doing this.. im sure it makes many people hold off buying new equipment way before the product is supposed to be available.. 

here is a tidbit from the first comment Smiley 
"No HBM 2 until Fall. No units until Q1 2017 (March?). Is nVidia really paper launching a card that is a year off?! Are they THAT desperate!?

Also:
FirePro S9300 X2 = 13.9 TFLOPS Single Precision @ 28nm + HBM 1 & 300w TDP
NVIDIA Tesla Pascal = 10.6TFLOPS Single Precision @ 16nm + HBM 2 & 300w TDP (edited from 14nm typo)

I guess Pascal really is Maxwell v1.1."

Looks like it doesnt perform all that better.. seems that 16/14 nm isnt that big of performance boost until they can master that die size.

We are at 8.36 now. If this goes on, we will see 0.01 by the end of next week.

will eth ever go up ?

Nobody knows the answer, even the Ethereum developers. But if they work hard and improve it, it will rise eventually.

improve what ? Why suddenly the price is going to hell ? any idea ?

People are taking profit. The price has risen from $0.7 to $15. That was 20 fold increase. It is time to take some profit.

It doesn't matter what I think.

Speculation can be found at altcoin discussion section of this forum. Believe me, nothing there is honest...

If history repeats itself we will soon see next BTC bubble. Speculators move to BTC, also from ETH.


So ETH will go down further !!! Do you think ? any honest price speculation ?

is it obvious that only DAG size / difficulties effects hashrate ?Or the hashes depend on other thing also.
What is the fastest miner and best pool to mine now ? It seems dwarfpool is having some issues with stats. Earning is getting worse on daily basis but It seems pool is also very much important

Highest Avg Difficulty of 26.140 TH was recorded on Friday, April 8, 2016

Price is declining sharply, any one knows why ?

Hard to say besides people are dumping,  also seem to be doing a bit of panic selling today, the price is around ~$9.30's.  Coin traders are irrational people that buy high and then short moving money from weak hands to stronger ones.

The 280x are becoming less profitable week after week as it has small memory bandwidth and size.
4gb gpu will rule the eth mining field in short

Did anybody see the eth mining with 4GB card has a drop of hash rate similar to that of the 3GB cards?

no i still have the same hash with my little 970 farm, 22 mega on all the gpu, to saturate the 4gb you need two year at least, and etheruem is going pos before one year will pass

The 280x has 3GB memory, the mining speed has already dropping from 26MH/s to 21 MH/s. So maybe it is not the total memory.

I think by next week we will see hash in 2th range so it is marching right on up at a steady pace.  Price has fallen so everyone is earning less, but these big players don't care.  In about a months time maybe 2 mining ether will be in the slim profit margin Regina, so in total there will have been 4 or 5 months of worthwhile mining.  That is if price doesn't go up and especially if it continues to fall

That is also my main concern. I hope the recent price drop will make people to think not to build more new rigs.
