Unfortunately, 1070s are generally twice the price of 470s ... including before the price surge.

Exactly.


Yeah but you have to hold those shitcoins before you convert to btc(risk), I like to be paid in BTC on nicehash, much easier.


Thanks, will try those settings in nvOC and see what I get.

@bentcrypto  all my rigs are windows 10, I use MSI afterburner to OC mem to 588 or so ans lower core like -200 and power limit btw 50-70 depending on model

so it took you 2 rigs (i guess with 12 x 1070) to get the same ETH as me with 1 rig? (6 x 1070)

1070 to me is the perfect ETH miner, it is as good as the RX470 in the AMD world.

As a GPU farmer, if the 1070 IF priced like 470 (before the GPU price craze), I would fill an entire warehouse with 1070s for ETH mining.

1070s wattage is very good and its very forgiving in OC.

Keep calm, and mine on - we are still in the green but very much less money now compared to before.

Once we pass the coming storm, confidence will come back and we be ready for next rally -- history do repeat itself.

In the 6GHs ETH farm, its still biz as usual although the diff level is really high but my group wants all the ETH coins, the RX470s and GTX1070s could mine at full speed, towards POS.

In the other GPU farm, Nanos and 390s, its a mix bag of ZEC and XMR but running slower now to reduce power bill and pass the juice money to ETH farm. Meanwhile its full speed at Labrador.

The modest recent NVIDIA farm - 22x1080tis, 24x1070 and 18x1060 - spread over 13 rigs. My group has halted any expansion now -- and contingency plans in progress until we find see what coming after Aug 1.

For two rigs I got the same as equihash but using 200w less power.
1070's are a versatile card and can do great on ETH.

Which OS are you using Marvell?
I'm using nvOC, haven't played with the clocks on ETH yet.

so you got yesterday also ETH 0.16159000 for 24h mining?

thats bad actually, with the latest claymore my 1070s are doing 180mhs eth and 2300 sia

or 187 eth alone

Absolutely not a waste. My 1070 6 card rigs do 170mh on ETH @ 600w.
Currently earning slightly more than equihash selling on nicehash  

Edit: corrected wattage.

Mining ETH direct with Nvidia is just a waste of hash power, you can mine other coins much better, sell them and buy ETH with it - you get more ETH out of that if you invest some time in research on Nvidia coins
Just ZEC can be mined directly quiet good.

I think 1070 is good for mining both the ETH and ZEC. So it is more demanded.

Yeah amazing...all the 1070's that I bought 6 weeks are now 20% higher in price. Good for resale but I want to buy more..lol.

the price for 1070s and 1080ti's have been raised by ~ 15% in the past days even at major wholesalers - not sure if they just want to make more money or if the manufacturers already raised their prices for wholesalers.

This could be an awkward situation... what do people do if all the "normal" priced GPUs are sold out or extremely difficult to get?  I mean, I'm sure we'll get half a dozen threads asking where people are buying GPUs.  People are already desperate and buying RX 550s and 1050s now.

Core devs have said that Segwit2X is not ready for deployment yet. This is what happens when nobody listens.
No need to rush, Segwit in 2018, Lightning in 2020.

Well I timed everything okay. I sold off all my rx 480's too early to make a killing on them. But  I got 1070's and 1080 ti's

I sold off all my 1070's and did really well selling them.

So I have 10  1080 ti's

8 are fully Roi'd
2 new 1080 ti's  will be paid of in under 100 days since 8 of the 1080 ti's are in the solar array  earning me  12 bucks a day with no power cost.

All my asics have been paid off Since January .

All mobos and psu's ram cpus paid off.

I sold enough coins to have cash to buy coins .

I still am holding coins.

I am finally in a spot of mining since summer of 2012  that I can sit and wait for a good deal . No pressure  or worry.

I am playing the coins to go up to go down or to stay the same and all three ways I would profit.

If it is all flat mining will earn for me.  coins I held will  thread water
If it jumps up mining will earn for me . coins I held will gain in value.

it it crashes I sold enough to be ahead . I could fire sale all my gear and  even though it is 25k in gear.  If I sold at 5 or 6k   Since I am paid off  that would be more profit.

I have never been in this spot before. pretty nice.

Now it is still small scale due to power and heat limits.  Under 40k .

but i will take it.


1080 ti prices are drifting up on eBay.  maybe they go to 800 and 900 a piece.

If they do I may end up selling off my 1080 ti's Amazing.

New 1080 ti's are hard to find

Amazon has no 1080 ti in stock for under 749
newegg has the pny for 709
eBay has not one  1080 ti under 719
best buy has an evga for 759
provantage is sold out.
bhphoto has a 709 asus
frys has a 709 asus
micro center has a decent amount but it is a 150 mile round trip for me.

if these cards sell out .

the 1080 ti's may all go to resellers and miners.

I could sell my cards off.

just sit on coins.

This is a time to wait for me.

My guess is that we will get SegWit, and then the fork to get 2x blocks will NOT happen.

Ive been trying to form a opinion on the bitcoin thing..

Currently everyone youtubers, blogs etc have been telling everyone that bitcoin is going to take a big hit in price.  This means that people have been preparing selling off their coins and putting new capital into their trading account preparing for the big day.

I don't like to follow the general opinion of the masses and when they say to do something, then do the opposite.

The sell offs have already happened and once the green light that everything is ok that could start a pump in the market, from coins already sold off to brand new capital that will want to get in.  The positive outlook and news articles will state that segwit was a success and this could ignite a further bull run for a while.  Then 2 months down the line people will realize that bitcoin will be hard forking to 2mb block which creates fear and sell offs that a possible split could happen (again).  Then once the hard fork happens we will be back into another bull run for the new season.
