I'm 99% sure ETH will be PoW forever, and that Vitalik just says it is changing to PoS to FUD anyone thinking of developing ASIC.  Grin

PoW Ethereum Classic Yes, but according to this article https://btcmanager.com/buterin-confirms-ethereums-proof-of-stake-75-percent-complete/
It is a plan to change ETH to PoS not a FUD.



I think it is a well known plan.

it's onyl a plan not guaranteed, i think they will change their mind again when near the activation, like they did in the past, the pos was planned long time ago but was always delayed, for good reason, they will do it again, its a mistake to go pos on ETH imho

congrats on new rig, seems great. Just wanna ask, is there any reports about ASRock d1800m or ASUS N3150M-E
, and so integrated CPU mobos, do they see all 3 GPUs?

Can you minenx11 etc with asic ? Or is it just gpu farms ?

x11 like dash coin is asics only gpu farms are unprofitable for x11

x11,x13,x15,quark etc are all asics now, very rare to be gpu profitable in those coins.

Thank you for your help and informative answer. This helps me so much. What coins besides cryptonote see none asic ?
Obviously excluding eth.

There are alot of small or Altcoins they are good for GPU mining AMD gpus rock for ethereum and Nvidia GPU are good for Equihash based coins such as Zcash, Zclassic, zen cash etc.

Thanks guys
Currently dual mining eth+dcr on 163mh and 4890 mh 950w power consumption.

You're getting 163 Mh/s out of your 4 card rig or is it out of both your 4 card rig and your 6 card rig together?

We are 2 different people gondel build 6 card rig i Built 4 card rig which gives me 100MH/s on ethereum I don't do dual mining because it runs hot + higher watts.

I went the route of budget buy spending only $655 to build 4 card rig.

Really nice rig Smiley

One of the things I like about GPU mining versus Asic mining is that they are waaaay less noisy than their Asic counterparts.

If I had to build a rig myself I would go with a setup like yours.

how many eth you got from this rig ? and how much you spent to built it ? i also want to built some rig

Getting around 0.15-0.16 Ether per day I spent around $665 to build a 4 RX 470 Rig.

so with the eth price $48, it will ROI in 4 month ? 1.5eth every 10 days



Yes and No #1 difficulty will rise for mining
#2 Price maybe volatile
#3 My cost was cheaper because i recycled a motherboard processor fan , Hard drive and Ram. you are looking at additional $150 maybe more if you are building the rig from scratch.
#4 Electricity cost
But if the price and difficulty stays stable yes 4 months is realistic breakeven point.

I also Pulledthe trigger and built a 4 GPU Rig!!





Got the Asus RX 470 from newegg $600- $120 mail in rebate (had a friend buy 2 so i can maximize ROI)
4 powered Riser $40 amazon
1 new 1000watt PSU 80+ GOLD EVGA = $139.99
$5 for wood to make the case

Recyled old HPE 170T PC which had motherboard and 8GB Ram with i7 860 and the mother board had 1 x16 and 3 x1 PCIE slots so i was capped out at 4 RX 470
also had 128GB SSD lying around so recycled that.

Total out of pocket Inv: $665 Currently doing about $6 on Ethereum per day after electricity cost (620 Watts @0.11cents) getting 95MH/s only modded 2 RX 470 for some reason other ones crashes the system. got 2 Hynix and 2 Elpeidia memory. I have pushed it to 106 MH/s but Energy draw is 680 Watts.

ROI if ethereum doesn't crash and difficulty doesn't rise too fast around 120 days or 4 months.
