Cards look stronger then ever

I notice some nVidia cards are available again. Is that good news?

Things are getting very nasty for low-memory GPU cards now.

What do you mean? Maybe for 3gb cards. 4 gb can still mine eth (and it will be doing so for quite some time) and also there is cryptonight and it`s coins.. Do not forget that there could be new mineable coins in the future. FATURE!!

Took a roll of the dice and snagged 2 more 1080's for $500 ea on Cyber Monday.

It's a matter of time now until GPU miners will start selling their used cards. I doubt they will meet any demand from gamers as it's a pretty risky shot to buy some used GPU now.
So, maybe those who still have factory warranty for their GPUs will be lucky enough to sell their cards now until the price for used cards has reached its bottom.

Care to elaborate how you got to this conclusion ?

Are you just jealous because you can't afford a GPU or few and now just FUDing like madman ?

I am not jealous just because I don't like mining business much. Been there already two years ago.
Maybe Sophon will be able to out-preform GPU in the mean time. Who knows? But I think universal GPU-based solutions will end up in 2018. 2019 at most.

There will be a lot of GPU based algos running around in 2019. I think that POS is smarter from an economic view, but ETH will be the first significant experiment down that road which won't happen for 3 years at least.

I remember a pile of EVGA 1060 SC 3G cards on the shelf for $199.99/ea at frys....

I picked up a bunch of the "mini" SC cards for $189.99 recently.

Yep, those were the ones.

If I had bought those, instead of squandering my $ I had at the time; I would have been able to pay off the 6 card rig in one month..... I still kick myself for that.

And Newegg has them for $179.99 for Black Friday!

If I didn't buy so many of them already... I'd get more *laughs* I have all the GPUs for my next 12 rigs already sitting around. But damn it's hard to pass a good deal...

I have added stuff to my cart on Newegg several times... but so far have had the willpower to delete it before buying, haha!

I have VERY cheap electricity - and I also have a bunch of rigs that were originally built for Folding that are slowly getting converted to riser rigs that can handle a lot more cards that way.

I'm also only at about 50 perhaps 55% of my max power capacity in my current location, though I'd have to start building completely new rigs again to push much closer to THAT limit.

You have cheap electricity. I will stop buying and just use the existing ones.

Newegg had Rx 580 4GB (Powercolor Red Dragon model) for $199.99 after $20 rebate today. I very much wanted to buy a few at that price, but I managed to curb my enthusiasm. They still sold out within a few hours.

I have to stop buying gear.

At your power cost, my A2 farm would be barely break-even or losing a hair of money.
At my power cost, they're generating almost $3 for each $1 in power usage - and they're by far the LEAST efficient miners I'm running at this point.

8-)

I'm making enough that I can afford to point all of my AMD cards almost all of my CPUs (except the Vega 56 for now) at doing non-cryptocoin specific work (though most of it is BOINC work and I do earn enough GRC to pay most or all of the electric those rigs are using).

As part of my "rationalization" plan, though, I'm slowly shifting the CPUs over to mining Monero - FX 8320e for the most part, which don't match the higher-end Ryzens but 300 hash out of a under $120 part is a faster payoff then 450-500 hash out of a $250+ part - and I already have the FX setups.

The solar array and my friends bank office helps since the power is 1/2 the coins mined. What. Happens is I can always have 1/2 the coins and do not need to update quickly. Gives me a lot of down turn protection.

Buysolar has just about paid off the array in under 2 years vs 5 years projected.

Hopeful we get second array done.

Hey just had to drag this up.

my rigs are earning $$$$

https://www.nicehash.com/miner/1JdC6Xg3ajT3rge3FgPNSYYFpmf53Vbtje

Monthly income

0.22953600 BTC
1789.92 USD

11,300 zols about 17 x 240 = 4.1 kwatts or 100 kwatts per day 3000 per month at 13 cents = 390 power bill and since it is winter the heating bill drops 110

so 280 powercost to earn 1790 a month net = 1510
some videos of asics and gpu rigs

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-K1Sokgy3-4CdV_uZF8ubw?view_as=subscriber

very nice earning quite decently here as well 27k sols

not counting my solar array deal or my bank office deal free power I split coins

https://www.nicehash.com/miner/16yLHLoeyuCLPMXkVpC3gyrRYvwRGwjKJr

3000 sols earns me 0.0010 a day or 0.030 btc a month no power cost = 240 usd
3650 sols earns me 0.00115 a day of 0.0345 btc a month no power cost = 276 usd

so gpus are doing about 2000-2100 after power

asics do 1500 more 3600 a month while it lasts
