I hope these don’t become as hard to get as the ASIC miners.

they went way up in May + June of 2017

I have 3 on order

msi 1080ti seahawk hybrid
zotac 1070 mini

evga 1080 hybrid

and one on rma

msi 1070 waterblock only seahawk

that is about 2000-2200 sols

my cards are really doing well

6200 usd a month plus 2260 usd for partners

- 500 for power

or 5700 for me net not counting asic mining and not counting odd ball mining

So 7000 a month maybe a little more. last 2 months

don't know how long it will last.

I would love to 5 months at 7000 a month

Holy crap! Do you actually cash that out or do you let the coins pile up?

I fully paid all cards and purchased more.

I have like 60 cards mostly 1080 tis

Many people have 90 to 300 cards on this thread

In June once the building is built and finished
Im going to be adding 200 more cards
All paid off with the past two years of savings and increases in value of eth/btc

I hold more eth than btc nowadays

200 cards? its hard to even find 5 cards atm, unless you plan on buying say 20 a month till june

Any of you this Ripple/CoinBase story? Just yesterday, CB not only quashed rumors about adding XRP but stated that they "would not be adding new coins any time soon". I understand them wanting to douse the flames on the XRP rumors, but why would they make a blanket statement like that when just a couple of weeks ago they indicated they would definitely be adding new coins in '18?? Ok, maybe some thought that meant early '18, and maybe they were talking more like mid-18 but still.

Personally, I never thought XRP was a prime candidate for them to add since it does not meet their "decentralized" criteria for adding new coins. After all, when 1 entity owns 60% of it and controls everything, it's not exactly decentralized like many other alts are. Many others assuming Dash and/or Monero or even something like Verge, but the privacy issue with these coins also looks to not conform with CB's policies. Seems more likely they would add something like Cardano, Stellar or IOTA, but this latest statement seems to indicate nothing will be added soon, which is a shame IMO because whatever gets added to the worlds biggest crypto exchange/market will most certainly help infuse even more $ into the overall market.

need moar hashes

CPU, GPU.... TPU = Huh

get ready for a 1GH Monero miner ?

Maybe just sophon? Not the most exciting thing for us, but a possibility.

I love SSDs and installed probably 40 of them last year for customers in my IT business. And, my first two rigs have them. But, the two new ones I'm working on I'm throwing in some used laptop hard drives simply because I have those on hand and don't have any SSDs in stock. So other than a little bit of boot speed and shaving off a few watts of power consumption, is there any reason why SSDs are so popular in mining rigs?

Virtual Memory (pagefile) is used a lot by the GPU's so its nice to have an SSD which provides considerable access speeds over traditional drives. Also they are less bulky and last longer. A lot of people use thumb drives as well, but I don't think they are meant for the heavy read/writes from pagefile use. This of course applies only to windows.

Usually no real pagefile using occurs, I check actual HDD access via hardware monitor. All that is needed is ability to allocate huge pagefile when starting certain miners in windows. So no way it justify additional investments to SSD. The only case when SSD may be useful is windows-based multi algo switching rig aimed to hunt short surges of shitcoin profitability using extremely short switching timeframe. Though no harm to use SSD provided additional money are free :-)

I've been using spinning disks I had around for my last builds. Today I built one with an SSD and wow, what a difference (Windows). It may not mine faster, but I saved hours of tedious waiting.

This is why an older 64Gb SSD is worth the ~$30. craigslist is a great place to get em, just make sure you bring a USB adapter, and do a check on it's SMART status; see if its begin to disable memory spaces at all..... usually they are right as rain.

Just dont use a SSD for holding massive files that get re-written or overwritten a bunch. I have a graveyard of SSD boards that I have lost due to large-file handling.

Wit the thousands of dollars we are spending on rigs, craigslist? come on!

Just buy a new one 120Gb will be better to fit Windows with no worries, just $60 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073W3Q96S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm got one of the Onda 6 gpu boards with integrated CPU on the way, and need to get a power supply for it to power 6x 1060 3gbs.

I was thinking about using one of these EVGA 750w GQs https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=210-GQ-0750-V1

Its got the 3x molex I need for the board, plenty of sata and 6x 6+2 pin connectors for the GPUs. Also 750w should be fine right? My other 1060s are pulling around 80-90w so seems like I'll sit around 80% utilisation.

My other thought is the one molex branch with 3x connections going to handle powering 3 slots? And should I run all 3 sata off one branch?

My 5x1080 rig had its most profitable day yesterday after 7 months of mining-life. Over $8 per GPU. Pretty sweet.

2018 is starting pretty well so far!

This weekend I'll mount the Scythe fans (with front grille - I do care about my fingers after all) to the Onda-Vega rig.

Happy mining, folks!

What the heck dude.. I regularly see over $15 per GPU.. are you talking NiceHash only profit?

changing drivers, re configuring or installing new miners, os updates (if thats your thing, i do, even on mining rigs), general maintenance, install new/different OS, all fly on ssds. my time is worth more than the 50 bucks for a 120 gig ssd.

i cant stand waiting around for rigs to finish doing whatever when i could be, well doing something, anything else.

If you don't mind sharing , what were you mining for those profits.

I don't mind sharing. I'm just nice like that! Cheesy

XLR.
But price is falling now so I'm not expecting this to hold for much longer. Time to do more digging around for profits...

To buy or not to buy - that is the question ;)

Does anyone were buying an Antminer? Is it worthy its money? As they come pricier and pricier these days . But I'm still hasitating to buy or not to buy?
And also chinese shipping...
