omg no buy vega 56, $399 right now they hash at 40 eth vs 31 and cost the same and make even more mining cryptonight

Thanks for your answer. Are you sure about hashrate? I bought XFX Radeon RX Vega 64 8G HBM2 XT Air Cooled Black Edition 2 weeks ago, for testing purposes and today I returned it back to shop for 2 reasons:
- on Windows 7 64bit was hashing only 36MH/s average (max. 39 for short while).
- on simplemining OS it wasn't working at all Sad

Yes. If you read https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/any-word-on-amd-vega-hash-rates-2002025 you can figure it out. I believe best I've seen is 44 mh/s at 150 watts

Will a couple hundred thousands of old android phones be viable to setup as a mining farm? They are already being setup as clickers and bots.

It's probably not worth the effort for the hashrate you'd get. Phones have basically no cooling system, so it would be very difficult to constantly run them pegged 24/7 without running into problems.

buy $30000 btc $20000 ETH and enjoy your sleep.

mining only really makes money when speculation makes a lot more.

If mining weren't profitable, there wouldn't be miners. There are some drawbacks if you're not experienced, but if you really wanna be a miner you gotta like it and be patient. DYOR, of course. All these people pointing you towards investing rather mining are not wrong, because you seem new to the game and there's a high chance you could get burned. I'd say invest if you're not the least bit techy and enjoy this stuff.

Yes, but at the end of the day after let's say half year, you will end up with coins, and still can sell HW for 70% of price you bought it.

Phil is testing that mobo

It can use 7 of these

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-5678-KR

and one of these

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500427

Yeah that is correct.

and you would be at

150-170 for the mobo
125 for the cpu
70 for the ram

3700 for 7x 1070 ti's
750 for 1x 1080 mini

4815 for the rig plus a psu

230 for a cheap psu I have yet to test

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Deep-In-The-Mines-2600w-ATX-Power-Supply-180v-240v-ETH-ZEC-mining-S7-S9-12-GPU/401396653730?

420 for a good psu I know works
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Corsair-AX1500i-Digital-ATX-Power-Supply-1500-Watt-Fully-Modular-PSU/332433673378?

so you are at 5045 or 5235

it would do 4200 sols

but there are cheaper set ups

the

mobo is 145 shipped to the usa if you buy 10

so

145 for mobo
125 for cpu
70 for ram
360 for an evga 1600g2 psu
230 for cheap chinese psu

so 570 to 700 for mobo

1x zotac mini 1070
https://www.ebay.com/itm/ZOTAC-GeForce-GTX-1070-Mini-ZT-P10700G-10M-8GB-GDDR5/382237701193?

400

7x evga 1070 ti hybrid

3700

so 4800 usd with a high end psu (evga 1600 g2) gives you 3900 sols

you could try amd vega 56's but they are tricky to setup.

I think, you can stick with AMD card to mining Ethereum. You can choose AMD RX Vega. It can produce approximately 70 MH/s. But one thing you must consider, mining with AMD card, sometimes you must regularly check the drivers update version.

lol

lol = you won't even come close to hitting 70 mh/s currently.

I wouldn't spend that amount of money on ETH mining farm at the moment , ETH will move to POS in the future , And cards that is good with ETH mining not same good with Zcash etc .. . However I think the most balanced card right now is 1070 . Maybe just spend only 10% max of this money on mining rigs and the rest you would be better spread between some alts that are clearly undervalued . Putting money in BTC at the moment is so risky if you buy this high . There is alts that have pretty decent chance of getting nice pump after 16th ETH , Neo ..... the list is long . The bottom line is with this money you have other options that might be better than mining , consider them Wink

This^^ only maybe spread that 20k over the top ten alts. 30k on btc seems about right. Hw you’ll lose your mind sleep and coin. Ask any long time miner what would have been the better invest. Hw or the coin. 100% say coin if no they only lying to themselves

Maintain Social Distance, Stay safe.

I think it could be better to mine at full speed use GTX 1080ti for better performance.
I was planning to build my own mining rig and i would like to try this GTX 1080 someone already told me is getting more profit with this GTX 1080ti so i think this is a great choice to start mining ethereum..
