Did you guys see this? Won't a 75% reduction in rewards will kill mining? I was planning on replacing my old cards with newer cards but this has put a damper on my plans.

The new EIP-2878 would reduce block rewards by 75% and has received sharp criticism from miners who say it will compromise the network’s security.

This will only work if ETH's TPS is increased leading to higher cumulative fees (not higher GAS prices) and make the total block reward about the same.

'The right to privacy matters'

I decided to pickup some Sapphire Pulse 5700XT's -- anyone have any recommended settings for them?

I almost went with the 5600XT's that Phil suggested here but I couldn't get them in the quantity I wanted and thought might be a better play long term to spend a little more.

I could not find a decent deal for the sapphires.

I got the 5600xt for 240 with six months to pay.

I know the dag could screw me as these are 6gb cards.

the sapphire was 390 with six months to pay

Phil,

I picked up a 5600 (the deal you linked to on Newegg), to play with to see if I want to get more.

Did you update your BIOS or just run them like they came? (I didn't see where a BIOS was available for this particular SKU)

I tried it on HiveOS and it would only hash at 13MH @45W. Kinda weird. Threw it on a Win10 rig and got around 40MH. Not sure about power usage since HWiNFO is reporting about 90W, but Awesome Miner (AM) is showing around 115W. Not sure which is right... This is using the settings you recommended.

Might try putting it on a SMOS rig next to see what I get. I'm mostly running Ubuntu 20.04 on my rigs and controlling them from AM. I purchased a 20 rig license back in 2017 before Patrick went monthly fee per rig like everyone else.

Almost scored a 3080 yesterday. Had it in my cart at nvidia.com, but when I got my payment info entered and submitted, I got an error that my address could not be left blank. (it was not blank) I guess server issues. Will keep F5'ing over the weekend and into early next week, and then turn my attention to the 3090 if I don't score by then. lol

ps. Still on the fence about selling my GTX 1000 GPUs. Made almost $160 with them yesterday...

You have to use one of the three beta images for Navi GPU's on HiveOS .

Here is a video about Rx 5600 XT from Bits be trippin', he gets to 43.3mh @ 85w without BIOS mod, he also posted a config for SMOS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MghxzsrDFJ4&t=213s

did I hear him right? 650w rig at 310MHs? take my money already!

Which is even better than E3 with 190MH/s at 700-800 W. I didn't even know they were that good tbh. Might be worth going back to GPU mining after I left it in 2018.

one rig to start again.

I'm in the same boat, I have 130 gpus half GTX 1000 GPUs. Tempting to replace them with RX 5600 xts, I could increase my revenue a decent amount and not raise my electrical cost. I'm maxed out on a 100 amp 240 line, so its increase efficiency or find a cheaper place to host the 1000 series GTXs and add the new cards to my farm. How long will the 1000 series cards be profitable?

List some of the 65 gtx 1000 series can't hurt to sell some.

List 5 of them.

they do 39-41 on smos. 85 watts on smos but more at the wall.

yeah tough to sell all your 1080ti's. but putting some up for sale could work.

I think 3 for 900. should sell fast on marketplace. It can't hurt to list 3 that way.

I am having a network issue a lot of my smos rigs went down.

but I have optimum and Verizon at the farm.

So I am driving up there to move the 10 gpu rigs to optimum . there are 75 asics on the Verizon and now 10 smos I think I want all smos on the optimum

How easy is it to sell in the marketplace here?
I have about 30 Polaris 4GB cards that I need to sell and am looking at my best options. Will probably have to give up mining starting next year anyway, since I will be moving and not have basically free power anymore.

If they were 8gb they would sell pretty easy. 4gb will be hard to sell.

I have escrowed a lot for many people. If you use an escrow and have a decent product at a decent price it sells.

So
1) you have to undercut ebay prices
2) use an escrow until you are established.
3) have a good product people want

1 and 2 you can do

3 maybe not as 4gb are not going to be wanted.

Now I am unaware of how to use your 4gb cards to mine once eth stops using them In nov. Maybe there is a use for them .

Yeah, maybe I should just sell them on EBay. Got the super cheap (less than 50 bucks) and have multiply ROId. Might be able to get 50 bucks back for them.

Got it, your strategy is safe and wise.

I will be posting around next week, unfortunately only to Singapore market so that I dont have to deal with shipping etc.

I am so happy that I kept these blower stlye RX480s - they are built like a tank and still does 29-32Mhs with some tweaking and can hit 33-34Mhs with modded BIOS.

Only 22 of my ~~Gigabyte~~ Sapphire RX480-8GBs (Blower Version) made it to the mining cave, joining the 1080ti, P106, 1060, Vegas64 & 56.

I maxed all my circuits. And I gave up my other warehouse already.

44 x RX480-8GBs left sitting idle..... how much could I sell them during a GPU shortage?

here are 4 lowest priced 8gb sapphire listings on usa ebay

149 usd + 0 to ship

https://www.ebay.com/itm/SAPPHIRE-AMD-Nitro-Radeon-RX-480-8gb-Gddr5/363088066711?

Based on the above

I would sell a lot of 10 for 1250 usd in btc

Once deal is done I would list a second lot of 10 at 1350 usd in btc

Once deal is done I would list third lot of 10 at 1450 usd in btc

leaving me with 14 left. I would hold and hope for moon shot. maybe getting 200 a card for them.

but bolded type above I would do today. Worst case is they sell in like 10 minutes

then you know you can bump price for next listing .

pricing wars are starting to happen

my source for rx 5500 (dell) jumped price on the visiontex from 191 to 255

amazon has no new amd 5700xt under 400

Newegg has a few 5700 under 400

best buy all are over 400

What are your 1080ti's doing? I just cant seem to get them over 48mh on ethash on linux, gonna test on windows now ...

I have to be contented with 42mhs@160w because I dont have enough circuits to go around.

You can hit 46-48mhs but that takes too much power, and will open another can of worms with PSU, cables, heat etc.

With ETH mining so juicy now, most important IMHO is steady, consistent shares to pool, without any rejects and no problematics rigs (esp with 8 or more GPUs)
