Topic: Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby! - page 109. (Read 66416 times)
For anyone that likes to look for patterns.. this could be the start of a nice long downtrend
Bought sushis at 0.70 - 1.20 range from Bilaxy exchange and cashed out at around 9$.
Lucky to have cashed out early.
But my sushiswap experiment is still active - to cash out I got to bear the expensive gas so I will just let this go on farming.
I have 0.9 Sushi-LP staked (liquidity pool tokens) and have farmed nearly 3.9 sushis.
Its a small 0.3 ETH investment/experiment.
I can only wonder where this is going to end up.
I might never see my ETH on SushiSwap again but heck, I can say I was once a Defi farmer. LOL.

It seems that certain Defi tokens were scams and seems the fees are starting to get back to normal. Right now fees are around 100 Gwei or so while during the peak they were at 500 Gwei or so. Some of those food tokens like Hotdog or Sausage basically went to -100%.
Given the price crash our profitability is less than half of a few days ago. We will see what happens. Seems this sell off was at the same time as the stock market selling off. So it could be nothing more than a dip and continue. However if it was the top then most likely we won't get back to $500 ETH until election results.

ETH block reward is 40-70% less than yesterday.. YIKES. Those crazy fees really make mining crazy profitable.
Yep coupled with the price drop it is a big hit.
I tweaked the rig a bit it is doing
185 mhs
606 watts at meter
552 watts soft ware
hottest card is 62C and highest fan is 68-75%
it is a nice rig. I would not mind 5 or six just like it.
but with daily earnings dropping from 105 a day to 52 a day I am not buying more cards..

Regarding the power supply, is it safe to convert 6 pin to 8 pin with power adapter cables for the GPUs
Yes. I have done this for years with no issues.Yeah not an issue I don't have issues doing it at all.
I just put a new rig together today.
note the h.i.s. 5500xt is really the visiontex 5500xt
rig software says 563 watt meter says 619
note the temps all good.
watt meter
now reads 620.7
you can see how the short card the visiontek allows air to the bigger msi card
cards held in place by pipe strapping yeah they can sometimes melt but if metal you can short shit out. and if the strap melts it means you had a major malfunction in the first place.
these rigs are 24 inches wide.
I can fit 2 to a shelf.
I have 3 racks with 18 shelf total so I could do 36 of these rigs.
But I would need to shut down the asic gear. So I am limiting my gpu builds.
and we have backed off a lot the last day. I have 4 cards on the way and that will end the building for now.
Regarding the power supply, is it safe to convert 6 pin to 8 pin with power adapter cables for the GPUs
Yes. I have done this for years with no issues. man i lucked out buying 4 visiontek 5700s off Dell last year for 239 a piece.
Whats up with Visiontek GPUs, I saw Phil mention them and then you. Do they have added stability or value or something? Just wondering if their brand cards are the ones to look out for.
Price on the 5500xt is 191 and less with discounts.
They are short cards.
So if you have an eight slot board
1) big gpu ----------
2) empty
3) big gpu ----------
4) empty
5) big gpu ----------
6) empty
7) big gpu ---------
8)small visiontek --
four of these

Was there a drop in the price of AMD GPUs overnight ?
LOL..... I told so

Anyone thinking to revisit LTC mining?
Just a hunch but with BTC and ETH climbing higher.....
LTC could make a sudden jump since Top 10 coins will usually follow the gravy train (well almost all Top 10 coins)
Phil.... do you still have your L3s?
Sold my L3s a long time ago when I sold off my ASICs at Labrador.

you all remember when DAG was inside the hard drive at the early days of ETH mining?, it was moved inside VRAM for faster hashes.
so, if a miner dev develops a miner to put DAG inside RAM, NVME/SSD, might still push these 4gb cards if the hashes per watt are still in "profitable" area. same thing with ASICS.
Wow this was before I started in 2016, what was the speedup of going from not in VRAM -> VRAM? so, if a miner dev develops a miner to put DAG inside RAM, NVME/SSD, might still push these 4gb cards if the hashes per watt are still in "profitable" area. same thing with ASICS.
If that's the case, the next logical place to store it would be in the system RAM, upgrading that is super easy and it would be the next fastest access place..
This could be a big big deal..
DAG creation is significantly increased.
a lot of tweaks and optimizations already happened, so it will not be a simple comparison between on system ram or ssd vs vram, besides 280x (the ones i used) can't do ETH anymore so comparing will be a bit vague.
even upgrading from a core2duo s775 processor to a s775 core2quad processor has improved my ETH hash back then lol, anyway miner devs are the one who can answer this inquiry.
BTW here an old post in claymore thread, it is a bit optimistic regarding going back to HDD/SSD for DAG.
v4.0:
- no DAG files anymore.
- removed "-dir" option.
- Bug fixes.
- no DAG files anymore.
- removed "-dir" option.
- Bug fixes.
Great job!
Although speed is slightly lower with 4.0 than 3.3
Although speed is slightly lower with 4.0 than 3.3
Speed is the same, but today is new epoch #47, probably you remember speed for epoch #46.
This now means that the algorithm does not require additional files, which opens the way Asic .
No asics, I just decided to solve issues with DAG files completely, I planned to do it later but after Wolf0's phrase "goddamned DAGs" I understood that I must do it right now
Now I generate DAGs directly on GPUs so no DAG files are used at all.And no slowdowns on restart?
If you have HDD, not SSD, you will see that v4.0 starts much faster. If you have slow CPU you will see the same.
You dont have watchdogs?
I have been using those for long time, last year i didn't have to visit my mining place for 6 months. (I did visit but just for fun:))
If computer crashes it just reboots and mining continues...
(Just using Asrock H81 Pro BTC boards with risers and 6 cards).
One thing i dont understand that people spend so much time to max their cards, who cares if card mines 29mh/s or 30mh/s... most important thing is it to be stable.

If you have 100 gpu´s, you will loose much money if you don´t max out. My 470/480/570/580 do all around 31 - 33 mh/s (round 10% more hashrat), so this is significant more hashrate, and if you do it right, it runs stable with 31 - 33 mh/s. i think if i do 4000$ a month or 4400$ is a big difference.
If you can do 99% up time at 4000 you get 3960
if you can do 95% up time at 4400 you get 4180
My farm is in a warehouse and it is hot hot hot hot in the summertime
I feed 3+3+3+5+5= 19000 cubic feet of air in
I pull 5+11 = 16000 cubic feet of air out
It is a mixed used farm

Then the gpu rigs.
I monitor it all remotely
but from April to Oct the fail rate is high due to hotter weather.
When weather was colder gear just ran.
I could go 100 days with no issues.

at favebook. they should be okay for you.
I would sell you my 6x hybrid 1080ti but shipping to you would cost a fortune.
Yeah, I think I could buy out around 50 of 1080 Ti-s and reset the market as well.
I would love to have hybrids, but yeah, shipping MIGHT be insane.
My sources in Shenzen shared with me that come November, we may see a sharp drop in hash due to 4GB cards going offline. This should give us enough time to get ready...
Yes, this is why I jumped in whole hog on new cards, ETH doubling was just gravy. I expect to see a 25-50% hashrate drop.I am thinking this could last until early january.
just remember that the bitmain eth miner can be upgraded to more ram and mine .
the miner was not very efficient so if they used all the same parts but more ram 🐑 it would not be as good as amd 5700.
i would think they could make one with more ram and more efficient. I would look out for this to occur.
May take until January and wont be done unless mining ⛏ keeps doing well.
This fear of mine has prevented me from really pushing on buying cards.

the gpu mining edge is the tech- the VRAM, I hope gddr6x can bring a huge generational leap vs gddr6, gddr5x and gddr5.
So I got new ASus dual 5700, stock it uses 1.05v @ 117w gpuz reading under load. It hashes 53-54mhs without any bios mod 1860mem @ 85w gpuz. If stable will try higher mem and lower voltages. Great job Asus, first 5700 I see with proper thermals, core clocks and fan speeds right off the bat. Would recommend to any gamer. 345$usd equivalent too. I'm just really happy with this model. I do not know if its possible to flash this one without problems.
edit: ehhh might not be stable
edit: ehhh might not be stable
of every amd 5000 series i purchased that is the only card I returned.
It was not stable on four different rigs.
the 5700xt dual.
i do have two 5500xt dual they are good.

Used 1080 Ti in my country has been priced at 320 Euro (380 USD) up to 350 Euro (415 USD). And after 3000 news, they dropped to 280-300 euro. What do you guys think about that price? Worth buying them out?
maybe maybe not. what is your power cost? they pull more then the amd 5700.
but i am thinking the amd is at least 400 -425 euro for you.
are you at 5 cent or 8 cent usd per kwatt? if you are build a rig or two.
I know they are power hungry. 0.7$ per kWh but I can pay whenever I want, bills do not come monthly..
Sadly, people seem to ignore AMD cards here. Only about 2-5 cards are currently on sale on used market. Cheapest one is 380 euro. Then used ones become more expensive than new ones (ordered via resellers) and new ones range between 350 and 425 euro.
