So seems like a repeat of last Summer. Basically we had 12 days of semi-decent profit for home ETH mining and now again its reaching the point of mining revenue going mostly due to electrical costs. Only people that benefit are people with cheap or free power.

I think that the tide might turn because we have 3 events looking forward to profitable mining.

1) BTC halving - If BTC can break the 2019 or 2017 ATH then I am assuming there will be FOMO in ETH.

2) Antminer E3 - In about 40 days they won't be able to mine ETH. Hopefully there are many of these E3's that free up the difficulty

3) ProgPOW - Going live in July 2020. Should eliminate the other brand of ETH asics which are more powerful.

Btc halving doesn't matter when futures with x125 leverage is introduced, you don't need real btc to trade it

yeah the exchanges are trading 1000's of non existent coins.

If progpow boosts the earnings of a 1080ti to $2.00 a day things will be very interesting.

I still have :
1 rig with 1x 1080, 2x 1070, 1 x 1660ti
2 rigs with 4x 1080ti
3 rigs with 2x 1080ti so 14 1080ti and the lessor gpus 18 in all

I also have 8 rigs mining xmr with 1 card it think it is
4x vegas 56
1x 1080ti
4 1660

9 cards total grand total 27 cards and 8 cpus

philip, I remember in 2018 you have a lot of 1080tis, how they are working now? Same efficiency, and no RMA in your cards?
Unfortunately I had to stop mining due to my electricity price, I consider Solar but here in my country it's very expensive the parts

I have only a 1080ti that I mined a lot and still strong playing some games, it was a card ahead of time in my opinion

All of those 1080ti's have run since 2017-2018 2 - 2.5 years

All were never pushed 150 to 200 watts 50 to 70% fans.

The key was never do over 200 watts

keeping temps at 70c or less

never pushing fans hard.

I have 8 hybrids left the others are air cooled.

eth and progpow could make them really nice.

Well looks like im ready to dump my rx 5700 rig if eth switches algos. atm rx 5700 is really good at ethash and not much else.

Looks like Bitmain posted an update that the Ethereum ASIC they sold the E3 is at its end of life due to lack of memory for the growing DAG.

I find it very suspicious that the day that the E3 stopped working on ETC was the same day that we got the go ahead with ProgPOW for ETH. Maybe it's a coincidence.

Will this have a big effect? Who knows. Any idea how many E3 were built? So far the ETC hashrate has actually increased when the E3 could no longer mine it. Basically variance. The real tell tale sign will be when ETH hits the same Epoch in like 45 days or so.

Anyone care to guess how many of these are actually on the network?

lets hope they were 30 to 40% of the network.

A ProgPOW fork is gonna be supperrr interesting! Wonder if I should scoop up some nVidia cards on eBay..

I have a bunch of ~~GTX~~ R9-390-8GBs in the store room --- are they any good for progpow?

The one thing i remember about ProgPoW is it runs hot as hell, think Neoscrypt hot
those who have older RX cards especially that struggle to keep cool already, will have a hard time on ProgPoW
that said: I do believe it will knock ALOT of hash off the ETH network due to that reason, plus a few more (not as many specialized devices out there for example)

also: reddcoin is forking soon to increase their staking APR to 20-25% (up from 5%), might be some money to be made for speculative traders ...
(i have a few million staking right now)

Yeah it is a good algorytm for :

gtx 1660
gtx 1080ti

it also work well enough with vegas

So I am looking forward to this fork.

I can run 8 cpu rigs in the house. they have
4 vega 56's
1 1080ti
6 1660's 11 cards

I can run

3 2x 1080ti rigs with simple mining 6 cards
3 mixed card rigs with simple mining total of 10 cards

total of 14 rigs with 27 gpus. lets see if I make some decent coin here.

1660tis and 1660s are basically on par with 1070s or lower what is thier hashrate on progpow, I have 1 1660 and 1 1660ti on eth right now underwhelming cards

If it does switch over it will boost nvidia so here is hoping.

Looks like the first Ethereum asic ever released is coming to its end of life. According to a few people it no longer can mine ETC which is on Epoch 328.

Ethereum is about 11 epoch behind so it's about 55 days from being rendered useless. I wonder how many of the E3 miners are in existence and what effect it will have on the overall hashrate for ETH.

We will see what happens to the ETC hashrate after this however usually the ETC has a lot of volatility due to pool switching between ETH and ETC.

Funny that ProgPOW finally gets through just about when the first ASIC goes EOL.

You can use 4gb cards but polaris cards are behind Nvidia in terms of speed and hash/wat ratio,if I recall correctly they use about 30% more power.Progpow is generally Nvidia favored algo(dunno about new amd cards)

Looks like ProgPOW is a go for Ethereum, launch sometime in July.

Basically according to this article,
https://cryptobriefing.com/ethereum-progpow-asic-resistance-concur-core-developers/

It links to a Youtube video which is the dev conference #81 and its 2hours long and didn't get a chance to watch the entire thing. However on the ethereum reddit they seem to confirm that ProgPOW is a go!

Anyone know if 4GB GPUs will work with ProgPOW or do they needed to be large enough to fit the current DAG file? Never used ProgPOW before.

Used it with bitcoin interest I had 6gb 8gb 11gb gpus so I don't know the answer to the question.
