wise choice.

a February pump will fuck up your march purchase for sure LOL

ROI'd cards are always better whatever the cost is.

cards on hand are on the path to ROI "ness" 

And your calculated amortization time is?

yes they did.

My choice was buy

7x A5000
2x A2000
7x A4000. get them by Friday the 7th of Jan

or wait for 36 x a2000 get them by 7th of March.

just about 29000 usd for get the gear now and hash rate of  1200mh

or wait 2 months and get hash rate of 1440mh cost of 23000. on paper waiting was a tiny bit better. but sometimes a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.

Took the gear now. we will be at 9gh by next Monday.

I am also all PNY.

All PNY thus far

Hopefully they freed up your funds so you can shop around 

Okay

My a5000 source is done. I got his last 7

My a2000 source fucked up my big order of 36 cards march 7 is new date.

My a4000 source has them in stock as of last night

I am finding it hard to get my hands  anymore on A5000, however A2000 is relatively easy to find.


Mind sharing what brand is your A5000? mine is Gigabyte and its impossible for it to do that memory speed.

Going for another 12 card rig.

will do:

 7x a5000 = 700
 3x a4000 = 180
 2x a2000 =  80

total = 960mh

cost = a new car


should use 2100 watts

Googling some of those cards, read a bit about NVIDIA A30, looks to be the most efficient of them all. So expensive!...

I went to a yubikey

so in theory  only 1 machine with the key will allow any withdrawals.

at toughit if I could find a 170hx I would try it.

Has anyone played with a 170hx yet?

Cheapest I’ve seen is 5300 for 164 hash

Just read about your porting attempt. I have never used Coinbase however just wondering if it has whitelisting available as extra protection ?

Many exchanges let you whitelist a few address and even bank withdraw details and so if someone gets access to your account they can’t withdraw anything to themselves. Even if they add a new withdraw address there is a period of a few days before it takes affect.

This is like a last line of defense. Maybe try enabling this.

Yeah the USA has become worse we had 2-5% import tax  on miners from China we now have 30-35% import tax from china.

And since it is better documented I get stuck paying 7% in New Jersey sales tax.  So the price is way higher than 659 each if I order five from China direct

it will be 918-950 each.

I have a supplier that sells them to me for 1050 but USA based. I usually order from him.

I will pm you the info.

Octominer is really good. I checked all the specs in the past. I really liked it.
I dont have any idea how could I buy and make the custom clearance. In Turkey, the custom clearance is so complicated. Each items needs different documents and payment taxes. But I can buy if it is sold on newegg. Newegg makes easier the custom clearence for us. do you know HS code for it ?

Graphic Cards: 8471.80.000000
Motherboards: 8471.50.009000
PSU: 8504.40.301019
Gaming Desktop PC: 8473.30.800000

I dont buy power supply bacause it needs spacial documents and extra huge payments at the customs. But there is no problem buying any gaming desktop pc with power supply. Its HS code is different and nobody ask for any extra payment or document. Yeah it is really stupid. But Here is Turkey

Yeah I spend 2 to 3 hours a day shopping for gear.

We have an abundance of power not used.

But I don't want to pay 2x or 3x the prices.

I could build 10x 12 card servers

120 cards of

 a2000
 a4000
 a5000

I have power and room for 360 to 480 cards in the 12 card servers.

Yep, Audioquest USB DAC is good but not the best.
It is only for starters. I bought FiiO K5 Pro. And it beats Audioquest

FiiO K5 Pro
+better sound quality
-you have to use it at home

Audioquest USB DAC
-lower sound quality
+it is mobile

I have been following your post since 2016. You have really good knowledge.
A5000 not worth for mining 'cause of the high price. But I bought one.

15 pcs A2000 were my best choice. I bought them at really low price althoug there is high taxes in our country.
36 pcs A4000 were my second best choice after A2000. But I bought A4000 vgas before I bought A2000 vgas.
And Yes U're right the fear is the 6GB memory. But I dont think about it unlike others. I tried RVN, TON, ERG. It rocks !
I have many many P106-100 Asus Mining Edition. I m selling them then I buy new vgas.
Yes, most people dont want to buy them but the new comers to mining buy them.
Well, I dont have 6GB memory fear I will buy all of them if I can find the same price. (699 USD + 3 years national warranty)

I will not buy more A5000 unless I find a fair price.
The price of A4000 is a ibg problem. It changes 1150-2000 USD + national warranty.
I shop national shopping sites + dist + newegg + amazon it uk com jp
I never found a good price for server gpus. I usually find 3080,3090,6600 but 3080 non lhr not possible any more.
You have more chance than me 'cause u can find more items easily despite to find an item in our country is more complicated. The prices are high-rocket.

Audioquest USB DAC. Someone likes his sound.

The pny a2000 is the best mining card on the market....... the only fear is the 6gb size
The pny a4000 is really good ........................................ very stable needs a case with fans
The pny a5000 is also really good --------------------------- cost a bit too much


I have 4   A5000's
I have 40 A4000's
I have 4   A2000's with 36 on back order

I have a PNY RTX A5000 24GB



The hahsrate isnt stable if I try to set higher memory value.

***

I have 3 pcs RTX A2000 6GB + 1 pcs RTX A5000 24GB in that rig.



I have 12 pcs RTX A2000 6GB in the second rig.



Actually, A2000 cards are awesome. Low power, high hashrate.
A5000 is good but too expensive to buy for mining.
I have also 36 pcs RTX A4000 16GB. They really rocks.

Here are my settings:



They are super solid cards! Managed to get to get them a while ago when a distributer was ordering them in bulk packaging for a data center project.

Cost around $2200 each after taxes.

Edit: forgot to add that I am using Gminer.
