Probably a dumb question and maybe obvious answer, but what strategies are people using to find cards? Are there sites that will notify based on availability? Or is it just a matter of finding secret (off the beaten path) sources? I've been no stranger to finding cards in the past, but the current shortages seem like they far surpass anything from 2017.
I'm going to try this out Phil. I will then do a blind taste test and compare it with this garbage that came out during my college years!
Looks like Linzhi miners are in full force..

40 x 2.7 = 100gh or around 1100 nvidia 3080's
https://etherscan.io/chart/hashrate
claims 325th entire network
that would be:
2.7gh x 1,000 = 2.7th
2.7gh x 10,000 = 27.0th
2.7gh x 100,000 = 270.0th
Add in A10 700mh models
.7gh x 1,000 = 0.7th
.7gh x 10,000 = 7.0th
.7gh x 100,000 = 70.0th
since all the network is at 325th and growing
and since gpus simply can't be found the basics above are being added
and very likely bitmain has something.
Have to think the 4gb card drop off is close to the new cards being added.
but we grow so the asics above and maybe bitmain are likely 30th to 50th of the 325 we are at.
price is good and cards are scarce so a lot will be okay for card miners for 2 or more months (unless eth price tanks)
I do not think the asics above can be adding 50th more in the next 2 months.
we shall see.

Yeah we bake with it.
Add it to heavy cream and some maple syrup and whip it. Really really really good whip cream.
Or Drop it into some nice hazelnut coffee.
Or like yesterday put some in ice tea.
I could go on but I won’t.
I backed off on wine and beer due to diabetes.
But the vodka vanilla is okay for me.
I also make limoncello but I prefer this. As it is very versatile.
Also 1.5 liters for 35+75= 110 usd but high end vanilla extract is just about as costly.

I will definitely have to make some. My daughter is a Type 1 - juvenile in her early 20's so she could drink it. And it could occasionally make its way into my coffee.
I used these beans
https://www.amazon.com/Gourmet-Tahitian-Vanilla-Products-USA/dp/B01N22BC4W/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-nc-drs1_0?
10 for 18. I grabbed 4 packs. so 72. and the Tito's was 32 or 33 for 1.5 liter.
It does turn to a Coffee color.
compared to hi end vanilla extract it is cheaper. about 105-110 for 50 oz
https://www.amazon.com/Nielsen-Massey-Pure-Vanilla-Extract-ounces/dp/B077MT496B/ref=sr_1_12? this is 38 for 8 oz
and the Tito's tastes better for drinking or baking with then this one does.

So viabtc > auto widthdrawall to say coinbase, then convert to btc, then to your personal wallet?
You can sell ETH directly on Coinbase, no need to convert it.
In my case, it's Ethermine > auto to Coinbase ballpark once a week or so > sell or hang on to it a bit.
I did recently sell all of it to help pay for my new place though (should close just before end of the month).
Once I move I'll have POWER to work with again!
Thanks Phil and QuintLeo! Just got my first viabtc auto withdrawal tonight! Also thanks to all your math Phil you I have picked up 5 5700XT over the last week to add to my rigs - from $429 to $500 in pricing. I'm getting 57MH each from them.
This pleases me to no end. Good luck.
Phil also very interesting about the Vanilla Vodka. I make homemade Limoncello myself.

ah he who is a home miner is a happy camper. I will have to investigate that homemade vanilla vodka, i am intrigued. cheers
buy a good vodka.
Tito’s works.
buy whole vanilla beans.
split length wise.
24 beans for a fifth of vodka.
I use 36 -48 beans and make a 1.5 liter bottle.
empty enough vodka from the bottle to let the split beans fit.
Let it sit in the fridge 45 days.
and boom. High quality vanilla vodka and it also works for baking as vanilla extract.
I drink about 1.5 liter bottle every year.

I've gotten 2 cards from the que a 3080 black, a 3080 xc3 ultra. I missed a 3070 while traveling. I turned down a 3090 as I just couldn't justify the price for mining and resell dropped on those when I got the notification.
I sold the 3080's the same day I got them in back in late October early November.
This isn't official but you can check where you are in the que off this. I should be getting a 3080 xc3 gaming soon and a 3070. This time I will keep both and sell off a 1660 ti, a 1060 6g and a 5600 xt.
I forgot to sign up for the 3060 ti's until about 2 weeks so it's gonna be a while I think on those for me.

Okay so these cards. If they drop I will use this code VND2319M4O569J4 for a small discount

If any one wants the 3090 please let me know as I won't buy them and keep them.
and I won't buy them to sell them unless I have a buyer.
hoping for a 3060ti
Congrats for your new place! I'd guess a new ASIC batch coming online on top of every available GPU put back to work. A lot of crypto companies mooned on the stonk exchange and promised huge growth and profits... At least we had a VERY good end of 2020, and a VERY good 2021 start. Still amazing numbers. Market will probably tone down a notch or two, next pump, DEFI ponzi for the masses ? Many things to ponder while basking in the dry GPU produced heat this winter. Now for a bit of quality sand for the feet in the garage, a long chair with a Mojito in hand, Valve Index VR with the beach on the head feeling the GPU heat wind on my body. That would be heaven. Enjoy friends, enjoy the sweet sweet prospects of another beautiful year. Except of course, the pandemic and everything else...
Sitting in the basement den watching 'the devil punisher' on netflix while I type this.
Temp 82f
humidity 7
I have a modded s9 2 board running at my feet.
I have a modded s9 1 board running in basement bedroom
I have an intel running a 3060ti right next to me.
And 6 pc's running monero with 1 gpu each in th attached 86f degree garage.
First time in years I can profit mine in the house..
My heating bill is next to zero from Nov to now.
And I just finished an ice tea laced with homemade vanilla vodka.
2 gpus on the way.

@ Windows 7 mining issues,
Isn't the Windows 7 --> Windows 10 upgrade still free of charge?
Why not to move to the Windows 10?
Isn't the Windows 7 --> Windows 10 upgrade still free of charge?
Why not to move to the Windows 10?
There might be some way to do that for free - but the "anyone can do it" offer expired after about a year, and is long gone.
Why not move to LINUX, which is legitimately free and tends to be a bit more efficient in the first place?
so ETH hashrate up....what....almost 10% in a bit more than a week ? wow
ASICS A10 AND OTHERS
Since we are phasing out the 4gb cards. There is no other explanation.
LOLMiner and others have added the ability to keep mining on 4GB cards, abet at reduced hashrate.
I'm sure the hashrate would be up more like 50% in that week, if enough cards were AVAILABLE.
I suspect SOME of the hashrate jump is from new ETH ASIC miners selling out fast, and part of it is from older ASICs turning profitable and getting turned back on - but availability of even 2 generation old GPUs has cratered which indicates a LOT of the hashrate jump is sale of new GPUs and folks with older CPUs turning them BACK on (if I had the power available where I'm at I'd be firing the old R9 290s back up here).
I wouldn't just worry about hashrate stats - instead we should look at defi volume e.g. https://defiprime.com/dex-volume
as long as defi activity continues to outpace hashrate growth, mining is safe

older cards with 8gb (eventhough power-hungry) probably back online now too.
The A10 ASICs esp the newer 7gb versions probably online in house by Innosilicon, since availability only in April
