please tell me why do you orefer viabtc pool, I was mining on slush when they had a website looking like this forum, last two month I still mined with them but my expectations were not met in amount of mined BTC, I was also considering kano but I don't think I like there luck.

well pps + and no luck involved means:

ETH
Avg. Daily Earnings 0.00007049 ETH/M (≈PPS 166.56%) that means that blocks are way bigger

BTC
Avg. Daily Earnings 0.00000737 BTC/T (≈PPS 109.18%) this mean blocks are somewhat bigger

LTC
Avg. Daily Earnings 0.02482162 LTC/G (≈PPS 96.25%) fees are very low for ltc so blocks are smaller. but they do merge mine doge so you end up over 100% of an LTC block

No luck they just pay.
Below is my referral code which means I get a piece of your fees but you do not Pay higher

https://www.viabtc.com/signup?refer=257609

Lastly they run 2/3 promos each year which cut fees down 30% for a few months of the year.

well I'm running 560Th/s at the moment and last 30 day payout from slush was 0.09 btc which is way lower than est. calculated from 0.00000737 BTC/T
tomorrow I'll test braiinsOS and consider switching

I picked up a Gigabyte Vision 3080 at a Microcenter while visiting family. Gonna be adding it on Wed. I really don't want to void the warranty and replace the thermal pads.

It does match the rig I am putting it in. Moving a 5700xt and a 5700 out to an open air rig. I think I could add 2 fans on the bottom that I removed when I added the 5700. Hoping I don't lose to much in throttling.

Added the Vision into my daily use rig and it's been in around 7 hours now. I'm getting 90-95m on eth and 84 pool side. Probably will see if I can squeeze a bit more out of it tomorrow. I use this for streaming and web surfing while mining so if it stays stable here I'm pretty happy as it's a dam sexy card. Took a bit as I needed to add a new psu to keep the cards I moved out running in a mining rig.

Phil,

Are you holding your ETH or converting it right away to BTC?

Fuck eth I have 2 eth coins locked away in an old wallet that have been stuck since 2016. I have spent years trying to jailbreak them so I just sell the sell some cash and convert some to btc.

The eth I earn pays bills.

I hodl Doge now down to 750000 of them

I hodl BTC .

What is your issue with getting them out?

Wallet was not updated so when it reaches the hack and correction back in 2016 it freezes.

You don't need an up to date blockchain to be able to send a transaction unlike a bitcoin blockchain on ETH. You go to https://www.myetherwallet.com/send-offline-helper

Put in your ETH address and it will calculate your nonce, gas limit and gas fee. Then you load your old ETH wallet and you unlock the wallet, write a raw ETH transaction, and then you broadcast that transaction at,

https://etherscan.io/pushTx

I've had this same issue and I didn't want to go thru the hassle of updating.

Keep in mind, that if you had this ETH before the ETC fork, you need to send the ETH to yourself because there can be a replay attack.

Well it could be a 2x edge sword. It may be better to have high price and scarce gear as long as we can. I think it could help coin prices stay higher.

I saw an article today about 25% Trump Tax on GPUs :-( I am starting small to get familiar, but hoping to grow big in the next 6 months. Not excited about the potential surcharges.

'The right to privacy matters'

those are good cards I have 3 of them.

If you grab them directly from evga they are 769 plus tax.

so you mark up is about 150 a card.

Will you be able to warranty them?

If so I would grab them.

EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 XC3 10G-P5-3885-KR is the model. I also have free electricity for at least half a year longer.
I am just considering it, since I want to upgrade old rigs. And I am not sure how the stock situation will change. Maybe in 6 months the cards will still have held their value.

I can get a good amount of cards by the end of the month. Considering buyin' 20 with money I have not invested into anything else right now. And would not have to buy boards or anything, since I am swapping out old cards and would just have to swap the GPUs in.
It's a real seller (through a company, that has access to non retail distribution).

Which make and model? some cards don't do 92-100 mh they do 75mh so do you know the make and model

Now the money is free, and so the people will be

i would not buy a card from a scalper/reseller unless its a small/reasonable markup for the trouble. Out of principle. Also im a big believer of being ready to mine before the times are good rather than react to good times. But thats just me, i also believe everyone should do what they want with their money without judgement. run the numbers, see the options/alternatives, run good bad scenarios see if it makes sense. At least a 3080 will still be good in 5 years to game/etc

Would you guys take the risk and buy RTX 3080s at inflated prices? Like around $900 a pop (plus tax)? With delivery end of month?

Very hard call.

1) real seller
2) true warranty
3) good card know to do 95 mh steady

So 900 + 90 tax = 990 usd

vs 769 + 77 tax = 846 usd

I am using my evga cards as an example mark up is say 150.

Lets say we drop to 7 cents a mh or 6.65 a day you pay 1.65 = 5 a day but starts jan 31

so 150/5 = 30 days to make it up.

I would consider buying them
if seller is real
if true warranty
if a good card that does not wilt to 75-85mh

Also are you buying :

1
2
5
10
20

I would not buy with all my cash.

ie

if you can get 2 I would get 1 and save cash
if you can get 5 I would get 2 and save cash and btc
if you can get 10 I would get 5 and save cash/btc/eth
if you can get 20 I would get 10 and save cash/btc/eth

good luck.

Epoch #382 just hit and pretty much killed off all AMG 4G GPUs (unless running lolminer) and Antminer E3. Looking at one pool,
https://ethermine.org/statistics

It looks like so far ~15% of the hashrate has been removed from the network. The block times are longer according to, https://ethstats.net/ so I wonder how low it will keep on going. I am assuming 20-25% or so which is crazy high.

Regarding lolminer on 4GB GPUs? I will probably just remove them from my farm and sell them on Craigslist. Basically there are 3 issues with lolminer. One there is no remote monitoring, there is no GPU throttling under overheat, they crash every 3 hours on average and the worst of all is the speed reduction. Under Epoch #380, my GPUs ran at 29.5MH/s each, then #381 it ran at 28.5MH/s, and an hour ago the speed decreased even further and runs at 27.5MH/s. So basically not worth the headache. RIP 4GB.

Same problem with hashrate, (HiveOS / Lolminer).
First card lost even more, from 29 -> 26 Mh/s.

Next drop in hashrate, first card 23.6Mh/s, rest of the cards 26Mh/s, Going down quite fast.
After it drops under 20Mh/s, it might be better to mine something else.
Quite nice that you can make "profit" with 10Mh/s, its only cents but still.

but network is rising so a lot of gear is getting added on.

https://etherscan.io/chart/hashrate

295 on the 24th

And next, now 21.6Mh/s and 23.8 Mh/s, decrease are percentual, about 9% ? First drop was 3Mh/s, Second 2.4Mh/s and the latest 2Mh/s.

Just sold my last RX470 4G card rig, thanks to newest update from lolminer the hashrate was almost 21Mh/s/card so they are/were still fighting back

Friend got it cheap so he should get his money back just selling cards, mobo and psu.

Nice I have sold all my older cards with the exception of a galax 4gb nvidia 1050. but I have it in a Snow White case and I am selling that pc to a friend he won't be mining with it.

He has https://www.nicehash.com/my/miner/1Q9iWR8ij9pXzVP2T6hR4mm8Z5mtyNKWsZ these mining in his office and just wanted a pc for work.

At that point I will be down to

buysolar's 1080ti gear he has 10 msi Seahawk or evga hybrid

the evga are up to 550 or so on ebay

https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-GTX-1080-Ti-SC2-Hybrid-Graphics-Card-GPU-11GB-Factory-Warranty/124509159607?

the msi are 530
https://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-1080-Ti-Sea-Hawk-EK/133619093203?

I think he wants 450 a card usa sales only

Found this one on newegg

https://www.newegg.com/asus-radeon-rx-5500-xt-dual-rx5500xt-o8g-ev/p/N82E16814126361?

it is an okay card price is okay. ships from Canada from a reseller. so if you live in Canada this could be a good deal.

Due to bitcoin recent rise, many gamers are out in full force complaining once again against miners. Saying they are buying out all the GPUs during a pandemic where people are forced to stay at home and saying that there are no good GPUs for sale unless its some 5 year old Radeon R9 280X or older GPUs.

I actually remember a few years back in 2017 when I was at the computer store. Some guy was complaining and swearing at miners saying they are distrupting the computer games business and computer stores should limit the stock to 1 per customer, which they were already doing.

So I guess, if you got any 4GB GPUs now seems to be the perfect time to Craiglist them.

Every gamer I build a rig for mines and every one gets a better rig because they mine.

I am going to sell them a 3080 rig vs a 3060ti rig. Cause they mine when go to work.
