We have a s19 pro due in 30 days. I will post how it runs.

This era is reminding me of 2016-2017.

Everything was going up and it became easier to get gpus.

Not that I advocate gpu to shit coin to btc. But today right now I am pushed in that direction.

To me I am Always looking at:

debt
cash
coin
asics
gpus

diff
price
profit per algo.

I then juggle all of the above.

I would love to buy some bitmain gear,but  7 month lead time for gear is almost never good.


I could justify getting a unit from bitmain on the books for 2020.
For the following reasons

USA tax law allows me to have ending inventory subtracted from profits of selling gear.

I still sell a lot of gear and have been consistently do my returns to reflect my gear sales.

So ordering a s19pro from bitmain counts as ending inventory since I paid in 2020.

So it is essentially a 3500 tax deduction.

I can buy the btc from coinbase. So it is not btc out of pocket it is cash out of pocket.

It would mean a certain 1200 savings in tax for this year.

So it lower risk of buying a s19pro.

But I could also order 6x 3060ti units for Jan 15 delivery at the same cost.

 same tax break and gear is on hand in under a month vs over six months.

I mention all this due to the past 2016-2017 time frame.

I will make a decision to buy a s19pro or 6 x. 3060tis this week.

To all buying a s19 pro may be okay if you report taxes. It can make your choice easier to do.

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

Phil, you must be loving your DogeCoin hodl right about now!  I noticed it's up to nearly half a cent now and one of top gainers last 24 hours!  I have a bit but not nearly as much as you so congrats!

makes it easier to track ya.   

did the address link to an account?

i was mining with a blind btc account. and not with an email account.

so they sent me the coin.

you can still use simple miner and mine to an address .

now maybe they change that. if they do then they are not worth much. to me.

So I login in to my old Nicehash address to get my remainder of my payout from the hack. And unfortunately can’t withdraw because min withdraw is like 0.01BTC and I only got like $20 left since I withdrew 80% earlier in the year in case they went insolvent again.

Then I notice they have an exchange now. So I figure, ok will convert to ETH and withdraw that. And again I didn’t meet the min withdraw it was like $30 or so. Even BCH or EOS had like a $30 min withdraw. Then I noticed USDC was only $10 min withdraw. So I figured might try that. So again I converted ETH to USDC and tried to withdraw and a huge fee of $5 popped up. Since I wasn’t ever going to use nicehash again i figured might as well get my $10 at least. So made the withdraw, said successful hours ago and even sent me an email it was processed but still didn’t arrive in my wallet.

Oh well. I see nicehash going KYC soon since they got an exchange running now. Seems very similar to the old shapeshift now.

I ordered a power color 5700 xt for 409 usd with tax included.

it came yesterday. 50th for 409 and it is mining as i type.

I am just at 1900mh not that bad.

Phil, are you still hashing on ViaBTC or did you switch back to NiceHash? I'm curious if NiceHash is more stable than it was a few weeks back.

Thanks Phil! I appreciate the suggestions and the merit!  it's pretty frustrating to be forced to start with a fresh account, but all things considered, this forum was probably one of the least damageable as far as hacked accounts go.  btw... those MSI 470's you sold me back in the day are still running solidly! Although only for a few more days since that's the rig i am converting to 5600XT, but they more than earned their keep :-)

Question for Phil or others mining ETH with 5600XT's on SMOS...

What settings are your using for non-BIOS-modded cards?

For my 5700XT rig, I am using the following:

- Core MHz: 1300
- Memory MHz: 900
- Memory UV (MVDD): 1300
- Memory UV (MVDDCI): 800
- Aggressive undervolt: On
- Power Stage:  5

Is this config also recommended for 5600XT?  Or, should i tweak a few of these parameters?

(btw, my old username was GabryRox and i had a good history on these threads. but that acct was hacked a few months back so i had to create this new acct)

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

For me T-rex is working quite nice with 1080ti. I use OC +125 core, +600 Memory with PL 210W
command line for smos: -a ethash -o eu1.ethpool.org:3333 -u [address] -w $rigName --kernel 0 --mt 6
With these settings I get 49-50 Mh/s ETH mining.
