So went to newegg and
every amd 5600. is sold out
every amd 5700xt is sold out
every amd 6800. is sold out
every amd 6800xt is sold out
every nvidia 3070 is sold out
every nvidia 3080 is sold out
every nvidia 3090 is sold out
same for provantage
same for amazon
now this is not counting crazy reseller prices.
at amazon all amd 5600 and 5700 are in reseller hands
here is a amd 5500 at 260 sold by amazon

a month ago I got msi 5600 for 250 from amazon.
so 40 mh for 250
now 26 mh for 260
there are no cards to buy.
yet hashrate is still under 300th for the eth network

Phill, you still with viabtc eth?
yes. much more stable far less lockups.
It says it is mining on simple mining
It says it is inactive on viabtc eth
So you simply reboot and it registers on viabtc again.
It has happened 2 times from the same location Of 4 of my rigs.
That location has DSL connection.
So I suspect the DSL is the issue.
Nicehash seems to cause it and often too often to be worth mining at.
I have to say using windows and nicehash works better
So I have 5 xmr rigs doing windows and nice hash.
also there. all good points, thnks!
And amazingly nicehash claims they will be paying back the remaining lost funds from dec 2017!
I am owed.

once in a while a rig does the following

This is far better then a rig freezing and needing a hard shut down.

Etc had hard fork today and it can be minned with 3gb gpus now
Any idea why Nicehash won't support it anymore? They said that by supporting ETC it would lead to 100% invalid shares and the sellers of hash would get paid but buyers of hash would result in a complete loss. I am completely puzzled by this because this algo is pretty much the same except the DAG size is just smaller. Anyone got a clue as to why they would do this?
Probably because all the miners used for Eth need to be updated to support the new ETC algo. So if Nicehash sends a request to the miner to switch to ETC and the miner isnt updated it will only provide invalid shares. I'm sure in a month or two they will add support for it.

Also a head up if you got a Ledger hardware wallet, apparently some people are getting a phishing email with their real name providing a fake Ledger website which tries to steal your key. So keep it safe out there. This is similar to the Electrum phishing attack a few years back. If you are in a hurry to sell your BTC, you might overlook a few things and rush and then get your BTC stolen. So always be cautious.
maybe it is considered to be an algo shift due to 3gb.
maybe nice hash will need to create a different rental section and are not prepped yet. So in a week or 2 they do it.
It caused a bump to 299 th hash rate for eth

ok, yes. understand your situation, thought it might be "space/density" criteria. good luck and lets keep on mining!! 
I am very close to all gear paid off.
I purchased quite a few cards from July to Nov this year.
I think 12100 worth.
I sold some cards
dropping cash out of pocket down to
10k
I mined back a lot of the 10k
Gear Should pay off by years end.
Note I had 25 cards mining ⛏ before I put the money in.
I plowed all the card earnings into paying cards off.
So this round of card investment worked out for me.
I now have
11x 1080tis
2x 1660tis
1x 1660
1x 1650
3x 3080
20x 5700xt
20x 5600
8x 5500
ok, yes. understand your situation, thought it might be "space/density" criteria. good luck and lets keep on mining!!
hi phill...take it you mining ether with these nvidia? can understand if its a "density/space issue but the price of these newer gen amd/nvidia gpu's against say 5700's still dont make economic sense from current eth earnings/revenue pov
the nvidia 3080 makes some sense.
the 6800xt does not unless it improves with more software.
a 3080 costing 813 and doing 93 mh. and 240 watts
is very close to 2 power color red dragon 5700 xt costing 831 and doing 102 mh at 212 watts
if I have this board.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Onda-B250-D8P-D4-Ver-1-00-12-GPU-Mining-Motherboard/143840755013?
it costs 210 and does 4 cards next to perfection
so 4x 93 = 372
or 4x 51 = 204
I need more boards more space and have to pay more to simpleminer.
6 boards gives 2232gh for the 3080
10 boards gives 2040gh for the 5700xt
so 4 x 210 = 840
and 8 x12 = 96 a year less to simpleminer
I have reached my space limits so I have to consider density.
I am selling off all the older nvidia and replace with nvidia 3080 card.
3 blower 1080ti's
8 hybrid 1080ti's 5 are msi/corsair 3 are evga
2 evga 1660ti's
1 evga 1660
1 zotac 1660ti
this is 15 slots or 4 boards. gives me 540 gh.
I can replace with six 3080s. 2 boards
or 11 amd 5700xt. 3 boards
I have the boards
so I would save 24 a year to simple miner
6 x 3080 at 813 = 4878. 558 hash. 1434 software watts
11 x 5700xt at 415 = 4565. 561 hash. 1111 software watts
close enough fo me to go with the 3080's
my issue in Clifton Is not cooling or watts.
I can do 200kwatts an hour
I only am doing 120kwatts
but space is lacking.

So I am getting a third card from minefarmbuy.com it is an evga 3080
first two do 92-95 mh solid no issues.
They have a bigger markup now that the amd 6800xt have launched and show only 60-70 mh.
i think he has a preorder for the sapphire 6800xt
should ship on dec 20.
he has a smaller markup and free shipping for them.
695 vs 649
if you really want an amd it is a decent price.
I paid 856 for my evga.
it lists at 769 but between all the deals with my cc and paypal. my cost for these cards
was 2x856= 1712-75 or 1637 for two. that is 818 each free shipping and 90 days to pay no interest.
1 card was 856. 180 days to pay not interest.
If evga had them in stock 769 + 54 tax = 823 six months to pay

The only miner I got left is an Antminer S3 that I decided to keep for my Bitcoin Mining museum. Decided to plug in the numbers and see what price BTC needs to hit to break-even with $0.10 power costs. The answer is $246,000 BTCUSD assuming difficulty stays constant which obviously it won't.
I remember a few years back for fun, I ran it on the ck solo pool hoping to hit a block and no dice. Didn't even come close by the amount of largest shares that I found. Ran it for maybe 9 months before calling it quits. Wonder if it eventually would of found a block... probably not. According to that ck solo pool thread on bitcointalk, I don't think an S3 ever found a block, most recent was maybe an Antminer S5.

the Avalon can be quiet and is a decent space heater.
Electricity is at $.155/kw.
Avalon 720's
I even have a new Whatminer M3 that was not profitable to run by the time I got it.

Are those (Avalon 720s) the one on 16nm of around 900W with 6TH/s?
If yes, they are quite old and I'd rather sell that one to someone who has free or almost free electricity.
I'd do same with M3 as well, not sure how much you waited for those units, but they were quite profitable back in their days IIRC.
Nowadays, they are as useful as usb bitcoin miners.

Bitcoin at $19,000.
Just think, it only has to go up $30,000 more and I can turn on the Avalon's I just had to have!
