The green LEDs reminds me years ago how I had an Antminer that I kept in my bedroom and slept next to it because the fan noise helped me sleep during the day. This was an Antminer S2 which I undervolted so it ran at like 750Ghs instead of 1TH/s so the fans didn't need to run as fast and it made a nice and soft noise which was perfect for sleeping. However the most annoying thing were the damn LEDs which blinked like CRAZY and you couldn't disable them.
I am not talking about the LAN LED but each hashing board had some LEDs which blinked whenever some work was found, share found, or whatever reason. There were 10 hashing boards so you can imagine the amount of crazy firework show I could see in the dark. Only way to disable them was to desolder them from the hashing board. I tried covering them up with electrical tape but the heat would make them come off and fans would blow them out. But yes, those LEDs are useless. I think they were mostly there for debugging purposes when the board was being testing during production.

yeah thats all they do. Totally useless.
Thanks for the kind feedback. Risers are mostly 6pin, ver 9c? i think. I bought a hundred or two off alibaba in 2017 for maybe 3-4usd each. They work very well but the green leds are really annoying and useless. I mix 6pin and molex risers depending on how many pcie cables I have for the psu.
If the green led is not lit the riser is dead?
only needed if the card has no lighting?
your cards are lit up and they are hashing. and the green leds are lit.
The greed leds are only an indicator for power to the pcie connector . green light is not an indicator of hashing.
So they would only indicate pcie is off.
Yeah not much good as the sapphire leds would do the same.

So it looks like difficulty bomb will be hit at the end of June 2021, about 7.5 months from now. At that point ETH profitability will tank and I fully expect Vitalik to drop the block reward to 1 ETH or even cancel transaction fees to miners. If that's the case I can't see any of my cards being paid off in a reasonable time. It sucks because we're heading into winter but I think I'm going to just sit on the sidelines for the next round and just pick up on any crashes. Perhaps ETC can pick up some slack, but the 4GB cards are all going to slam that coin.
I would buy three or four more 3080s. but my discount caps at 5% of 1500.
since I paid 856 a card I capped out my 5% cc discount along with my take six months to pay at a cost of only a 12 dollar fee.
still three of these should do about 285 mh which is about 7 a day.
cost was 3x856= 2568-75= 2493- 1600 for the five 1080tis so i am out of pocket 893+12= 905
I have six months to pay. should pay it about four months.
All cards will pay off soon.
You always seem to get decent pricing. I live so close to Newegg I can do will-call, but that means I have to pay 10% sales tax bumping my cost to $880 a card. My credit cards only give me a 2% option at Newegg. I could do 5% at Amazon but those cards are insta-botted so that's a futile effort.
I could get rid of my older 1070s that have dropped down to 26MH/s but it's been hard trying to sell them locally. The 1080Ti held is value better. Oddly I was able to sell 1060 3GB cards I was gaming with in June for $130 - now I can't get rid of those for $80.
I think a lot of gamers mine a bit so 3gb cards are dead to them.
I work hard to find prices. I have been trying to find 3080's for just about 2 months.
I finally found some one. He was fair about the markup so I can live with the price I paid over market.
In a magical world where evga.com was a direct contact (they are not) Would have paid 769-5% + 7% which is 784.38 and about 26 to ship = 810.38. I would have also had 75 off
so 3 x 810.38 = 2431.14-75= 2356.14 and six months to pay if they were easy stock vs 2493 with hard stock. but the extra 137 for the 3 is worth it. I also suspect that if evga had these easy peasy I would not have sold off my 5 1080ti's for 1600.
I listed 4 hybrids for next sale.

I would want a bit more maybe 350-375 each

That is beautiful!
What risers do you use if I may ask?

Its fun getting started with rigs again.
i had withdrawal issues when i didnt have any gear running, always had seti/folding rigs before bitcoin or gpu/fpga/asics for bitcoin for the longest time. stopped for a year when asics became beasts that were not really home friendly and couldnt stand it, so built a gpu shitcoin rig just to have that nice white noise hum in the basement heh
thanks I built another 6gpu rig 5700xt today, ill post pics its nice, on a wire rack. I'm basically using all my psu's and motherboards I have left. Mobo was easy, it was a B250 mining with the 13 pcie slots. 2 1000w evga GQ. 1-8pin+1-6pin+1-6pin or molex for each gpu makes for a lot of cables. I have a bunch of old psu adapters for 2 gpu rigs if anyone needs ill give you a couple, and the usb-m.2 slot adapters for adding a 7 or 8th gpu to the mobo. Its fun getting started with rigs again.

yeah i always cash in an extra 20-30% or so and keep it in fiat as this prevents unpleasant surprises if the price tanks; i just stick it in a cd or something. it may leave profits on the table but i have no urge to owe the irs money or have to sell coin at a crappy price. or sell any other assets to cover taxes.
Hmm a bit offtopic: As stores that accept bitcoin are extremely limited, how would you proceed to make purchases on other "normal" stores?
Convert to USD through Coinbase and then purchase with USD?!Edit: Phil was faster
No worries. Great minds think alike.
The advice is good for USA citizens.
