Hmm a bit offtopic: As stores that accept bitcoin are extremely limited, how would you proceed to make purchases on other "normal" stores?

I would convert to cash on coinbase if I were a USA 🇺🇸 citizen.

nice, i need a 3080 too Sad 
New rig I just did, 8x5700xt sapphire, 55mhs each @ 110w gpuz, 155-160watts at the wall (120v, 80+ psu).  Big difference in quality, stability vs asrock for example.  Might try to shave 10w off each if it runs a week without a restart.

what motherboard are you using?  or are you using an adapter to get 8 gpu?

Yeah! me. 

I finally snagged a card

 Nvidia EVGA 10g-p5-3885-kr

a small mark up  

I paid 856

used PayPal

six months to pay.  




Got two of the Founders Edition cards for a build for work, through our HPC supplier.
They seem to be getting back in stock but are slightly upmarked. We paid 770 each. Are the founders edition cards also good for mining? Might have to test and stress test the equipment, before we use it Wink

 

they may sag if you try for 95-100 mh

try for 90-95 mh

set memory freq a bit over stock or stock.
lower core a bit
jack fan to 75%
set power tdp at 70%.

see what it gives you and see if it fades lower after 2 hours.

I'm holding out until the new AMD cards are released later this month. I hope they are as good as the 5700XT's...

Well if it was true cost 769 + 54 tax = 823 and direct from EVGA I would have got 4 pieces

I got just the one and paid the 856.
I will hook it up with the threadripper 3970x.
The unit should pull 400-500 watts and will run in my house as a space heater until April.

I am also waiting for the better amd but I am not a fan of either. I just want good cards.





I stopped mining at nicehash due to poor stability.
I have almost every rig point at viabtc.com it is a very stable 1.85gh

Once I figure out  which I like more of I will push to get 20x of them.

I will be selling off all the 1080ti's

the microcenter near me just got thirty 3090.  cheapest one was $1800... i was there looking to score 5xxx cpu, but no luck.  $1800 just isn't worth it for the 3090... i grabbed a msi 5700 XT return for $360 instead.  i'll wait for 3070/3080 to come into stock ... like everyone else.

Are you mining Monero with the Threadripper?

I'm still having stability issues on NiceHash with SimpleMinerOS restarting on a regular basis and it's frustrating. I've been mining on Ethermine, but that means that I'm accumulating ETH instead of BTC.

I didn't bother going to VIABTC because I'm only running 1 rig with 4 cards and it will take me months to get a payout.

1.85 gh on viabtc takes 10 days to earn a coin. it will go to my coinbase account. i will cash it when it comes. not an eth fan. I still have two coins stuck in an old wallet which I will most likely never recover.
I should try to recover them again. have not tried since last year.

i mine monero with my two thread rippers. 
22000 for the 3960
28000 for the 3970

i have amd 5500 card on each rig.

they earn a small profit
they heat my house 

the threadrippers clock at 1.05 volts and at 3200 freq
the amd run 25 mh at 70 watts.

the two rigs earn about 4-5 a day and burn about 15 kwatts so if you have 20 cent power they make 1-2 a day and provide heat.

I have not turned my furnace on since march.
Once it gets to 35 f i need to turn some heat on.

but all of the above cost $$$ close to 4k .  now I sold older gear to help lower that bill.

and will likely sell these in april to upgrade to newer gear.

these are more for bragging rights then for profit as my home power is 10 cents for five months a year and 18 cents for 7 months a year.

they should give him bitcoin...Anyways call me crazy but since I sold my 4gb cards in the last profitability pump I bought some 5700s but mostly waited to see 3080s and rdna2.  I just bought some nice sapphire 5700xt at a decent price.  Still waiting to buy just one! 3080, and I doubt rdna2 will be available at launch as well.  Even then, its still gddr6 but with bandwidth increase.  Comes with price increase too.  So screw it, going the 5700xt way.  That is the way.  I'll be back buying if I can but I doubt it.  Gonna be hyped for when nvidia goes to tmsc 7nm in 2021.

Anyone check the new consoles yet ?  Might be cheaper to figure out how to mine with them, rdna2 10gb+ cheaper than just one 5700xt........

Hey. I take any coin.. I don't mind shit coins.


Today Best Buy had some 3080 and some 3090 and I got locked out of every purchase.
I can get an entire pc with a 3080 for about 1900 but not looking for that.

I would like a 3090 from Best Buy just to hook it up with the ryzen threadripper for  a few months.

Then return it or sell it or keep it.

Best Buy and amazon both have nice holiday return policy.  Which do me no good if I can't buy the card.

More often then not I keep them or sell them to someone here.
