I agree, octopus is nice choice for 3060, but ETH much more stable. And i agree again, that there are other coins, that we can mine with 3060 more profitable then ETH. But $80 is not a high price to mine everything without any restrictions.

Any gpu you buy at msrp is a good deal at moment regardless of the hashrate because you could in turn become a scalper yourself hehe, I mean buy at msrp and then sell for at least 100% profit, buy for 400 usd and then sell for 800 usd to idiots.

Sure. But i have no opportunity to get such prices. I`ve bought some GPUs last summer-autumn(there were nice prices

) and sold old GPUs february-march. I think it was nice deal.

if you are USA based newegg has the shuffle I got six cards at small markups from them since January.

Thx. Im not USA based, but i have relatives in USA that can try to buy. How much times - does not matter, this is just an additional chance.

I`d preffered 3060ti. For ETH it`s much better then 3060(for this moment) and for other coins - it`s better or same. If ETH goes to PoS - 3060 hash will be little less then 3060ti, but if ETH will be PoW for 2-3 months - you will mine at this time all price difference.

yeah that might be true, however 3060Ti for 1200Eur or 3060 for 550-800 its big difference here.. i can convert cfx to eth if needed, yes it will be less, but 400eur is big difference and i dont think i will mine 400 for each card in addition what i would mine regularly. however that's my opinion taking into account my local situation.

philipma1957 tells about 20% difference between them. and it is about $100 if i understand everything correct.
PS. i want to buy any of these GPU for such prices

I paid 399 + 28 tax = 427 for this 3060 and I have six months to pay.

So why not it makes enough with octopus to justify using it for 428 price.

I only buy from newegg when I hit the newegg shuffle I buy the card offered.

They are close to retail price.

I am using rtx 3060, PL 75, core +100, mem +1000

best efficiency is when using PL65 - 329Mhs (377khW) or PL70 345Mhs (371khW)

Interesting finding on my end.

I have tried same clocks as i was using for ETH to mine CFX but i am getting much lower hash rate. (Mining ETH i get 63-64 per card, total power draw around 1200W / 10 GPUs)
My problem is if i give it more power i will reach PSU limits as i have 10 cards in this rig:

Do you have any suggestion of how should i optimize this to get as much as possible hash power.

PSU i am using is EVGA 1600 G+

Add another power supply, you will pay for it in a day.

thinking of getting 4-5 3060 over 6700xt's. octopus still looking profitable, at least short term(fingers crossed Grin

)

I can't justify buying AMD now. Once eth is pos your algos are very limited with AMD compared to Navidia.

I wonder if eth will go pos.

It may simply alter fees structure and tweak algo.

still runnning the one card it was hot the other day and I shut down but it is making more than 2 bucks a day.

it made 0.0006 btc in 11 days

and it was shut down 1 whole day on friday.

0.0006 btc = 33 usd

so it would pay off in around 130 days for me.

What miner are you using? T. Rex runs on my 2060 supers at 44-47 but won't run on my 3060s in SMOS.

try these miners
https://help.nanopool.org/article/203-nbminer
https://help.nanopool.org/article/204-nanominer-nvidia
Perhaps there are no normal drivers for Linux. 3060 is still used for mining on Windows.
Wait for driver updates or update miners from the list

I turned off all gear today as it is too hot.

but the octopus was smos and nbminer

nbminer-nebutech-v36.1

-a octopus -o stratum+tcp://octopus.eu-west.nicehash.com:3389 -u 1JdC6Xg3ajT3rge3FgPNSYYFpmf53Vbtje.oct --api 127.0.0.1:22333

works great and makes about $1.75 a day

Which is okay. but not as good as eth.
