Topic: Sixth alt coin thread I forgot to mod last thread. - page 52. (Read 80191 times)

yeah im selling a bit. i had hoped to wait till the new year as then we will have a nice federal tax credit for that year because we will have a 6 kw (maybe 12, we are debating) solar system put in and it will offset offset the taxes from selling any decent amount of coin. but this price is too good to pass up cashing in a bit.

and this morning I cashed some in at 10900

At this point  take some fucking profit.

@ gabryrox       if you have 3 coins  at coinbase don't sell  10 %  sell   1% often.

3 coins = 32700   1% = 327

I saw the market in the 90's  some of my friends had millions.

I begged them to cash  ¼ and buy 30 US bonds giving 8% interest.   they would still be getting 80 k on every million in bonds they purchased

on guy  the banker   peaked at 39 million in 2000   I could not convince to buy any 30 year bonds.

So maybe I can convince you to sell  some of you coins at 10,500 plus

Even if it is 1% a day for the next 5 days.


Yeah  If I did not sell a single coin  I would have more  then I have, but I got a lot my way with no stress.

I used a pi with minera installed..... was pretty painless and auto-rebooted on dead devices =)  I still have a few 4-stacks of orbs somewhere myself....

And theres a 30Mh scrypt unit (zeus?) that I could try and fix....

more or less....and a decent USB hub.

Even S7s are going online now Phil.... every single ounce of hash now will make money.

I found a box of Gridseed Orbs in the store room.... cant recall how this thing worked - it needs a Raspberry Pi?

Well I cashed some at 9900
I cashed some at 10,400

At this point I may cash everything.

Not much coin left to cash been cashing in every day since we got over 8000.

There is no such thing as a bad profit.

There will always be trades to make every day 24x7 - crypto trading doesn't take breaks.

Got lucky on NEO at 7$.... the rest is history  

I put the Vega rig on hold for awhile, its acting up during driver installation - I may have to redo the whole Win10 install.

Due to the fantastic BTC price, I am consolidating old 290s,370s and 390s back into action for Equihash and Cryptonite at NH.

Good discussion on 1070/to/1080s here but Im just getting more confused now lol! But really, I think the best point made was that these 3 can be so close in performance, it's all about getting the best deal, so I think that's the stance I'm going to take on building this rig.

Meanwhile, BTC and almost all Alts continue going through the roof. This is really astounding... several times over the past few weeks I have been on the cusp of selling off maybe 10% of my portfolio but then i stopped myself every time and now very glad i did.  It's very hard to make yourself sell in a market like this, but eventually I really need to cuz there is no way this can continue, can it?!?!

A couple of trading nuggets over the last weeks...

- good:  bought into Cardano (ADA) at .02 and it's now at .15 and up almost 200% over past 24 hours!
- bad:   I was on the cusp of buying into IOTA when it was at ~.35 cents just about 2 weeks ago. For some reason, I didn't do it, now kicking myself cuz it's now at $1.50!

BTC just ecplipsed $10k and doesn't appear to be stopping! ETH almost $500, XMR just broke $200... even ETC getting tasty at $32!  And LTC broke $100!  Damn, I again missed that boat... was heavily considering a bit buy-in when it was at $4... this was back when XMR started it's initial rise to $50-$60 and a lot of poeple thought LTC would follow... sure enough it did, which prohibited me from buying in. Oh well. water under the bridge lol.

I just got my replacement gtx980 fans from amazon....


take the fan off the heatsync, and look at the label in the rear.  search the part number, im pretty sure you will find results and it fitting multiple models (such as r-series AMD, and nvidia alike)

This is what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M4L4V7L

I needed to clip a little plastic tab off mine for mounting, but it fit fine otherwise.  some GFX cards had a screw/mount there.

Hope it helps

they saids 15 to 35 days turn around.. so  that would be dec 13 to Jan 2  wonder which one it will be closer to

I am shifting more towards evga the last orders.

I repaired the asus   blower by pulling the blower fan and putting this fan on the casing

I may order this one

I read somewhere that that is the problem with the 1080.
If I find the article, I'll post it.

Edit: Here's the article but it is comparing ETHASH performance. It says:
"We talked to NVIDIA about this and they said it’s because the Ethereum base code fits the GDDR5 latency characteristics better than GDDR5X....."

We had 2 MSI 1080 (non Ti) Aero GPUs arrive defective from the factory in the same order earlier this year (both of them would overheat within a few minutes even with reduced power limits and 100% fan). We also had a MSI Armor 1080 purchased around the same time that was wonky (all sorts of errors on multiple test machines) and got RMAed at the same time. This was when the mining craze was getting ridiculous and I think Quality Control was rushed and really sloppy on that batch from MSI.

I think that is a very plausible theory.  I can definitely confirm that it's a better algorithm for a GTX 1060/70 then it is for the GTX 1080/Ti series. If we have any of our rigs pointed at Nicehash it's pretty common to have the 1060s on Neoscrypt and the 1080s on Equihash etc. (using the auto switch feature).

What surprises me is the relative underperformance of 1080's in Neoscrypt... Is there a good reason why they don't hash faster than the 1070's? Is that GDDR5X related? The 1080 Ti's do hash a bit faster, but not a lot, which would confirm my theory...

 In my testing DSTM is a mixed bag - tends to be a tossup AT BEST when running 1080 and 1070ti cards near their most efficient point, and is flat out inferior AT ALL POINTS on the Aorus 1080 ti I did my initial testing of it with.

 It DOES seem to work better on 1070ti and 1080 cards once you push them above 70% TDP or so.

 I have NOT seen consistant 4.7 figures out of it like Voskcoin claims, though I've it hit that on PEAKS of efficiency occasionally in my testing.

 I have NOT (yet) tested it on any 1070 model - might get around to doing that today as I'm starting to plan how I'm going to shift cards around as I start conversions of my older 3-card FAH rigs into 5 card riser-based rigs.

 Yes, 1080 cards push higher than 1070 ti cards if you run them at higher power - but they don't push 10% higher and they DO tend to cost about 10% higher even factoring system costs per card and both cards get a LOT less efficient.

 In my case, I was looking at them at the MOST EFFICIENT point, where the 1080 has ZERO advantage over the 1070 ti and 5 of either card will fit into my "6 amp draw" builds so I can put 2 rigs on a single standard 15 amp 110 circuit safely.

 IF you can get a 1080 for the same as a 1070 ti of the same model, definitely go for it - or if it's CLOSE on price on a sale or some such.

Hi guys,
I'm telling it here because it's in Phil's thread I learnt the most and had help from you guys when I needed.
I'm about to receive a brand new batch of 10x RX570 Asus !
Ordered 6 months ago, they finally shipped them to me. But I don't have enough power to use them.
I don't plan to make and adv for it, but if some of you guys want to expand, there is 10 RXs ready to work in Europe. (worldwide shipping of course)

NB : I don't know if the GPUs are beginning to be again available or if I'm just lucky. But a $2+ perd day per card, they are still a good bet today.

I do nicehash.

The weekly payoff saves a lot of tx fees for me as I move coins around a lot

i have revived fans using 3 in 1 oil (or any very light oil like sewing machine oil). if you peel the sticker off the backside of the motor you can put a few drops into the exposed bearing and seal it back up. sometimes there is a rubber stopper type of thing you have to pry out.

but usually within a few months i would have to do it again.

My S9s and A721s, A741s (hosted at eastside of Canada) are parked at viaBTC.com and Nicehash.com.

Btw,,, east, west, central whatever... I dont think that matters as long as you are in US. You should do a ping test instead, IMHO.

"China" pools like Antpool, f2pool, viaBTC have nodes all over the place using AWS and Alibaba.
