Baikal$$$ !

No use mining using GPU, its just too small of hash and takes too much power compared to ASICs.

I have experimented with RX480 rig before, using sgminer v5.5, use -k x11 algorithm to mine.

RX480 x 6xGPU rig at best 50MHs, vs smallest model Baikal 150MHs Asics miner selling just under 500$

Dash is mined with Asics

What is more profitable today?

ETH@$32 or DASH@$100?

Is anyone using RX4xx for DASH?  What is the profitability per day?

hmmm... let me test Claymore vs Optiminer and see if it gives me full speed all 8 GPUs.

I did have GPU 4 acting funky when mining with Claymore ETH - eventually it will shut off GPU 4 and I am left with 7 GPUs.

Maybe this is miner related on how they "optimise" and now using that -asm witchcraft.

I have stock pandaminer  on 1 from smOS  looks to me that i do only 7 gpus 2005 sols. 

gpu 6  gives me trouble at 1 it shuts down. note gpu 6 has been having issues for a few weeks.

 my amps are 3.9 x 240 = 936 (will double check this)

I dont know what sorcery code Tytanick got from Wolf but I am at undervolt "2" (1100/2125/2) with already modded low power rom (wow!)

ZEC mining 6 x 480s at 1140watts @ 4.554 amps @ 1668 sols/s with Optiminer v1.7 <--- can anyone confirm is this is good or no good?

I was expecting an even lower amps with undervolt =2

Meanwhile on Eliovp's custom Panda rom mod (with smOS, no undervolt ie. 1145/2050/7)

ZEC mining 8 x 480mx at 1025watts @ 4.525 amps @ 2233 sols/s with Optiminer v1.7

Bottomline, I think smOS latest power features are excellent for non-rom-mods stock GPU rigs.

IMHO, custom rom mods will short cut any software power utilities but the price to pay is to get your GPU out of warranty because of the custom mod.

Both ways, smOS is perfect for all miner types.

Nice results with smOS

I get very good numbers
dual mining

hmmmm indeed - did you see that payrate at NH X11.... just OMG!

mmmmmmm baikals

Ive always had the inside conception that BTC should be used for large and storage type purchasing, and an alt or some alts should be used for micro payments....

I think BTC has matured and the ETF acid-test was proof of that - rebounding quickly shows BTC true character and potential.

ETH and DASH moving up like this brings back some lovely memories from last year.

Never forget Phil's sig --- BTC superhighway and the Alts that moving things around -- how relevant that is now in the last 2 days.

There is a lot of gear mining btc and a huge market cap.

I recall when we first bought a few singles (to try out), I just dropped them an email and they confirmed the order via email and BTC address to send to. After that, we continued building the X11 farm and got input from them on how to progressively scale-up following their product roadmap.

Of course, we kind of developed a good interaction over Skype and chat, over time. And got some insights on the Giant model that they are working on. We got one of the first few batches of Giants from them. They are also a good source of information on whats brewing over the iron curtain.

I didnt realise that there is an order system online. Hope you are at correct website  

 I have to say, the last 28 hours have been very interesting in the crypto world.  When the news hit about the SEC rejection yesterday, I checked my crypto tracking app and see all the coins I hold down 20%+, with the exception of ETH that was only down about 6%. Still, it's daunting to see 25% of your value drop instantly like that. But, what has happened since then has been nothing short of amazing!  I am still only a few months into this scene and learning as i go, but to see that huge drop and now only a day later, to actually be up about 7-8% overall is really something!  Personally, I think this a great sign of resiliency for not only BTC, but for most of the alt coins out there as well. In fact, at least at this point, most alts are doing better vs BTC, but even to see BTC back around $1200 is pretty dang good in my eyes after that rejection by the SEC.

I was particularly impressed by ETH, which as luck would have it, is my 2nd highest holding next to BTC.  I have actually been only accumulating it via mining in preparation for holding a decent chunk when ETH eventually goes POS, but I certainly didn't expect 1) it to be the least affected of pretty much any major alt after the SEC decision and 2) it to now be pushing $22 per coin.  Only time will tell what will happen with BTC and alts in the long-run, but this big bounce-back certainly at least seems to be a very good sign... especially since it was almost consensus that the last 2-3 week's gains were mostly based on hope that the SEC would approve the BTC ETF!

yeah I never seen a really long spike  but this one is strong.  You have the one so make some coin with it.

yeah, i would agree with that if I were over-leveraged in x11 gear and it would be a good time to auto-ROI some extra x11 miners for sure with prices approaching 3x now.  Unfortunately, I am under-leveraged in x11 gear, which is why I've been searching for a decent deal on another Mini, but it's not likely to happen at this point... unless of course Baikal has another production batch ready soon.  But, even if that happens, it wold stand to reason that they would raise their prices above the current $300.  Bottom line is that the cheapest one I can find available right now is $700 lol!  I might be willing to pay like a $100 premium, but certainly not going to pay a $400 premium lol.  If i was even thinking about paying close to that much, I would just opt for the $2,300 Giant... although those will probably be gone soon too if not already after this most recent spike in Dash.

this is the time to be selling them  not buying them.

if you have 3 sell one at a good premium

It knocks your ROI  down to   to next to no time at all.

It is not the time to buy them at a premium.

THIS  pattern of gear scarce price high is most often followed by a price crash.

Meanwhile the other coins are doing well.

if you have a 300 dollar mini and sell it for say 495

you could get three of these

I think in the long run  hedging some of you in hand Baikal if you have them  is the way to go.

The Baikals are pretty awesome.
but their 900 is worth double their 600, how are they even selling? that's crazy.
Wish I could find a stable location to buy from. their website is a joke to order off.
How can any present day business online have such a piss poor online order form???

Wow! That is a dang impressive Baikal set-up!!!  Im definately aware of their quad model as I've inquired with Baikal about it as well but of course, since Mini's are out of stock and it is indeed just 4 mini's, the quads aren't available either  I would probably be able to pull the trigger if I could get a quad at their regular price of $1,200, but I just cant do twice that for the Giant.  The secondary market is crazy right now... most places out of stock and those selling like on ebay or other market places are now approaching close to 3x the original $300 tag for a mini.  

Look at this auction on ebay... 31 bids already at $625 with 2 hours left. And, his reserve isn't even met yet lol. Usually putting a high reserve on an item is the kiss of death but not in this case. Curious to see how high this goes cuz even with Dash over $70 now, the ROI is too long if you have to pay $800 for a $300 unit.  Sure, maybe Dash will go above $100 but Im no willing to take that bet right now.

Out of curiosity, do you know about how much premium (as a %) you are getting by selling x11 hash through NiceHash over the past couple of weeks?  Personally, I want to try to accumulate a bit of Dash with my puny little 1 Mini setup, but of that premium is high enough, I could still just buy Dash with the BTC I earned if switching to NiceHash.
