keep up the good work, Vosk! Thanks for the info.
thanks my friend truly appreciate the support, I don't plan on slowing down 2018 will be our year brother!

Vosk are you still high on zen? I know you've been mining it since before the huge runup earlier this year. Is it still worthwhile
Absolutely man, sorry late reply, if you look at what their team is doing first some of the top 25 coins. . you may start to wonder when their coin will be up there

Partizanai, thanks for your reply, your are correct with that timing you mention there is plenty of time, thanks for the good news. BTW I have ventured away from eth already, but I guess now is the time to return with the last price I saw.....

Why 6gb cards?
that's what he wanted to do, what would you have suggested?I built my rig using 3 gb cards.
Would be interesting to know the performance difference between 3gb and 6gb.
I did read that people say you need the 6gb soon because of the size of Ethereum’s DAG file.
....but I forget the estimated date for this to be an issue.....
....comments?
You have less than a year for DAG to kill off 3GB cards, DAG is not expected to hit 3GB until 29th Nov 2018, imo your 3GB card will pay form themselves and leave u some profit until that time. plus you will be able to mine something else, so no biggie

Hi,
This has gone away from the original topic, but still interesting.....
just thinking about electricity costs in other places too, not only South America.
Would anybody like to share their prices?
For me here in Czech Republic I work on approx. 0.1 USD per unit (kW)

Prices and availability make that a little hard to build right now and will have such a long break-even time based on the current costs, if you can find them.
what do you think the best rig(s) to build right now are?I think its a toss up right now depending on your budget. A 6x 1070 Ti rig would be my preferred build if you can find the cards for the right prices. Outside of that I like the 1070s. I have been running a mix of rigs with both versions and they perform extremely well. If you are going for a budget build then I agree with the 1060 6gb version. The reason I dont like the 3gb is the resale value and long term hold up as difficulty increases. While that may not be for awhile its nice to know the 6gb wont be effected anytime soon.

Those 6GB cards Hynix? because that's some poor ETH hash, 20 per card? Not a fan of PNY but for the price your friend got them for, they're probably not too bad.

I wish I could mine any altcoins, but in Brazil, the electricity is extremely expensive 
whats the price per kWh? & what do computer/rig parts cost there?This is an electricity bill from some dude that tried to mine by himself using only his computer
R$ 1 944,84 = 590,706253 U.S. dollars
The Brazilian minimal wage is 284 U.S. dollars ONLY. The government is not interested to see poor people getting rich, that's why they leave the electricity companies charges whatever they want.

whats the price per kWh? & what do computer/rig parts cost there?The kW/h costs R$ 0,40899000 (around 0,124222533 U.S. dollars) but there are other taxes (TE, PIS/PASEP, COFINS, ICMS) that double this cost. I saw someone selling on Facebook one basic rig for R$ 20K (around 6074.6 U.S. dollars) but the seller seemed dodge. If I had solar power in my house I would be a miner!
It doesn't exist a single block mined in South America, which is a shame since Brazilians are very much into BTC and altcoins.

that's what he wanted to do, what would you have suggested?A RX VEGA rig will be nice.
