Riding the Crypto wave

[FireFox]

No problem, I'll just have a look in the couch

Btw, a few 1060s/70s/80s will give few good money, at least i can't complain at all of my 1060s and the 1080, i have been mining for 11 days and so far i have got two payments first one €48 and the second one 31€, tomorrow i get another one it should be around 45€+ that's 124€+ in 12 days, and honestly my 1080 haven't been mining full time.

I could get a 1060... but I don't really want that. I want the RX580, it'll do better. They're out of stock everywhere, though. I guess it's a waiting game.

Are things like the Antminer series still a thing? If so, why is nobody talking about it here? They seem exponentially more powerful than these GPUs we're playing with. The older Antminer s7 advertises a hash rate around 4.73TH/s. That's many orders of magnitude stronger than an RX580.

Jesus people are taking advantage aren't they? RX480 on ebay for 2x the retail price. When exactly did mining blow up again?

Over here, even the 1060/1070/1080's are now hard to find at reasonable prices. People are selling 2nd hand for 1.5x retail value or more.

I just sold my 1060 and was very tempted just to put it on Facebook to see what I could get, but I ended up selling it to a friend at a reasonable price. I even through in an old Q9650 system as he was going to build a PC month-by-month as his paycheck came in

I have half of my rx470s on ebay right now, half of them have been paid for the other half where ebay trolls with under 5 feedback.

 

[hat]

It's a tough decision. Wait an unknown period of time for what I really want, or jump on right now with something of lesser performance? :/

It actually isn't just eBay trolls anymore. I sold my stuff to a couple low feedback people without issue. Right now people just want the cards and don't care where it comes from.

Or price, I have 29 rx570 coming this week, I'm going to sell them all and go all 1060 6gb.

Even those are getting to be a pain to come buy. I want these mining cards to hit already I have been putting away all my bitcoin money to grab some lol

I'm seriously considering going for another 1080. The price, new, on amazon.co.uk is under what you pay for them second hand here anyway, so I figure I can always resell one later.

On the note of mining cards look what is on the web already...

And then w1z slipping things in as well

I had to preorder all of them and wait 3 weeks to get them.

Looking at getting the Gigabyte 1080ti as W1zz gave it a 9.9, and it has 4 year warranty. I like to keep my stuff for long time... still on a 7870 xt le...

Shouldn't take to long to pay for its self.

Edit: also if I get a 1060 or 2 of them can it be in the same system and mining?

Edit: just remembered Vega is coming soon, any ideas on its hashrate?

As you can see my Gaming Machine and 2 x 1060 for Mining.

Too early to say?

I could get a 1060... but I don't really want that. I want the RX580, it'll do better

RX 580 4GB - +864.63€ net yearly ( power cost 341.56€ )

RX 580 8GB - +999.08€ net yearly ( power cost 432.64€ )

1060 6GB - +908.69€ net yearly ( power cost 227.71€ )

As you can see the 1060 gives you a few $/€ more over the RX 580 4GB and you pay 113.85€ less of Electricity yearly, the RX 580 8GB gives you a few $/€ more over the 1060 but cost you 204.93€ more of Electricity yearly, that said with 2 x 1060 you earn a lot of more $/€ than with a single RX 580 8GB and the 2 x 1060 will cost you yearly almost the same or a little less of electricity bill.

Note: the 227.71€ power cost of the 1060 it is if running the card at stock voltages, both of my 1060s are running at 0.9V and consuming just 95W.

So I passed a few firsts last night, made my first Bat file , never knew it was so easy and had no reason to try before.
And I got my main listed rig dual mining decred , im upto £10.50 a day on that pc no effect on eth hashrate despite more load and a weather fearing downclock they're still at 30Mhs.
I hadn't ticked the right boxes or ran benches for decred apparently, who knew .

I wanted to share this video with all my fellow Miners:

At first I wondered why you might do that... but then:

I see the difference isn't so big after all. I may as well take the 1060 if I can get it.

I could get a GTX1080, instead. Or would the 1070 be a better buy? Isn't there some problem with the 1080 and the GDDR5x it uses compared to standard GDDR5 on the 1070?

The 1080 has loser memory timing and much higher price per hash or mining speed. But it really depends if you are picking up a 1080 or 12 1080s for gaming or mining. The 1070 is better on mining speed vs the 1080 per price ratio. But the 1060 has the fastest return on investment (ROI).

I could care less about gaming on these cards. I'm still okay with my 660 ti as far as that's concerned.

Eventually I'm looking at picking up another two cards after this initial endeavor, along with a power supply, and cheap board/ram/cpu for my second computer as my existing board only has one pci-e x16, and the power supply in there can't handle doodoo. After that I can't handle anything more. The lack of electrical power and physical space here won't allow it. I plan on using whatever profits I generate to buy more equipment until I just sit and let it earn for me, so that'll be a wait. Maybe by then those specialized mining cards will be out.

My 1080 earn me more than my 1060s and you don't have to run the 1080 at stock voltages mine is running at 1V +600 memory clock, cost me €1.12c per day if running at 1.6v but i am curious to know how much it costs me running at 1V.

The same here.

After i get the 1070 i have ordered in one month i will earn enough to replace my 2 x 1060s with 2 x 1070.

 

[hat]

Hooooooooold on.

I might buy TWO 1070s. They take one 8-pin power connector right? I got two of those, and two PCI-E x16 in my main rig! I can start off stronger than I expected. More debt but you gotta spend money to make money.

Yeap.

More debt but you gotta spend money to make money.

Took the chance.

This is the first and last time I will use any of "my" money on this, however. #1 priority here is making my money back. After that, I can use the earnings to beef up my second system for this while paying down other bills. If things stay like this, I can just imagine 4 cards earning north of $500/month...

I have invested 1800€ the rest of the hardware i will buy it with the money i earn.

after you see you make around 500$ per month you will want double it
