Title: Here is why gpu mining is not dead and after ETH a coin will come to replace it. Post by: philipma1957 on April 26, 2016, 12:45:26 PM my order from amazon got a little lost

That is correct a free card https://i.imgur.com/rTfVOC3.png Title: Re: Here is why gpu mining is not dead and after ETH a coin will come to replace it. Post by: TheYankeesWin! on April 26, 2016, 12:53:20 PM So your point is Eth mining gear i.e. GPU/PC gets built and sold by real sellers.

Post by: philipma1957 on April 26, 2016, 12:58:36 PM So your point is Eth mining gear i.e. GPU/PC gets built and sold by real sellers. Yes that is my point. My PC has two powercolor cards. R9 390 Cost would have been 628 but due to Amazon's error cost was 314. They will have a 3 year warranty. I grabbed a windows 7 osx for 40 bucks. I grabbed a new mobo for 80 bucks I had all other parts. SSD CPU cooler Case. CPU. So I now have a intel 3500k cpu 2 power color cards a 500 gb ssd in a case with this fan for intake and exhaust http://www.amazon.com/Silverstone-Cooler-Computer-Cooling-FHP-141/dp/B00A460TK6? on high setting I can run the 2 cards over clocked and the case stays cool.

Post by: Amph on April 26, 2016, 05:22:40 PM i'm not worried at all ethereum is just one of the many coin that will be and that were profitable, many other will come
it's not like ethereum was the first proftiable coin(not even the best one actually) and it will not be the last one either....

Post by: philipma1957 on April 26, 2016, 07:31:26 PM i'm not worried at all ethereum is just one of the many coin that will be and tthat were profitable, many other will come it's not like ethereum was the first proftiable coin(not even the best one actually) and it will not be the last one either.... the reason is pretty simple if you do smart builds you still have a pc. long warranty on the gear. you can turn it off if eth coin is bad and look for a new coin. When I started back up I had 1 hd7970 and i mined at 0 start up cost. If all gpu coins stop working I will set down the pc's until a new one comes along. Meanwhile I now have 3 rigs using 4 r9 390's 1 r9 380 and that hd7970. my cost was. 800 + 190 + 80 + 40 = 1110 I can do 160 mh granted I got a card for free due to amazon screwing up the delivery. So my cost would be 1420 . I had a lot of parts on hand. but I now have 3 high quality pc's. I have earned back quite a bit of the outlay. So no complaints.

Besides Bitcoin itself, ETH was the 2nd most profitable. Third was LTC. I think it will be a while before another new coin reaches the Billion dollar market cap. Its usually best to sell the GPUs, buy some ASICS, and buy back the GPUS like in a year or two when sometimes pops up.

Post by: umop-apisdn on April 26, 2016, 09:49:21 PM It's always interesting to hear what people plan to mine after ethereum. It seems like lots of neat coins to mine. Decred, expanse, spread...
Title: Re: Here is why gpu mining is not dead and after ETH a coin will come to replace it. Post by: WarrEagle on April 26, 2016, 11:30:15 PM I love Amazon, I built 6 rigs last month. all are 6 GPU's each, running R9 380's that cost me just under $200 a card. Like the OP said something else will come along in time. ETH is still profitable, I have 800+ MH/s and can SSH in and change the miner easily enough. Dual mining is catching on too. You can mine Decred and ETH concurrently. Question is should I build out the other 5 rigs I have custom frames for?

Only way you will make money is if ETH increases in value, but in this scenario you might as well buy the coin instead.

I am referring to long term (3+ months). Between LTC and ETH, what other coin was profitable long term? None.

None. all altcoin are pump and dump scam, eth was dumped by vitalik, i would not call any of them long term besides this i see all the alt as one big alt that is give you a long term profit, does not matter if it is instamined, early mined or whatever, only the profit matter in the end Title: Re: Here is why gpu mining is not dead and after ETH a coin will come to replace it. Post by: adaseb on April 27, 2016, 09:46:00 AM I don't think it was dumped. He just wanted to take some profit.

I just got something Via USPS today from Amazon. Shipped on 19th, Picked up by USPS on 19th. Sat in USPS Warehouse in IL for 7 days before it was shipped to me, then took another 3 days. All for 2 items the size of 2 USB Flash drives... Mega Fail in my book. Title: Re: Here is why gpu mining is not dead and after ETH a coin will come to replace it.

I sold a few thousand items on ebay this site and some Mac mini sites. Post office was my goto shipper. Not anymore. Prices went up service went down. I used to be able to ship an Intel CPU in a small flat rate box with tracking to more then 200 countries for 12.95. Now it is 24.95 ships slower and both tracking and insurance are more $$. |
