Title: status of the old Gaw/fury miners Post by: zul32 on January 08, 2018, 03:47:02 PM Hi all, yes I'm an amateur miner. a while ago I purchased 3 Gaw fury miners and thought it would be fun to mine the Dogecoins. Well, after reading the reddit forum, they're basically dead. So, Litecoin is still alive, ok I switched to that but then after reading the cost effectiveness in the whattomine website, I'm losing almost a dollar a day trying to crunch those blocks (I belong to a pool).
So, two questions here - if these machines are so worthless then how come people are listing these on eBay and they're still going for upwards of around $50 a piece? Second question - Can these machines ONLY mine just scrypt, or can they mine something else? If so, then what? Sorry, no I don't have a big budget to go out and by a six-pack of 480 cards. That's just not going to happen so please don't recommend that I save up 3-5k for this. I'm only dabbling in it, but still want to turn a small profit. Oh, and recently for Christmas - I also purchased a used AMD Radeon HD 7850 FX-785A-ZNL4 1GB. So, if I can use that as well to do some crunching that would be great. Thanks for any advice you can help me with! ;D |
