Title: Re: Mining with Antminer s19 or graphic card?
Post by: philipma1957 on April 13, 2021, 11:49:57 PM
Hi,
I'm looking at graphic cards an mining rigs like Antminer s19 and cant understand the hash rate. How can a graphic card that are on MH/s compete with a rig that is on TH/s?

Thanks!  

Legit question. from a newbie.

a nvidia 3080 does 100 mhs mining ⛏ eth about 9 cents a mh so it earns between 9 and 10 usd worth of the coin eth. before power cost.


a bitmain s19pro does 110th mining ⛏ btc about 38 cents a th or 41-42 a day before power cost

technically gpu mining no longer mines btc directly.

but many use a gpu to mine an alt and then trade the alt to btc.


if you were looking at nicehash you may have seen the 3080 nvidia gpu was paying you 9 or 10 a day in btc.

they left out the inbetween which is it was mining eth that was converted to btc.

I mine

eth
ltc/doge
btc
bch

I tend to trade all the coins above into cash and btc.

most of my coin wealth is in btc.
