Title: ETH: Mining speed go down in last two month ... why?
Post by: winiu on August 03, 2017, 09:15:51 AM
Hi,
i have small rig with 6 Aus Strix RX470 with moded bios.
In last time i saw that speed is lower, i check some logs and:

01.06.2017: 164MH/s
10.06.2017: 164MH/s
20.06.2017: 162MH/s
01.07.2017: 162MH/s
09.07.2017: 160MH/s
16.07.2017: 159MH/s
25.07.2017: 158MH/s
30.07.2017: 156MH/s
03.08.2017: 153MH/s

and rig is working all the time without any other problems. I use Claymore 9.1
but i try also older and newest version. For now i use Clay 9.8 and speed is 153MH/s (~25.6 per GPU but 2 month ago was ~27.3).

I was on hollidays ... so What i missed ?
Thats normal ?

It only happens with Eth and other coins using the same algo, Dagger-Hashimoto.

The DAG file that's required to hash keeps increasing over time which makes it slower and slower.

Not sure if it's a good read but first google result explaining the situation: https://steemit.com/ethereum/@thexmikkel/ethereum-mining-dag-file-grows-rx-series-hashrate-decreasing

That is becasue of the DAG size increase. It will reduce further.

AMD is preparing new drivers to fix this issue and should be available in a few weeks if not sooner.

ohhhhh,nooooooo, i guess many people like who started this thread share similar thoughts, they still think each card is giving  the profit they first saw, in this case 1st of june was probably giving $5 per card, so I guess they think will be $5 per card for life hehe

Yes, they don't see that its actually $30 per card, they just have to hold ETH and wait it hit $3000 like BTC

If ETH hits $3000, it's because the USD has become the equivelant of the Mexican Peso. ETH has close to 100 billion tokens in circulation compared to a max of 21 million for BTC.

Pretty sure ETH will hit $3000, but it will take like 7-12 years :D

Its not going to take that long, the way things are going, bitcoin and alt coins increase 10x every 2 years. So in 2019 you will need $30.000 to buy 1 bitcoin and $3000 for 1 eth.
