S9 with a psu for 500-600
Now it earns about 35 cents x 12= $4.20 a day
It burns 27 kwatts which at 10 cents is 2.70
so 4.20-2.70= 1.50 profit daily.
Do I think you should buy one. Not sure 🤔
can you handle the noise it makes?
can you handle the heat it makes?
is your power 10 cents a kwatt?
we could go in the wrong direction and you could crash that profit to zero or negative.

According to this article TMSC plans to throw in 100B to increase its chip-making capacity over the coming 3 years Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. plans to spend $100 billion over the next three years to expand its chip fabrication capacity, a staggering financial commitment to address booming demand for new technologies.
It also mentioned Intel $20 billion To build two new fabs in Arizona
Samsung $116 billion Over a decade to expand foundry business
I couldn't find out what a 100B means in terms of their current capacity, it could be a lot or nothing to really consider, this will indeed have a direct impact on mining equipment if Bitmain can buy more and probably cheaper chips - gear prices will drop in the near future when bitcoin price is ignored. What does everyone here think about this? Now I need to talk multiple coins. Not because I am pro other coins but because the money earned daily is big. eth hashrate is = to 5.1 million 3080 gpu chips. and before power spent it is about 51 million a day just for eth that comes to 18.4 billion a year. btc is 144 blocks a day and they are about 7 coins due to fees. that is about 1000 coins a day or 60,000,000 which comes to 22 billion a year. those two coins are about 40 billion a year. ltc and doge are more than 2 billion a year. did not do math. brings us over 42 billion in earnings. I am thinking the rest of the coins bring us over 50 billion a year. So my question is how long before it gets on line. Translate that. Do miners score for 10 months before the chips start coming? I think it could happen. i actually think that in the next 10 months Miners will do far better than they did for the last ten months. |

SO FROM MARCH 29 to April 8 our range has been 56k to 59k very sideways. '
Which is great for mining BTC.
We look to be dropping 2020 in 2 days which is very nice.
Then we drop the 20000-29999 in three days.
after that .
I guess may 1 date means 4 months of all time highs

you will NOT and never will need a 'covid passport' for going to a retail store pub or cafe
no one will be stupid to pay £120 to have a test just to be confirmed negative to be able to have a pint and then need to pay another £120 a few days later to reconfirm they are not infected to have another pint on another day
businesses would never demand such a stupid thing either
the covid passports are for those who want to fly to countries on aeroplanes(cylinder air prisons) but dont want to quarantine
by being vaccinated or having a test within 48 hours of the plane ride. allows passengers to not have to be put in quarantine on arrival
if only the conspiracy idiots would actually do two things. they could alleviate their own fears
1. realise they they as basement dwellers wont travel on a plane anyway. thus hve no need for a covid pass
2. realise the covid pass wont be used for grocery stores or pubs
Many anti vaxers fear this vaccine 💉 will hurt and kill you. But if I were a super villian looking to waste people I would not waste compliant people I would waste free thinkers. So if ⅔ of the world gets a vaccine and follows orders ⅓ resists. that is 2.7 billion smart guy free thinkers guys like the op an anti vaxer and a free thinker. So Jet Cash would be targeted with the next virus covid-22 or covid -23 it is already made 5 times as deadly as covid-19 And all the no mask no vaccine people will be at super high risk since they would be the natural targets. villains always target none compliant people. So frankly choice a is villians looking to whack free thinkers that resist b is villians looking to whack easy to control people that follow them c no villains honest science vax is lessor of two evils d no villains honest science vax is worst of two evils e no villains honest science math is about the same shot or no shot. I figure a to be more likely the b so pro shot I figure c to be more likely than d or e pro shot. the least likely is b the second least likely may or may not be d not sure what to think about e. so will I get a shot. If they tell me I can have an appointment I would take the phizer. |

religion
[ ri-lij-uhn ]
noun
1. a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

5. the practice of religious beliefs; ritual observance of faith.
6. something one believes in and follows devotedly; a point or matter of ethics or conscience: to make a religion of fighting prejudice. Note the definition in #6. If you believe in and follow devotedly, the point or matter of ethics or conscience which suggests that religion doesn't exist, you simply have a religion of non-religion. If you believe in and follow devotedly, the point or matter of ethics or conscience which suggests that atheism is not a religion, you simply have the religion of saying that atheism is not a religion. If you believe in and follow devotedly, the point or matter of ethics or conscience called atheism, you simply have a religion of atheism.  I am true to myself and know myself and I know That I am simply too stupid to pick anything to believe in. So I am an agnostic as I am simply truthful to my heart ❤️. |

Hi pip I'm running my miners on solar and batteries and I want to lower power draw as much as possible, I've remove two RAM sticks and only have one onboard, any other things I can replace to limit power draw?
Pc config
Dell optiplex 370 with core i5 CPU
1x 4g ram stick
Three 1660 Ti and one rx580
Sell the rx580 at a profit from what you paid for it. It will save power and instantly put cash in your hands. Use that cash to pay the power bill on the gear. Hoping you had the rx 580 for a while before it became expensive. Pay what power bill? I'm running on solar panels and batteries 24/7 sir, I'd rather swap the rx580 for gtx1660 super instead of selling because I've confirmed that gtx1660super runs so peacefully with lower power on my solar setup than rx580 So if the panels are paid off and the batteries are paid off. Selling the rx580 will buy the next round of batteries. Thus it will pay your future power bill. I am involved in an on grid 115k watt 1.55 acre stoup. It was paid off and we simply ran out of space to do more panels. You simply do not need that rx 580 sell it for as much as you can right now. You will get top dollar for it. And you can buy coin with the money or buy batteries . batteries are not over price cards are. the rx 580 sucks and getting top dollar for it is important. So sell it and come back here let us now you sold it and what you got. They we will help you spend it. on coins = meh maybe good on a 1660 super or ti = meh maybe good. hold as cash = in your case maybe good since you will need batteries. spend it on batteries = what I said in the first place. well kind of. I did not know if you were on grid or all battery. Batteries suck they die one run five years or less depends on what you buy. So if gpu price is up and it is buying batteries could be the best move. your panels should be good a long time your charger should be good your invert should be good. first thing to go will be the batteries and your free power will not be free. |

So having been out of the loop for a few weeks, I'm trying to catch up on topics here. There seems to be an increase in the # of threads such that there's a lot of content to sift through to find the topics I'm trying to read up about. Originally my plan was to start mining in earnest this summer, hoping that the madness surrounding gear and shortages may have settled down somewhat. That may not be realistic. However, the plans to mine ETH, as I understand them, are not going to be worth pursuing, with the 1559 thing and the proof of stake thing. Is this a fair summary?
With these things happening, what are you guys who are mining ETH going to shift to? I'm seeing a lot of different information and speculation, along with some cautions of "don't start mining now". My interest in this has always been for mining for the long haul - through the ups and downs, etc. So if a guy was able to cobble together a few rigs over the next few months, what would a nice long term play look like?
Should other coins be something I focus on learning about? And I think I understand that coin choice could impact whether I buy NVidia cards or AMD cards, is this accurate?
Do you think that NiceHash will still be a solid, simple solution - and that they will simply sell hashing power on other coins instead of ETH?
Curious to know what you all think. I expect to have investment capital available to me in early June. Again, it may be a fantasy, but I'm prepared, if I can swing it, to add 300 amps to my shop to drive a significant amount of gear, even if it takes a year or two to acquire it all.
"That may not be realistic. However, the plans to mine ETH, as I understand them, are not going to be worth pursuing, with the 1559 thing and the proof of stake thing. Is this a fair summary? " Not a fair summary. Eth has had a history of delaying moves. So if they do it in July on time it would be less likely than if it gets delayed. Second issue is lets say they do it in July our current Eth price is say 2000 and rewards if mined on viabtc are +80% so it is as if we get 3600 per coin. 1.8 x 2000 = 3600 So lets say we drop to +5% 1.05 x 2000 = 2100 terrible right? Yes but maybe coin goes from 2000 to 4000 due to the way cheaper fees. Which means 1.05 x 4000 = 4200 a coin So on the good end: the July deadline for 1559 could be delayed or the enactment of 1559 could skyrocket prices of coins to 4000. on the bad end: the July deadline is met on time for 1559 and once met prices stay at 2000 or once met prices drop down from 2000 to 1500 or less I know your set up and the rig you purchased made money for you it is really close to roi. In your spot enter the shuffle day after day and hope for a cheap card. Buying over price cards on ebay = big risk. No one knew this shortage would last like it did. But if you play the waiting game with the current gear you have you will turn a profit. If coins take off you keep making more with the small rig and wait for a cheap card. Even though I have tons more gear than you do and I have 3x the power I am using. I will not overpay for gear. I do the shuffle and hope for good prices. Or I do nothing. I am 64 and plan to mine for 6 years tops. If it take me 3 or 4 of those 6 years to max the power from 133kwatts to 400kwatts. I can live with it. |

Hi experts, I have bought an S17 Pro which starts very normal but keeps being very loud and stays like this. Nothing happens in the Miner Stats screen and the Kernel Log is too short.

To be honest it was my stupidity, the cable to the boards were loose  Now everything works well.  Topic can be closed Good news I gave you a merit because you did a good follow up. Keep posting and you will leave the newbie ranks and become a jr member |

Hi experts, I have bought an S17 Pro which starts very normal but keeps being very loud and stays like this. Nothing happens in the Miner Stats screen and the Kernel Log is too short.

As it seems the difficulty lags behind the price increase or drop.
Could you please tell me what is the main reason for this phenomenon?
Phill gave an excellent explanation of what is happening right now, but the long-term causes are plenty, the most important and most ignored fact is that price drop does not lead to negative mining returns. People have this narrative that all miners are mining at close to break-even which isn't the case, when price drops, all miners earn less, but the majority don't go into a loss zone right away, and of course, miners would settle for less profit. Those who go into the negative territory will stop mining but their gears won't disappear, they will change hands and that's all about it, this is one of the reasons why the difficulty chart isn't moving in a vertical line and it does pause, correct and continue up. One would say, but will some gears die and thus won't be reallocated, while that's true, many gears don't die for good and they are fixed, so just like the above, they disappear for a while and come back online in a different shape or/and a different location, also since most gears that die for good are usually pretty old, and thus their hashrate is low which makes their disappearance hard to notice if 10,000 *S7s die today, who cares? The second factor would be the efficiency improvement, if the technology reached its peak and nobody can make more efficient / cheaper gears than what we have now, eventually we will get to the point where price drop will really affect difficulty, but until then - it's not going to happen. What people should understand is that many, many people have free or super cheap aka almost power (my self included), I will never ever turn off a mining gear because it isn't profitable, why? because it can not be "NOT" profitable, it either dies on me or I would sell it, the latter, of course, will fall under the reallocation group which only affects the difficulty for a few days or weeks.And then you have those people who mine for a loss, yes there are a bunch of people who mine for a loss, some do it thinking price will go up in the future ( you can argue that they should directly buy bitcoin rather than doing that but they have all different reasons not to agree to that logic), there are also people who mine to launder their money or to own bitcoin without having to use their credit card because it's illegal/expensive, and of course, some people want "fresh" bitcoins. I can write another hundred lines of reasons why difficulty goes up while the price goes down, but I think I have mentioned the ones I think are most important. Now that is the reason why the price goes down while difficulty does not, the other scenario of why the price goes up and difficulty doesn't keep up, it's simply because money moves faster than mining gears by a few orders of magnitude, a rich guy like Elon can tweet something positive about bitcoin or drops a couple of billions into bitcoin and price goes up 10% in a day, 10% of the total hashrate right now is 16EH, that's the equivalent of 145,454 S19 pros, that number of gears is impossible to manufacture in a day, even a week or perhaps a month, even if Bitmain had an unlimited supply of money they will be bottle-necked by something else. Yeah people think bitcoin uses a lot of the worlds power. Last i checked Niagara Falls USA & Canadian power plants combined woukd have enough power for the entire Crytpocoin networks all the coins mined. So while that is a lot of power it is under 1% of the worlds power. Major developed countries have pockets of really cheap power. I live in New Jersey power is not cheap. But buysolar and myself developed two farms using solar arrays about 1.5 acres of panels. They are paid off since the 2017 run. So they are 45kwatts 24/7/365 free with about 19 years leftmon the warranty’s. we found some warehouse complexes that had many freezers. The owner got a really good commerical deal for a five year power contract and prepaid all power until dec 2023. He then lost forty percent of his freezer renters. Freeing up tons of the prepaid power. So coins could drop to 10k and we still profit. Just less. Now I could expand as we now have more space and power. We can not get gear at good prices so we have idle power and space. I am not a big miner. But I know a lot of people like me. 2ph btc gear 10gh ltc gear 3gh eth gear. all paid for. we could 3x it. and when shit crashes we will expand. filling out the power and space. say 130kwatt becomes 400kwatt. We buy when coin prices drop because we have outstanding power setup. And essentially next to zero labor cost. ie driving to the warehouse and spending time each month. |

it is a fan issue you should show 2 fans not one.
now the controller could be bad and no0t able to read a running fan.
this is easy to test carefully detach 1 fan see if the remaining fan is moving and of course check the logs.
if the fan moves and the logs say fan 5 is 5200 speed.
shut off.
detach that fan
reattach the other fan to where it was.
if the fan moves and you get no readings the controller can not read the fan. could be the fan has a bad rpm wire or the controller has a bad sensor

power color cards two rmas out of 30cards since 2012 . both were slow rmas
for the most part I like power color cards but I was not surprised they were slow to send me mine.
my card was fully dead no fans spun no detection nothing.
That's the same symptoms as mine. No fans or video in the 3 systems I tried it on before starting the RMA process. On another note. I'm trying to reuse my Bitmain PSU for video cards. I see a bunch of 6 pin to 6+2pin adapters but there are also 6 pin to dual 6+2 adapters. Does anybody know if it's safe to use the dual 6+2 pin adapters on the bitmain PSUs? Good luck to all entering the shuffle! A bitmain cable from the apw3 can do 140-160 watts safely after that no good. so if you run a 3070 clocked to 120 watts it should work. same as a 3060ti clocked to 120 watts |

I never bought any powercolor card, there's no warranty here in my country, it's a shame, because Powercolor have great cards, simple and cheap, but without warranty At least you guys have some warranty. How many years? 1 or 2? Here we prefer Galax, Gigabyte and Asus, all 3 years warranty. Don't know if you guys already see this: https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/geforce-gtx-1080-ti-resurrected-from-the-dead.htmlNvidia probably making a new batch of 1080tis The king is back  powercolor has 2 years in usa. most cards in usa amd or nvidia are 3 some are 2 aorus has 4 evga lets you upgrade on any 3 year warranty to 5 years. for series 3000 I have 2x 3090's I paid $30 and $30 they now have 5 year warranty which is a good deal for a 1800 usd item. they are the only 2 I extended. I figure for 60 bucks they are good for the next 5 years. |

Thanks for your quick reply!
As it seems the difficulty lags behind the price increase or drop.
Could you please tell me what is the main reason for this phenomenon?
Well chip availability. And most new asic gear is sold preorder this is an edge for the builder of the gear. He passes risk onto the buy of the gear. Getting new gear in under a week from the original builder of the gear is not the norm. So if you want gear now and new you over pay to a reseller. Most of the time that is a bad move. So most buyers of gear. do the preorders and wait for the gear. |
