I could get some s9j for 350+ shipping but I suspect they are false s9's.

Now I am in usa shipping  is a killer and with trump tax I can only buy 2 units at a time.

Newbies are fine but they are known to scam a lot.
So they are profiled a lot.The link I put is the official link website. No one has shown a different website that is "good"




 you give Linzhi.cn.com
 as the website
and the official website  is linzhi.io




General sales have not started yet. Only a few units have been shipped to evaluation customers.
Don't send scammers your coins! The official site is linzhi.io
The best for information is to follow their telegram - https://t.me/LinzhiCorp

Update January 31, 2021: General sales of the Linzhi Phoenix Ethash miner have not started and will not start for several weeks at least. All sites and groups claiming to sell or accept preorders for upcoming retail units are fraudulent.




Today I received a late, but very nice xmas surprise from linzhi for testing purpose.


Will update here after I have done some testing, waiting for DAG generation at the the moment.
Let me know your questions in the meantime...







EDIT1:
looks very good so far

I found a new thread in group buys

it may be a scam thread see link



below https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5322858.msg56530831#msg56530831

they refer to linzhi.cn

and first post here refers to linzhi.io as the good website

So I am guessing that the other thread has a bad link.

This section is not for Eth mining. It is for BTC only I asked mods to move this thread.

As an aside this thread could be a scam thread as I do not believe this gear is being sold to the public.

Notice each and every poster is a newbie.

Looking really good.

Would you believe some idiots misguided fools were actually talking about a bear market?  Grin

I don’t believe in censorship but I so wanted to lock the bears up and simply not let them post bear threads.

I know bear can happen but a two, three, four ,year bull run is so much more desirable why talk bear?

We are 71 days into 2021 and every day of this year is better than any day from any other year.

The only year this has ever happened is 2009 since 2008 price was 0.

Talking bear 🐻 is off the track that is unfolding for BTC in 2021.  Every day I simply hope for sides ways with a slight up swing  price move.
10727  Other / Off-topic / Re: Can a lesbian fall inlove with a guy? on: March 10, 2021, 01:51:06 AM
You see, I have a crush she is pretty and she talks like an angel. I did my best to improve myself so that I can approach her without any regrets. Then someone told me that she is a lesbian. At first I didn't believe it but as tha days passed I sadly confirmed that he is right. So my question is, by any chance can a lesbian fall in love with a guy? Thank you.

By definition no lesbian can fall in love with a man and enjoy it as a sexual relationship.

She would have to be a bisexual or polysexual in order to fall in love with a man in a sexual way.

Homosexual males by definition can only fall in love with men in a sexual way.

simple definition.

eth is back over $1811 and paying  9.78 cents an mh

if it can stay at 9.78 cents an mh

buying slightly over priced cards is fine.

Define slightly over priced.  10%, 20% over MSRP or 2x over MSRP?  Because unless you have some connections or willing to spend a lot of time hunting them down on websites/boards most usable gpu's are running crazy 2x or higher msrp.



I would pay 1165 for 3080 and take may delivery
I would pay   920 for 3070 and take may delivery

I can get both deals above.

I can also do Newegg Shuffle which sometimes hits.


I would not pay 2000 for a 3080 and instant ship
I would not pay 1300 for a 3070 and instant ship

I have roughly 50 pcs of RTX 3060 (assorted brands) available. If you want to take the whole lot I am looking at $750 / per pc. $800-$850 per pc if you want to pick and choose, message me or post your interest and I can list out stock by brand.

Open to escrow.

That price is not going to work for miners.  They are not as valuable to us. They are worth a small markup over msrp.

You may have Better luck on reddit  or on ebay gamers will pay for them.

lots are lower cost on ebay you need to beat ebay prices or they simply won't sell here.

for me, it is simple - I know they are going for over 2k on eBay and other market places, but that is simply because people scooped them all up simply to mine a few weeks while doubling/tripling the price and reselling them.

End of the day it is a 700-1000 card (depending on version) and not really worth the aftermarket price being assigned to them.

Hell, I stood in line the day they were released only to get in the store to see that the store employees had bought the entire inventory so the store was out of stock immediately upon release date. One employee even followed me out to the parking lot and tried to sell me one for double the price.

It does not help that manufacturers always shorth the supply. But it really wouldn't matter, no matter how many they produce someone will always try to scoop all them up and resell them.

There are people with hundreds of these cards for sale.

glws.

No worries They pull in 9 bucks a day. for me its a game. to see if they should or should one be pruchased at these prices.

Eth back on the rise

it was >>>> 2041 on feb 19
it dropped to 1292 on feb. 28
it is up to > 1746 on mar 8th

ultimately my choice to offer these 2 at 2100 vs 2900 and still not sell either shows me the buyers here will be smart or stupid.

For that matter if the buyers buy them I will still track to see if they were smart or stupid.

It also shows lack of fomo on Bitcointalk  as this is the second card deal I offered with out takers. 

the other was an xfx 5700 xt for 600 iirc

Back in January while I did not track earnings on it.  I have mined it for 56 days since no-one had interest of that card at a 200 dollar discount on ebay prices.

In the case of all these cards.  I can just mine them and make money while I get to test the forums fomo.

10736  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: Feeler bids or offers for evga 3080 & msi/corsair 1080ti seahawk on: March 08, 2021, 03:51:36 PM

A 1080ti  = 42-45mh
a 3080.   = 92-95mh  if you hit a fan at this it can do 97




so 134mh and about 500 watts at the wall at worst



say 6 or 7 kwatts a day at 20 cents. = $1.40



Feb 27  12.44  based on $ 0.1033 an mh
Feb 28  10.76  based on $ 0.0908 an mh
March 1 10.39 based on $ 0.0880 an mh
March 2 10.94 based on $ 0.0921 an mh
total.     44.53 4 days at 20 cent power.  I will keep a running total should be fun to see if buyers are stupid or smart to buy it or not buy it. Far too early to tell.


So four days since offer to bid is place here prices still sky high on ebay
And a 20 cent miner would be 44.53 in their pocket.


So is not buying this smart or dumb?

We will know sooner or later.

Feb 27  12.44  based on $ 0.1033 an mh
Feb 28  10.76  based on $ 0.0908 an mh
March 1 10.39 based on $ 0.0880 an mh
March 2 10.94 based on $ 0.0921 an mh
we did about 10 a day on the days below after taking out 20 cent power cost.
March 3 10
March 4 10
March 5 10
March 6 10
March 7 10

total of 94.53 in your pocket.  the 3080 is still about 2100 on ebay and 1080tis are about 600-800 so this is about 2900 on ebay with tax.  no one has an interest at 2100 to start.

9 days of mining lost to cowardly bidders so far. (just kidding) Honestly I have no idea if it is smart to have purchased them at 2100 to 2500 cost.

most s9  were good a few bad batches say 4-9 had issues.

BTW Phil I remember you posted links to sound proofing blankets somewhere but I have searched and searched trying to find them.  Can you share a link.

Thinking I am going to have to do something about the rigs in the bedrooms.  I have them near windows, with window fan set to exhaust all their hot air out.  Temps have been fine but its the noise.  Thinking about getting one of those grow tents and throwing a sound proofing blanket over it.

Yeah do these two

this is fire proof 78 by 78

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N1F737R/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

these muffle sound

https://www.amazon.com/Sure-Max-Moving-Packing-Blankets-Furniture/dp/B073V5CRQ7/ref=sxin_9?

put the fire proof near the gear then the moving blanket

here is 1 more item

https://www.homedepot.com/p/UltraTouch-48-in-x-24-ft-Radiant-Barrier-with-Recycled-Cotton-30000-11424/100661257


setup would be

[gear] [fire blanket ][radiant barrier][moving blanket] is best
[gear] [fire blanket][moving blanket] is second best
{Gear}{radiant barrier}{moving blanket}  is third best


if you skip fireblanket make sure to point the silver part of the radiant barrier at the gear. as it is heat resistant.



the only bad setup is moving blanket alone as they may not be fire resistant.

Thanks Phil.  I actually have those blankets from my recent move.  I have one rig in an empty bedroom but it has Vega's in it which are really loud.  I have another rig and some of sidehack's  r606 in the garage that I am going to need to move as its starting to get too warm in there for them.  Going to try and devise something to quiet both of the mining rigs.

Okay then get a few fire blankets

do rigs >> fire blankets >> moving blanket

a tent or a curtain setup will help

Fireblankets arriving tueesday.  I'll post pics on the experiment.

I have done lots of rigs in the garage and got decent results for under 100 bucks worth of Fire + Moving blankets.

Just wondering is it still worth investing 10k$ in graphics cards and mine on the long run or is mining dead with ETH new announcement ...

Thanks,

Well first off take evga cards.  I mention them because they are Warranty transferable.

If I were to offer you  used but under full warranty  2x 3090 and 4x 3080 evga cards along with 2 mobos and psus for 10k  it would be considered a cheap price.

What does that gear do in hashrate?

about 103+103+91+91+91 = 480 mh

what does 480mh earn it earns 9.02 cents an mh or $43 a day excluding power cost what do they cost to run about 37 kwatts a day at 10 cents  3.70 at 20 cents 7.40

so 35-39 a day for gently used gear with long warranties

35 x 300 = 10500 so a possible break even for 10 months.

The problem is you won't find anyone to sell you  2x 3090 and 4 x 3080 with mobos and psu's for 10k
https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-GeForce-RTX-3090-FTW3-ULTRA-GAMING-24G-P5-3987-KR-24GB-GDDR6X-iCX3/303910074976?

the cheapest evga 3090 on ebay is $2749

so 2 of them = 5498 + tax and the warranty may not transfer

https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-GeForce-RTX-3080-XC3-ULTRA-10GB-GDDR6X-Graphics-Card-Ships-Same-Next-Day/143970690287?

the cheapest 3080 is 2100 so 4 of them are 8400 + tax

so you go to 13898 + tax with suspect warranty add 502 for mobos you are at 14400 and tax of 1100 you go to 15500

which is a lot more than 10k

So to me buying at 10k if I were to offer the deal (I am not doing that) would be maybe okay

Reality is on ebay that deal is going for 15500 not 10k

So yeah see if you can get 4x of these cards
https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=10G-P5-3885-KR

and 2 x of these cards

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=24G-P5-3987-KR

for 9400 or 9500 if you do buy them.

I will sell you 2 mobos with psu's  to run them 3 cards per mobo

and I would tell you even if you do it is kind of iffy.
