The low half of the top  of  💯 has quite the range.  If we drop to the 90 spot it would suck.

well the rate that matters is the pool not phoenix or smos.

Ie my 3 card 3080 at viabtc rates at

280.73 mh on smos as phoenix states 6841 shares 4 bad

on viabtc I rate 278.22m last day. this is what the real number is or what they pay on. 278.22 x  4.8 cents = 13.35 a day

if I crank up my ram I will do 5% bad shares

and earn very close to the same each day. maybe $14 a day.  use more power and stress the ram more.

to me <1% share errors is good.

5%> share errors is bad.

and pool number is the real payment number.


I would not run my 470 card with the high errors you mention


the low setting is most likely better for you.

maybe maybe not.  it is + 11.8% plus 79.5 blocks

a day ago + 12.3%. plus 62.86 blocks


At 29.5k price

an s9 set to 10th using 800 watts makes 2 bucks and uses .8 x 24 = about 20kwatts a day. In my garage with 13.5cent power in the winter I would get around 3 or 4 cents heat.

so my power from now to may1 is around 10 cents.  So I am breakeven running s-9's

An s-15 set to low is 900 watts and 18th or  3.60 power in my case of adjust 10 cent from now to may is 22 kwatts or 2.20

so 3.60-2.20 = 1.40 profit on a s15 set to low.

in my garage an s17pro set to low on vnish soft ware is about 40th and 1000 watts. or

8 usd - 2.40 = 5.60 usd a day from now till may

I won't go into gpus or l3+. but they are all good for me in my garage from now till may 1.

So my guess is lots of people turned on idle gear.

Also a farm that was on the edge but turning profit. May now have cranked gear up.

My s17pros  on stock firmware do
42th
5th
57th

If I was on the border at 52th or if it was a bit too hot at 52th.  it is now cold. so my gear gets set to 57th.

42 to 57 is a huge increase % wise  35%

51 to 57 is an increase of 11%

So I can see this jump doing over 10 % on Jan 9

Will it hold and do a second 10% next jump like Jan 22 only if bitmain sends out the Jan batches on time.

After these jumps we may slow.  But if we are under 205T on feb 1 I will be stunned.

I think we will be close to 212t on feb.

I also think this month could be a very rare Jan in that btc could move up over 10% in price.

does not matter.

Think of a six sided dice and you want to toss a  six.  Does it matter if you do it at any time of the day? No

Same is true with a miner looking to hit a solo block.

Your  mining unit does not care what time of day it is. Neither does the difficulty. Or this pool.

sure.  try settings.

low power + + + balance + + + factory + + +  performance

there are a lot of speed choices.

maybe 9 or 10

go to the setting and see what he has it on. say factory drop speed 1 spot boot and cross your fingers.

I have 59 minutes to go. Then it is 2021 so maybe we can go over 30k in 2020.

If not then 2021 as I am in a good spot to wait till next year.

yeah we used a large dog house.

but it was a fail too much morning dew the l3+  controller suffered and the psu jack to plug suffered.

we got clear water proof spray. and care fully sprayed the jacks and plugs once they were plugged in.

Our issue was the direct power inverters. that captures
the solar. it was defective and did not keep voltage stable.

The grid tied gear works better.

Here in New Jersey 2 hours to go to 2021.

I am grateful my wife has survived her covid 19 illness.

I am grateful that BTC is smoking hot.

I am hopeful that 2021 is far far better for us all.

Btc at 78k by Dec 2021

Happy new years to all!

fire blankets

Yeah. I did get around 5 psu's and 3 gpu's in the last 10 days of this year.

All at okay prices but tons of stuff is just sold out.

I grabbed

2 seasonic focus  850w ------------good price
1 seasonic focus 1000w -----------good price
1 corsair    rm850x black ---------- good price
1 Super Flower Leadex 1300 watt psu -- good price
1 amd 5700xt xfx -- meh tiny bit over paid
1 amd 5700xt powercolor -- meh tiny bit over paid
1 amd 5600 xt asus strix --- good price
2 sticks of 32gb ram -- meh tiny bit over paid
1 2tb m2 nvme. --- good price

these will all go as ending inventory so they will lower my  income.

I think I will place 1 more order today.

He is trying to use a teaspoon to mine in stead of a shovel.

A heads up when you go to bigger rigs and need two psus be sure to know how to wire your rigs. Or you will short shit out.

there are some deals for 1200watt psus if you look carefully but you may find that they prefer to run six cards better than 7.

Nope the goal is to forget about page parity.

I believe post parity will happen far sooner than any expects it will.

Yeah they are scalping and I am not asking 329 or 400

I am saying 270-280. no one is selling at that price.

plus you see the settings 75 watts I don't over clock and beat the shit out of the gear.

As an aside
I have an offer pending on the 1080ti

this is close  

pm me

I am in USA, NJ maybe we can do a deal with a bit of talking.

I sold a 3 card rig with 2x 1660ti's and 1 x 1660


180 is about 90 too light maybe even 100 too light.

the lowest buy it now on eBay is 375 + 20 =395 he will take a best offer

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gigabyte-GeForce-GTX-1660-Ti-6G-Overclock-Edition/383880586150?


this auction is the first one to expire and is for 295+10.90+ tax so about 325 with 9 hours to go.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-GeForce-GTX-1660-Ti-XC/254820030604?hash=item3b5475188c%3Ag%3AGVsAAOSwjgtf6qQH&LH_Auction=1&LH_ItemCondition=3000

Yeah they could and if the boards I described exist they cut a deal with a farm. Send a few of their own workers to monitor the running of 10000 boards.

Farm gets a sell back of ram and cpu chips.

Or like I said they call it quality control lease the chips and the ram let the farm test them and then recycle the tested chips into our gpus.

Seems like it would be easy to do as no wear and tear on cards or fans.

When we get the quality tested chips we can't see them and as long as they were run on medium speed the don't die.

All my 1080ti's have run 3 straight years at 170 watts.  only issues are some fans break.

if design was like a waffle iron pulling chips in and out would be really fast.

radiator and fan would be in the lid

chips on the bottom

no they would not suffer from wear and tear. simply run them at low power.

remember all liquid cooled. so no overheating of any chip.

as for cost these would be in-house not for anyone but amd and nvidia.

If both ram chips and gpu chips simply lift out when you want to sell them.

the boards can sit idle for years at a time.

when card starting making more money this year I grabbed five boards that were stored for two years in a dry out door shed.  along with ram and psus. those boards all work with new cards.

So to do my idea is cheap for amd and nividia not costly.

and it means we are not seeing cards anytime soon.

unless eth crashes like mad.

think that a set of 3080 chips on a four chip board with 40 gb ram cooled by waterblocks

means 400 x 5 cents  20 dollars a day. with good cooling and a hunderd day delay.

it is 2000- 200 = 1800  for those four chips.

then pack the lightly used well cooled chips into new cards.

I dont see how they are not doing this to some degree.

even if to say it is quality control testing.

Your temps are okay.  If they go over 85-90 you can have issues

Nvidia has this:



I was thinking

If the gpu chip and gpu ram could be pull ing and out like ram  and  cpu's on a regular mobo

The companies could be mining  and simply pull the gpus chip and ram chips to put into a card.

Seems to me that   laptop mobos are kind of what I am saying

there is no need to solder in the gpu chip or the gpu ram if you built a variation of the mobo above.

drop a water cooled setup on to it and it would be quite a setup.
