Bump.

An answer would be nice, I've already lost a month of mining on the R-rig..

Vega Frontier and RX Vega 64 is not the same card.

Seems like they will be sold at double the cost of the RX 580's tho, so power consumption better be lower!

Nice work, I like your channel!

Are you guys still buying GPU rigs, or what is your strategy going forward?

Because I think BTC core is toxic as fuck, and I'd rather support anyone else tbh.

Regarding diff retarget: https://medium.com/@jimmysong/bitcoin-cash-difficulty-adjustments-2ec589099a8e

"Bitcoin Cash has a very particular rule about when difficulty can adjust downward. Rules for this are as follows:

• Median Time Past of the current block and the Median Time Past of 6 blocks before has to be greater than 12 hours.
  
• If so, it gets 20% easier to create proof of work. In other words, miners can find blocks 20% easier."

I'm mining BCH, its not all about profit!

Anything that mines the SHA256 algorithm can mine any SHA256 coin, like Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash.

I'm having issues with the R-version of the OS.

It boots straight into the desktop (I can see the desktop), and never starts the miner-program.
Anyway I can manually start the miner?

It's been like this for weeks now, and I just tried with the newest version from your page, same result.

It was working fine until July!

Anyone else had this problem?

The increase in diff is mainly because of the ice age, not increased hashrate!

If Bitmain already got the D3s, its kinda weird that they havent gotten their DASH pool up and running yet! Seems like they are still testing at antpool!

I see there is a new field called "Group", is this functional yet? If so, how to add rig to a group?

3m diff is a conservative guess IMO, I think it will be higher than this, sooner than you think

Your GPU has only 2GB of memory, that wont work with ETH mining anymore because of the size of the DAG file.

Well, must isnt exactly correct, but its recommended.
Some GPUs wont start without both connectors attached tho.

It depends on how much power your card will draw from the PSU. Its obviously safer to balance power draw on 2 connectors instead of 1. But if you underclock and mine something that isnt GPU core intensive (like ethereum) you could probably get away with only one 8x pin connector.

Dont do this if you dont know what you are doing tho, nobody likes a closed casket funeral

You bought a GPU rig to mine Litecoin? God damn everybody and their mother wants to be a miner, but have ZERO clue what they are doing, kinda frustrating!

Let me break it down for you:
There are many different coins and crypto algorithms. Some of the algos are ASIC resistant.

What is an ASIC? ASIC stands for Application Specific Integrated Circuit. It basically means that its a microprocessor that is application specific, all integrated on a chip. Application specific means it can only do one thing, or calculate one algorithm.

CPU and GPU´s are also Integrated Circuits, but can do MANY different operations. Because of this they need registers, cache/memory ALU++ to be able to do these operations, and to be fitted on the same chip. This leaves less room for the "calculating" part on the chip. (I´m sorry this is a little thin, I don´t know the word for it )

So to recap:
ASIC = Really fast at one operation
CPU = Can do a lot of different operations, but much slower than an ASIC on that specific operation.
GPU = Can do a lot of different operations, but much slower than an ASIC on that specific operation.

Obviously a CPU is much slower than a GPU when mining Ethereum for example. This is because of the type of algorithm used, it uses a lot of memory.
Ethereum is a good example of an ASIC resistant coin. The operations in the DaggerHashimoto algorithm is complex and requires a lot of memory.
This makes it hard and expensive to create an ASIC for it, and this combined with the difficulty bomb/ice age that is programmed into the ethereum code discourages manufacturers to even try to create an ASIC for it.

I used to mine litecoin with GPUs back in 2013, before the ASICs came a long. If I remember correctly I was getting around 3600 kH/s on a rig.
Thats roughly 600 kh/s per graphic card, and a graphic card contains 1 GPU chip.
The Antminer L3+ is a machine that contains 288 ASIC chips, with a speed of 504 MH/s

For perspective:
1 kH/s = 1000 h/s (hashes per second)
1 MH/s = 1000.000 h/s

So a GPU mining LTC will calculate around 600.000 h/s
And the L3+ will calculate around 504.000.000 h/s
Its obvious that when an ASIC hits the market for an algorithm, GPU mining will become obsolete.
So no, you can´t mine LTC with GPUs anymore

Before you go jumping of a bridge you should try mining ethereum, ethereum classic or ZEC. There are no ASICs for these coins (and many others).
Your GPUs could also be usable in the future in projects like golem or iExec RLC.

Welcome to the crypto game, lol xD

Im sorry if this post is hard to read, got zero structure, its my fragmented thoughts basically

When you order doesnt really matter, its all about when your payment get confirmed.
Let me guess, you paid with bank wire?

False, batch 1 starts shipping 15th.
So basically batch 1 will start to be shipped on a friday, and batch 2 will start shipping the following monday.
I'm guessing they won't be able to ship the whole batch on the 15th, so there is very little difference between Batch 1 and 2.

I'm really interested in this project, but:

Can I send you my personal miners to host at your facility?
Or do I need to buy the ones you are reselling (with a premium)?

Sure the power is cheaper, but if the miners costs 600$ more for each machine, it suddenly doesnt look so good anymore.

Cheers,
Tore

Aint got nothing on Norways 25%

Its really hard, but would love it if someone tried!

I'm calculation with 10M diff, and 9 months ROI time for the D3's.
I lower my expectations, I'd rather be pleasantly surprised with lower diff, than crushed by getting my hopes up!
