I'm thinking of selling my now 2 gen old GPUs.  I checked sold listing on eBay as of yesterday and averaged the selling prices for the last few days.


Here is the issue with eBay. A wise miner once said "The best time to sell mining equipment is usually when its the highest chance of getting screwed" it might of been phil if I recall correctly.

The reason why is because they usually side with the buyer and what happens is people buy ASICs or GPUs on eBay. Then shortly after the difficulty can go up or price can go down and it might not longer be profitable and they will just open up a Paypa dispute saying "GPUs are not as described" and you will have to accept the return and sometimes they bill you for the return shipping.

Best is to just sell it on FB marketplace or Craiglist and get cash instead. Hence no refunds possible.


better yet offer them here at bargain rates

a 1080ti for 300usd.

payable in btc. and  sold here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=75.0

is like selling  one for 380 on eBay as the fees hurt your sale price

I can help you with escrow. If you sell them here.

I think the 3080 at a cost of $699 doing between 80 to 115 mhs on eth is more attractive than the 3090 at a cost of $1,499 doing 115 to 150 mhs on eth.  

I personally don't see the 3090 doing 150 mhs and feel the roi is going to be significantly longer than the 3080's 10-12 months.  If the 3090 ends on the lower end of eth performance your looking at potentially 2 plus years before it's paid off.  For me I can't justify the difference in time to roi.
Well we are still guessing  a bit on prices and hash rates.
I put my name on this list for all models the 3070 the 3080,  3090.

If a 5700 xt does 50-52 mh at 125-130 at the wall
and the 3090 does 150 mh at. 230 at the wall

it simply does not have a huge edge.  also I don't think it will do 150  at 230 watts.

more like 130 at 230 watts.  but I  consider buying one as soon as possible just to benchmark on my threadripper.

My 5700 XT Gigabyte does 54Mhs exactly, consuming 135 from the wall

Of course there's room for improvement for 3090 and Nvidia another cards with miners and drivers, but I don't see a huge leap to kill older generations of cards, since polaris it's almost the same, a good gain on hashrate, more efficiency, but not overkill cards
People still use polaris cards to mine

In my country will be difficulty to buy any new generation of cards with a reasonably good price

even here in the usa  🇺🇸 the 3090 is  1500 in  NJ , USA  plus NJ tax of 7% so I would pay

1605 Usd.  I can get four rx 5700 xt for that with maybe 50 usd change. i.e.

200mh for 1605-50 = 1555

I can get six 5600 for 6 x 277= 1662 and get 60 in rebates or 1602 cost for 240mh

so 3090 maybe 150mh for 1605
5700 maybe 200mh for 1555
5600 maybe 240mh for 1602.

miner software optimization might get 3090 to 150mhs...hopefully  Grin

No, Eth is memory bound, 3080 and 3090 have the same memory type and speed so the minor difference we will see would be due to 320 vs 384bit bus width. And this isnt on-die HBM, dont expect 90+ on anything.


1080 is 35mhs
1080ti is 50mhs

that's 42.8% difference between 1080 and 1080ti, both gddr5x

Umm ... the 1080 was a GP 104 with 256bit bus width. The 1080ti was a GP102 with 352 bit bus width, thats where the hash increase is coming from. That, and better binned memory that can clock higher.

Quote

3080 is 100mhs (there is a post that says 115mhs at 300w) if you do the math of adding 42% of 3080 to 100mhs that's 142mhs.

now nvidia says 3090 as titan like(they phased out titan, this is the new titan), if 3080ti is not released yet, then 3090 is better than 3080ti

if 3090 is better than 3080ti, then 150mhs is not impossible.


I dont think you understand anything about hardware, hash-rate or how the two correlate. I recommend some more reading.

Even if the 3090 does 150mh it will need 220-230 watts to do it.
And it simply is not a lot better than amd 5700xt for eth mining.

If a 5700 xt does 50-52 mh at 125-130 at the wall
and the 3090 does 150 mh at. 230 at the wall

it simply does not have a huge edge.  also I don't think it will do 150  at 230 watts.

It feels like the calm before a storm, I think we’re going to get a Q4 bullish rally.
It's trying hard to cross $10,500. Good thing is that we are not going under $10k. Even if we go we are bouncing back almost immediately.

We are going to brush past  14000 in under a month.

This is my gpu daily earning rate. As long as it is over 40 it means btc is underpriced compared to eth.

Every time I post here for the next 30 days I will drag that info from my nicehash account to this thread.

As long as it is higher then 40 (more complex then that but good enough for now)  it means there is extra demand for BTC from nicehash mining.

Are you blind? You can see the credits in the image.

No that watermark is the only reason i even found the original link, but most people wouldnt notice it, especially when the image is so small on bitcointalk and the watermark is very light

yeah but to be fair the poster may have different settings on his monitor and the watermark could be clearly visible to him.

Now as a I don't know the guy and don't care one way or the other about him I can see the watermark on my screen.

PS I am colorblind and I have had double cataract surgery so if I can see it its clear enough. I see no issue with what he did.

1390 more  to set up


i'll get along with your analogy.

$ 1390 more..

for people who think 4 card is a hell lot more easier to manage than 12 card rig?

for people who are thinking of higher resell value?

for people who think they can have more coins to mine(nvidia has more options than amd)?

is 1390 more worth it?..

for me yes...I was able to travel the previous years while those rigs are mining hehe

one 4 card rig vs three 4 card rigs.  and I forgot to mention if you use simple mining it is 2 bucks a month for your rig and 6 for my 3 rigs

so that is 4 x 12 = 48 a year in savings.

Yeah a lot depends on how many rigs you want to do.

But 1390 price difference means it is not a killer of the 5700xt.

both cases you get 600mhs

one case is 1 four card rig at 1000-1100 watts at  cost of 6200-6300 usd
one case is 3 four card rigs at 500-550 watts each total of around 1650 watts. at a cost of 4800-4900 usd

If rig density is an issue you may want the 3090.

If cards keep turning a profit  the 3090 is pretty good.
If it all crashes you still have resale on the 3090

But my point is to argue that the 3090 crushes the 5700xt is simply not the case.

Like I said I may buy 2 of them for my thread rippers.
13108  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby! on: September 11, 2020, 11:03:59 AM
If it does 150 at 180 watts and only costs 1000 it is a good card. Really good.


But if it does 150 at 230 watts  and costs 1500 it is less good.


Here is usa price 1499
get notified for purchase of it.

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/30-series/rtx-3090/


Now a 5700 can be found for 350 it will do 52

so 3 will do 156 at 375watts at wall for 1050

and this may do 150 at 230 watts at wall for 1499

a 449usd in the hole for a little less hash.  Say hash is equal to the 3

then you are  saving 145 watts an hour or 3.5 k-watts a day

that is:

10.5 cents a day at 3 cent power or   4761 days
21.0 cents a day at 6 cent power or   2380 days
31.5 cents a day at  9 cent power or  1587 days
42.0 cents a day at 12 cent power or 1190 days
52.5 cents a day at 15 cent power or   952 days


now granted it may take 1  or 1.45 slot space. vs 3 slot space.  But with these boards below.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/biostar-TB250-BTC-D-Pro-Motherboard-Mining-w-CPU-RAM/124292825096?

running 4 of these 3090 vs   12 5700 xt.     same hash rate


   so 155 vs 465  add a decent cooler 175 vs 525 and 1 apw3+ vs 3 apw3+ is 30 vs 90

so 205 to setup 4x 3090
or 615 to setup 12 5700 xt

both do 600mh

the 3090 is   6000+205 = 6205. uses about 1000-1100 watts
the 5700xt is 4200+615 = 4815 uses about 1500-1600 watts

so maybe you save 12 kwatts a day

3 cent power =  36 cents.  daily.  3861 days
6 cent  power =  72 cents. daily.  1930 days
9 cent power = 1.08 usd.   daily.  1287 days
12 cent power = 1.44 usd  daily.    965 days
15 cent power = 1.80  usd daily.   772 days

1390 more  to set up

So you can see it is not a big deal if it does 150 at 230 watts

Heck to be a big deal at 1400 price it needs to do 150 at less then 150 watts

cause you would then save 20 kwatts a day  if it did 150 watts a card vs 230

or

3 cent = 60 cents. or 2316 days
6 cent = 1.20.      or 1158
9 cent = 1.80.     or.   772
12 cent = 2.40.   or    579 days
15 cent = 3.00   or.    463 days

so even if it does 150 mh at 150 watts the price of 1499 makes it not the best mining card.

I would buy 1 or 2 of them and use with my thread rippers.
13109  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Ant Miners useful to mine altcoins? on: September 11, 2020, 03:16:37 AM
Hi forum members,
just saw there are any old ant miners, like s5,s6, s9 etc. being sold for $100- $600.
I know they are useless to mine BTC today, but my question is if is it possible to use them to mine any other altcoins?

No , Asic's in question are programmed to mine with SHA256 Algorithm (Mainly BTC). So u can use it to mine any other coin with uses the same algorithm as mining BTC is not profitable .


Ok, would you mind to mention some examples of altcoins to mine with it?

Or a source where I can take a look?

the s9 is okay for bch or bsv

but the l3+ does ltc and doge merged mined at viabtc.com

it is fairly quiet and has a lot of control to let set your hash rate and sound levels.

i have
 15 l3+ sitting in boxes
8 s9s sitting in boxes.

short-term correlation between BTC and equities or even other assets

It's not a "short-term correlation" so much as a new paradigm. Let me know when you understand the difference.

It started in feb as both the market and btc crashed hard.

It is fairly true for 2020.

Far less true prior to 2020.

Most  likely will not be true in 2021 or 2022.

Part of the reason if was not true prior to 2020 was it was too novel and too small. But this year a lot of  market money has bounced into btc as markets are besides theirselves with fears of a big crash.

It is still too small a cap under 300 bill not to delink from the market.

The real question is not if they are linked at the moment but when does btc pass the market and leave it behind.

BTC already has left the market behind.

The mere fact that you can draw short-term correlation between February 2020-ish to present, hardly means shit.

It's like cavemen looking at shadows in a cave trying to proclaim that they know what is going on outside the cave, when it would be much more informative to look outside the cave and determine directly what is going on rather than relying upon shadow interpretation (aka limited information).

While you may want that to be true right here right now as I type the evidence shows it to be not yet.  When and if it goes up up and away in 2021 to 50-100k and in 2022 to 250k you would be correct.   But then again I am just a guy typing on a keyboard in NJ, USA.

 Not an insider or a big BTC owner. I dabble at it all. More of a very small business for me than anything else.

It is not so much that charts are not good. They are incomplete.

It is not so much that my difficulty analysis along with gpu shit coin profit to asic btc profit is good or bad . It is in complete.

Using both are incomplete.  A major reason is any and all cryptocoins are still small market cap.

btc is 10400  x 18.5 mill in the grand scheme of wealth it is very small piece of wealth.

So price manipulation is easy to do.



I also suspect that like banks 🏦 most exchanges do not have all the wealth on hand.

Ie an exchange run 🏃‍♀️ on btc is just as easy to occur as a bank run on fiat.

This is a completely different issue but it is a real and true price drag on btc.

Still I am bullish for now and will be bullish both long and short term.




Charts will always be an incomplete predictive method for btc. As is my diff prediction and eth to btc mining ratios are incomplete.

combining both is helpful but are still incomplete predictive methods even when used together.

Ie an exchange run 🏃‍♀️ on btc is just as easy to occur as a bank run on fiat.

bank run= people taking their money out of the bank, bank stops functioning because they run on fractional reserve and don't have money there for everyone to take money out

exchange=should not run on fractional reserve, but even if it does, exchange simply closes (aka MtGox), screwing the participants

I don't see how this is a current drag on price, except a psychological blow (in case of MtGox).

BTW, people keep taking btc off of exchanges, so, maybe, all exchanges are ultimately doomed, apart from DEXes.
One can say that exchanges always need an influx of new users, otherwise experienced users will empty them (apart from price spikes when people deposit back).

It is a tough call I certainly could be wrong.  But here goes nothing.

If I say my exchange has 100,000 btc on hand in real deposits it can allow for a shit ton of trading.

If a shit ton of trading is done with non existent  coins  the supply is falsely boosted.  If supply is 50,000 not 100,000.  Trading is easily 2x what it should be doing.  Since it is easy to do it creates the illusion that demand is easy to meet.

If all of the above is 'true' and exchanges are far short of what they say they have. The traders of the world are buy-ing easy coins due to falsely reported supply.

Since I have zero idea how true all of the above is in terms of true supply really on hand I am merely guessing that it is falsely reported at 2x or 3x the true circulating number of 6.5 mill.  Based on earlier post I did showing that 11 million coins have stayed in place over 1 year in a row.

[...]

so purchase price is far lower to earn eth which in my case I autovert to btc.

So my point is mining btc via eth is better then mining btc straight across.

These are indicators of a lopsided ratio that favors mining eth to convert to btc.

[...]

Farmers will create more demand for btc by doing what I do. Mine eth and auto vert to BTC.

Ah, so your thesis is that shitcoin miners will dump their profits into Bitcoin.  Makes sense.  The way I read your prior post (and I read it twice), it came off as implying that the Bitcoin price should rise to equalize profitability over the higher cost of mining Bitcoin, or something of that nature.  Thanks for explaining.

Now if I were Proudhon I would say eth will drop even more and it will level out.

I don’t think that’s a proudhonism.  Most shitcoins should and will go to zero.  Ether probably won’t go to zero anytime soon, but it is way overvalued; and in terms of fundamentals, the ETH2 vapour clusterfork will continue to provide merry entertainment whilst other projects with better technology rise to eat their lunch.  (I’m not even stating that from a Bitcoin-maximal perspective:  If you want a blockchain that does what Ethereum does, but does it without so much failure and frustration, then you should be looking elsewhere...)  So, long-term prospects there are indeed quite bad; and in the shorter term, why wouldn’t dumping by miners help push down the ETH price?  I have seen that happen with others.

Meanwhile, enjoy your ethereally “mined” bitcoins!

A) thanks for post back
B) I am enjoying my eth to btc mining a lot.
C) The internet does cause a lot of misunderstandings. You meaning me write something with a thought in mind. Read what you wrote and say cool.  Then some read it and interprets it in a completely different way then the composer intended it to be understood.

Yep and the real key is gpu/shit coin mining.

here is some cost analysis for a miner.

[...]

I don’t think that this is relevant to Bitcoin’s market prospects.

The notion that Bitcoin is given its value by mining cost, or “backed by electricity”, etc. is a pernicious myth that needs to die.  It is the organic rise of Bitcoin’s value (based on supply and demand) that drives mining cost (and thus, Byzantine security) by increasing hashrate competition.  Not vice versa.



...

....



(Moved, to keep replies in order.)

Interesting argument.  

Lets look at it closer.  There are at least 4,000,000 coins that sit still

this shows 3.84 mill
https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2019/07/bitcoins-untouched-supply-reaches-all-time-high/

and far more amazing


https://news.bitcoin.com/close-to-11-million-btc-havent-moved-in-over-a-year/

this show 11 million untouched for a year.

lets play with 11

18.5 mined
11.0 frozen
  6.5 liquid

and 2.5 to be mined

my argument is that the 2.5 mill left  are costing 6000 watts a day to mine  0.000169 coins.  or around $17.60 plus about 4600 to get the setup

eth has ? left are costing 2100 watts a day to mine around    0.066 eth                                or  around         $24.06 plus about 4600 to get the setup up.

so purchase price is far lower to earn eth which in my case I autovert to btc.

So my point is mining btc via eth is better then mining btc straight across.

These are indicators of a lopsided ratio that favors mining eth to convert to btc.

I can "buy" $24.06 in eth convert to btc and get btc at a discounted price.

Now last week the ratio was stupid high.

about $72.00 in eth convert to btc and get bc at a discount price.

these ratio's are my indicators of future price.

Now if I were Proudhon I would say eth will drop even more and it will level out.

personally I see the opposite I see btc price goin higher so that mining btc direct is better then mining eth and autoverting to btc.

Both of us agree that the scarcity of BTC is driving its value. hodl hodl hodl 11 million hodl for a year straight = great.

I personally think btc will rise about 24/17 x 10200 = 14400 can happen over night so to speak. More so then eth dropping 17/24  x 369 = 261 usd.

Now my gut tells me the BTC mining value will move hard on an upward level and I see 14,400 by sept 30.

Both of us like btc as the key coin. Both of us  like that it is scarce.

I don't use chart analysis like most do here.

I use difficulty and mining profit ratios to determine my future numbers.

I see eth staying at 369 or more and this will cause btc to go up in price.

Farmers will create more demand for btc by doing what I do. Mine eth and auto vert to BTC.

So I see a strong movement here.


Nvidia's new cards are in demand and they will try to pump eth for sales.

That in turn gets more eth miners and since many are exactly like me BTC believers that auto vert to btc.

In fact here is a major pool


https://www.viabtc.com/pool/state

and they now are expanding auto conversion of some coins  to btc.

Many pools auto vert eth and all other shit coins to btc this all  increases demand for btc.

Ie If I mine 2000 usd  day in eth I buy 2000 usd in btc. = higher demand for a scarce coin.

look at my demand for btc below all autovert mining eth to btc
weds 9th —- 0.0326 btc
weds 2nd - - 0.0279 btc
weds 25th -  0.0201 btc
weds 18th - 0.0202. btc
weds 11th - 0.0110. btc

i am not the biggest gpu miner,but there are lots of us.

Look at my demand increase from 0.0110 btc a week to 0.0326 btc a week

now picture 100 like me you move demand from

1.10 btc a week to 3.26 btc a week

now picture 1000 like me you move demand from 11 btc a week to 32.6 btc a week

now picture 10000 like me you move demand from 110 btc a week to 326 btc a week

remember this btc are not mined so they are purchased from the newly mined btc or circulating coins.

at a certain point enough higher priced  eth changing into   btc like i do will drag btc price up.

nicehash mines 33 btc a day with eth

last week it was 11 btc a day with eth

this is a 22 coin a day increase in demand  for btc.

Hey all... firstly i wanted to state that it was NOT me that posted that ETH Morpheus pill or whatever thread that got locked in this forum! Apparently there was a breach here that exposed some user passwords?  Anyway, I just logged on and saw that crap and therefore just changed my PW.

Now, on to a few mining questions...  I got my 5700XT rig up and running a few days ago, but seems there may be fan issues on 2 of the 4 GPUs i have hooked up so far. 

Here is what I am generally seeing (running this on SMOS):

GPU1- MSI 5700XT Gaming:              ~49 degrees / 30-40% fan / ~110W
GPU2- MSI 5700XT Gaming:              ~46 degrees / 72-80% fan / ~110W
GPU3- Gigabyte 5700XT Gaming OC:  ~48 degrees / 70-100% fan / ~110W
GPU4- MSI 5700XT Evoke:                 ~51 degrees / 30-40% fan / ~110W

My SMOS settings for this rig:

Core MHz:  1300
Memory Mhz:  900
Aggressive Undervolt: On
PowerStage:  5
Target Temp:  68
Min Fan Speed:  30

For reference, this rig is in my garage, next to my 2 1070ti rigs that usually run around 60-66 degrees with about 40% avg fan speed.

Question #1:  any idea why GPU's 2 & 3 would be spinning their fans much faster than 1 & 4?  Especially strange to me since #1 & #2 are the exact same brand/model, and the temps are not even remotely close to my target temp of 68.

Question #2:  are these high fan speeds risky in any way?  All things being equal, is there a spin rate that I should be targeting not to exceed?

Question #3:  is there a way within SMOS to control the MAX fan speed?  The MIN fan speed shows up in the OC window but cant see anything to set the MAX. 

If it is not good to have these high fan speeds, my school of thought is to reduce those even if it results in higher temps since current temps seem to be quite low around 50.  Or, is there something about 5700 series that they need to run much cooler than 1070ti's or rx 470's?


some msi cards are nuts about the fan speed.

 but try the options

 Memory UV (MVDD):  1275,1275,1275,1275

Memory UV (MVDDCI):  775,775,775,775


or

Memory UV (MVDD) 1300,1300,1300,1300

Memory UV (MVDDCI) 800,800,800,800


stock is

1350
850

and may make the memory hot

which will speed the fans


I have gone as low as

1250
  750

but usually

1300
  800

is the one that works best.

$10,000 holding strong, give up bears, resistance is futile.

$13,000 coming soon......

This year resembles 2016 in so many ways - the halving, the recovery after 85% crash, and last but not least - various shitcoin pumps. It is very hard in general for a n00b to avoid the traps of the fast profit seeking with these pumps. They have both positive and negative effect on the Bitcoin price. Positive - because part of the trading is with Bitcoin pairs and so more Bitcoins are locked in these markets. Also, after 99% of the "traders" register losses, they come to their senses and understand that the only real profit is longterm by investing and hodling Bitcoin. Negative - the remaining 1% (usually the creators of the scam exits) harvest tens and hundreds of millions profit. The profit which is in bitcoins they have little hesitation to sell and dump the price. This is probably what happened in the last days with sushi exit scam and other defi shitcoins listed on binance as well. Perhaps the bears thought they can take advantage of this situation and put a pressure on 10K, but all this is in vain. They just can't hold the price any longer to fill their bags with cheap coins. This is not only the end of their sub 10K throw the kitchen sink efforts - this is the continuation of a massive bull run which, with several short pullbacks, should take us above 100K in few years. But hey, may be the bears will succeed in bringing the price below $100K for several months. And proudcon and other funny trolls will come and inform us that Bitcoin is dead and it is coming down to $60K. Same old, same old.  

Yep and the real key is gpu/shit coin mining.

here is some cost analysis for a miner.

15 x 270.00 =   4050 this gets you 15x amd 5600 msi gpus.
3 x 175.00   =     525 this gets you 3 motherboards land and ready for the cards.
3 x  33.33    =     100 this gets you 3 psu's used s9 psu's are good the apw3+

total cost =   4675 usd. you burn 2100 watts it earns 24.00 usd not counting the power cost of 2100 watts


4800 gets you 2 s19 pros you burn 6000 watts.  it earns 17.38  not counting the power cost of 6000 watts

huge disparity in favor of gpu mining.

last time this happened was 2016 and 2017.  so are we in a good loop. these numbers led a huge rally in btc.

They are power hungry almost 220 watts to do 100-115mh

my amd 5600 take 85 watts to do 40mh

so I can get 3x 5600 for 270 = 810

and it is mining as I type
