1461  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Radeon RX 7000 on: May 10, 2023, 04:28:18 PM


According to the photograph and the information that was provided, an undisclosed store in Asia has AMD Radeon RX 7600 graphics cards in stock. This does not mean that the card is on sale though, as many retailers often prepare stock before the sales embargo lifts. However, this is a direct confirmation that there is indeed a Radeon RX 7600 GPU, and it is about to launch very soon.

More importantly, this leak featuring Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 PULSE GPU, so a custom model, confirms that this SKU will feature 8GB memory. This card is reportedly said to launch around the same time NVIDIA introduces its GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB graphics, which is now rumored to also feature 16GB variant later.

As I observe prices in the video card markets, Nvidia is forcing its partners to reduce prices for the mid-range RTX 3060-3070 video cards so that they do not interfere with sales of new video card models. Intel doesn't have that performance yet, but they can offer competition at a lower price point.

Yeah not surprised. They really should of liquidated those GPUs during the POW days. The issue with those GPUs in particular is that they aren’t oriented for gaming. They got 1 output if I recall. So most likely no gamer will buy them.

Add in bad profitability and hence the price. The seller probably assumed ETHW or ETC would gain more market cap and it would remain profitable however months have gone by and not much has changed.

I think these rigs prices will even go more down with the passing of time and nothing happens in ETHW,ETC or ETF coins,these are the only GPU-s ETCHASH coins that can be mined,the top ones as there are others also but nothing is changing.I also changed from ETHW to ETC my mining rig only to get the money to my Atomic Wallet to directly exchange there in ZIL as I don't see that much other options for mining.With the passing of time most probably the people will start getting more angry and bored as they will see there is very little profit and sell even newer rigs at a very cheap price,I am exactly waiting for that moment.
ETHW, ETC or ETF are coins for mining with the help of asics. I don’t see any hope of making a profit on these coins. There is little profit at an electricity price of 5 cents, but after 5 years of mining, video cards need to work for at least 3 years. This is a bad lottery.

Yeah I have seen those Jasminer at just over 1 Ghsh for 340 watt power consumption and also the Ipollo Se and mini versions,they consume really low in terms of power and their hash rate is big enough,I think that you are right and maybe video cards are indeed a bad lottery which need to be changed for these types of efficient miners which anyone can keep in some space in their home no matter how small their home maybe,I love producers which make ASICS with low power consumption and a relatively good hash rate.If I had money to spare I would definitely buy that Jasminer X4 at 340 watt for 1040 Mhsh.
A new ASIC model Jasminer X16 has already been released: 1845 MH/s at 630w. In terms of its energy efficiency, it is more profitable than older models and more profitable than Antminer E9 Pro, but there will be problems with the purchase. Antminer E9 Pro is sold from many trusted vendors for 4-4.5 thousand dollars at retail. Jasminer X16 I think will cost the same, but now it has to wait about 2 months.

This clearly is a much better ASIC and I think it should be a great buy for anyone who has the money.For me I would buy the X4 if its price goes down with the release of this new one.Unfortunately there are not many people willing to sell used units of such good miners,even the E9 Pro which is more widely available I have checked locally and internationally and very few persons sell such devices,it means that there are people,a lot of them believing in the long term of mining success,I only wish had like 5000 dollars spare to buy one such device and keep it in my home and be extremely happy  Grin.
Jasminer are very expensive ASICs. Antminer E9 Pro will replace 7 Jasminer X4 ASICs. I think the Antminer E9 Pro update is coming soon and we will see even more hashrate to make the competitors lose out.

This one though is not that expensive at 2000 dollars I think,considering that Bitmain rarely makes efficient miners in terms of consumption (and I mean in the low side of power consumption because they may be very efficient with devices with much higher hash rate) and this can run at home very stable and very good.

If I had to build a rig with 8 GPU-s to make it go to 520 mhsh I would most likely pay more money than 2000 dollars and surely that rig would need more maintenance than this X4 Asic device.I have never been a fan of ASICS exactly because of that higher power consumption but now seeing manufacturers that have lowered drastically the power consumption I am thinking seriously of owning one.
I would study the prices of 3060 ti video cards in order to build a mining farm of 8 video cards. Most likely it will be more expensive, but you will have the choice to mine some profitable coins in the future. And with this ASIC you will have a choice of several popular coins.

Ethereum’s staking rewards hit a record 8.6% post-Merge, with validators earning $46 million in the first week of May, citing the memecoin craze responsible.
Validators earned $46 million in the first week of May due to an increase in the staking rewards rate, which is a metric for validators’ annualized yield. According to data, validators earned 24,997 Ether in the week, representing a 40% increase over the previous week’s income of $33 million, when 18,339 ETH were distributed as rewards.

NVIDIA RTX 5090 to Leverage TSMC’s 3nm (N3) Node, Launching in Late 2024
The upcoming RTX 50 series GPUs, codenamed Blackwell, are planned for a late 2024 release. Like Ada, it will also be a monolithic design. According to Kopite7kimi, these GPUs will be fabbed on TSMC’s 3nm (N3) node. You can expect transistor counts of over a billion and densities of nearly 150 billion/mm². Blackwell should offer core clocks of over 3GHz and bus widths of up to 512 bits, resulting in memory bandwidths rivaling HBM memory.
https://www.hardwaretimes.com/nvidia-rtx-5090-to-leverage-tsmcs-3nm-n3-node-launching-in-late-2024/



For mining the bigger the number of transistors which the lower the nm production the bigger the numbers that can be fitted in should be a good choice (despite us not knowing what will happen to mining until 1.5 years from now).Rivaling the HBM memory is also a super good thing also as it means we would have much more algos to choose from when using these cards in mining.I wonder what will be AMD response to this as they did make an agreement to produce 4nm cards wtih Samsung but this news from Nvidia should clearly make them think as most likely they will lose the war again like every time against Nvidia in GPU market.
What AMD has to offer gamers instead of NVIDIA RTX 4090 now?
Nothing. Or come up with a very hot dual-chip video card at a cheaper price.
At this rate, they will lose the mining market unless Nvidia comes up with new mining restrictions.

Maybe I haven’t worked with server hardware for a long time, but I have seen an extended warranty of up to 5 years for server hard drives. Maybe such indicators are for hard drives with a large amount of memory, because the data in this article seemed too sad to me.

Bitmain Antminer S5 - 1.155Th/s  and 600W.
When an ordinary ASIC gives 100 times more hashrate, then I would not run Antminer S5 even with free electricity. $4 a month is a very small income and it's already summer. The cost of transactions must still grow several times to think about this ASIC.
1469  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Colorful Offers Up To $1000 US Trade-In on: May 10, 2023, 03:40:56 PM
Looks like gpu sales doomed  Grin

Especially for not so well known brands like Colorful which I have known it only lately in the last bull run in 2021 I saw such brand in Ali Express which was all over the place and the prices strange enough were the same level or near the same as super well known brands like Evga,Palit,Gainward and MSI.

I think that now that the price of cryptos suggest we are still in the crypto winter,we most likely will only see further downside of the prices of the GPU-s,some people in Russia as pointed in another thread here are already selling 8 GPU rigs with full parts for the price of one GPU already.
There are many Colorful video cards in Russia and the build quality is good. The 5000 series will appear only in early 2025, and then according to reviews it will be 5090, so you need to look at prices and offers from competitors. But more than 5 years of payback of a video card in mining greatly reduces demand.

lolMiner 1.76

Changes
Improved performance of Blake3-Alephium mining on Nvidia Turing and newer cards by 15-18%.
Improved performance of Blake3-Ironfish mining on Nvidia Turing and newer cards by 9-11%.
Slightly improved performance of Blake3-Ironfish mining on AMD cards by ~0.8%.
Slightly improved performance of Nexa mining on Nvidia Turing and newer cards by ~0.6%.
Updated dag repair tables for OctaSpace, ETHW & ETC mining to cover current epochs
Added option --screen to enable a special mining mode in case a GPU is connected to a screen to prevent shuttering. The value -1 activates this mode for all cards, any value above or equal 0 will activate this mode for the GPU with index equal to the provided number. E.g. --screen 0 will active it for the first card detected by the miner.
Note: it is in the nature of this option to cost some performance when used. At the moment this option is available for Ethash (AMD cards), Kaspa (Nvidia), Nexa, Alephium and Ironfish solvers.
Fixes
Fixed a bug with Alephium mining on RTX4090 producing duplicated shares.
Fixed a bug making some Nvidia only rigs to need --no-cl parameter to mine Ironfish.
Fixed a bug causing Nvidia Ampere-based CMP HX GPUS & Nvidia Ax000 series not to mine blake3 algorithms.
Fixed a bug rarely causing defect shares on AMD cards when mining Ironfish.

YOU are right, in the summer this is a bad algorithm for video cards, and if there are other coins for mining, then it is better not to mine hot coins.

As of Q1 2023, Backblaze managed 236,893 HDDs. The report assesses the reliability and failure rates of various models, and since its inception, the company has witnessed 17,155 HDD failures.
Backblaze, the cloud storage and storage analytics expert, has published a comprehensive report detailing the reliability of hundreds of thousands of hard drives employed in the company's servers. On average, the failed hard drives had an operational lifespan of merely two years and six months, which is less than the minimum three-year warranty mandated by European law.

Buddy, if you want to mine cryptocurrencies, then you need cheap electricity and equipment: ASICs, video cards and more.

If you are interested in such mining, then this is not really mining

Another option is the CHIA coin, which is mined on hard drives, and mining does not require powerful computers and enough home outlets, but the profit there is very weak now.
