lolMiner 1.69 Changes Added Nexa support for AMD Vega / VII (1) and RDNA 1-3 GPUs (2) The parameter --keepfree can now be used to keep a certain amount of memory free on each GPU on Nexa mining. This might end up in allocating a smaller lookup table, so the GPU memory has space left for other workloads (3) The --keepfree parameter is now working for each GPU separately. Use a comma separated list of values if you want to assign different values for each GPU. Nexa mining will now allocate memory for each GPU sequentially and delay later cards startup slightly to help systems with small virtual memory. https://github.com/Lolliedieb/lolMiner-releases/releases/tag/1.69Check all links with this post from the developer. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4724735.0 https://t.me/Info4atlanin/8771need to update AMD drivers

New graphics cards are still very expensive. If you believe in coins that need a powerful GPU core to mine, then Nvidia's 4000 series wins. But we do not know how the new video cards will work in mining and the 16pin connector causes great concern for many miners.

I see that many miners are starting to buy RAM for hard drive plotting. Video cards help make this operation much faster, but I would buy these coins if I believed in the future. I don't really believe that BHD will be popular either.

Please tell me, is it possible to use ASIC E9 Pro for mining Ethereum POW coins and other coins that use the Ethash algorithm?
Ethereum Classic has a similar Etchash algorithm, and when mining on video cards, the hashrate is the same on both algorithms. But I'm interested in the situation with the new ASIC.
Ethash is Ethash. The E9 supports all Ethash and Etchash coins, it doesn´t matter what coin - only limitations is DAG size in the Future. But i don´t know how much RAM this Asic has for the DAG. EDIT: The E9 has 7GB of RAM for the DAG. I thought that these ASICs have restrictions on the number of coins. Then all old AMD video cards will be useless in mining coins with Ethash and Etchash algorithms. And 7 GB of RAM will be enough for the next 5 years of mining, but perhaps the ASIC will break earlier. |

IF electricity is inexpensive. I know there are very few places where electricity is not expensive. Now what if OP is not from such an area, what advice do you give him?
I was only giving him an alternative and it's surely not bad.
I have already said that if your electricity is more expensive than 6-8 cents, then it is better not to engage in mining. But large mining companies have tariffs of 3-5 cents. I prefer mining on video cards, because new coins appear and there is a chance to pay back a video card in 6-8 months. I think asking to get a payback on a certain card for 6-8 months is not possible during such time that we are in.We are still in a crypto winter and this is the best time to collect coins,you either mine them,which is what I do or you invest in them by buying them.Electricity I think is a key factor for people running more than 3-4 rigs while for people running only one rig even if the electricity is a bit high it is still affordable in the sense that people can even pay a bit of loss by waiting for the next crypto craze which can bring insane profits if done right. When ethereum was worth more than $3,000, even those people who had electricity for 25 cents and more were mining. Now is not the time for profit and quick payback for video cards, there are a lot of nuances for new miners, because prices in the equipment markets have not yet fallen much. |

I am using a Mac mini as I type.
I have 3 in the house. They allow me to run core wallets safely. They are more secure than windows in general. less secure that linux. But you can run linux on them.
I thought that a safe use case for cryptocurrencies is a hardware wallet. I do not like Mac laptops, because in Russia the price for them has always been 50-100% more expensive than the market price. This was before the sanctions and now. And their repairs are very expensive. Mge likes their quick system recovery with a few keystrokes, but I also have no problem installing Windows from a flash drive. License keys for Windows Pro on aliexpress cost 3 dollars. |

What reviews are you talking about? The Chinese sell video cards after repair at 2 times cheaper, and these video cards work for at least 6-12 months in general. Delivery to Russia from China takes several weeks, so many people buy video cards there for 50-70 dollars.
In the store, a new analogue costs $ 220 minimum.
I'm from Vietnam so local reviews cover something that is very obscure and questionable Chinese products that you won't see anywhere. A bunch of dudes found something very cheap but questionable quality/price, a dude with technical background brought it first and broke it down, testing to see what was inside them and telling the other if it was worth the price/performance for social creed. We've some really old bb forums that took root from overclocking and PC hardware since 2006. Also, some VGA is at the end of product life so I doubt if you could find a truly new analogue for that VGAs (1060, 580,...) There are a lot of offers of such video cards on Aliexpress, I even met lots for $50, but apparently the price is different for each country. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005196592806.htmlI think that there are a lot of used chips for similar video cards, so for a poor gamer a good video card in the price range of 50-70 dollars. |

 Fraudsters have become more active. Please check all links, and the most reliable check is to see the post from the developer. If you run this miner, then you can lose all the coins that are available on your PC. It is better to use separate PCs for mining and in a negative scenario, you will reinstall Windows again. |

Rigel 1.3.8- (Nexa) Minor performance improvements
- (Nexa) Echelon protocol support
- (UI) Display GPU efficiency information (hashrate per watt)
Bug fixes:- Miner fails to lock core/memory clocks sometimes
SCAMAlways check links from multiple sources, don't trust anyone, not even me. https://github.com/rigelminer/rigel/releasesRigel 1.3.7 LatestIf you use Linux OS for miners, then their developers update the miners. That is why I do not like to use Windows in mining. The exception is mining with Nicehash and similar products, where developers check miners before adding. You're right. Just like we should not download the products of those who are not ready to communicate with the audience, and as I see it here, it is "VERY LARGE".
As I said, conclusions have been drawn, the review has been compiled.
I do not mind your feedback, just consider an important note: I am not a Rigel miner developer. |

GPU Plotting is Real – and Very Fast GPU plotting is here from Chia and madMAx – and it is very fast. K=32 plots in 1.5 minutes on a single high-end GPU + 256GB of RAM. GPU performance and i/o bandwidth are growing at a rapid pace Plot grinding, spoofing plots with GPU, can be theoretically performed once phase 1 is under 28 seconds, but isn’t economical and requires a lot of continuous energy Chia blockchain has constants set up to prevent plot grinding. The ultimate protection against plot grinding without hurting honest plotters is to keep it uneconomical Chia is proposing a CHIP to reduce the plot filter to ensure that plot grinding remains uneconomical for the foreseeable future https://www.chia.net/2023/01/20/gpu-plotting-is-real-and-very-fast/ |

Unfortunately where I am there are only high end cards in the used marked also,there is only Rx 6700,6800,6900 and very few Rx 5700 Xt-s here,we usually only have Sapphire or Powercolor brands so Sapphire which I agree is the best brands for AMD cards is widely used here.The prices though are much higher than that,some people here at 150 dollars are selling Rx 580 8 GB cards so here prices do not drop as much as in other parts of the world,people are attached to their things and want the highest possible monetary value for them even when the time of such device has passed.
A good thing though,Nvidia guys usually sell their cards a bit cheaper and that is why I have mostly Nvidias now in my rig,I have shut down the AMD devices.
Not all models are good from Powercolor, you can buy any model from Sapphire, they are all good. I asked you where are you? If you have such prices, then it is more profitable for you to bring video cards from other countries and sell them. This will give you a good profit. Right now I am in Albania from some years,relocated here for work and it looks like will be staying some others too as my child is growing up here.Yes whenever possible I have bought cards through Ebay but there is a lot of corruption in the postal office here and one time I have ordered a good one,and received one that the fans were not working,probably some guy at the customs or post office did it as the seller in Ebay is someone I have always bought and his feedback speaks for him.This happens rarely but it is enough to stop me from buying abroad. For Powercolor I am very happy with the performance of the Rx 6800 XT as I have three of them and they all run super cool even in the middle of the summer. I don't know anything about Аlbania, but don't Greece have cheap graphics cards? It is hot in your country in summer, but how much does a kilowatt of electricity cost in your country? You can come to Poland, Germany or Belarus to buy cheap video cards. I heard that Belarusian miners buy a lot of video cards in Poland, because mining is unprofitable there. |

Do they really recycle the old memory chips? If you take a GPU it usually has about 8 memory chips. And its very easy to remove these chips if you have the right equipment. Heat it up for a minute or two and remove it with a suction pen. The pain will come right after.
Its very difficult and time consuming to take off the old solder and then you need to carefully apply the balls on the solder joint, you use a stencil to do this. Again this is doable however doing 8 chips will take 30-60 minutes depending on skill level. If this was reballing some GPU chip for a product worth $500 it would be worth it, but to go thru this hassle of reusing the memory chips just sounds crazy.
I have heard many times that it is better not to reball the memory, and it will work worse due to possible overheating during installation. But when repairing video cards, the masters change one memory module several times, and the video card continues to work for a year or more. |
