Adding a few Squirrel Acorn 215+'s for your ten GTX 1070's could be worthwhile. You might want to upgrade the mainboards that host your 1070's as well. The Acorn FPGA's are supposed to give a +30% hash rate boost for some algos.
Yeah, Acorn 215+ for 1070 and also CLE-101 for 580 was a great idea and some Nest X2G. Is it really worked? Have you tried these GPU boosters? I just heard Acorn 215+ from my friend who's bought it, but it's doesn't arrive yet, so I've never see and tested it directly. None have shipped yet, but that is supposed to change any day now. Maybe wait a few weeks and see what the real world effects of the Acrons are. Might be brilliant, might be 'meh' given the bear market. |

your Mining Rig looks very neat dude, usually, a frame like that when placed on the floor using a carpet or your floor looks from wood. by the way, I see the distance between each card is too close together, is there a problem with the temperature on each card.
Like I said. No there isn’t any problem with temp. There are 6 fans surrounding the cards that pull air across them. What GPUs are these? 6-pin connector only means probably RX 560's? I always find myself cursing the PSUs because they never seem to have enough cables to feed all PCI-E's or Molex or both... Or rx470/480s. I dunno, 6 cards on an evga 1300, 9 on a 1600, leaves some overhead and nothing melts... |

while ETH dumps might (and will) happen, there are hundreds/thousands of legit businesses in there that would stop tomorrow if they had no ETH.
...you are not saying ETH is "too big to fail"... or are you? Bring in the cavalry! Help us Janet Yellen! Bail us out!  Anything 'too big to fail' is of course already f***ed by the time anyone says that ;-) The really worrying thing is if you widen the scope a little, especially in Europe/UK. Nothing really banging a drum that doesn't say 'bury the money and panic buy baked beans'... |

Anybody who was hoping for a recovery - consider this: the thing that made ETH run up (because sheer exuberance itself cuz moon) was ICO purchases that tied up ETH. Now all those fake or weak project are dumping their ill gotten gains and trashing the market. They still have a long, long way to go. They will keep liquidating as they too get scared. Hell if you scammed $100 million in USD of ETH out of stupid investors and it's now worth $10 million - it's better to cash out now and have $10 million than wait for it to become $5 million. Many of these ERC20 tokens will be cosbycoins.
I would be surprised at any sustained bull activity before Q2 of 2019.
Perfect sense, I'd always taken a bit of comfort from the fact that all those ERC20 tokens need gas, so while ETH dumps might (and will) happen, there are hundreds/thousands of legit businesses in there that would stop tomorrow if they had no ETH. Also, while you're right about the megahype curve over the last 6-7months, there are new ICOs planned for the future, so it's not 'dead' just tanking in an apocalyptically bad way. Q2 2019 is a good bet I reckon... |

They probably have just been mining on everyone's preordered hardware and made up the "delay" to make some extra money.
The Acorns are billed as accelerators in the main, so that wouldn't work so well. |

Aye, it's definitely a scam, and well do you know this. Telegram bots are not asics.

Where is the best place to buy a Xilinx VCU1525? And how much modification does it need to work? If there are better options now, I reckon we would all like to know...  This whole thread is about the VCU and subsequent BCU group buy. Zetheron.com has details of the various mods. Buying a stock VCU will be a challenge, going direct is pretty much your only hope, and that'll take over a month at least. BCUs are/were on mineority.io. |

Nice one!
As a side note, interesting that the more reasonable company reps are with people, the more aggressive they get. As a contrast, the (important to note: completely unrelated) Dwarfminer scam thread barely saw this much angst, and that was a bust from the off.
Finally, while there might be delays on this group buy, what are the other obvious options for a keen miner? Buy new Nvidias? Sell all GPUs, buy....Biakal/BM asics? None of these look particularly tempting from here anyway...
With zen not forking, it looks like the z9 has so more time to go before becoming uninteresting but personaly I will never buy from bitmain. No indeed. I bought an early D3, and we all know how that worked out. Very clever, Mr Wu, very clever, but I'm not playing anymore. |

I've had to double check a few times the year when the OP made this post and since its "2018" it makes absolutely no sense to mine SC with GPUs now. Its basically all dominated by ASICs. Even with free electric its not worth the extra heat of dual-mining SC.
SC was worth mining back in 2016 before there was pools and you were forced to solo mine it , when you found a block you got like 250,000 SC.
Second time when it was worth mining was in June 2017 by dual mining it with ETH, I think with an RX 480, you could of made an extra $2/day/per GPU on top of your regular ETH mining income.
Now it doesn't make any more sense to mine SC. No idea why this guide was even created.
This. Used to be a neat little extra to dual mine, but now you may as well heat the room by burning fiat of your choice instead of mining sia... |

Awesome. What payment types will you accept when live?
Shame about the shroud costs, the render looks badass.

What really surprised me was the absence of /u/ohgodagirl or someone else from the ProgPOW team to champion their proposal.
There seemed to be a very ambivalent attitude toward ProgPOW and that some core devs we're not that familiar with it.
What i find funny about this, is that they were very much for ProgPOW before they started selling FPGAs. I doubt they are much for ProgPOW anymore now that all they sell and advertise is FPGAs. Don't think any Fpga has claimed to be effective on eth. Memory seems to be an issue. |

Yahh ROI 600 days, but your gpu dead after 200 days  Dead after 200 days? You're doing something wrong, sir... |

Not many people, I'd imagine. Given the lack of bitstreams available to joe public at the moment (many are promised/in development/private), I think a lot of people will wait and see what happens with the BCUs, and the bear market too. Bit chicken and egg at the moment for bitstream devs, to be fair.

Quick related question - how do people manage their wallets? BTC and the bigger alts are easy enough, but sh**coins often have their own wallet, installer, etc. Leads to a lot of clutter... Use a dedicated PC? Paper wallets?

Think pricing for the pro cards is (roughly):
Quadro RTX 5000: $2300 (£1800)
Quadro RTX 6000: $6,300 (£4390)
Quadro RTX 8000: $10,000 (£7828)

Behind every revolutionary project there is a bunch of freshly registered forum members to praise it on the forums A whole 6 pages of them! That's some serious effort right there. |

"I'm mining but I'm not going to say how to protect myself"

Yep, miners are dumb. He says on an alt mining board. Anyway, go check out other investments, find me one that rois in c. 12 months. Ain't so easy.

tytanick
could you look into adding SQRL Miner to SMOS when it is released (next month) as it will have support for
- Acorns
- Possbily the private verson of EthLargement (mentioned in an interview with gpuminer & kristy-leigh yesterday)
upvote This. Also tdxminer to save us having to run it manually. |
