Yes, that they are! On the other hand, the new M2 Mac Mini is actually quite a compelling purchase.
Why do I need him? I can buy this laptop for myself, but it is not cryptocurrency mining. I had an old macbook, but I installed Windows on it  For mining, this investment will never pay off. And in a couple of years this model will become obsolete, and video cards are constantly making a profit. Yeah, for mining no, I was just talking about in general for "regular computing." The new M2 Pro and M2 Max models cost about $3,000 in the US or Europe, and in Russia these laptops are 30-50% more expensive. This is an expensive item that will attract unnecessary attention from thieves, so I see no reason to buy such a laptop.And for the office, this is an expensive purchase. |

In Russia, there were many cases when a Chinese fake was sold in the official store.
Sold in official stores? That was the owners of these stores wanting to earn extra money with this fraud. How was this resolved? How can the user be sure that the product is really original? From my understanding with luxury clothes, usually there is some certificate of authenticy with it. This certificate has some security features. Whether those can be faked or not is another question. However unless you are familure with the product, it’s hard to tell whether it’s legit or not. Some pretty good looking fakes out there. I accidentally met a man who does this. The Chinese have learned to make a lot of branded items very cheap, but not all. They did not learn how to make branded glasses, but their dresses, T-shirts and bags are of very good quality. The certificate is also easy to forge. Store employees are engaged in such fraud, the owner will not do this. |

It's a lot cheaper to buy the crypto. You want noise and expenses? BTW. I don't care if your intrested. You ask and you get an answer. If you live in an apartment without a balcony, then I do not advise you to engage in mining. Indeed, the noise will disturb you. I paid off my investments in mining a long time ago, I have real estate where cheap electricity is 5 cents, I have video cards, and I want them to work and mine coins for me. It is probably more profitable for a beginner to buy coins now, and I want to mine coins. |

In 2015, there were no bat files in the downloaded distribution of the miner. When beginners asked how to start mining, they were sent to read the readme.txt file. Modern mining veterans can't even add a fallover pool to a ready-made bat file  We have different users and partners. If you don't want to get more customers, then we will use another miner.. I'm not a miner developer, so I don't care what miner you use. I use a miner that gives a larger hashrate. Now there is very little profit in mining, and the one who knows how to read instructions and use it will earn more. When I was new to mining, I also made mistakes and asked stupid questions, but I tried to learn and not say that if that's the case, then I'll leave you. |

I know that with certain Luxary clothing brands like Gucci or Prada they actually destroy the clothes instead of discounting them. They do this because they want their products to be in low supply and get more sales.
With GPUs however I don’t think it’s similar situation. There are millions of GPUs out there. Many people are trying to unload them. Buying back 1000 or 2000 units won’t really make a big effect in the market. It’ll only cost Asus tons of money.
In your country, there is no sale of these brands from China several tens of times cheaper? In Russia, there were many cases when a Chinese fake was sold in the official store. |

the next generation after gddr6x. 2xxx is a bear market series 4xxx is a bear market series. 5xxx series is the target, you can't rush things hehe
In the bull market, even old graphics cards were profitable, but we don't know if the 2000 and 3000 series will be profitable in 2024 or later when the Nvidia RTX 5090 comes out. true but.. there is always a "what if" after a new generation of tech is released there could be an enormous leap in performance like from 9xx to 1xxx and electricity savings from more efficient tech. there is also a small window of opportunity to buy those new cards cheap before bullrun starts hehe, but who knows if the PTSD is too strong you wouldn't want to buy those new cards hehe. I don't see performance breakthroughs. Many modern mining algorithms are highly dependent on the core frequency. And if we get a high hashrate, then the consumption of the PTX 4090 video card is in the range of 300-400 watts. For such mining, the miner needs to invest a lot of money in the cooling system. |

Which coins are you mining nowadays? I mine ETHW on AMD graphics cards. For nvidia, I try to choose profitable coins from the site https://www.hashrate.no/the next generation after gddr6x. 2xxx is a bear market series 4xxx is a bear market series. 5xxx series is the target, you can't rush things hehe

However this is only ASUS doing this. If they destroy the GPUs there is some benefit for them by reducing supply but they would also be helping out the rest of the GPU manufacturers at the same time and I don’t think they care whether their competition gets sales or not.
The fact that they only accept GPUs in "perfect working condition", is proof that their goal is to give the equipment a second use. It can even be to recycle board components. With the lack of materials on the market, it might be a strategy to get some. But will you give £300 to recycle material? I also think it will be for reconditioning and selling in smaller markets elsewhere in the world. I don't think Asus will sell old hardware. Perhaps they will sell it all to another company that will replace the cooling system and sell "new video cards" on aliexpress For a graphics card manufacturer, components are very cheap because of bulk purchases, so they definitely won't buy video cards for components. |

Please add failover pools in separate file
From README.md: " Failover pools are set by using `-o` multiple times.
Examples:
-o stratum+ssl://pool.woolypooly.com:3112
-o zmp+tcp://zil.flexpool.io:9486
mine Zilliqa to flexpool using ZMP protocol
-o [1]stratum+tcp://eth.f2pool.com:6688 -o "  Rigel 1.3.5 vs Rigel 1.3.6 when mining NEXA
roughly ~4% hash rate increase on Nvidia 2000 and 3000 serieshttps://t.me/koliamainer/8718 |

Have you seen ASICs in ETHW mining? Ask the Panda miner about this possibility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2My7aw2cxkBut on the other hand, the number of coins that I receive per day is important for me now. 1 terahash gives 0.737 ETHW per day. On video cards, the only way to make a profit is to wait for the price to rise. |

Updated prices for Nvidia 4xxx series and AMD 7xxx series
Thank you for the statistics. In Russia, the prices for used 3060-3070 series video cards have only just approached the recommended manufacturers' prices. Most people bought video cards very expensive and do not want to sell them, but the lack of profit in mining and the fall in prices of video cards in the markets makes people sell GPUs |

I have some spare GTX 1660 super GPU when I recently replaced my 2 desktop GPU with 3060 Ti. I plan to use it on mining but the update of Ethereum to PoS makes me loss interest on mining.
What altcoins is the best to mine these days? Is selling GPU is more efficient than use it on mining altcoin nowadays?
The GTX 1660 SUPER is low power and if you are willing to mine coins and not sell it then I would keep mining. https://www.hashrate.no/gpus/1660sIf you need a good profit right now, then there are no such coins, or I don’t know about it. But it's boring without mining, and I need to sell old video cards. |

ETC gave a good profit to miners who sold the coin for more than $100. But then the hashrate was small and most miners mined this coin on 4 GB video cards, so the hashrate was small. Now the hashrate is above 100 terahash, and if asics come to mining, then this coin will be for asics.
Yes, I sold my ETC coins for $107 each, and I was mining ETC since it was $5 and holding most of the coins. ETHW is also worth almost $5 now, but this does not guarantee that the price of Ethereum Classic will repeat. I don’t want to mine this coin on old video cards, and it’s unprofitable to buy new video cards for mining. And I don’t think that the owners of video cards 3060-3070 are mining this coin now. |
