Dont trust them
they are consitently way way optimistic on thier reports, for instance they still have not updated the ETHereum profits with the difficulty bomb diff increase and its been over 48 hours since that happened, this means to me they are updating the difficulties
manually or with a delayed script and not polling from the the block chains directly .
In crypto you need timely data to know when you should move your rigs to another algo or currency, whatamine is too slow for this.

Guys
I am trying to get my hands on these 8 x slot Colorful motherboards via my contacts in China.
The board was just launched and my contacts will get in touch with me on how to get them in bulk at the right price (ie. not from crazy resellers and huge markups).
Will revert as soon as I have more info.
Thanks
Nice I look forward to testing it. I got some info from my guy in China. 1. He said he could get them at 220 USD per mobo and payable in BTC only. 2. The above price is without shipping - he can arrange it for DHL, Fedex etc. - additional charges for this. 3. Taxation when goes through US Customs or Europe, Asia - I have no eye deer  My thoughts: 1. I think that price is on the high side. I dont mind giving my guy some markup for his efforts but gut feel this price a tad above my comfort level. 2. I don't see it selling in any of the China online markets yet - Aliexpress, TaoBao, AliBaba - I reckon we wait awhile more since this Colorful announcement was just last week. 3. I would not recommend buying in bulk - maybe 1 or 2 units for testing - and when we see better pricing from him or elsewhere then we group order for higher qty. 4. I would wait for awhile more for the mobo to officially get into the market - I think think this board no more than 150$-180$ (maybe). 5. This mobo is marketed by Colorful a massive IT company in China - currently largest NVIDIA distributor and they make their own OEM cards too. This seller is my trusted seller - bought many mining stuff from him and he is quite resourceful getting the parts I need in China for my farms. Let's discuss further this in this thread. I have never done any group buys, escrows etc. so I may need Phil to suggest better options, for those who wants to buys now at that 220$ price. Piggybacking on this I would like two to demo as well , ... $220 is fine for a few demo units I usually get two in case one is a dud when i test out new boards. |

why even buy vega, price on Rx 570 4gb is now $250 or so
half the price of the vega 56 at $549 , two of those mine more xmr than a single vega for around the same powe?
am I totally off with the numbers here? I understand you can achive higer density with the vega but , at $550 , might
as well get teo 580 or add a bit more for 1080ti ?

I'm seriously considering a couple of Vega 56's now... But I have a bit of a dilemma. I've got a thin client in the living room that's basically using iGPU. It's connected to my NAS, acts as a media server basically (it's running Kodi and also acts as a bluetooth receiver/air-port-thinngy for streaming music from ipad/iphone devices. I could add one or two Vegas on that board and mine away but there are 2 problems: noise and temperature - see, that thing is tucked away inside a cupboard. I however would still want to expand this rig because I want to use it as a local pc to play games on occasionally in the living room. Unfortunately it's driven by a Celeron and sports 4GB of ram. In the end I'm probably gonna have to take this little rig out of the cupboard, and put a new one in instead with a beefier cpu, more ram and a decent GPU if I want to run games from it. But I won't be able to use it for mining. I could recycle the old one though and put a few Vega's on. If I had space to put it anywhere...  Choices, choices... Vega's use so much power and are inferior to 1080 TI as well. Why not buy those ? |

To all,
I have calculated that it no longer makes sense to buy anymore Antminer D3's or any other Dash mining equipment because they amount you get per day will $2/day by June 2018.
My calculation is based on the current rate of growth and factors in $0.18/kwh.
So buyer beware unless they come out with a new miner of 100GHS @ 1200watt, then you can make a little money per day but just know when buying these miners, you have to be within the first 3 batches to make money for 6 months and then its over.
Not saying buyer beware but buyer be educated!
I get your point but quoting per day statistics 10 months out does not work here. I'm not saying it will be better but telling people it will make $2 per day is baseless. Hardware could be stale and dash price rockets or other way around newer greater stuff will come out and dash sinks and these won't even squeeze out a penny a day. youre not factoring in price rising |

so lucky with that first batch D3 grats , I have 5 cominng in nov and ordered 6 l3+ last week
asic mining is where im focusing on more in 2018 until volta comes out , Ill buy
a few more rigs when asics are out of stock but i think asics are thr better investment 2018 with possible eth pos

Yeah my plan was alot more risky , but I figured once the garage and power was hooked up its a one time cost and I was using the huge profits from the Eth spike

I have a 20kW solar array that I installed myself. Total cost was around $30k all inclusive. The quotes I got were over twice that.
I have a net metering agreement with my POCO, so what I don't use goes back on the grid and the POCO credits me at the same rate I pay, so 1:1. I'm in VA.
Before I started mining, I was actually building up a bank of kWh with the POCO since I didn't consume as much as I generated.
In June I generated 2,580 kWh and consumed 2,348,
In July I started mining and generated 2,846 kWh and consumed 3,974 kWh.
August was crazy hot. I generated 2,474 kWh and consumed 5,245 kWh.
My kWh rate is fixed year around and is about $0.12 with everything included. With the solar and assuming I consume twice as much as I generate, my effective rate is about $0.06 per kWh. I plan to add another 6.5 kW array, which I can do for about $4,800 since I already have the inverters and just need to get the panels and some Ironridge rails and hardware.
Very nice, a small solar array is in my future I think next year |

I see, seems very complex way outa my league , I guess since your partner owns it you can operate at a whole different level. @lonerangir buisness rate schedules are very diffrent from residential in pretty much all states , they call it the demand rate , basically you pay a higher fee if you dont use a minimum amount of power I think its like 1000kwh https://www.xcelenergy.com/staticfiles/xe/Regulatory/Regulatory%20PDFs/rates/MN/MNBusRateCard.pdffor example my total summer rate for 6000kwh this month was .03 + .025 plus the peak demand charges which came to .10 cents summer rates which is great since it includes fees and taxes in comparison im paying .15 cents summer rates residential in the house and when u add fees taxes and fueul charges its closer to .25 cents In the winter comercial rates are even better I expect to be paying. .06 or less october to april vs .15 residential |

Mostly likey you dont have enough power for the intital fire up, disable 3 of the cards and try clamore to see

1080 tis would be better than Rx due to lower tdp? I really love
Rx cards due to thier dual mining prowess and i dont even dual mine smh
p.s why only 52kw? are you not doing 240 or 208v ? 1200 amps at 240 would be far
more power?

Buy the fans yourself and calculate maybe 35$ an hour, 3 hours maybe + transport ? God. Damn. So much electricity coming in. wow. im pretty jealous. Its a nice project, you can browse grow-op forums too, we have similar....ventilation needs.
edit: check this old house on youtube, you can install those yourself if you are comfortable with that kind of work.
yeah he has 600 amp service I have 150 the solar array has 400 but if we do the solar array expansion we will add 400+400+400 = 1200 amps. this translates to about 39kwatts in the winer and 52kwatts in the summer We could run about 200x 1080 ti's we are planning a mix 1080 ti's 1070 amd 64 amd 56 bitmain s-9 avalon 721 avalon 741 maybe some ltc or x11 or d3 asics my god 400 amps from a solar array? thats insane how many panels did that take? thats another reason Im heaitant to install roof fans since at some point I want solar on my house roof and the garage I was told i could fit 100 panels between the house and garage , how much power could I generate with 100 solar panels? and can u raise the panels higher on the roof so it covers the vents? |

@fr4nkthetank , thanks for the tip? 3 hours to install six fans though? yes I am ordering the fans from zoro , they have a 20 percent discount on hvac gear. Only reason I have so much power is I got tired of paying residential rates and the heat generated by my 30 gpu rigs, as well as the constant brownouts in the summer. the power company only offered buisness demand service in my residentail zone for 500 or more amp service so I had to go big needed a city permit for a whole new pole and transformer which took three months for approval. total project cost for my electrician was 15k , which i only had. due to the spike in eth prices from feb to march |

@philipma1957 thats an excellent picture and yes its pitched like that but less of a slant around 50% less slant
I cant risk any gap under the garage door because of the sound of the miners fans and all, Its alreay loud as hell outside with only 10 or so rigs and my goal is for
a bunch of Asics and some more rigs so the less sound the better since this area is residential and metal thieves everywhere here
Standard gable-type fans just under the roof should work - and less worries about leakage. wont you have to still open holes in the roof? I still need a roofer and an electrician to install the fans , I wonder how much it costs to install 8 fans lol and two with curbs |

The market is not so volatile...
people are more volatile than anything
2 or 3 days is enough to think the whole cryptos are going to end, to stop mining etc
Cryptos up for months = cool, I love cryptos, Cryptos are the future
Cryptos down for 2 days = OMG run to the hills
yup lol , my portfolio was at 10k friday now its back too 25k panic in a volatile market is dumb , when stuff goes down near 100 percent in a few days you have to know its irrational fear and HODL |
