that’s because alot of us have transitioned to yeild farming and sold most of our gear
the remaining gear runs just hot enough to heat our hones in the winter or hobby farm.
mining as a buisness is for the big boya now but yeild farming provides more income anyways
THIS haha i still have some rigs, but im taking the easy money in Defi. At this rate ill be retired in a year, 100-300%APYs :O im making 10x as much in defi and its 95% passive, Defi/yield farming is the shit People always talked about how much exchanges make in fees, and now im getting a cut of that , love live Uniswap/Sushiswap/Harvest! Honestly, most of the small people still mining are prob just on nicehash anyways, these people arent really miners to begin with  shhh, this forum definitely needs a defi section without shilling, shows how far behind ppl are here still concerned about mining 😆 |

Well looks like the Antminer E3, the very first DaggerHashimoto ASIC, has transitioned into a door-stop pretty much. With new DAG released a few hours ago, Epoch #380, there are reports that E3 stopped mining ETH, even with the updated firmware. You would think they would switch and mine ETC instead? Turns out ETC don't want E3 on their network either and they are incompatible with the slightly different ETC algo with lower DAG. Looking at, https://etherscan.io/chart/hashrateShows pretty much almost no hashrate change. Maybe give it a day or 2 to settle. Really wondering how many of these E3 were actually produced. I remember when they were first released, people were saying that "Bitmain produced enough to cause a 51% attack" wonder if that was actually the case. some one said the big farms were upgrading thier e3 with bitmain help , and i know the innosilicon one has more mem, lik 6? those are really the majority of asics , the 3 hasn’t been sold for 3 years now? |

I’d like to ping this topic again. Here it is the end of 2020 and POW is still working.
I still maintain the opinion that the move to POS could effectively harm the eth economy. It’s no BTC, to be sure but ethereum has grown tremendously and with so many erc-20 tokens relying on the stability of a working system it will be really interesting to see how this plays out. From the start of this thread you can see how long they’ve been planning to move from mining to staking but always seem to get delayed or run into problems. Any opinions on this?
How many successful pow coins are out there. None that have gone up 10x and stayed up. I guess you could argue ripple is successful. But not so much. Eth will play with pos and if anything if they push it hard and truly look to go to pos then ETC may benefit. You guys remember the coin that was suppose to be Ethereum competition back in 2016 or so called Lisk (LSK). It was basically similar to ETH except that it was POS from the beginning. Many argued that ETH was in trouble because POS was the future and LSK would quickly overtake ETHs market share. And now how is LSK doing exactly? Its around $1 or so, and has a marketcap of less than $200 million while ethereums is $68 billion. So just because its POS isn't necessarily always a bullish thing. I think ETHs hashrate distribution is pretty fair in my opinion. Many people at home are mining it with their GPUs and securing the network. Probably even more home miners on ETH than BTC which is largely controlled by huge farms. What POS will do is reduce the carbon footprints but what will happen only the rich 1% will be mostly the ones staking. And it will become similar to how wealth is distributed today. spot on , its the wave of the future though these big project owners hate the fact they have to rely on miners to secure things and the hate even more giving us what the feel are ‘free’ tokens, they totally forget we are destroying our hardware and living with mad noise and handling heat etc |

2 instances only works with amd 5000 series cpu  so you can only get the full use out of this card with 5000 series? how about 3900x and do you have proof |

brings back memories of asic group buys shows how dead 💀 mining is that we never see these anymore
this community used to have so good, we used to get deals on bulk orders of gpus , asics boards and everything buying in large groups

its outrageous how bad the stock is on the next gen 3x nvidia and 6x and even 5x amd is what the hell is going on its a month after release and still zero stock, i know covid and all but all this gear is made in asia which has pretty much beat covid |

does the straps command work for rx cards ? right now i have to ruin claymore and phoinex in tandem and i hate it.
claymore for straps and phoiniex cuz its more stable

* (Web UI) "Miner shutdown" button sometimes disappears
0.18.5
Bug fixes:
* (ethash) Miner reports absurdly high hashrate when switching coins on nicehash or similar pools
progpow-veil not working with new version |

Had a nice surprise this morning... opened my Metamask wallet (via Uniswap) and Uniswap gave me 400 UNI tokens.
Yes its pretty crazy how it just hit $5. So basically $2000 for free pretty much. Last night I was watching it on Binance and I assumed it would go at least under $1 since every few seconds you could see how every market sell order was for 400UNI, so pretty much people were rushing just to cash in on their air drop. This reminds me of Bitcoin Cash. Remember when it launched back in Aug 2017? At first it had a price of $300 or so and people were dumping it like crazy and saying "free money" and then all of a sudden 3-4 weeks later it pumped to like $900. A few months after that with the Coinbase listing it made it $3K (if I recall). So this UNI airdrop price action tells me that there is huge demand for UNI and might as well hold it for now. i missee out by two days on three wallets fml |

65%, 210W, 79.8 MH/s Thanks for the link, 2.6 watts per mhs is not bad. The 5700 does 58 mhs using 180 watts, 3.10 watts per mhs. The normal rx 570 does 30 mhs 130 watts, 4.3 watts per mhs. The radeon vii does the same hashrate and uses the same 210 watts, however i would still prefer the 3080, so, the 3080 is the winner because it would be used for everything, radeon vii only good for eth and few other algos. no the 5700 does 51 at 125-135 watts at wall on k-watt meter 2.45 watts to 2.64 watts a mh balls to the wall clocking at 180 watts to get 58mh is doable but not smart. the 3080 is almost exactly equal at the lower clock of 210 watts. it is around 2.44 watts So to me these cards are very close to the same in efficiency. i expect this which is why a bought a few end of life xt 5700, hash per what on eth will be the same and right now i only care about eth. Now progpow is a different story this 3080 should smash records on progpow. 40 or 50hms? vs 25 max on 5700xt |

Quick question on MSI rebates... their current August promotion reflects the following fine print:
"Limit one rebate card per product line per person, address, and household"
Am i right in assuming this means the following:
- If i buy 3 5700XT Mech GPUs, I will only be able to claim 1 $20 rebate
There's actually two different rebates. One is specifically only for newegg. The other one is for microcenter,bestbuy,frys and newegg. If you bought two cards from newegg, you could get two rebates, but if you bought it from some other place, then only one. but
- If i buy 1 5700XT Mech, 1 5700 (non XT) MEch, and 1 5700XT Gaming, I will be able to claim 3x $20 rebates?
Do i have that right?
Yes... all three, since the rebates are by upc codes and each product has a different upc. also the same thing from above applies, so potentially 6 rebates if you bought all from newegg.... potentially nah they never do that, they don’t care about upc codes , when you fill the rebate form you put your mail address, its as it says 1 per address |

Got paid 0.865eth today, sold all usdt to fiat today
7.5% to the whole investment profit, only in a week...
You started when eth was 360 usd, 30k upfront and it has been 14 days mining, you got 3.5k back so far? eth now is 440 usd, that is 80 usd more from when you started, 80 means 22%, meaning, if you have invested in coins you would have got a total of 22% of 30k which at moment would be 6600 usd, see, this is a good example that mining in a bullmarket is useless and some people think is good. Also many retailers and people increased the gpus prices due to high demand of idiots. This is going to be 2017-2018 all over, trolls never learn. hindsight backwards, at the time how could he know ether was going to $400, what he did know is what he could steadily earn via buying the cheap hardware. he could have grabbed 30k worth of eth and lost half in a dump to $150. He took the safe path nothing wrong with that |

dont buy that one , i bought 3 and sent them back, they ran hot and would not even mine sometimes past 50 mhs on stock get the MSI gaming x Yeah, this is the one i got from NewEgg a couple of days ago. It's still in the box since it's too hot here for me to turn on another rig. I was actually thinking about getting 1-2 more but seeing your comment, i will likely hold off until I can get this one up and running and see how bad it is. I guess if it is bad, it makes sense why really only this and an iffy ASRock 5700 are currently available through retailers. I'm really starting to track 5600 XT & 5700 XT closely now. Will be interesting to see what happens. funny thing is the asrock ones are great! only issue is the run a bit hotter , i flashed them with my xt 5700 modded bios , they are cheap and a good buy. I have four of them 55 mhs 110 watt. I bought two first and they worked well. I had 4 of those cheap msi and the rig crashed over and over could have been bad luck though. I think they use weaker memory than the micron stuff the asrock and msi gaming x use |

smartway is one of the ponzi contracts , I forgot the other one, seems people have caught on to the other one, its out of the top 3 gas burners, but smartway is still top 10. Seems also uniswap rose back up to #1 with chainlink coming up too so these high fees might be here to stay till the hype dies down or till uniswap and chainlink move thier fee settlement to layer two soloutions. Im sure the etherum team is begging them too, but this is a great redistribution of wealth to ailing miners.
2 yeara we have sufferered . and whats nice aboit fees is its not new issuance, its basically all from the whales who are making millions of the defi contracts

You are receiving a lot more than supposed to be, some people are complaining about ethermine not paying these profit from the fees. It seems your pool is paying it right. I mean that is a lot lot more, supposed to be around 0.55 right and you are getting around 0.8. You got 10% of your investment already, that is good to hear. As it stands eth is up more than 10% and if we think about, if you have invested in coins, those 10% would be there already for just today ehhe, Lets see how it goes.
10 percent rise will not make up for the double sized blocks from gas use. Right now blocks are full so the smallest block is like 3.5 eth , largest is like 8 , even when eth initially launched it was 5 eth plus uncles. Profits are basically double , just depends on how long it lasts but this OP will probably recoup all his investment in 50% of the original outlook if this holds, basically got lucky lol |

Lol no, no it isnt. That was a rhetorical question. Please check your stats over 24 hours with and without "dual" mining zil and compare $$ earnings. Even the 1-2 minutes your system spends mining Zil is not worth it, just mining Eth all the time WILL net you more $$. Not to mention the complexity and chances of failure it adds because of the constant switching.
I guess they will never learn, reminds me people using celeron with their gpus together and because the cpu was being used for mining, that lag between the cpu and gpus lowered the efficiency of the system as a whole and coin hashrate. In the end they were losing more than earning anything worth, trolls never learn. its of course not worth it if you stupidly sell your zil at the current price then of course lol , even then my average hash rate on nanopool it’s basically the same over a six hr period mining both. To each thier own and by the way there are proxy pools now that mine to your primary pool so there is no switching at all, Im passing on information and im troll a troll funny coming from the biggest troll agains mining on this board ok lol. I've seen you around enough to know that you know your shit  but wouldn't it be better to just mine Eth and buy the Zil if you really believe it will go up? Because at current rates its better to stick to Eth only. like he said below its merged mining, you don’t lose hashrate, basically the zill is just a bonus , some poola have double fees tho , i think zilpool does not. |
