With GPU's mining dieing out fast now I wondered what other use cases the device has. Here are 6 that came to mind 1. Gaming. Local and streaming, www.vectordash.com 2. Rendering. Content creations. Images, Movies (Blender) www.golem.network/rendering/3. Crypto Mining. Ect... 4. Machine Learning. www.vast.ai5. Encryptions. Password cracking 6. Data processing 7. Heating while altruistic uses, fold@home and SETI@home Any thing I missed? |

The only thing GPU's had was its ability to mine different alt coins. As GPU's and FPGA's are now on 7nm there is very little advantage for GPU left. One gets multi-algorithm ASIC already so I don't see any hope for GPU's. Even the holy grail ProgPow which is designed to work specifically on GPU's and utilizes all of its functions can have an ASIC that is x1.5 more efficient. Think, ProgPow-ASIC Farm with low-cost power will, therefore, beat any home miner with GPU's. We are just back where we started.

So let say you have 20A CB limit and the office is paying $0.19/kw(Inc VAT) or £0.13 ex VAT. if you play it right you can use 18A at 230V. That is 4140W or 4.14 Kw continually. Or £0.646/h.
So it will cost them £465pm. The nice thing about GPU rigs are they can be silent compared to an ASIC that screams. 7 rigs with x 6 GPU each. (600w at the wall each)
But then you will need to fork out about £1000 per rig give or take. That is a lot of money that you are putting up with the risk of getting caught and having it impounded. And most likely you will not get £465pm from that setup. If you are lucky that will net you half of your rent in mining income.

Lots of pl are falling for this kind of scam. Im usually very curious to find out where the scam part is. I have a dedicated scam email address and use a random suggested password.
Another form of this scam is if someone ask you for "help", There account was locked for external withdrawals but they can transfer to other user accounts. I followed the instructions to find out where they will try to scam me. a standard thing of opening up a virtual box with a clean browser. Turned out to be the same type of scam where at some point the website requires you to "Activate" your account with a deposit.

ttps://i.imgur.com/54l3eFY.jpg bad idea linking between PSU's. Riser and GPU's PCE power needs to come from the same PSU. don't mix

If you go GPU's just point them to Nicehash. 1060's 6gb's or R470 8gb. They can mine 95% of all minable coins and like it was said before. Cheap as durt. But remember your landlord most likely will realize something is up at some stage so you might end up paying for past power or face criminal charges for stealing.

I see that FTC net has is about 7GH/s but yet I can't seem to find any pool that has more hash rate than Miningpoolhub at a mear 150mhs. Is the rest all on a Private pool with private hardware?

what is dominating feather coins network? My GPu's did so well on Neo last year this time but now it is almost not even in the profitability list.

Claymore found away to do the strap optimizeing for nvidia also. I get a nice 10% boost in ethereum hashrate on my 1070s with the same power usage. I was hoping there is a way to do this for other algorithms and miners. Yes I know amd does it but I don't have amd any more

Claymore 14.x has an way to modify the 10xx gpus
“ in Supports applying optimized memory timings (straps) on-the-fly in Windows, without flashing VBIOS (currently Polaris, Vega, Nvidia 10xx cards only), up to 20% speedup. Best straps for Ethereum are included.“
Any way to do that without mining etherum? Like the Enlargement Pill for 1080ti

CONSTRUCTIVE COMMENTS ONLY
Im not talking about just mining with it. I am realy asking for suggestions of how to apply $2000 AWS Credits that is worth investigating.

I don't think Linzhi stand a chance. AMD and Nvida are on the cutting edge making a computation device and if ProgPow is so well matched it is highly unlikely that Linzhi will be able out to perform them. look how long it took to get an eth asic out and it does not do so well against GPUs' just cheaper to buy and easier to setup but when it come sot compute power vs power it is on par.
|
|

if Linzhi manages to make a ProgPow ASIC then they will effectively go up against AMD and Nvidia with a GPU. I do hope they make an asic and release some driver for it so that there is a 3rd player in the GPU market.

Ironic due to this all altcoins are very much linked to BTC.
This need to change at some point.
