Difficulty measures chain security, the higher the safer and better.
I'm not sure about this.
If 10 million video cards participate in the mining of a coin, and 55% of the hashrate belongs to one miner. Is this safe for you?
Difficulty shows only the arrival or departure of miners, and miners are interested in profit.

Yes but any coin is subject to this risk. However as the hashrate is much much higher it’s more expensive to attack and less common to happen.

It’s possible for someone to have 51% power but that is like what? 5 million GPUs? It would be very expensive to achieve this. So in general the higher the hashrate the better.
The purchase will be very expensive, and renting a hashrate for 1 hour is quite possible.

Even before the core developers met, they’d determined that Beacon Chain withdrawals, or EIP 4895, was definitely going to be part of the fork. This means that once Ethereum goes through its next upgrade, users that staked ether prior to the Merge by locking them up in the Beacon Chain smart contract will be able to access them, along with any additional accrued rewards.

By the end of this call, the timeline for Shanghai wasn’t any clearer. Some developers want to expedite Shanghai and include only the ETH withdrawal EIP along with a few other smaller EIPs, sometime in March 2023. Then, a subsequent fork would include another significant scaling upgrade – proto-danksharding – and would ship sometime during the fall of 2023.

https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2022/11/24/ethereum-developers-agree-on-what-could-be-included-in-the-next-upgrade-but-not-when/

For a coin that said it would be POS in Dec of 2017 and ended up going POS in Sept 2022 I think a very long wait is in store for all staked ETH.

I staked $300 worth on coinbase that is drawing a big 4%

So it is dropped in value to $234.87 including about $3 worth of interest.

It will continue to drift downwards as all the unstated coins are being slowly sold off into USD BTC LTC and DOGE.

Those staked coins help to anchor the price and slow the slide in value of the free eth coins that are being dumped as I type.

It is well worth it for me to have the $300 staked as it will give me rights to sue down the road.  Figure Dec 2023 to Feb 2024 for the crash to show better.

I say Jan 2025 will be when they 'free' the staked coins.

I think you are very pessimistic about your staked coins. Vitalik cannot delay the process for such a long time, so I believe that in the middle of 2024 the opportunity to withdraw coins will appear. But for $300, I wouldn't worry too much.
2143  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Evga 3080Ti XC3 Red Light Problem on: November 27, 2022, 12:05:13 PM
How could I learn which ones are fuse ?
If you don't know where the fuse is, then don't proceed with the repair. There may or may not be fuses, you need to look at the diagram. If there is no video card cdiagram, then you can check the resistance of each power circuit after the throttle for a short circuit.
This may be your mistake, or it may not be yours, but just a coincidence. You need the help of a good master and not advice on the forum.

2145  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Selling Rx580 8gb on: November 26, 2022, 04:34:53 PM
If the DAG file is less than 4 GB, then the RX 580 4 GB and RX 580 8 GB video cards give the same hashrate. Even Ethereum Classic can be mined until September 2025 on video cards with 4 GB of memory. Therefore, buying 4 GB video cards in the presence of very cheap electricity can quickly pay off if the price of Ethereum Classic increases several times.
2146  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Evga 3080Ti XC3 Red Light Problem on: November 26, 2022, 04:25:02 PM
After replacing the thermal paste and thermal pads in an unauthorized service, the RMA procedure in 99% does not work.
Using a multimeter, you need to check the fuses on the video card. Just because a fuse is bad doesn't mean it's the problem. You can solder a thin wire and test the video card, but usually the test of the video card is done using a laboratory power supply unit with a reduced current so as not to burn other elements in the event of a short circuit.

2148  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Is mining Profitable in 2022? on: November 25, 2022, 11:12:52 AM
Hi guys I was reading news that for the first time Bitcoin mining has not been profitable for the big miners who run millions of dollars of machines and that sucks to them. Cause they have very big expenses. So I was saying that it means that this morning for low budget miners will be total loss and a lot of hard work.
In my opinion that Ethereum mining is also not profitable.
I think the biggest expense for miners is electricity bills. If you have cheap electricity, then you will be successful miners. But in many European countries, contracts for the supply of electricity are terminated with miners. It is very important to find a place with cheap electricity and not be kicked out of there. And Ethereum forks are not profitable now.
2149  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: I want to actually mine Bitcoin (SHA256) on modern GPUs on: November 25, 2022, 11:07:06 AM
Hey guys!

I know this doesn't make sense but I'm hoping to mine Bitcoin on modern GPUs. I mean actually mining the SHA256 algo. I know you used to be able to do this with cgminer like 10 years ago, but I'm struggling to find anything that can do it on modern GPUs. I think it would make for a fun comparison of how far ASIC mining technology has come in a video on my Youtube channel.

If any of you guys have any tips for a mining software I could do this with I'd be very thankful! Basically any help I can get at all would be greatly appreciated. Smiley

Thank you so much!

Bitcoin mining on video cards is unprofitable, because one ASIC gives the performance of a thousand video cards.
Use the Nicehash service. The most profitable algorithm will be automatically selected for your video card, and you will receive a reward in bitcoins.

For this video card, coins on the Etchash algorithm give very little profit, perhaps you should take a closer look at the Kaspa (KAS) coin.
For the RTX 3060 12 Gb LHR video card, the new lol miner reduced power consumption by 30%.

And why now sell ethereum for 1100-1200 dollars? I have read that stakers can spend their rewards and the remaining coins will be available for withdrawal next year.You need to follow the results of testing the withdrawal of staked coins.
2152  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: KaspaMiner - A fast CPU/GPU miner for Kaspa on: November 25, 2022, 10:51:28 AM
I found on github the latest version v0.2.1-GPU-0.7 dated August 24th. Many competitors have upgraded their kaspa miners since then many times and have achieved a nice increase in hashrate and lower power consumption.
Is there a hashrate table for video cards?

2154  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: lolMiner 1.61: Significantly faster Flux mining on AMD and Nvidia on: November 24, 2022, 11:43:38 AM
lolMiner 1.63

Changes
Improved the Kaspa only mining performance on Nvidia Turing, Ampere and Ada GPUs by about 3.5%. (1)
Significantly improved the Kaspa only mining energy efficiency on Nvidia Turing, Ampere and Ada GPUs by 7-11% depending on the actual model.
Values given to --dualfactor parameter will now be value checked and rounded / capped to working values.
(1) Can be higher in case the card was power limited before.

Fixes
Fixed a bug causing the miner to show a crash message when lolMiner was ended via ctrl+c
Fixed a bug causing lolMiner not to start Kaspa mining on Nvidia GPUs when the Nvidia OpenCL installation on the system is broken.

2156  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CHANGING TERMAL PADS ON ASIC on: November 24, 2022, 11:35:15 AM
I must have spelled that sentence wrong.  originally not sure if it was thermal paste or pad.  i opted for the pads of similar thickness as what was left over but evidently it was pasta.  the pads when I mounted the heat sinks were pressed well but the result was bad, I even thought about putting 0.2 pads but I don't think it would solve it.
If the distance is 0.2-0.5 mm, then you can use thermal paste. For longer distances, probably thermal pads will be better. Dried thermal paste and thermal pads are different when viewed from the outside. I measure the thickness at the edge of the thermal pad, because the thermal pad is generally always larger than the chip size.
2157  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Selling Rx580 8gb on: November 24, 2022, 11:28:28 AM
Even if you sell video cards for $120, then the cost of shipping to other countries will greatly increase the cost of the video card. In local markets, you can find similar video cards for $100-120, and the wholesale price is even cheaper. But they pay off for a long time even with free electricity.

Withdrawal of staked ethereums is being tested
Ethereum developers launched a new devnet to test the unlocking of ether staked with validators.
The devnet prepares Ethereum client teams to open up validator staking withdrawals next year.

If you look at the graphs, then the hash rate has fallen for many coins. Industrial mining on video cards cannot be profitable now due to the many additional costs, but small miners who have no expenses other than paying for electricity continue their favorite pastime.

I don't think that difficulty is high for example for ETHW which is the coin by some unknown miners who decided to keep mining the Ethereum when it moved to PoS.It is just less than 300 T which can make you nice amount of this coin daily,almost half of these coin in two days when you have a near 400 Mhsh rig.For now may not be profitable but who knows at which levels this end in the future,so mining it for the longer term is easily doable for people who mine at home like me and many others.
Mining the ETHW coin is not profitable on most video cards, and on expensive video cards the payback is so long that such investments are not interesting for many miners. Today it is more profitable and easier to buy these coins for 500-1000 dollars than to pay for electricity in the next 2 years.
