First time I see these photos. I am guessing this is not recent but when China banned mining a year back or so. Pretty sure most of those are not current gen GPUs. Looks like some old RX 470 GPUs there.
In the first photo. What is he doing exactly? Looks like he is selling the GPUs on the streets. Because it’s a weird spot to be building rigs or packaging them up.
There are a lot of sales of old video cards like RX 470 in China. They change the cooling system and do repairs if necessary. The video card looks like new, there are a lot of offers on aliexpress. Videocards sales by the kilos  A lot of old video cards are not profitable now, so if people buy it, then this is a good opportunity to get rid of old GPUs. |

Pretty sure Nanominer works on Intel gpus.
I haven't tested, but my 5600 xt is mining ethereum forks with 38-42 megahash hashrate and consumption of 82-95 watts respectively depending on memory and overclocking. These graphics cards can be bought for $200 in good condition. Therefore, for Ethereum forks, it is better not to buy new video cards. |

In a bear market, the worst algorithm anyone can mine are those that consume lots of power for example kawpow algorithm, since this same algorithm is what ravencoin is currently using I have to warn you, do not mine ravencoin, mine Flux or other.
This is already a question for the mining calculator. On cold video cards, you can mine any coin, on hot video cards you will need closed cases with additional cooling. But winter is coming and an open window is enough to cool 5-10 mining farms, so you can mine the most profitable coin. |

A beginner needs to get acquainted with Chinese miners.   Video cards can be installed in a closed case and most people will not even guess that this is cryptocurrency mining equipment. And if you use not very hot video cards, then the noise will be minimal. |

For a long time I have had a universal device for all cases, this is a smart Wi-Fi socket. The socket costs 10-15 dollars, it is very easy to set up and allows you to turn on, turn off and restart the mining farm using your mobile phone. I didn't use watchdogs.

This is the official xmrig benchmark site, all tests there are done online and validated on the server. What you see in the table at the top is an overclocked and highly tuned CPU (i.e. consider it competitive benchmarking), probably water cooled and with tweaked memory. 18-19 kh/s for 5950X is actually low, it can easily do 20-21 kh/s with just a bit of tuning. Do you consider the AMD CPU Ryzen 7 5800X3D hashrate of 17.75 kH/s as listed on nicehash.com to be fake? I don't have a chance to check because I think CPU mining is pointless at the moment. And one processor needs a lot of hardware. |

I have a basic understanding of what a crypto winter is. I've also heard that every crypto winter cycle is followed by a rally. Can someone explain what it is and how it can be used to determine the best time to buy miners?
Asics are still very expensive, and the network hashrate is still growing https://www.nicehash.com/countdown/BTC-halving-2024-05-10-12:00There is not much time left before the halving, if we assume that now the cost of mining 1 bitcoin is 15,000 dollars, then in 18 months the cost of bitcoin mining will increase by 2 times. And the price of electricity is constantly rising. I think that ASIC investment is not the best solution for small miners. |

In my opinion it's worth to invest in mining equipment as long as you have access to cheap electricity, otherwise it's better to invest in different tokens or stake smth.
Stake coins are mostly not worth investing they are slowly dying after they are listed. Also, tokens are not a good option it would be safe if you can buy BTC or like dogecoin or any altcoin that has the potential to increase in value after the block halving. Mining is optional if you have cheap power or free power and then it will give you more profit if you hold them until the day when the price reaches new ATH it always happens every block halving. Have you tried calculating profit? https://www.asicminervalue.com/miners/bitmain/antminer-s19-hydro-158thWith free electricity, this ASIC will give a profit of $ 12 per day or pay off in more than 2 years, because the hashrate is growing. The cost of bitcoin mining is rumored to be from 14 to 20 thousand dollars. Is it better to buy bitcoin now? |

What do you think about LTC? Will it die soon? Or will it last? Do you think it'll go sky-high sometime in the future? If not, why? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.  ASICs are used to mine Litecoin. And it would be nice to change the mining algorithm to a more ASIC-resistant one and adapt the coin for miners on video cards. Then perhaps most miners will be interested in this coin. |

hnt miner
5 watts (lets say 10 for shits n giggles)
cost $150
earns ~$0.25-$1.00
uses $0.03-$0.05 in power @12c kwh
Profits $0.20-$1.50 a day now (@30'+ elevation)
I think that this is not mining, but a fee for installing equipment. Profits $0.20-$1.50, why such a big difference in profit? If 1.5 dollars, then I would run to buy this equipment, but it seems to me that there is no such good profit in this project. |

Intel Arc A750 and its approximate hashrate I looked at the info from a foreign friend (approximate consumption) ETC 50 Mh/s - 190 W 48 Mh/s - 116 W He did not test on other algos ... as I understand it ... there are no miners under Intel ...  https://t.me/koliamainer/8315 |

Easiest way to do your portable miner is just to buy an ASIC. However you will need an Ethernet cable to plug it in for internet and that’s it. Very portable. Just a small box with a PSU connected to it.
Could the Internet come from 5g/4g? What are likely returns per day if its running say 4 hours a day? I'm self employed but rent an office that I get access to at a cost per use, and it comes with bills all included for that short time I use it, so want to make the most of my time renting that space. Set the lowest electricity tariff and divide the profit by 6. Do not forget about the criminal liability for the theft of electricity. More powerful asics will require wiring upgrades if the sockets in that place are not equipped for powerful devices https://www.asicminervalue.com/ |

Did someone know what is the motherboard requirement for the GPU to work? I mean I tried it on older H61 and H81 Pro Btc motherboards but it didn't work. On AMD B450 it is working perfectly.
Have you tried mining with RTX 4090 graphics card on H61 and H81 Pro Btc motherboard? If you connect this video card to the 16x port, then there should be no problems. I have no data on how this video card works through the raisers. But the payback period of this video card now is - never. It is on the x16 slot but it is not recognized by the motherboard, I don't know why. When you did get it working on the AMD B450 motherboard, what was your take on the temperature and noise of the fan. I’ve read on these forums that people are having problems with them overheating a great deal but I haven’t seen enough people comment their experiences to know if these cards are something that should be avoided due to heat issues.
The temperatures are okay, you can check on my videos mining different algos: RTX 4090 Hashrates Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=561nJJrl2Xk&list=PL0X8pLdX8UE6dOZrgrUk9bV3YOAKk9HKI&index=1Nice video. I gave you some merits 125 megahash at 292 watts. This video card looks very bad for the ethash algorithm now. I saw forecasts that this video card will later be overclocked to 160 megahash. For this video card, you need to come up with a new coin on a more adapted algorithm for core performance. |

Hello guys,
I'm new here and plan to start crypto mining at home. But I'm confused with the types of gpus. My budget is 7k-8k.
I want to start from mining ETH/ETC. Anyone can give me any advice?
Learn to use calculators https://woolypooly.com/en/calc/what-to-mine-gpu https://2cryptocalc.com/https://hashrate.no How much do you pay for electricity? If you pay more than 6 cents, then buy better coins with your money. 5600 xt mines the ethаsh algorithm well and these video cards can be bought inexpensively from miners. They do not heat up and work stably, unlike 5700 xt. |

Recently stop mining because is no longer profitable and came back here and maybe there is a new mineable coins are profitable to mine with nVidia GPU's?
ETH is already removed from the list because it's switching to POS.
Do you recommend any for 0.17kw/h electricity cost?
At that energy price which ever coin you choose to mine you will be in negative.The only reason to mine with that electricity cost is to believe in the future,I am doing so as I am mining now some coins not normally mineable but I use the unmineable miner,I am mining a lot of SHIBA INU per day,sometimes I switch to Litecoin depending on my needs,I don't expect any return now,I prefer to mine the coin for the next bull run and I don't like spending money to buy the coins,I prefer to pay the energy bill and get several coins of low value mostly and hope for the best. If you are obsessed with ETH moving from PoS,there is good news,ETHW (Eth Pow) is still continuing and it is very low in price but also low in difficulty meaning you can accumulate much of this coin if you believe in this road by mining it. You are mining Shiba inu at a big loss, I suspect you are using unminable platform right? That website will suck your profit up, if you can do some calculations you will see that mining CuckooCycle (Aeternity) is more profitable, swap your AE to Shiba inu you will end up with more pieces of the token. I think he is talking about mining on ASICs, and not about mining on video cards. |

Check out this guide How to Mine on RaveOS: Detailed Guide and Mining Setup https://2miners.com/blog/how-to-mine-on-raveos-detailed-guide-and-mining-setup/Raveos is a very easy system to set up. I connect the monitor and see how the miner works. Common reasons for a reboot would be overclocking or low power limit. First, start the system on default settings. If you have not done maintenance, then clean all the raisers and contacts of the video card. |

hard to mine with profit like ETH (before merge)
i think miner have 2 choices if you electricity not free or very low
1.sell gpu and keep that money(or buy some coin you like)
2.mine with loss pay electricity bill hope you coin price will go up like ETH and wait for next bull run
Have you tried to sell the video card now? The price will be so low that it makes no sense. It is better to save the video card until the next mining season. Why mine at a loss if you can buy cryptocurrency with this money and not turn on video cards? yes i sell my 3070 gpu i buy form dec2020-feb2021 to gamer i buy around 549 usd and sell it around 300 usd and keep this money for buy new card with new 3 year warranty or buy some coin because i think when new rtx card 4070-4080 coming and mining not profit yet it hard to sell in this price this is only my opinion i know if other buy card in this year don't think like this because gpu price is skyrocket to the moon RTX 3070 is an excellent video card that has shown itself very well in mining. RTX 4090 has a lot of problems with the power connector, 3070 and above have memory overheating. Nothing is known about the RTX 4070 and 4080, perhaps these will not be the most successful video cards for mining. If there is a new mining season, then I will turn on the mining farm with Rx 480 and Gtx 1070 |
