Really, I even dont realize that Decred was already mined by Asic miner. I heard that LBC (LBRY Credits) is going to be mined by Asic miner (or even somebody already mined it with asic miners), then I stopped dual mine ETH + LBC, and it's funny that I have just had checks, some of my rigs still were configured to dual mine ETH + DCR (LBC, and Sia).

I still keep mining ETH and Monero. Monero already had a fork, hopefully Ethereum will have some move on asic resistance. As far as I know, Ethereum Improvement Proposal 958 (EIP 958) was already submitted and included on the agenda on the lastest meeting of Ethereum development team to spark a discussion about the prudence of rendering Bitmain asic miners with the first Antminer E3. But the first batch of Antminer E3 already sold out, so it seems like ít demand is too big.

I tried many tests with this dedicated mainboard. But it seems like we could not go over 13 AMD GPUs. All of successful attempts which built 19 or even 21 GPUs on this mainboard were the tests with Nvidia P106-100 GPUs. I ever done a test with 16 P106-100 GPUs, it's quite easy and no need any special setup, just increase virtual memory (I set it 16 Gb) and use a core i3 cpu, 8 Gb RAM, could work both in Window 10 Fall Creator version 1709 and Ubuntu.

My greatest mining moment is last September. At that time, I thought I have been mining ETH for a while, so I should try something different, and I spent almost 3 days to search for at least 2 other altcoins to mine for 2 weeks. And luckily I picked the right coins: Feather coin - an old man in crypto, and XZC, both of these 2 coins have very low difficulty that time. I just mined them in 2 weeks (maybe 16 days) but the profit's quite a lot compared to mine ETH. Also, last september, my favorite Burst coin returned from death.

I have just invested a bit on Swapy Network ICO. This project looks really promising, with experienced team and advised by two big names: Tim Draper and Don Tapscott, and has Partnership with Havven. Hopefully Swapy could promote the establishment of a Circular Economy on the network where new entrants can offer their services and products on the network and also take a market based approach to mitigate the cost while enhance the data privacy.

I have been testing the shipment of P102-100 GPU's we recently received, here are the results for our 16 x P102-100 GPU mining system:
ETH - Total Speed: 796.881 Mh/s, Total Shares: 48(3+3+0+5+3+5+2+0+4+4+1+5+4+1+4+4), Rejected: 0(0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0), Time: 00:04 ETH: GPU0 50.649 Mh/s, GPU1 49.744 Mh/s, GPU2 50.086 Mh/s, GPU3 49.684 Mh/s, GPU4 50.027 Mh/s, GPU5 50.145 Mh/s, GPU6 49.682 Mh/s, GPU7 50.243 Mh/s, GPU8 49.840 Mh/s, GPU9 50.127 Mh/s, GPU10 47.945 Mh/s, GPU11 50.010 Mh/s, GPU12 50.221 Mh/s, GPU13 50.104 Mh/s, GPU14 48.273 Mh/s, GPU15 50.100 Mh/s
OS: EthOS 1.3.1 Miner: Claymore 11.6
Finally we get those information, I also guessed its hashrate should be about 50 mh/s. Btw, have you tested it with other algo, for example mining Monero? One month ago 775$ per card is a good deal, but now it's hard to say as Bitmain's going to release asics miner E3. Even me, I'm going to switch all of my Rx580 rigs to mine Monero in next month. Claymore already added new string for Monero hard fork. Hopefully Ethereum will have some move on it.

you better apply directly to a GPU manufacturing company .. if you buy an individual meal his process will be long and his price is much more expensive
Manufacturers only have a talk with you if your deal value is 10 x mil, and of course even you have money, it's not that easy to start a deal with them. I think finding a big local distributor is a good choice. For my team, we have a big group buy, before we always got GPUs from him at the very first batch, typically 70-80 GPUs per week. But to be honest, we stop every deal now to get more information from Ethereum team after Bitmain released E3 asic miner.

No matter mining Zcash by using asic miners or GPU miner, their team still get 20% block reward, I think that's why they dont care about it.

So many cheap used GPUs! Used RX 580 and GTX 1060 at under $100?!
So. Is mining dying now?
1060s and 580s under $100? Can you link this to me? I would BUY these without thinking twice. What you've got to understand that people are panicking but they are doing it for the wrong reasons. People are selling because their DAILY income crashed. However, they fail to see that mining is not about your DAILY profit. It's a long term game that requires patience, research, and timing. You can profit by mining shitcoins then sell during pumps or you can mine the most profitable coin, sell, then buy potential winner coins. Noobs panic and sell. Be smarter and hodl. The GPU's price in my place still keep the same, even some 1070 Ti getting more expensive. For me, I will not surging to buy Asic miner E3, as Bitmain srewed us on monero mining, if Ethereum has fork, investing into E3 asic miner may turn to a bad deal. And the weird thing is in Chinese site of Bitmain, they also sold gpu miner just by the time they announced about this E3, whatever it seems like the very first batch of E3 already sold out, regardless, the E3 miner is likely to be popular. Hope that Ethereum development team will have some action: https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/958

Your idea is quite good, but I think 20' fan if it's medium-high speed fan, the hot air will come and accumulate in top very fast rather than flow out though your two vents. The possible solution is you bound it like this which is quite simple and effective. Also I wonder how's about intake air? Your rigs are open air or closed box? I would like to send an example of vent design which was already discussed in forum: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FSr2Fa9Z.jpg&t=663&c=rkKSL903cTx6dg) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fp3dj2dj.jpg&t=663&c=-Fkw8QWY4CkZ9A)
