I know those talks here are being about FPGA having them at home running and configured.
But does somebody have already looked into the possibilities of Amazon EC2-F1 instances? They are also providing FPGA in their datacenters (1 instance consists of 8 pieces of 16 nm Xilinx UltraScale Plus FPGA's).
As you can build images and re-deploy on any other FPGA i was wondering that might be in interest somehow? I just wanted to bring that up as another opporunity which might be in interest.
I would definitely try that out - if i understand this might be possible to run "off-shore" rather than home but still having dedicated hardware. Therefore i would be in a need of understanding if all the work being done here is also able being used and replicated in the Amazon Cloud/Datacenter. (especially the bitstreams/firmware)
Let me know your thoughts.
Cheers,
Start with page one. |

The OP shut it down and I added MORE gpu's, One of us screwed up...and it aint me.  What is the price of your electricity? 4.8 cents /kwh Mine is double what his is ... I never shut anything down. If the OP was paying 25+ cents per kwh, then I can see why he decided to get out. Shutting rigs down isn't the right thing to do though. Either keep them running or sell them. Shutting them down and letting them sit is one of the worst ideas. |

Mining is still doing pretty well by me.
Counting absolute total cost of investment -- Computers, video cards, risers, electrical wiring, shelving, rooms fans, etc (literally everything I have bought for mining)... still getting 1/300th of total investment per day at todays prices. So in general forum terms less than 1-year ROI.
I got back in to mining about 15 months ago and have slowly built it all up so most of the stuff I have is actually already paid off... just looking at total cost / income as of today for the previous sentence.
If we see a bit of a bull market and things I am holding go back up a bit then it'll look even better.
I think if you are doing well, that is because you have cheap electricity price. What do you consider cheap electricity? Mine is 0.10 kwh and I was doing well even at lowest daily profitability this year. Reason being, I don't sell coins daily or weekly or monthly. The amount of coin my hardware mines only changes when new hash power is introduced to the network and difficulty increases. |

Hopefully OP didn't overpay for the ti and is doing due diligence when selecting coin to mine as barely making a dollar a day seems to be on the very rather low end.
Even pointing it to nicehash would bring him more then 1$ per day so its not that hard for now,long are gone days with 20$ per card without having to look thru coins what to mine.There are still coins that brings solid profits mining them but now you need to invest time to find them You mean mining and dumping shitcoins. If you consider all coins other than btc, eth, and ltc a shitcoin, then yes, exactly! |

Simply create a LLC. Expense all of your electricity and hardware.
Continue to mine, save up as many coins as you can knowing that you will have to pay your taxes on what you mine and when you sell.
However it is still easy to mine and make money.
It isn't necessary to create a LLC to deduct your electrical, internet connection, dedicated mining room square footage, hardware costs, and any other costs associated with mining. In the United States, it's done on a 1040 Schedule C. |

It is a great leap for bitcoin because , we are all business here ,if that is the case that pornhub will really accept payments of bitcoin then it will add or boost the stability of bitcoin in the market for it adds another customers which the cryptocurrency are been use.
They never once said they were going to accept btc. I think you are confused. |

Bitcoin is mostly down durjng the past few days and it approaching the $7k. Recent negative events might halted the price to go up further. Maybe some positive surprises might happen this summer and the awaited bullrun may finally start before last quarter of this year. The concensus meeting failed to boost the price of the bitcoin unlike last year and the repeating of a history did not happen.
Well at least the last sentence of your post is correct.  |

The lowest levels in Bitcoin this year were seen approximately 3 weeks back. Bitcoin at that point in time was trading around $ 5500. Ever since then it has almost doubled in value to reach around $ 11500. In the last 48 hours however it has fallen back to around $ 10200. In spite of that many of the experts think that this is actually not a bubble and it would raise even more.
Where you get your numbers is fucking beyond me ... Lol ... Probably should stop reading bullshit articles and start looking at reliable historic charts. Jesus Christ! |

Lol ... I'm surprised anyone is fucking with this, to be honest.

Thanks! I'll give those filters a shot. Seems like they may be better for dust and that is my main issue right now. Washable is a huge plus. I don't want to have to be buying filters all of the time. |

Another question for you ... The stuff that is labeled "pre-filter" isn't washable, is that correct? I'm finding different companies that sell activated carbon filter rolls, but they all say "pre-filter" and none say they are washable.
pre-filter label doesn't define if they are washable or no as far as I know, activated carbon foam is washable, those white filters aren't, you can even feel the fabric in your hands. Carbon foam is like kitchen sponge and white pre-filter is like wool fabric, if you wash it it will fall apart you can use those, they are washable and can last long, but keep in mind that they are for large particles, in fact they are great for ASICs at least for my environment. Also very important to keep an eye on pressure, you should balance intake and outtake of air with filters, you should get positive airflow. So I tried some of those activated carbon filters on my intake fan over the past few days. I'm still getting dust/dirt build up on surfaces. I have a coupe of tables in that room that I cleaned on the day that I installed the filter. Now this makes better sense, if you're saying they are for large particles. The window I use for intake has a screen in it, so it's stopping large particles, but I'm guessing activated carbon stops large smaller particles than what you are talking about. Another note ... I ran that intake ran unfiltered in the winter and didn't bring in the dust/dirt, that I'm talking about. And another note ... Unfiltered, that intake fan pulls in air that you can feel with force while stand in front of it, without the exhaust fan running. Filtered with activated carbon, you can't feel any air coming in, if the exhaust fan is turned off. Only when the exhaust is turned on, you can feel the air coming in. This leads to my next question ... Are intake fans really necessary, if you have proper exhaust? Seems like intake holes with filters should be good enough, because the exhaust fans are doing the work for the intake. |

I complete 12 months of mining this month. After several months of trying out different coins and trading, I have come to conclusion that point all miners to supportxmr and hold all your monero and live a peaceful life.  Yes, it is profitable but I never sold any mined coins so it is all paper money  To support XMR?? I've heard some mention it to be a good cryptocurrency. Can you expand on why you would point miners to support XMR? Do you mine XMR? CPU and GPU? Support XMR is a XMR pool. GPU mine it with AMD hardware. |

GPU miners are like the banks and corps that need govt bailout because their business model is trash whine whine welfare, protect only my marxist interests and block others from joining the markets.. Lol ... You have no concept of what decentralization means. |
|
|

At least GPUs can change algorithms to mine other coins. ASIC miners will be left in the dust when/if equihash becomes resistant. Are you even thinking of the reallocation of gpu hashrate if very little of equihash forks? Ethash POS is another big scare. Who knows when that will ever happen though. |
