How the Merge will Change Ether’s Supply-Demand Dynamics as Miners Get Phased Out The cryptocurrency community has continued to root for a successful Merge, with exchanges already opting for the PoS network post-merge. OpenSea, Coinbase, Binance, Circle, and Tether have all announced they plan to support ETH 2.0. Consequently, the support for the PoS ETH has raised concerns that the ETH PoW may not be successful in the long run.https://tokenist.com/how-the-merge-will-change-ethers-supply-demand-dynamics-as-miners-get-phased-out/ |

Did you find the cause of the breakdown?
Even if your power supplies are original, they may be after poor-quality repairs. Transistors overheat and cause damage.
Will the seller refund you this time or blame you for the breakdown?
Maybe buy more proven ASICs?

lolMiner 1.55a https://github.com/Lolliedieb/lolMiner-releases/releases/tag/1.55be sure to check all links with 1 post Changes Significantly improved Flux mining performance on AMD RX 5000 (+10% on 5700) and AMD RX 6000 based GPUs (+15-22%)
Mining Flux, Beam, Equihash 144/5 and Equihash 192/7 will now display the iteration/s (it / s) for easier OC tuning and the pool sol/s calculated from submitted and accepted shares.
Flux mining can now be selected via --algo FLUX without needing to specify --pers.
Enabling Equihash 144/5 and Equihash 192/7 will now also support --pers auto instead of capital --pers AUTO for enabling pool automatic selection.
Added DAG check and repair function for Ethereum Classic mining up to epoch 300
Added ETH / ETC + Kaspa code for Nvidia Pascal based GPUs.
Added option to mix different Ethash style algorithms when using the fail-over pool function. |

I've never look into asic miners for once but last night I spent some time trying to compare why Asic could be a better option than a rig, I see that I can mine Doge coin instead of BTC so I just want to hear some opinions from long time crypto miners on here, what could make an Asic miner a better option than a mining rig. I kinda like this Goldshell mini - doge asic, any users on here?  If there are better ones can you drop names? Thank you I did not find this ASIC on the official website https://www.goldshell.com/shop/Litecoin and Dodge have a lot of ASICs, if you want to mine these coins, then you must have cheap electricity. And an important technical point is that there should be a service for these ASICs in your city, or nearby. Otherwise, in the event of a breakdown, you will have losses. |

$0.11 USD will be a very expensive electricity bill for you after Ethereum mining ends. There are no new coins, and low profit will probably discourage you from mining. With such conditions, it might be worth considering selling at least one mining farm.

Hello guys, I recently shifted to trex miner and i am getting this error. "Can't find nonce with device [ID=1, GPU #1], GPU #1: not enough free memory to mine ethash at epoch 515." I am mining on ASUS Turbo 3080 10 gb model. I am not getting what's the problem. Please help me.
Motherboard: Asrock B450 Steel legend
CPU: Ryzen 9 5950x (for cpu mining)
Ram: 16gb
OS: Hive
Storage: 120GB
Download the latest version of hive os. Try using a different miner. Ask a question in these threads https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5405131First you need to update the operating system for mining and change the miner to make sure that this is not a software error. Do you have one video card or several? |

What makes slotted motherboards better than those with riser ports only? I think it's not about the performance but the less tweaking headache that risers gives users compare to slotted motherboard, or there is more that I don't know? I will like to learn.
You're right it's not about performance, it's about convenience and personal preference. A riserless motherboard, by definition, doesn't use risers so there are fewer potential points of failure. On the other hand the slot spacing is fixed so you can't adjust for different card widths. PS. new motherboards seem to have traded in PCIe slots for more m.2, so m.2 to 4x PCIe/USB splitters are going to become popular for mining. USB connector but PCIe protocol, of course. I have too many failure with risers in a week, one gpu will become invisible in hiveOS after two days of mining none stop, I am getting tired of risers and I have make up my mind to upgrade to riserless motherboard. Your problem is with the raiser supplier, not the raisers. The raiser is not such a complex detail that it has many problems. Raisers with regular motherboards are cheaper than dedicated mining motherboards without raisers. And for premium boards without raisers, expensive cases are needed. |

I've searched around and everything seems to be 2020 or earlier. I have come across a few sources here and there, but does anybody have information on how to build a rig and calculate mining ROI for Monero?
Any help appreciated. I'd like to get some estimates on hashrate and power consumption as well and am not coming across it.
thanks

Are Vega cards still available in the market today? I can't even find one in China right now, they have been sold out both new and used, only a old time miner can sell you a rc vega 56 right now, if I knew that they cards are good for Autolykos algo I wouldn't have sold mine.
These graphics cards will sell, but I haven't seen many for sale. Over the past 5 years, many video cards have broken down, some have problems with overclocking. Therefore, for a beginner in about a month, there will be many other cheap alternatives on the market to buy. I can't wait to buy cards again for 60-80 USD for the Rx 570,I will buy them at such price and even mine at a loss because of energy consumption,I will do so because I am extremely confident in a huge rebound of cryptos now that almost everyone does not expect such thing to happen. I would suggest you do the same wait for at least 3 other weeks and build a rig with the cheapest possible cost,do so early as price of cards may rebound as soon as we see crypto prices going up again.It is going to be one hell of a September,why not that of 2017 which brought the first all time high for us in December but the price increase started in that September. For 60-70 dollars you will buy video cards with non-working copper tubes of the cooling system and fans that need to be replaced. Broken fans are not so bad and can be easily replaced with cheap 80x80 fans from the store. But these graphics cards have problems with copper tubes when gas comes out. Such video cards work for me at a temperature of 90 degrees in the summer. In winter, the situation is better, but I don’t want to buy this anymore. |

I had a few of the 390 and many of the r9 290. The only way how to make it efficient you need to undervolt it to the max, I forgot how low I set the voltage and you need to underclock it so low that it'll hash at like 20-22mh/s or something. By doing so it'll be efficient however VERY slow.
However the GPU will run cool and if you got the reference models you can use it in your room and it won't be loud as a vacuum. However keep in mind this is a GPU that came out in late 2013, so its almost a decade old. It will never be as efficient as some of the GPU cards of today.
It is built like a tank however. They will never die. Unlike the Vega or Fury GPUs from the day.
Great, when I had these video cards, there were no firmware for the BIOS. After I sold these video cards, bios modification appeared. If it is possible to get 20 megahash by consuming 150 watts, then this is also very bad. Probably better to buy a 1060 6 GB video card, which will give 23 megahash at 90 watts and it will be much younger. |

I bought some rx580 graphic cards from China for 120$ each and I successfully build my first rig, thanks to YouTube video it's not that hard like I've imagined, after placing the order my mind is plagued with thoughts of messing things up  The only issue I am having now is the hashrate number, I am getting 27MH from the graphic cards each and a friend rx580 rig is getting 31MH, any ideas of what I can do next? I am running HiveOS. I like the rig it will cool well. How are the temps? Do you stay at a good number for the cards. What is the psu? Could you screen shot hiveOS so we can see readout. Can you show the mobo and psu. Lastly how are you cooling room 8 cards are close to 1200 watts the room must be pretty warm. 1) My Temp never exceed 60°C in a very hot weather, I placed the mining rig very close to my window and there are trees in my compound with cool breeze doing it's thing. I have also managed to get 29MH+ after few trials.  2) I am using a B250 motherboard and a Daylead 1600 watt PSU The temp isn't bad at all as there is good breeze in my compound, it do seize here and there but it helps and I make sure the rig is set close to window, no problem so far.  Good settings and you're lucky with your memory. Memory can be increased to 2150-2200, but this may affect the stability of the work. If the mining farm is stable, then I would not change anything. Some miners increase the memory to 2250 and get almost 32 megahash, but this is probably just for showing off. There will be no stability with these settings. |

The only thing that makes a graphic card outdated is lesser VRAM, if you can say that RX580 8gb are no more a good choice for mining what about GTX 1070 and 1080? To me they are in same category, they are old but still works because they have 8GB memory, that's all that matters, if you can pay the bills for power consumption then you are not on a wrong path.
You are wrong, less vram is just a part, high electricity consumption takes over profits faster than Vram, there are old graphic cards with 8gb Vram today but they are bad for crypto mining because of power consumption, you will use the whole profit to pay for electricity bills. It depends on the cost of electricity in your country. If you have such prices, then you have a great advantage. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5411174.msg60834095#msg60834095You need to have experience to buy good 5 year old graphics cards after mining. For 5 years, my 1070 and 1080 graphics cards have given me no problems. 3060 and other video cards have a lot of negative reviews due to memory |

100$ per rx580 is the minimal expectation and yes this is still a good investment if only the next Ethereum fork is going to be successful and profitable for miners, also you need to have free electricity to run this old bad boys, I am not ready to take the chances so my target is those 6600XT AMD cards, I hope I can get those for 180$ each.
Of course, it is better to buy AMD 6600XT for $180 instead of rx580 video cards, because you can install 2 times more video cards for the same power consumption. But I see the problem with the price. In my country, these video cards cost more than $350 and so far the prices are not falling. The same where I am because that card 6600 XT is very good for gaming also and it has value even for other uses except mining.Gamers now are not a problem as they have tons and I mean tons of options to play their games,so they are not a burden on the miners anymore.We have just to wait to see what will happen after the ETH merge and moves to PoS and I think a couple of days or maximum couple of weeks after that is the best time to stock up video cards with ridiculous cheap prices. Right now ETC is taking the lead from many people who have switched to it,its difficulty got from 300 T levels before news of ETH PoS to over 600 T now,a double increase. Now profit on ethereum classic 20 cents Rx 580 120 watts, 5 cents per kilowatt or profit 29 cents 6600 XT 60 watts, 5 cents per kilowatt Not even all miners pay 5 cents here, for many, energy is much more expensive. In a few weeks, the profit will drop very much on video cards on this coin due to the arrival of ASICs. |

I have a mining rig with 8 graphic cards that I build in December of 2021 and I have made most money back but now that almost all the good altcoins have lost high amount of value I feel like selling my rig and buy coins but.....
I look at the long term, if I use the money and buy coins, let say I have 5 different coins in a wallet, that's going to be it, but if I keep my rig I can keep accumulating coins that I want for like forever, till mining is dead.
One thing strikes my mind again, bear market don't stay for long, highest is 2 years, so what is the right state of mind for you.
If you do not need money, if the mining farm does not cause problems and you can pay for electricity without problems for your budget, then continue to mine cryptocurrencies. I advise selling a mining farm when for the money that you spend paying for electricity, you can buy more coins than your farm mines. |

Between mining frame and closed cases which one cools graphic cards the most? Also how many rig is safe to put in a room size place? Rigs with 8 gpu per case.
What is the area of the room? I had about 30 video cards in a 24 square meter room in open cases. Do not rush to spend money on closed cases if you do not have hot video cards. Maybe better ventilation. Heating problems only in summer, in winter, spring and autumn, ventilation is not required. |

Show your settings in Hive OS. 27 megahash is not a bad result for a beginner, because some of my rx580 video cards had problems with overclocking after 27 megahash, and the mining farm crashed. You can try to flash the BIOS by changing some timings. There is a lot of information about this on YouTube or use the miner settings to increase the hashrate. |
