No matter what miner you're running, always have a bit of power left on the PSU. This'll increase efficiency as it puts the PSU near the peak of its efficiency curve, and the PSU will have some loads off its back. Server PSUs are made to run at such conditions, but I still like to leave a couple hundred watts unused. For more specific efficiency curve information, searching (psu name here) efficiency curve should net you results on Google or whatever search engine you are using. As an example, this is the AWP3++ efficiency curve. Most of the time this saves just a couple % in terms of power usage, but over long periods of time you're saving hundreds of dollars. https://shop.bitmain.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020170627175024105t4k8SjM5067C |

Mostly RX 580 8gb whatever brand will give you around 29-31mhs even 32 with the right setup (mod-it and tune-it).
What is the max ever made by a 580 8gb in dollars??
$2-$5 a day is possible, depends on your way to mining with it.
I saw it reaching like 8 usd in December.... don’t know if it can possible do that. Hope it can!! It is all dependent on the price of coins. For the sake of calculating mining profits, always assume the worst. On average you're making around $1.50 a day as things stand with a 580 with Ethereum. Considering ROI for most cards like the 580 is still below a year. mining is still extremely profitable compared to other investments, though. |

It's about time. Nice to see we've finally cracked that block, can't wait for more!
On a side note, seems the Android app is pretty unreliable in reporting blocks found. I didn't get any notification from the app for the block being found, but rather from Minergain.
If you go to the settings and hit the save button, you'll probably get an error like I am saying invalid api/btc address. It's basically toast since the early February update.  Yeah, I get that every time I try to access the app briefly too. Oh well, not a whole big deal. As a new miner - trying to see if it makes sense to stay here. I have been on Kano Since Feb 1 -so roughly 8 days.
My payout was 0.00161039, so obviously not ramped up?
I know when i was on slushpoot I was getting around .01 BTC every 6 days, so it seems slush is better, but I cannot account for the rampup time here and if staying on will get better rewards for the next block.
Once the ramp-up time completes, assuming 100% luck, you'll be about even with payments. The payments are smaller daily for Slush, but they are larger on Kano and come less often. Overall you'll be making more on average with Kano. You'll find out once you stay a bit. Additionally, fees are lower than Slush's 2%, so you're making more even if both pools did use the same pool payment system. |

I've been using Binance recently and I've had zero issues with them. They're relatively new so it's hard to judge whether or not they're truly stable yet, but in the months I have traded with Binance things have been moving smoothly.
By volume they're also one of the largest exchanges, and there's no need for verification if you withdraw less than 1BTC daily IIRC. As a reminder, remember to never keep your money on exchanges. Whenever possible, withdraw your coins to an address you own (preferably to a hardware wallet) for maximum security.

I had an issue just like this as described. I ended up RMA the mobo with Amazon and that's when I realized that the CPU even though it was an LGA 1151, the generation of the CPU I was using was not working with the mobo. I was using the Asus Z370 Tuf Pro Gaming though when that issue happened (yesterday actually). the new Mobo that Amazon sent did not work either. I tested to just be sure as I read online that some people were able to get it to work by changing the PSU out. I was using all new PSUs and all new RAM and CPUs to do my tests. look at that as a possible issue also... here is the link to newegg where I finally found out that the CPU I have would not work even though it is the same LGA 1151 size. I just didn't read enough most likely since the price went down. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813119037 it says that it is not "backwards compatible with older generation CPUs" this is why its better to just buy a motherboard that's MENT for mining and not a mobo that was designed for GAMERS, that and your also paying way more for a gaming motherboard than compare to most mining motherboards, hmm 80 dollars compared to what 150 atleast, hmm common sense says to go for the 80 dollar motherboard that was ment for mining as opposed to getting a mobo that's COSTS more and was designed for gaming I know plenty of people using gaming motherboards for mining and they work just fine. The important thing is to get a motherboard that actually works for your particular setup; whenever possible, look at reviews. Having the newest cutting-edge tech doesn't matter, what runs and works does. Either way, it's pretty common knowledge Z3xx boards aren't compatible with pre-Coffeelake CPUs. |

They're nearly identical in mining performance. Whatever you can get cheaper is best; the DAG size thing has already been explained. Even 3GB 1060s are still capable of mining ETH, though they're not the fastest for doing so.

Their miners already sell pretty well and most people probably won't even notice the new label on the miner. I don't think they've had many issues with product marketing recently considering their S9s sold out in minutes just a few weeks back.

If it is SHA256 then congratulations Bitmain for making something more shitter then a D3. Costs more in electricity lol
They just want to get rid of their old S7 units that are barely profitable anymore. There's still people that will probably buy them that either have near-free electricity or are clueless about mining. |

GPU prices aren't instantly affected by coin prices but they're lagging indicators. Sooner or later we'll see card prices dropping back down if prices continue downwards or even stagnate. There's still people buying up cards just to resell.

WOW.. this is S7 underclock. Yeah, I don't see this as a special miner either but rather Bitmain trying to sell off their S7s in their mining warehouses as mining becomes less profitable. Shitmain at work. |

Yep, 4Th at ~1000W shipping April to May for around $335 USD. I'd be interested in one of these if they brought em to the US site. Apparently 80% will be shipped April and 20% in May. On a side note, I haven't seen a miner sell for this cheap in a very long time from Bitmain. Seems to be a simple S7 underclock and they're trying to dump their existing miners.

Bitblender, linked in my signature, is also a dependable mixer and I've personally used it many times without any issues. The main site is linked on the site in my signature and can only be accessed through Tor- some people have been scammed by visiting a copycat site that claims to be bitblender. The only real one is this Tor link- http://bitblendervrfkzr.onion/ |

Ethereum or ZCash/ZClassic seems to be most profitable at this point in time. In the future, if you're looking for a coin to mine, just use a mining calculator and stick to a coin that is consistently profitable. Some people use whattomine but I find profitability on there is sometimes inaccurate.

Depends if you have an ASIC or GPU, and if you have the former what algorithms it is capable of. Chances are if you own a Baikal unit you'll be able to mine at least Quark and Qubit. Profitability on SHA256 and Scrypt is below BTC and LTC respectively IIRC so it's not worth mining on those algos with ASICs.
Above posts detail GPU mining.

I think media really has so much influence on the market functions of cryptocurrency trading. I was thinking of simply keeping my BTC as a store of value, and not necessarily using it to build up a financial portfolio - you could say am the 'value stock' kind of guy. However, with the current trends in the ecosystem, it's really hard to decide what to do; the fear of selling and regretting it later is more damaging than the thought of selling at a loss.
The thing is we've recently accumulated many new buyers recently, most of which have weak hands are easily influenced by the media. The media cranks out much more negative news and FUD than anything positive during these times, and newbies who bought above 15k that see this will become tempted to sell. As long as crypto exists this'll be an issue. |

are they back in business?
Yep, and they're offering "full" reimbursements for losses in waves, with this one being 10%. I feel like they're going to stretch this out over a very long period of time though, but it's still better than nothing. Has everyone gotten their full balances back yet? Or are they still short coins from the hack ?  No, everyone has only gotten 10% pending or already processed as of now. |

MSRP is rising for sure and its become considerably harder to acquire cards as more people are using bots on retailers and things go even quicker than they did last week. I was able to snatch two more this week but found it easiest to get direct from EVGA website.
If you manage to get a "gold" membership or whatever it's called on EVGA's site you'll be able to access even more deals. I recently noticed some cheap 1080s on their site but they were only for their special members, but I'm not sure what the requirements are for it though. Some people qualify, some don't. |

cryptocoinsinfo.com offers a mining calculator with some comparisons, though I don't have a whole lot of experience with them. Coinwarz is one I've personally used a lot in the past and it still seems accurate.
