I rolled the dice and got 2, I estimate 120-180 ROI ... if they work.

For those interested or those that want to laugh at a $10k price tag, this listing shows someone had one in hand and they took some actual photos of it. https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/ANTMINER-L3-LTC-miner-504M-newest-scrypt-miner-Litecoin-mining-machine-504M-800W-on-wall-bettiner/227686_32797189350.html

The deal is too good.
Bitmain is really smart and does not off deals this good.

Conclusion WTF are they up to.

if you do 5 % a jump at 10 cent power with ltc at 9.50 usd the gear will earn back fully in sixty days and turn a huge profit.

look at daily numbers


look at per diff jump


look at weekly


look at monthly

My 1080ti arrived a day late today ... I've not mined with Nvidia before ... so time for a few tests/tweaks ... using the latest 381.65 driver.

Straight off the bat (without making any voltage adjustments etc.) it's QUICK for sure! ... and throws out a fair amount of heat as well, fans set to 70% to keeps temp around 64 degrees.

Nicehash miner only offers to benchmark one algo, being Lyra2REv2: 63 MH/s, 282 watts rig draw at around $4.87 per day.

EWBF ZEC miner on Nicehash: 700 sols (fluctuates down to 682 sometimes), 291 watts rig draw at around $4.64 per day.

Nicehash Excavator: Equihash algo, 660 sols, 292 watts rig draw but it fluctuates wildly.

All the above are only 15/20 minute sessions so might be out a bit.

I hadn't even considered it might be suitable for Lyra2REv2, interesting GPU this.

Time to play with AfterBurner and see what can be tweaked, the core voltage seems to be locked? There must be a way to unlock that?

Ah finally!  Been a while since I found a block and yes a S7LN!

 *ALL* RX 4xx series cards are being discontinued as AMD has shifted production to the RX 5xx series leaving the RX 4xx cards limited to stock/chips on hand.
 Availability issues on the RX 4xx series has ZERO to do with "altcoin pricing" at this point.

 Similarly, AMD seems to have ended production of the chips for the Fury line a couple-three months back anticipating the impending release of the VEGA cards.

Wel it was a good shot, think I'll be pulling out soon.

I've got a 1060 6GB humming along at 320+ and hoping to grab a couple of 1080ti's shortly.

Do you guys mine directly to ZEC or just use nicehash and have it converted to BTC?

thanks phil, please add mining software & OS to submit those cards.

Btw, on values like Core: 200 and Vm. 350, is it 2000 Mhz (Core)/3500 Mhz (Memory)?

hash 300mhs

price 799 atm but we are working on something better

power usage
quark 50w

WOW! Those numbers are looking awesome! Hope we hit something soon

Anyone here had any issues with strap-modding MSI 470 4gb?  I built my 4th rig yesterday... got 2 new 470s up and running smoothly on ETH+DCR but when I tried strap-modding each, it appeared to work fine but upon reboot, both showed up with an error in Device Manager and were not recognized.

This occurred trying them 1 at a time. First, I did device 0, which has Samsung memory, so I strap-modded using the 1750 timings. It appeared to take but after reboot, I got the login & desktop screens in extra-large text (like before the AMD drivers are installed). Then sure enough, the GPU was not recognized. This is the GPU i have my monitor plugged into.  Tried reboots to no avail, so flashed the ROM back to original and it worked fine after the reboot.

Next, I tried the strap-mod on device 1 (Hynix) copying the timings from 1500.  Again, appeared to update fine but after reboot, device manager did not recognize it.  Flashed back to original ROM and it's fine again.

Has anyone experienced this or have suggestions on what to try to fix it?  This is an almost identical build to my last rig, which took all strap-mods fine on first attempt. The only real difference is that I am using a Biostar TB85 mobo (vs the ASRock BTC Pro 2 in my last 2 builds) but I can't imagine that being the issue.

A similar thing did happen to me on my 2nd rig, but I soon moved to W10 (from W7) and since was able to strap-mod all without issue.

The only thing I can think of (but doesn't seem likely) is that I got the 2 mixed up and flashed with the wrong mod (Samsung 1750 vs Hynix 1500) but I went based the order GPUs are listed in GPU-z.  Based on my last 2 rig's setup, GPUz seemed to be the only consistent way to determine device #, but maybe that was just luck.  Meaning, the first GPU in the drop-down is device 0 and the last is device 5.  I suppose it's possible that I added the GPUs in a different order on the other 2 rigs because on this one, I added the first in the x16 slot, then the 2nd to the first x1 slot, which could have mixed things up device wise, since I think I added them in line order last 2 rigs.  Anyway, probably the best thing to do it take out that Hynix from the x1 slot and add a Samsung there (assuming i have another Samsung) and then try to 1750-mod them both and see what happens.  That's probably quicker and easier than un-installing everything and re-installing in line order.

Anyway, any tips or similar experiences would be appreciated!
