Now a very good price for video cards GeForce RTX3060 TI https://www.computeruniverse.net/en/p/908351122 RTX3060 TI video cards are more profitable in mining than one RTX3090 TI video card. If the 4000 series does not make outstanding results in mining, then the 3000 series will be popular in mining for a long time. |

P106-100 6GB very old video cards, analogue of GTX 1060 for mining. I don't want to compare hashrate and power consumption
What's wrong with comparing hashrate/power usage between generations? Pascal only has 25% worse H/W compared to Turing on FLUX or XEQ. ETH is irrelevant because it will disappear one day. If I can get a P106 6GB for $70 or a RTX 2060 super for $300 while I pay just 5.4¢/kWh effective for power, the choice is obvious. Even when accounting for the price of the system parts, the P106 has more profit per dollar. I don't see anything wrong with comparing these cards, but I don't want to start mining in Q3 2022 on cards that were released in 2017-2018. I prefer to buy more modern video cards to mine for another 4-5 years if there are profitable coins. |

The RTX 2060 super is definitely good at non-ETH algorithms, but I can find the P106-100 6GB cards for much cheaper per hash. P106-100 6GB very old video cards, analogue of GTX 1060 for mining. I don't want to compare hashrate and power consumption because the P106-100 6GB has been out of production for a long time. And the RTX 2060 super can be found new or used in good condition. |

Core devs call wrapped up:
1) Mainnet shadow fork #9 scheduled for next week
2) Sepolia testnet TTD/merge completed
3) Goerli testnet TTD value to be decided on in consensus layer call next week or core dev call the week after
I thought that the next testnet would be in Goerli testnet. What is Mainnet shadow fork #9? how many more will there be before the end of ethereum mining? If there are several more of these Mainnet shadow forks, then the developers may not be in time until the 4th quarter. |

 This is a table of asics for mining ethereum from this telegram channel https://t.me/koliamainer/7453I also think that when mining ethereum, classic video cards will have little chance of success. Red Panda Mining table author. |

In my area I started to finally see many miners who are starting to liquidate their farms. I think there is going to be a huge supply soon and it’ll be difficult to sell anything at a good price.
I think the best time to liquidate was a few months back when it was confirmed ETH would go 2.0 sometime in the Summer or early Fall. You would of gotten top dollar for everything and wouldn’t of missed out on much profits.
I am seeing the same in my city,if I go to the biggest local market place,I am seeing brand new Rtx 3060 ti for less than 600 EUR,to think that when I bought it in March 2021 I bought for nearly 1300 EUR.I took this example as for me the 3060 ti is the most efficient card,but there are tons of other options,for people who want to build rigs now,the Rtx 2060 Super for just 300 EUR is the best deal at 44 Mhsh,a rig with 7 such cards will cost you like 2200-2400 EUR at max which is a good one for me.I think now is a great time to build a hobby rig for people who always wanted to try mining during the time where GPU prices were skyrocket high. If you buy a mining farm for a hobby, then you can buy this mining farm after the end of ethereum mining. I think prices will be very low and many miners will be forced to sell equipment to avoid losses. But for such a hobby you need cheap electricity. |

All new motherboards have settings issues. I advise everyone to use proven and inexpensive motherboards for mining and use Hive OS. https://aliexpress.ru/item/1005003911721041.html?I used the old version of Windows 10 release 2019 for mining, it works more stable than the new one. |

https://aliexpress.ru/item/1005003911721041.html?For $50 you can buy a motherboard for 8 video cards, a processor and a cooling system for the processor, and your device costs $30. Goods from China can take 45 days, but if you order in advance, then this is a good and proven motherboard. Did you use this motherboard yourself? It looks like a good deal at US$60 including shipping, but I found one that supports 12 GPU's for $90. However, it doesn't include a CPU, which will cost $30. So I have to choose between $60 for 8 GPUs (30 day wait) or $120 for 12 GPUs (5 day wait). I'm leaning toward the 8GPU MOBO because less cards probably means more stability. I have other motherboards of earlier versions. I watched good reviews about this motherboard, it works fine without complex BIOS settings and the price is very attractive. And it is suitable for beginners who do not properly connect raisers to the motherboard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INGXTu5codI |

Fpga cards have been around for a long time.
Perhaps this is a technical issue that is easier to solve in a way that does not use PC mobo. What is the point of discussing this now if there are already ready-made solutions that are cheaper for the manufacturer.

I've read your posts. Yeah, a few celsius drop is definitely not worth the risk of short circuits and other hassles. But is there any other way that you can recommend? Good proven thermal pads like graphite thermal pad that increase the thermal conductivity for better heat dissipation? I think that it is enough to buy good proven thermal pads with a thermal conductivity of 10 and W / mK. It doesn't have to be a famous brand. In China, there are a lot of manufacturers who make quality goods no worse than the Arctic. I am not a fan of spending a lot of money on thermal paste and thermal pads. https://mygraphicscard.com/best-thermal-pads-for-gpu/ |

AMD graphics cards were the best for mining ethereum, and ethereum is still the largest coin for mining. On other algorithms, AMD loses a lot. In the gaming segment, gamers prefer to use Nvidia. After the end of Ethereum mining, the situation may change not in favor of AMD.

It's already too late unless you can get RTX 2080 Ti for 250$, if this doesn't happen it's better to stay away from mining and this is even after you've calculated your electricity expenses first, in some countries mining sucks right now.
RTX 2080 Ti are very hot graphics cards and are inferior in terms of profit to GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. Now it is better to buy video cards with lower power consumption and DDR6 memory, which does not heat up during mining, so as not to be spent on additional ventilation and more powerful power supplies. I'd buy a RTX 2080ti over a RTX 3060 Ti I just like that graphic card, it's like an Asic miner made in heaven lol, imagine having 8 2080Ti in a rig, this will set me up for 2025, may we all live to see more than 2025, amen. In 2025 that card will not make you a good contender in the mining race simply because there will be more efficient cards, 3 years is a long time if you look from technology point.... See what video cards are currently mining coins. You will see a lot of very old graphics cards. Hot graphics cards, such as the RTX 2080ti, can break faster due to overheating. It is better to buy proven solutions for the future. I even think that 2 3060ti video cards will be cheaper and have the same power consumption than a RTX 4080, and the hashrate will be the same. https://hiveon.com/ru/statistics/ |

Ethereum 2.0 will fork the network, and they have implemented a difficulty bomb which will end POW. With a small modification of the wallet code, ethereum will still be minable. Solominers, Pools and exchanges would need to update their wallets.
Another Ethereum Classic, another Team. I am a coin dev and a miner dev with 9 years of blockchain experience, and my team is strong. I have also previously announced that I will create a new coin here on bitcointalk.
We will end up with the POW fork "Ethereum", and the new POS fork "Ethereum 2.0"
Will you change the size of the DAG file so that mining is available for video cards with 3 GB of memory ? Then more miners will join you, or will you not make changes to the size of the dag file? Maybe then it’s better to change the algorithm a little so that powerful ASICs can’t mine a new coin? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5405339.0It is not yet known how many ASICs mine Ethereum, but at low prices per coin, GPU miners will not be able to compete with ASICs. |

Ethereum domains showed an increase in demand as Ethereum Name Service (ENS) registration totaled 126,141 registrations in just one week. The ENS Dashboard, a data tracker created by developer Nick Johnson, shows that registrations went from 11,042 to 29,727, increasing over 200% during the weekend. This happened amid the second-largest .eth domain sale when “000.eth” was bought on Sunday at 300 Ether (ETH), which was worth around $320,000 at the time of sale. https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-name-service-registrations-surge-by-200-amid-lower-gas-fees |

I don't think it will go like this at least not in the immediate future the market of all altcoins at the moment has a downward trend so there is no reason for a future increase in the prices of mining machinery certainly if we find something at a low price we have to take advantage / buy
Ethereum mining takes a huge part of the mining of all altcoins. There is also a new ASIC that will make Ethereum Classic mining on video cards unprofitable after the end of Ethereum mining. The video card market has very weak prospects Antminer E9 2400MН / 1920W https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5405339.msg60518757#msg60518757 |

The only one to be bought for me is Rtx 4070 and that if it has a good price,the Gddr6 memory will allow not that much of overheating and fine tuning its clocks for mining I think we can easily be sure this card to reach near 85-100 Mhsh for just 180-200 watt of power consumption making it one of the most efficient cards,just like the Rtx 3060 ti is the best so far in terms of efficiency.
As for the other two,no matter if they will have a better hash rate dealing with Gddr6x memory and those power consumption is asking for trouble,not finding those interesting for mining unless you live in Alaska or some other cool place.
The article says that the GeForce RTX 4070 video card will appear in November-December 2022, and as a rule it will be sold after 1-2 months. If Ethereum mining ends in 2022, it doesn't matter anymore :)These video cards will be tested on other algorithms. |

It doesn't matter now because the hashrate loss of the 1070ti is not as noticeable when compared to earlier 1000 series graphics cards. If mining stops after 3 months, then Ethereum Classic still has a very large reserve in terms of the size of the dag file.
