So here is what I currently have going on ...    31 GPU's ranging from 1070ti's to 1080ti's ... Six of them are XFX Vega 56 blower cards. According to fan specs, we're doing 3100ish cfm on intake and exhaust in a room that is 1680 cubic feet. There is another window in that room that I could put another intake fan in, not sure about that yet. If I do that, I assume I'm going to need to put in another exhaust fan. All rigs other than the vega blower card rig have a box fan behind them. I'm wondering if I should move the shelving unit a little closer to the exhaust, so the heat is sucked directly upwards, but the box fans are pushing hot air off of the cards in a forward motion. Not sure how much. Currently the room is around 7-8 degrees above the outdoor temp. Without the exhaust fan (and with the intake and box fans), it was 15-18 degrees above the outdoor temp, so it has certainly made a big difference. Temps here are going to be heating up, so we will see what happens. The next step in this project is venting all the way outside rather than into the attic. If anyone has any suggestions on gable vents or roof vents that have fittings for a large diameter hose, please let me know. |

How about your mining and trading progress guys? Hope you can get profit from your hardworking activities.
Why don't you look at the fucking btc pairing charts? |

bitcoin will never run the world economy. and Yes, bitcoin has a great potential for improving the price
You don't make sense. Ask your mom. Your mom goes to college. |

True, we can experience a lot of mistakes and need to do some experiments before we make a good decision with regards to our investment. Btc price is unpredictable that we need to choose on how to do handle it carefully and limit the loss to gain more.
For me invsting to bitcoin is not that easy but when we have now experienced to invest, there is no doubt it will surely became easy to invest with bitcoin, it is just normal that it will be very hard to invest in bitcoin if we are just newbie here in crypto world. WTF? WHY? Is this your first fucking time using a computer? Jesus Fucking Christ. |

Seems like it will continue to struggle. At the moment it was around 9500$ but now it's going back again. To be honest I don't expect to go much further this month and it probably will not touch 10000$ any time soon.
This correction lasts a long period now but it was kind of logical situation after huge rise at the end of last year.
But once we break 10000$, hope next month doors for further growth will be more open.
It's probably the last major resistance before $10k, so hopefully once it's broken it's gonna reach new all time highs. Although leveling there and making it a new baseline seems more realistic. As stated it could reach new ath. Now with the present drop we can see some of the panic users ending up selling all their bitcoin holdings. The same will be used as an chance to invest by this time. The ongoing corrective measures will start moving above $10000 within few weeks time. New ATH at this time ? You are not even close to testing the previous ATH, you are already looking forward to a new one. Yeah, you are right with your second statement as what we are seeing now is just a correction which is very normal and with that, we can expect that the market is going to end up having another momentum to go test the $10k spot. With that in mind, I believe that we should either be able to break that resistance or we head back but I really hope it does anyway. That bitch needs to check his shit. Take a nap for a year and come back. |

I already sold my rigs but it still profitable in my place, the sole reason I sold it is I already got my ROI and rumors about new GPU coming from Nvidia. sold it early before GPU price plummets for me is the best idea.
The GPU prices of the currently available GPUs may go down with the release of a new generation, but that won't change the performance of the cards you already have. My 1080 Tis will still kick ass.  New gpu's that are capable of higher hash rates will drive up difficulty faster than it would be driven up if a specific network hash rate just stayed the same with current hardware. Difficulty increase will result in older cards being less profitable to mine with. That's not to say that I would be selling off my 1080ti's right now. I don't see myself doing that in the near future. I think that in the near future, I will sell the 1070ti's that I have though. I'd like to have some capital to replace those with newer gen gpu's. The other thing I'm thinking about is using the capital from the sale of my 1070ti's to buy Vega's. We're not seeing anti-asic fork support from anyone at the moment other than those coins that are better mined with Vega's. I'll never bet it all on one thing though ... I'll always have a mix of hardware for mining in addition to my direct investments into various coins. New GPUs are out. Given the price of them, I don't think they'll flood the market too quickly. Not sure where you're getting your info, but the new Nvidia gpu's are not out yet. just the Titan V which is 3000$ lmao but excluding that you're correct Exactly. Just another person who can't even comprehend what he reads and/or gets something from one source and expects it to be legit. |

metroid doesnt own any coins but follows since 2009 and insults people and calls them trolls.
hehe.
metroid the nocoiner.
I used to hate metroid, but he is the only one who predicted Asics for Ethash, and he gives good advices to buy coins I never hated Metroid, although I think he still goes overboard on his opinions at times, but I'll always welcome what he has to say. Feb-1 ETH was over $1100 ... Apr-1 it was $370ish ... If you know anything about ETH, it was an obvious buy at $400. And if you don't know anything about ETH, losing 2/3's of it's value should have caused you to look into it and buy it. |

and do they consider when a trader loses?
Yes. It's called a capital lose. |

There is no hope trolls, july is getting closer and closer, 3 things will hit your trollhead, first the e3 then the f3 encapsulated in the e3 and then the new nvidia gpus hehe and guess where all that hashrate is going to ehhe, I predict the difficulty to jump at least 3 times till September and price to follow and then before btc halves on 2020. Prices on 2020 will likely to be, btc 100k, eth 20k and many trolls resting with an improved fabricated coffin hehe
Also Warren Buffet crying out loud why he missed all that hehe
If those price predictions come true, I'll be living on my own private island somewhere. Lol. |

The point to a profit - even small - is that it's money you would not have HAD otherwise.
Also, the OP specifically stated "hobby miner".
But you waste a lot of time for it. Is not better and profitable to click some sites and buttons in the internet?  Why would it waste time? A miner is something you configure and leave alone. It mines while you are sleeping ffs. Doing paid-to-click websites is less profitable because it demands your full attention the whole time. You could have instead spent that time learning a useful skill. Something is seriously off with the way you think. I highly suggest you take time to stop and meditate. The current market value now is higher than in the future. Every day that you keep it mining for 5 cents it might depreciate another 10 cents Where did you get your crystal ball? Even theres no need to check out a crystal ball We can already presume on mining difficulty and the basic commodity or factors that would really be needed on mining which do increase its price too which would really have a common result which is not really worth of to mine.If you do mine just for hobby then its your choice but you are really totally paying up the expense of electricity or maintenance rather than on making money out of it. Sorry, but I don't agree with you at all. Every single month I calculate my net income (if I were to cash out mined coins for USD at that given point) and every month it's double (worst month) or triple what I paid in electricity. At various points when I feel the time is right, I trade shit coins for btc, but I haven't traded btc for usd in several months. And even when I did take some profit in USD back in December, it was very little. You both can say whatever you like, but my numbers look just fine. I wouldn't get into mining as a hobby personally, but at this point, I would continue to mine as a hobby, if it ever came down to that. Maintenance doesn't cost money unless your shit is breaking down all of the time and/or you don't know how to properly configure your rigs. Research doesn't cost you anything other than time, and you'd better be constantly doing that whether you're mining or just buying coins. Asic resistant proof of work projects are dependent on gpu mining to secure their networks. You better go check yo-self This topic is not really that relative anymore since ETH basically doubled from its low when this topic was created. If you are making double your electricity then yes it's worth keeping it running. But when ETH was below $400 and people were making 10 cents profit daily after electricity then you might as well turn it off and sell the rigs. But since this is crypto a lot can change in a short time. Well I don't mine eth. But I did buy a shit load of eith at $400 last month. If it ever dips below that, I'll buy more. I'm not in the camp of mining vs buying ... I started mining back when gpu prices were reasonable and I also invest usd into buying coins when I see blood in the streets. So my mining experience is much different than someone who is just now wanting to get into it. That's why I'm such a dick to people who say mining isn't worth it. For me, shutting down my rigs at a slight down turn in overall profitability is a stupid move, especially when my worst month was double what I spent in electricity. GPU mining doesn't equal mining eth ... Not that simple, my friend. |

My rig has been running for 2 months straight with no problems (Win 10 and 5x R9 290). The only problems it has ever given to me have been because of my "awesome" overclocking. Also, mining still gives you some ez profit.
Same here. I have my Vega rig on Windows 10. It has locked up a few times in the past several months. All of my Nvidia rigs are on SMOS. Zero problems there. Awesome remote monitoring. Console view from any internet connected computer or my phone. Email alerts if anything goes down. All rigs are on switched pdu's, so I can cycle the power on any of the pdu outlets from my phone or any internet connected computer. I would have my Vega rig on SMOS if it was supported, but when Win10 works so well with XMR-STAK, I don't really care. Hashrate monitor and auto restart of XMR-STAK, if the hashrate dips to a certain level. And these idiots talk about not being able to go on vacation, because they have to baby their rigs constantly. They just don't get it. Probably not high level tech people. A bunch of fucking noobs that got their mom to buy them a new puter for Christmas and tried to engineer a make-shift mining rig out of it, is what I'm thinking. |

is it possible to mine on my computer whose operating system is window? Yes. Pretty sure you can still mine it with a cpu. You'll probably end up with pennies per month like you would with the app, but it can be done. |

In the beginning/ mid-March I was tempted to sell my mining rig. Glad I didn't, once again it's producing some nice profit  Do you feel some regrets now? Rig can become a big mess again Nope, not at all . Still mining and receiving some nice profit from my rig even if it uses 1.2kW of power and electricity is 0.16usd/kWh. Dipstick likes to come around every now and then and take his frustrations out on everyone, because he was way too late to the mining game. Sorry about his luck. |
