the card model is sturdy but considering the model, the original release date(2017) and the amount of them being sold, they have seen their fair share of mining for sure. also consider that their hashrate slowly deteriorates with each dag epoch since they are using ethlargement pill. your call, it's a risky move considering the state of the market, if you asked this question a year ago i'd tell you to buy them in a heartbeat, but now you have to consider the risks.
I don't think that hashrate decrease due to DAG file increase will be an important drawback when buying this video card. If Ethereum mining is up to date by the end of the year, then the hashrate will decrease by 1-1.5 megahash. I would be worried about the end of ethereum mining.

The price of ethereum has dropped a lot and the prices of video cards have not decreased much. I do not advise buying video cards now, because they are expensive and it is not known how long Ethereum mining will last. In such a situation, it is better to wait for interesting prices for video cards.
I always advise to never buy anything over msrp because if you do then is a huge gamble, now is worse than ever but sheeps love doing mistakes so they will end up buying gpus and then later complain about their own stupid decisions. MSRP https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5351713.0I agree with you. But we won't see MSRP in GPU stores anytime soon, so each miner needs to do the calculations themselves, given their price of electricity and mining hardware.

Fellas, do we have some actual numbers for 6500xt on some coins ? ETC/CLO/Flux... Is it much worse than 6600xt ?
i think its not bad for toncoin @200$ 1660s 1.25gh 70w 6500xt 1.20gh~ This is a bad decision for mining a ton coin. The maximum hash rate requires maximum core overclocking, and this will lead to overheating of the video card, because its cooling is not designed for such loads. Open cases will definitely be a bad decision, you should immediately buy closed cases.

Plotting kills NVME faster than any thing and it's also the fastest for plotting, now chia isn't worth mining unless you can get the SSD for a very cheap price which is not possible and also difficulty is very high now, best way to go around this is using old parts I mean used parts
This is not true, NVME disks have a great resource for plotting.Watch this video through a translator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJRGyBxKoJUAt the current prices of the coin, it is not profitable to do this, unless you believe in a rise in prices in the future.

1. Recoal 2. Maskcoin 3. Ally 4. Loki 5. Haven 6. graft 7. Worktips 8. Dero 9. Veil Project 10. Litcoincash
The number goes on and on but in the end many died and some have zero volume on exchanges, its all a shattered dream
I was an active miner, and from this list of shitcoins I remember only a few coins. I have wallets from dead shitcoins from 2017 and don't want to repeat this experiment anymore. To make money on cryptocurrencies, you need to be a good specialist, and not mine or buy shitcoins, in the hope that their price will rise. Even if the miner thinks that he got shitcoins almost for free, he can calculate the loss that he received if he did not mine Ethereum.

Mining is dead. But you don't know it yet.
Tell the owners of 25 million video cards that mine Ethereum about this, Mr. Troll https://etherscan.io/chart/hashrateThe fact that the RTX 3050 is useless in mining is actually great news for other miners - there will be fewer competitors.

Why do soms people still mine coins at loss ? Is there any opportunities behind this?
Most of the miners sold their coins and made a good profit in 2021. Therefore, they have enough funds to pay their electricity bills. Miners with expensive electricity will soon start to turn off, but most miners work where electricity is not very expensive. I doubt this friend, why mining difficulty always go way down once mining profit isn't making sense anymore? If most miners are mining in a country with low electricity bill then difficulty won't be so down If you look at a similar situation in 2018, then the hash rate did not start to decrease immediately. After 3 months, the hashrate began to decrease. And there has not yet come such a situation that the profit was less than the expenses of the miners. Therefore, it is too early to talk about mining at a loss.

The 7970 was a great graphics card for mining, but there are very few of them left in working order and these cards have very high power consumption to make mining profitable. In terms of mining performance, these video cards will lose even RX 470.

https://rvn.2miners.com/helpteamredminer.exe -a kawpow -o stratum+tcp://rvn.2miners.com:6060 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS.RIG_ID -p x pause
Remove --enable_compute https://github.com/todxx/teamredminer/releasesDownload the miner again, run it with the recommended settings. What operating system are you using? I hope not windows 7, 8 or 11? You need windows 10 and any video card test.

I have 5 old amd radeon 5450 gpus. Any chance I can mine with them? Or waste of time?
It is impossible to put into words how useless these video cards are in mining. Sell them if you find a buyer. Check out the list of current video cards for mining. But the profit falls very strongly. https://whattomine.com/gpus

I bought 3 3060s month ago now I think this might be my biggest mistake as a newbie, maybe I should just sell my graphic cards and wait for another green market before embarking on this journey again or what should I do?
I think that further the cost of the video card will only fall. Place an ad with a price that is interesting to you in order to understand the demand for video cards in your city. If your electricity is inexpensive, then continue mining and do not sell video cards. If I were you, I would decide now.

I decided to stop mining due to electricity cost it seems I need to wait again after block halving to start my miner again.
Unless if there is someone knows a coin to mine which still profitable for gtx 1070 and 1080ti I will stay mining. I cant afford to continue even holding them because it would be much better if I buy the coin instead of mining them.
You stop mining early, because even at 25 cents electricity cost, your video cards are still profitable. You can mine Ethereum while you can, because this coin has a future. And in a few years, your video cards may become useless in mining at your electricity prices.

1. Shiba inu < its going to be wiped away from the new frontier of memecoin, for example Vinu, simply because it fast(really fast!) and feeless, that's a clear advantage
2. Ravencoin> i did not dig into this
3. Ergo> mining this one because of its use case. I concur and hodl as well
4. Flux---- not so sure. their structure keep getting complicated
5 I will add Verus and RTM. But for RTM we will see when futures,asset and the new language for smartcontract will come out. If they keep doing what they said, watch out
It looks like no one will remember these coins in 2025. My portfolio of shitcoins in 2017 is now worth 95 times less. I don't want to wish a loss on a colleague, but with this kind of investment, the chance of loss is very high.

Who would buy 3 1080ti for 1500$? Friends warning me that I will never get my ROI back even if I got them for free the other said 1000$ max, maybe u should just let the seller walk away in peace? I have 24hrs to decide
If you can't answer this question yourself, then you don't need these graphics cards. You need to look at the mining logs for the last weeks, video card settings, temperatures and external state. For a beginner, I think it's a bad choice, better look for a 2060 super or 2070.

Is there any mining software that perfects the Unlock LHR on GPUs? I have a 3070ti that shows 61MH mining ETH when using Trex miner and few minutes later when the LHR unlock shows 74.5 it starts reducing the hashrate to 56MH, which miner is best for LHR
https://whattomine.com/gpus/62-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-ti?cost=0.1I haven't heard about the new LHR hacks on the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. Increasing the hashrate also affects the consumption of the video card. Now it is more profitable for you to mine another coin on the ProgPow algorithm.

I want to try some my luck and yes I accept it as a lottery, like I've said before the chances are so slim but still I want to take the risk, I have GPU mining rigs that brings me dollars every day but this ASIC miner is old I just want to do this, even if I made nothing from this I don't care
What is your asic? You must have read the latest news about the success of solo miners who have earned more than 100 coins. In the lottery, too, someone wins millions of dollars. Here the hashrate of the solo miner plays a very important role and not every block is bold. There are blocks where the reward is only a few coins.

The best advice for beginner miners is not to mine if electricity is expensive in your country, for example more than 10 cents. If you still pay mining taxes, then this is an additional minus. It is better to buy cryptocurrencies when the price drops.
