Its not the best price per hash, but surely if you have expensive power and are crazy to mine bitcoin then this miner will be your biggest bet.

They are at our German suppliers. As the GPU's was to much manufactured in bull market, and nobody was buying trough out 2018. Most of them just want to get rid of even at loos. But this wont be for long till demand will start increase again if it keeps going like it is now.
True RX470/570 only good for eth and monero , but also they are top currencies to mine, not like 1660ti is very efficient almost on every mining algo.

It really comes back to individual, as calculations has to be done to get back the fastest ROI if you are only in for gains.
So the best is to calculate price per mh/s and watt per mh/s , but it has proven in past that cheaper series cards are more profitable and does the fastest roi. Like in the past RX470 was top choise cause they where doing on eth so damm good and was very cheap. They still are very good pick if have cheap power as they are about 100$ now.

A lot depends from the pricing you can buy them think 1070 is still quite expensive for its performance speed here in Europe. Like the Vega is twice as expensive but 3x performance on some of the algos as 1070. Buy yes i do like also 1070, have one rig with 6xmsi armor 1070.

Yes most of the mining algorithms has even better performance them 1070. Prices is very attractive, compare to also very efficient cards like Radeon VII.

GTX 1660ti graphic cards where releases somewhere in February 2019. And they are value graphic cards from Nvidia, so it means good price , low power usage and very efficient for mining. Which makes the one of the most efficient mining graphic cards for mining some of the cryptos. Probably after our test the most efficient mining is on Ethereum , Raven and Grin coin mining.


We where testing these in hiveOS , and these are the results we are getting:

Power usage is really great on these cards, so at least there is some profit for mining in such tough times for miners. Like some of the other graphic cards even doesn’t cover power costs for mining. This means if you are using these cards , you can stay longer in the game without loosing money. Which is crucial for large mining farms, as we have seen a lot of them shutting down as they cannot cover the power costs.

What GPU's you are using for mining ALTS? What's the most efficient you think?

Great work thank you!

Antminer Z9 review mining Zcash.

Antminer Z9 in one of the newest ASIC miners From Bitmain for mining Equihash Like Zcash , Zclassic , Zen Cash and other Shit-coins. So we got the miner for Tests couple days ago, as usually Bitmain with the specs are there are advertising on their website they are on point. Miners are usually as efficient or more.
To setup Antminer Z9 is the same way as any other Bitmain asic miners, you put in your pool address type in wallet info and you are good to go. We did connect this miner to Flypool to mine Zcahs.

After the setup miner stats hashing nearly instantly , it does connect to mining pool much more faster then Antminer E3. Which took about 7-10 minutes to start hashing.
The results we got was :
•   42 Kh/s
•   1000 Watts
As many of you know Antminer Z9 mini was possible to overclock and get more then 50%extra hashrate which of course does make your ROI much more faster. But Bitmain has removed the option to OC as much In this software version. And there is only 2 overclock options now :
•   “Balance” which is the stock setting 500mhz
•   “Turbo” which has OC 550mhz

So when using overclock “Turbo” results are:
•   50kh/s
•   1100w

We did try also HTML hach which seems to didn’t work, as you are trying some OC which doesn’t exist, miner automatically restets to stock. Also we tried to edit CGminer configuration file which also was not supported.
Currently equihash miners are the only one of the most profitable as rest of the miners barely covers power costs and in some cases it doesn’t. For how long this is going to be, I dont know . As usually these asic miner manufacturers manufacture so many miners that mining difficulty increases so much that there is no mining profit. Probably expecting to 0 profit in 1-3 month if the prices wont change.

Overwall thoughts about miner :
Miner working stable and profitable. After testing 2 miners , one hashing board died on one miner. Turning off after 30 minutes of mining. Tried software recovery which also didn’t help.

This doesnt seems right, your are distributing here tokens manually address by address?

Look at the bright side, we are still up where we where around 1.5 year ago at 6usd BTC

You'll have a tough time to sell them now , dont sell when there is to much demand , wait and sell when mining profitability is back.
In December people where buying Antminers S7 which where turned of for couple years as it was very profitable to mine.
It goes in hand as buying coins, buy low sell high.

Hope this helps BTC

Yes i expect them 20-30 % only more efficient, but also as ethereum mining is Memory focused , none has tested yet how GDDR6 could work.

Or another way steel power from neighbor . ha

Your dead off, that was back in jan when prices were high.  Since feb gpus have been in massic stock at near retail prices, since no ones buying gpus anymore to mine eth as profits tanked.

during this time hash rate went from 200th to 280th how do u explain the large growth in hash when gpus were basically in stock and have actually been in overstocl since feb.

Don’t be fooled, as much as 50 percent of the hash rate is private asics and fpgas, as coins start switching to progpow and gpu miners keep shifting out i bet he hash rate keeps rising due to asics.

expanse is already moving to prog pow and i expect metaverse and etc to follow

Its all manipulation , GPU was out of stock till May, we had peorders waiting for month and couldn't clear them. And actually network hasrate hasnt changed much as the asics are realeased. They might be some 10% of whole network.
Asics on ETH isnt the same as Asics on Zcash ,  they cannot reach 50x speed increase at the same power usage. Also same thing with FPGAs To expensive per has then GPU. RX570 would be more profitable then VCU-1525 .

Asic is a new thing in ethereum mining and can't agree you that most hashrate comes from asic mining. It comes from GPUs, for this reason it was almost impossible to buy gpu in normal price, everything was out of stock immediately.
Ethereum has some good features and is better than some other popular shitcoins but I have the same question: Will eth recover? I highly hope it will but current statistics makes me very pessimistic.
[/quote]
I have no doubt it will recover , people are pessimist when prices are low, people are optimistic when prices are high. Bitcoin also has been in such situation , even more . It dropped from 1250 to 100usd in matter of days. I know people will always look for a reason why this is happening, traders doesnt need reasons. Ethereum is been picked on all the time now,
Ethereum isn’t the only currency getting slaughtered -10x , there are many more. Name it most currencies from top 10 Market cap has gone down in value -10x.
•   Top 3 XRP from 3.33 to 0.26
•   Top 4 BCH from 4091 to 421
•   Top7 LTC 330 to 50
•   Top 9 Cardano 1.22 to 0.06

Anything 'too big to fail' is of course already f***ed by the time anyone says that ;-)

The really worrying thing is if you widen the scope a little, especially in Europe/UK. Nothing really banging a drum that doesn't say 'bury the money and panic buy baked beans'...

I do believe there is Tech behind it and it is actually the most used block-chain with average daily transactions 500-600k .
Only scam can go to 0 .
This is only market correction, we have had these in past in 2016 October when ethereum network hasrate drooped by 50% in matter of couple weeks and we are only now at 10-15% hasrate drop.
Yes there is Asics now, but they are not nearly as powerful as they are for example new equihash asics where some of them are 100x more efficient as gpu rigs.



Seen a lot of people in last few days doubting Ethereum existence , think we are very close to bottom out. But do not thing we are nowhere near for another bull market. My thoughts could be closer to end 2019. First ethereum needs to scale and we need to see those millions of transactions per second.

Also it never should go up so high. People to greedy BTC

It should go under 250TH in next few days if nothing changes.
It looks similar to 2016 October-November Drop, when total hasrate droped from 7.9TH to 3.8TH
Also at that time we didnt have ASIc miners on ethereum. (so probably wee need about 30-40% drop now , before we can start going up again)

We have reached now lowest point at Ethereum network hash-rate since January.


Think we will find the bottom very soon, only scam can go to 0, dont think ETH is any Scam.
