Yeah, seem you found them before others noticed their performance.

1300-1500 is current pricing for these now.
I like the 1-slot solution as well with only a 6-pin power.

You got yourself a great deal there for the solution at hand.
And I don't think prices drop on those cards too much on the second hand market either unless you use them for far too long.
So you could off-hand them even in a Crypto market crash if electricity becomes too much for a decent price while the gaming cards would price-drop considerably.

I looked at prices but aren't RX 6800/XT/6900XT better in the end?

The A4000 are going for the same price as those but the AMD cards does 60-66mH/s at similar wattage.

The A4000 seems priced the same as 6900XT but if you can find 6800/6800XT you can go cheaper.

Even considering that it takes almost 1.5-2 years to get ROI nominal. Excluding electricity and taxes on gains making it even longer.

Unless you are getting your A4000 at considerable discounts? Not retail pricing.

How much extra does the dual mining bring vs just doing ETC?

Is there a performance loss on ETC if you dual-mine ZIL?

Been seeing this around but no one really showed if it was worth it or not to bother with.

What kind of hashrate should one expect from KawPow with a 6900XT?

I'm getting around 31-32mH/s and I feel it's kinda low.

Within expectations for these cards from AMD for Ravencoin?

Dogecoin private keys start with a Q so when you say '9LKEM' it's something different unless you omitted the first 'Q' letter in the key.

All indications are it's going PoS by end of this year.
You can trust a person like Vitalik Buterin to screw the miners over hard.

They want the centralization PoS allows. Then the amount of money you have dictates your influence and nothing else.

I can select 16GB for the iGPU in the BIOS for a 5700G... Same with 4650G, 16GB can be selected.
It's a motherboard & BIOS option.

If you are complaining RAM is not fast enough... ddr4 can reach 5000Mhz with the right kit of memory.

The mining software just don't support iGPU in general, not implemented in code to allow them to run.

So unless you ask the developer you have no chance. The hassle for them might not be worth their time even if you ask.
They need to have the part in hand to test code/optimize to see if it even works as well.

I tried to have it supported for 5000G but we encountered issues which could not be resolved unless the developer had the parts themselves to debug.

So if you want to do software development on your own you could make a try yourself but otherwise I don't see support coming around.

ROI on CPU coins is in the years, not months like with GPU mining as of this moment.

Basically your equipment will be kinda obsolete by the time it has if ever returned enough coins to pay for the CPU alone if you buy new.
Your only recourse is to bet/gamble on the price-increase of the particular coins you want to mine.

You could scourge the market for second-hand CPU's of the better variety but you still need all the motherboards etc to go along with it.
And if you gonna mine you can't cheap out on the motherboards too much otherwise you will burn them out. The cheapest boards can't handle the higher wattage CPU's.

Basically you are better of using a GPU to mine other coins and taking payout in the CPU coin you want, than to directly mine with your CPU.

They are all "undervalued" in comparison for the effort/energy used.

I'm wondering how AMD CDNA/CDNA2 compute cards can manage.

They are the true successors to the Radeon VII cards. All have HBM on them. They should be similar to the Nvidia ones if we look at the bandwidth alone.
And they will most likely not gimp performance and differentiate between Mining/ASIC and their compute capabilities.

AMD is increasing their performance at a staggering pace each generation and I see no news or stories about these cards at all. No interest at all it seems.

New mining cards hitting the street.

Nvidia CMP 170HX hitting 164MH/s for Ehtereum mining.

https://www.tweaktown.com/news/81424/nvidia-cmp-170hx-crypto-mining-card-teased-insane-164mh-hash-rate/index.html

The end for consumer miner cards?

The compute cards are so much more better for this than the gaming GPU's.

Nvidia's card is based on their A100 accelerator in a gimped format to limit it to crypto mining only.
But the general Compute cards as just as capable but with a premium price.

How does AMD CDNA compare? Will we those also enter the market?

PoS will kill the coin...


It will become worthless if you can't mine it.

It will be just like the other 10000X PoS tokens that have no value.

Here you go.

EDIT: Got the TH/s number wrong for the total. More like 2-3% from what I said earlier.

I was surprised by the scale they were working at, 10x more than what I expected from just one affiliate alone.

I was thinking it wasn't this concentrated and there were more varied players around.

So one company has the majority of the hashing power on the network looking at this one part of their arsenal being "told".
These are fairly old GPU's as well and better cards are around.

If they offload these GPU's to the market...

Tokens have made the barrier to entry so much easier from both availability & easy of access that you can pump out new variants of PoS Tokens daily from Copy paste developers out to get your hard earned cash.

Tokens are basically Proof of Scams.

It's easier to setup a Token and rug-pull than a PoW coin. It's a endless cycle of people being greedy and wanting to earn fast cash by entering these schemes and shilling the scam to unwitting customers.

They attract new users into these schemes by being really easy to setup and get into by you just buying a large amount of valued dust from you app with a few clicks.

People think this stuff is the "cryptocurrency" thing people are talking about not being aware they are being taken advantage off by their ignorance.

New users should not enter the market by buying these Tokens that have no actual value. You would get more for your money buying lottery tickets.

Tokens & PoS is the place where all scams take place now a days in the crypto world.
The hassle of setting up a PoW coin is too much hassle vs the effort & reward to doing it through PoS Tokens.

It's a complete hustle all the new variants of the same thing over and over again.

The market only really needs a few dozen projects & coins to in actuality to work.

Still issues...

Tried to create a backup and the wallet crashed.

The wallet application can't deal with non-English letters like "å, ä, ö" in the file-path.

Don't want to trust the backup feature now either... (gonna do manual ones)

Anyone catch the news about 485000 RX 470 8GB gpu's being returned to a mining company after being confiscated in China when their bans went into effect?

All those gpu's for just one company affiliate in China to mine Ethereum coming back online when they setup a new location.

That's a 5-10% increase in hashing power from what the current one is.

You need sku specific optimization/code and such to be done? Bummer.
It's supposed to be "VEGA", so was guessing it shouldn't have been too much work to do a test. But it's work, nonetheless.

Will not bother to ask you more about it.
I don't expect them to be any performance killers either.

Do you need a device ID or something to add it in the code?

I presume you have a list of approved GPU's or something for the miner to allow?

What is happening rather than Crypto crashing to find a new price floor we have FIAT currency with the DOLLAR as lead, have inflation to catch and support the crypto price floors, erasing any real collapse of Crypto market prices measured in FIAT but in real terms only FIAT became less valued while Crypto experienced a smaller correction from the earlier year hype staying on their "inflated" prices near ATH.

We will most likely see a increase in Crypto prices as the year goes on. FIAT will keep getting cheaper as inherent inflation of US DOLLAR is realized in the economy. While Crypto most likely will keep current prices as mainstream adoption and investor approval increases with their funds going in and buying up whatever they feel like is a good investment against inflation.

We are seeing widespread acceptance and adoption of Crypto currencies. Now it's a battle which currencies in the Crypto market will catch the money pouring in. They are escaping the money press.
