Are there real people on here that are mining Ethereum using solar panels and battery backup? I haven't seen anyone on here talking about this and there are tons of videos on youtube about people mining 24/7 with sunlight and battery back ups
Could be fun if you have the money to build the solar, getting energy from the sun is very good but return of investment wise it's not so good because it will take years to recover all the money you spent on the solar and mining rig all together |

Back in late 2016 - mid '17 I thought my 280x/7970's from '14 were pretty much done for.. Along came Zcash amongst a few others to make them profitable again for at least another 2 years until 2017 - '18 they got replaced.
Right now, My 4GB 570/580's are looking at the same fate! Will something come along to save them? Or is there time truly up? as they drop to below half their normal hashrate, to around 15mh.
You can mine beam or raven, much more profitable than etc. If you mine etc, dual mine it with zil Hi sxemini I heard that octopus algorithm is far more profitable than other algorithms except Ethereum only right now, is this true? The only Octopus algorithm coin I can find is Conflux, are there any other coins that are using octopus algorithm? Not all GPUs are Profitable when mining octopus algorithm and today Ethereum is still more profitable than octopus, it thus makes sense to keep mining Octopus algorithm cos I've seen some post about how Profitable the algorithm is on obsolete cards |

hello guys
i have a question about buy vga card for mining etherume
in document and forums, users wrote example : vga RX 480 is good ! (for example)
and when search RX 480 in google, google show : ASUS RX 480 and ROG Strix RX 480 and XFX TX 480 and MSI RX 480 and another brand viewed !
Which I should buy ?
Is only a 480 chipset suitable for this ? Or is the brand important ?
I pay attention to the chipset or brand ?
Best Regards
You mentioned ASUS, XFX, MSI, all these brands are very good, even others like ZOTAC, Gigabyte, Colorful are good too, if you can get your hands on any RX480 at cheaper price it will even be better, just make sure the gpu video memory is 8gb because all those 4gb version are obsolete and less profitable now |

I don't recommend mining for hours on your laptop, if it gets too heated some hardware resistors might get loose and your laptop will stop working, it's not recommended to mine CPU and GPU coins on laptop, they aren't built for that purpose due to high heat

Am I missing something here? I know the dag file increased which makes 4gb cards useless but my laptop gpu has 5991MB of vram and I'm still only able to hash around 15.5 Mh/s this card is suppose to reach 28-30 Mh/s. Does nvidia require a bios update like AMD that I am not aware of? According to whattomine and some other site this card should be around 28-30 Mh/s. I can't find any info on this card about anyone having bad hashrates so I'm not sure what to do at this point. I have been mining CFX Octopus since it's getting good hash rates but i'd much rather be mining ether! I'm hashing CFX Octopus at 27 Mh/s! I know it's a different algorithm but still. I'm confused. GPU-Z Screenshot  Hm, what could be the problem? Go to power settings and put the power mode to highest performance first, go into BIOS settings and off any integrated GPU (iGPU in BIOS) also try to increase the page file, you can use google to find how, I will also like to know the RAM size of your laptop |

If the concept of the project is very good it's better to take a short, the self moderated part might not be to avoid paying hunters or to scam people, you can send a PM to the BM to ask why he used that, im sure everyone has different reasons for using self moderating

You are wasting electricity if you are mining with gtx750 or other cards with 2gb video memory, remove them and leave the AMD cards in your motherboard, go into AMD drivers settings and activate compute mode, this should increase your hashrate, also what version of driver are you using? If the compute mode don't solve the problem I recommend using a different mining software
Dudes what is your problem with his gtx750, he will not mine with this card. And he said it is a nvidia card, because teamredminer is AMD ONLY. I'm not familiar with teamredminer though so I can't say much here, I will just like to ask you if that's the lastest teamredminer ? If not I suggest you try to use the latest update version, also remove the obsolete GTX750, try out other miners, since you are running on Linux you should give HiveOS a try, there are simple others like Nicehash too
Update
I can see a RX550 in the list of your GPUs, isn't that a 2gb graphic card too? Remove such cards with anything less than 4gb vram pls
You can use google? RX550 with 4Gb and 2GB  If you have not much knowledge, why you answer? @Flooze can you give us your commandline parameters? What driver you are using? @sxemini we are all here to share knowledge, nobody is perfect when it comes to knowledge and ideas, it's normal not to know that few GPUs have 4gb vram memory size and that RX550 is a low end AMD gpu, if one asked me I'd say it's 2gb gddr5 gpu because it's low end built |

There is RX550 with 4gb memory, it's possible that you don't know because the gpu is a low end graphic card, here is a picture of RX550 4gb edition  @Flooze just know that you will be getting lower hashrate if you are mining with a 4gb video card, about the RX Vega not mining at all I think it's best if you troubleshoot the card only by removing other cars from the motherboard and leaving the Vega 56 only in there, go to AMD settings and find compute mode in there, active and retry |

Or just make Proof of Work: energy efficient, very easy to use on mobile devices, devices for PoW should be multi-purpose and portable.
Certain Proof of Stake based Consensus mechanism esp those that require high minimum amount of stake/coins from participants to participate in full consensus violate alot of the basic ideals of well decentralized cryptocurrency
We both know that mining on mobile phones isn't realistic, there is no way a real algorithm won't run through the mobile GPU or CPU and for the fact that you will run the miner for 24/7 will eventually damage the mobile phone, maybe in future there will be better tech that will make this possible |

Mostly are defi projects. There was a recent project but just like OP many investors missed to invest to it because it wasnt hyped so much while its still on the ICO. Name of the project is POOLZ. It might just be what OP is looking for because as holder, you can also stake the token.
Projects today are mostly just listed on Uniswap,mitsmeasy to just do it there and it gives chance for users to earn through liquidity.
Few projects started their journey on uniswap and became fully successful later, just because a project get listed on Uniswap doesn't mean it should be underestimated, I still remember YOUC in 2020, it delivers unexpectedly even when it was listed on very low exchanges including uniswap dont forget that most defi platforms have no working application in the market. if you will noticed, a lot of them are in beta stage. i dont think they will ever get out of beta. so that's my issue with DeFis, only few platforms have working application. a lot of them are merely manipulated in uniswap. i am sure most of these defi tokens will die very soon. once the hype is over, we will see that one by one, those defi projects will exit from the stage. wont suggest any project, whether defi or ieo or ico, it is the responsibility of the investor to check the potential of those projects. That's too quick to judge, I've regretted my decision by judging few DeFi projects in 2020 and today they have get out of beta stage already and add more listings, it's not really about the DeFi part itself but it's all about what type of team are handling the project |

There are still interesting new upcoming projects in crypto space today, it depends how how you do your own research on the new projects, here are few interesting new projects I know about, also know that this isn't an investment advice, DYOR
1. Marlin protocol
2. Router Protocol
3. Persistence
4. PAID
5. PolkaCover

Until further notice probably, who cares anyway? SEC won't be able to f**k XRP up I believe, also XRP is the first top project that SEC will go after, I don't know why people panicked because of SEC, XRP is not a top altcoin project for nothing sake, it's not that weak

I know guidar and tronipay but I don't see any potential in this projects anymore, it's true they can become profitable in near future due to altcoin season but the chances are small because the present altcoin season might abandoned weak projects anyway, I also suggest you use escrow instead, you can't expect people to just trust you and send their tokens to you

Crypto is very likely to be more expensive and preferable, but I don't think it's possible to be more valuable than gold. Traditional investors as well as the government/state even make gold a state reserve where it is a high level of confidence in an asset
Gold is more reliable and less Profitable when put side by side to crypto, bitcoin is now more valuable than gold but it's highly volatile, there is a big difference here, another point of mine is gold is not as scarce as bitcoin, we already know bitcoin max supply but not gold, it's why bitcoin beats gold already |

Yes you can buy mining rigs or build one yourself, don't mind those talking about POS algorithm, also the EIP 1559 is still not working yet, this can take longer than expected, the ETH CEO have been talking about the POS algorithm for years and nothing happened

Sounds like fun but I don't think it's worth it unless you are in possession of the gears and equipment, I find using solar energy to mine much more interesting and better than using normal electricity, this is just my own thought, I mine using solar panels and used batteries

No it's too late, the dag file is over 4gb right now I believe, it's not going to be profitable anymore, now a RX470 with 4gb memory can only do 15mh per second, it's better to sell your gpu or start mining other algorithms

Guys is betterhash available on Linux OS or a complete separate OS? Also can I flash bios and overclock graphic cards through betterhash like hiveOS and Minerstat OS? Ive never used this software before and I'm looking into it right now

I'm tempted to go with the cheapest ryzen cpu when Vega launches (Ideally 4C4T, but it might not launch before vega). It brings some XMR mining ability, the ability to cpu mine new coins and handle high cpu load unoptimized miners (like in the early days of zcash) and imo, slower depreciation and easier resell of the cpu and mobo. It will be good to know if 6 gpus work. If you have interest in CPU mining on Monero it's better you buy high end Ryzen gpu like Ryzen 9 5950X or 5900X, don't buy any Ryzen CPU that's lower than the RYZEN 9 Variants, but honestly this CPU are too costly, enough money to build a entire gpu mining rig |

With EIP 1559 mining won't be profitable anymore and this will also adjust the high gas fee on Ethereum network but where I'm confused is why we are told that Ethereum is switching to POS this year and nothing happened and now all buterin can come up with is EIP 1559
