Youre not fooling anyone, your power isnt free. You just paid for it up front and have how many decades before you get ROI on it? How much equipment will you have to replace before the ROI day comes? Hmmm
FYI, some solar panels and inverters out there have 25 years of warranty, while most average at around 10 years of warranty. Guess how long it takes to ROI a simple grid-tied solar installation? 4-5 years. Good luck to you chumps. Anyone not investing in solar is missing out. Just get a simple enough solar system that supports your household consumption. Yup. Can consider Tesla's Solar! https://www.tesla.com/energy. 25 years warranty, useful life span of 35 years.  too expensive compared to other solar options |

There's some pretty damn good deals going for RX 580s right now on Newegg and basically everywhere- I'd suggest looking at Reddit's /r/buildapcsales for news on card deals including Vegas and RX X70/X80 cards, like this MK2 RX 580 8GB on the US Newegg site for $299 + $20 Steam GC. Profitability definitely is dropping right now for GPU mining as a whole, but so are card prices, too. I'm personally not touching GPUs until things get better with profitability, as I see everything as high risk and low reward in GPU mining right now, but it's your call in the end to buy GPUs or not. those are not good deals , most of my gpus rx series were purchased for $170 ti $240 max , and at that time profits and diff were way lower |

Think I might wait til I start seeing $399 prices, picking up some very cheap RX 580s off ebay and rolling the dice on their longevity for now.
just bought 3x Gigabyte RX580GAMING-8GD-MI today. for $350 each  The Gigabyte cards are terrible, at least from my experience. Hash low and run hot. yeah the gigabytes are trash thus the lower price |

Got into an argument with somone over the fact I belive all non forked algos
other than x16r snd c7 , the new Phi version and CN heavy have large amounts of FPGA
and ASIC hash , hidden or public.
He disagrees saying Neoscrypt is fully asic resistant, does anyone have data on popular Neoscrypt
coins like Vtc and thier hash rate rise over the last 12 months months?
My new thing is to use 50% of my hash on coins and algos that dont have asics yet since
even with low profit i can get twice or morw of the amount of rewards so it plays well long term

i love vegas, the cheap powecolor ones are hit or miss tho, they have shit hynix mem and max out
at 1850 or so h/s on v7 , id buy reference cards if u can find them

Hello guys, heartbreaking "news". Sadly neighbours got pissed about the noise: I have 4 weeks to dismantle everything  Accepting offers for the whole build (or all the machines), send PM's if interested. ( Sally is still mining VRM right now, this rate at 4.8 VRM/DAY. So I'll still leave it mining until I possibily can.) wow that sucks , is it really that loud? Is there nothing you can do? p.s do u ship to usa, I don't know what else I can do, surely the metal walls of my garage are not helping reducing the nois, but it's less noisy than an antminer s9. I live in an apartment where garages entries are shared with 20 other peoples, if during one condominium meeting even one of these people says no, I have to remove everything. And that's what happened, two peoples said they dont' want it. And my garage is my garage, is private area. This literally sucks, especially if I think about how much time i've invested in this.  you could buy soundproofing from amazon maybe? Im lucky my mining operation has not been shut down by my neighbors as well those exhaust fans are really loud If it was just for the sound...new apartments rules now says none can have electric equipment running in the basement or a non controlled area. You know, fire and bla bla..Sally is filled up with fuses and check, there's no way, it can't burn.  ahh , your only option then is to sell or move then |

hey guys one quick question
how is your $2 per day doorstopper doing?
lol this thread used to be heavily followed and posted too, same as the D3 , A3 and B3 I think the silence you hear is the sound of doorstop status being reached congrats geniuses, no one can outsmart bitmain , if they are selling you gear ot means its going to be worthless in 3 months or less but like the say : the fewl and his money are soon parted 😂 |

does it work with enemyminer and sg miner and allow an easy way to switch pools or coins/algo like
x16r to x16s on the fly for selected rigs in a list ?

last 2 payouts from UPOOL 5 per ASIC  yes i have 4 D3 from bitmain sitting in the corner of the room --- ive used them for parts (fans and wires ) ... worth pennies !!!!! how I fell for it again I just don't know -- keep trying to tell ppl to stop buying these asics but then the asic purists start screaming gpus are just as bad etc asic is the future lol , at least a gpu has more use than strip for fans lol than these asic doorstoppers. next X3 is soo to hit doorstop status joining D3,A3 and now this B3 next models shouls be called Doorstop3 . ppl never learn tho 🤦🏿♂️ |

are you going to fork off asics?

Marvell2 I would like to join your pool but you are not taking messages from newbies?
@Oracle one here is a discord invite https://discord.gg/gMwatIm adding some scrypt , x11 ports and the new lux algo when they fix thier issues |

Can someone give me a recap of what happened with zoin? Why was there a transfer to Nix?
Zoin was dropping like a stone until early april, then a scam emerged where Zoin got pumped under the pretext that you were getting this new Nix coin. Now Zoin is worthless and so is probably Nix. Game over, to bad for those who got scammed. hopefully what you are saying is false, is there any link to the zoin and nix discords ? |

Zec won't fork, at least for Batch1. Bitmain's already paid them. Thats why if you look at the price point of the Z9 batch 1 it started immediately at $2000 compared to the E3's initial price at $800. They couldn't buy Ethereum. It actually says about the dev teams. Ethereum is incorruptible, but Zec is a shitload of money hungry sluts.
You make some pretty good points. theres no proof that zec team got paid its a rumor, ppl are even saying eth team got paid all that makes no sense these devs have millions upon millions, they don’t need any money from bitmain |

Problems abound due to the huge fall runup.
Bitmain saw really big profits last year.
So much so they got ideas on what to do with excess profits.
I find it very interesting that innosilicon now has
A better zec miner more hash less power.
A better decred miner more hash less power.
A better sia miner more hash less power.
A better sha miner more hash less power.
As compared to bitmain.
Yeah bitmain is cheaper but the specs are better for innosilicon.
This kind of proves how ridiculous it is that people are howling for hardforks every time a new asic comes out. Obviously they are butthurt that their GPUs will no longer be as profitable. But when multiple companies are making ASIC miners and competing with each other, how exactly does that cause centralization? No different than only 2 GPU companies competing. The notion of decentralization based on expensive and inefficient but widely available (though availability is a subjective term) GPUs is kind of idiotic. It would almost be like rules requiring all prospectors to use pans from the 1800s for gold mining because its more fair than large companies with industrial equipment. I ask for no nasty attacks you did a nasty attack I deleted this. This thread is not to say asics rule gpus suck and fpga's are tripping .. All three have a place in the game. I don't want to discuss why the game fails without all three and even cpus are needed for the game to work. If you choose to be all asic good it is your choice. If you choose to be inclusive also good that is your choice. If you choose to insult gpu miners in this thread or insult asic miners or insult fpga miners or insult cpu miners with terms like butthurt or idiotic I delete it. back to the thread. solar has some value in smaller ops off grid. buysolar has spent months looking for a good inverter converter power source for a 1000 to 1600 watt setup. My push is in this direction here is why. Lets take sha-256 asics I own t1 avalon 841 s9 s9i on the way. all of them run about 92 to 110 watts per th the new go B2 lists at 81 watts per th. even if bitmain and avalon do 7nm they will not go much better then 75 watts per 1 th. so do some math if the solar setup I get built comes to 4 cent a kwatt over ten years vs 10 cents a watt buying from a hosting service. it is viable to run a 110 watt per th miner vs a 75 watt per th miner. So the game goes back to low power cost = winner winner chicken dinner. Sorry if I offended you Phil. I wasn't attacking anyone or any style of mining. In fact, I don't own ASICs or FPGAs, only GPUs and CPUs. Let me rephrase my point; I think its shortsighted and misinformed to want a coin to hardfork simply because an Nvidia or AMD GPU is no longer the most cost effective way to mine. lol why ? you think it’s shortsighted, but give no explanation for your reasoning, leme guess becuase nothing you could come up with makes any sense. There is zero benifit to letting asics canabalize a tokens network It defeats the whole point of decentralization |

Yes, but let's dust off the MagikSmoke 8 ball and look at the next few months:
-snip-
Great analysis and summary of GPU outlook overall. This should be stickied for all those still asking "will GPU mining still be profitable?" I'd like to get your opinion though, does this mean to you that the best time to sell GPUs would be today? I'm asking because i'm curious if we can still ride out our GPUs for 1 or 2 more months before the shit hits the fan. I'm pretty happy with ROI and all the coins i already have for long-term holding. I sold off my 1070's. Sold off my RX 480s. I reduced my 1080 Ti's but keeping some, and keeping my Vega's for now. I do think 1080 Ti's are not going to go to $0 any time soon but I do keep a watch on eBay. If you've gotten your purchase price back out of them, not as big an issue. Never had an ASIC miner until this year, and boy has that been a turn off. I ordered one of the Senseless modded FPGAs. Happy to share with the group how that goes once I get it. In the meantime, I've got to dig out a small manual I put together on how to setup a *small* solar system. I'll post it when I find it. It's not that difficult to do on a small scale. There are some good YouTube videos on how to make the connections, etc. The tools needed are cheap: Harbor Freight crimping tool, bulk connectors from ebay (China Post), inverters depending on what you want to do, or battery controllers. Main advice is this: if you buy panels, get the largest wattage that are cheap. Don't waste your money on 100w panels. Start with a 200+w or 300w panel. There are some crazy sales on those every now and then. CargoLargo was dumping a bunch a few years ago, and that kind of opportunity is not uncommon. And remember that DC only travels a short distance before significant losses; AC travels much further -- so place your inverters on or close to the panels, do the long runs with AC. For 2018, here is what I like: smaller honest pools like what Marvell2 has done. I'd like to see others in the group follow. Solar power where you can fit it in like Phil has been mentioning. And I do think FPGAs are going to be the next wave, but that's just my educated guess. YMMV. Oh, and screw Bitmain. I kept an open mind on them until I experienced up close and personal how they work. How can a billion $ + company have such completely crappy service? Wonders never cease. Edit: Please no more of these "kudos" to Vorrick or for that matter Zooko. Tools, nothing more than tools... we Try to get 200-230 watt panels at 20 cents a watt or less. We can do this at auctions of new old stock. http://sepbatteries.com/ecosolargy-230w-poly-crystalline-solar-module?gclid=CjwKCAjw9e3YBRBcEiwAzjCJuolmm5yZWCBbii562Sy355bQTVhVhQZCgbk4m4QsQCvCwwwL5c7LMxoCsYYQAvD_BwEwe sometimes get this under 50 bucks. 7 at 50 give 1600 watts for 350 usd it is about 3 by 5 well 39 inch by 64 inch you need 7 of them to run an s9 for about 5 hours a day http://sepbatteries.com/trina-310-watt-tsm-310pd14?gclid=CjwKCAjw9e3YBRBcEiwAzjCJutlBzUkSK_DiijhNqGCna7eU7Zg0Va-bNCJ6om25iqvOLIgyzJiqjhoCDhMQAvD_BwEthis one cost more hard to get under 100 it is about 3 by 6 5 of these would be a 15 by 6 foot row. and provide about 1500 watts 5 hours a day . cost of 500 the key is find deals have space for a row. you need an inverter/converter plus some wires. if you have a spot and get this setup for 1000 bucks you could see 7.5 kwatts a day for more then 10 years that is 7.5 x 365 x 10 = 27000 kwatts of prepaid power so to speak. So is it worth it ? well it makes mining gear of any kind earn money since the power cost is up front. if you get 27,000 kwatts for 1000 you paid under 4 cents a kwatt. as this project goes on our goal will be well priced panels and well priced converter/inverter as a diy kit. I have multiple photos of a doghouse to house the miners https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4415357.msg39741539#msg39741539that doghouse setup is well under 100 bucks. So since the row of solar is say 15 by 6 or maybe 18 by 5 the doghouse size is not much of an issue. the panels I show above are too costly at those links. the 230 watt is listed for 101 usd it needs to be 50 usd or less the 310 watt is listed for 145 usd it needs to be 100 usd or less you need a 1600 watt inverter/converter with good warranty. buysolar has 7 230 watts panels wired I have the doghouse setup we are waiting on inverters. to fully test. As a small system 1400 to 1800 watts would be max. to be practical. no grid tie no battery and 4 hours north 6.0 kwatts 5 hours less north 7.5 kwatts 6 hours more south 9.0 kwatts. We are sure about the enclosure we are sure about the panels eth wires etc all pretty sure. inverter/converter is our unknown it needs to be good and not costly and water resistant /proof Im definitely going solar myself in a year or two, ill probably buy all the hardware and find someone to install it, I have a large roof, garage and also plan on building a mining shed to house more solar stuff. My only concern is grid tie in and stuff like that for permits .. that and finding a competent installer |

Was sad to wake up and see the huge sell off. Not sure why it was so drastic. By the time most people trasferred from the core wallet the price must have been super low. Ahh well. I'm keeping my little zoinies in the core wallet for the time being. Fuck selling at -70%  yup my zoin is gona sit in my wallet for a while it seems, these dummiez have not even seen nixx listed or received thier airdrop and they are dumping for peanuts, there are so many noobs and idiots in cryto these days anyone with half a brain is gona get rich soon |
