Am I missing something here? XEC is eCash right, is that the one you are talking about? If so isn't that PoS and not PoW, so you wouldn't even use any hardware to "mine" more XEC. rather you would stake to get rewards like every other PoS protocol, no?
As far as I know it was a mineable coin as I have seen philipma1967 talking about using 25% of his power from a couple of miners or a bit less to mine some several thousand of this coin daily.I think it should still be mineable but the OP is saying some miner that does not consume a lot of energy and most Sha algorithm miners are energy intensive in consume so I don't know for example any 500-700 watt to mine this algorithm pretty well. he can mine it with an s15 set the s15 to low setting it is fairly efficient. I have 7,500,000 xec from my s15 but that splits 3 ways. we have them ladder listed at coinex. 750,000 at a dollar 750,000 at 50 cents 750,000 at 10 cents 750,000 at. 5 cents 750,000 at. 1 cent hodl the rest. 1 th earns 2200 xec a day. the s15 on low earns 23x that about 50000 xec a day. |

I first just want to thank everyone for the responses. I know what it’s like being both a vet and a noob in forums, and I respect and appreciate the maturity level here.
I’m definitely not trying to root my own horn but I haven’t had a single issue with my current rig of mixed cards since I set it up in September or October of last year. I understand that more parts simply equals more chances of stuff going wrong, and I also understand the importance of the difference between cutting costs and cutting corners.
I hope y’all don’t hate this, but I bot the graphics cards. I’ve sold so many it’s wild. I plan to buy at $650 max and bot as many as I can. To the guy who’s going to say “good luck getting them at $650,” save it.
I didn’t state this in the original but I will be getting a recurring percentage for my time, with no monetary investment. So I’m eager is what I’m getting at.
I will look into many of the suggestions you all have provided. I know it will be open air frame no close enclosures like someone linked.
Server psu’s are new to me but I understand the lm and the breakouts boards.
In terms of ease of use, and I know I got some suggestions already, just probing in case others see this, what psu and mobo would you use if I wanted to try and set up 10-12 3060ti founders pin each? In my mind, 1 larger psu makes more sense than two smaller. Again, suggestions or recommendations?
Thank you all!
Gave you a merit since you followed up. 90,000/650 = 138 cards burning 135 watts = 19320 watts add 1000 more for mobos say 20-21k watts about 80-85k but you will need a lot of air to cool it. I would get the closed cases but if you want open air you can try |

Which is why I steered him to the minerdude cases loaded with smos software.
100k in 3060ti fe cards is more than 60 maybe as much as 100 cards depends on the price he gets.
the 12 card cases will run 12 cards each and do it easy peasy.
His issues will be does he have the power to do this and can he cool the room
60 cards will pull over 8000 watts = 32000 btu of heat
100 cards will pull over 13000 watts. = 52000 btu of heat
Holy mother of God, that's 3.6GH I believe, this is a high-risk investment right now because the crypto bear market is just getting started, things will look very messy as time goes on, ETH can probably go down to 1500$ again, 8000watts is not something I can afford 😆.. Either ways lets keep mining and supports others that plan to stay in this game till next halving season. well he mentions 100k worth of 3060ti FE cards the one below on ebay says new and non lhr https://www.ebay.com/itm/284788374901?768 on ebay good seller so 100,000/800 = 125 cards but the cases I told him to get are about 1200 so 10 are 12000 thus 90000/800 = 112 cards or 112 x 58 = 6.5 gh of hash and maybe 16000 watts |

Well I have more than 16 3090's some as old as 14 months they all work and range at 105 to 115 mh
temps are 90c-101c. I just use extra fans to cool.

I am USA based I can get a good deal in Canada and I won't do it because their PM is very anti BTC and the last thing I need to do is setup a 1 megawatt container in Canada subject to their wims and fancies.
I will never open a mining operation in New York for the same reason even though it's convenient for me! Yes, their electricity is cheap and the weather is colder, but is it worth fighting a bunch of old buereaucrats downstate who are alumni of Goldman/JPMorganChase/Citi who trash PoW as well as decentralized currencies? Hell no! Texas it is 🤠 We have the solar angle here in NJ which makes it decent. We may build in nearby PA in carbondale as we can get 1 megawatt at 4 cents, but it is coal based power. |

I found out that it's not that important, I grabbed a gtx 1660 that's not a colourful brand and removed the same diodes at the back and this GPU works as well, lol very funny 😄, I hope my curiosity won't land me in problem someday, I have resoldered the diodes and keep mining anyways.
thanks for the follow up gave you some merits. |

UGH are we dropping under 35k tonight or what? |

I use a B250C motherboard and I can vouch for this motherboard, it supports 12 graphic cards like a piece of cake in a manner of plug and play, get a server power supply they are more accurate, I don't like 3080s because of high temp in today's weather, they aren't very friendly with heat, can you look into A2000 graphic card if you can get these at good price go for tbem.
he has 3060 ti fe cards non lhr he does not need cards. @ op the cases I gave are best since you will have maybe 60 cards and 5 cases. smos will allow you to run the gear from any place in the world. don't be stupid cheap and just do it the way I said you won't regret the setup. |

If you lived in Russia, you would understand the risks that you need to consider when transferring mining equipment to other companies. Therefore, in Russia we mine in our homes or other safe places.

Second is that there are new gen video cards being released soon so people are waiting for those.
Miners who are waiting for next-gen cards will be disappointed. But you're right about the newer cards being very useful to gamers because of the high TFLOPs. So if gamers currently are 60% of the buyers of the market and they're waiting, that would drive prices down. Third is inflation and recession risk. People are saving their money for the worst to come due to the way the economy is going.
I disagree, because the type of people who are interested in GPU mining tend to be either college kids who spend mommy's money or upper-class technology workers. These folks aren't affected by inflation. If a recession happens, they need to worry about the value of their real estate or stock shares going down more than their mining rigs. Cryptocurrency may be an inflation hedge. I know this is not the economics or speculation section but crypto currencies are not a inflation hedge. It seems like it should be however crypto currencies and Bitcoin especially are correlated with the stock market. Especially the nasdaq index. Plot a chart of Bitcoin and nasdaq side by side and you will see they follow each other very closely. So since inflation is up, the interest rates will rise, which will cause stocks to fall and crypto will follow. It basically is considered a risk on asset. For now it is. But it won't be down the road. |

What about Minerstat? It has a decent alert feature. The price is $1.50/month per rig if you have multiple rigs & choose a 6-month subscription. That isn't too bad considering Minerstat has profit switching and is superior to SMOS.
profit switching is a negative feature as it serves to flatten prices of coins. |

I hate fucking deer.
Well, you should not be doing that anyhow. #justsaying Short and to the point. One of the best posts you have ever made.  you forgot to add @nohomoand this post is an accidental buddy blocker  |

TL;DR imho, replace advisors with VTSAX. It would simplify things and they (Vanguard) provide a nice PAL (pledged asset line) against it, I heard.
Fuck that. QQQ is a better performer. The Schwab Intelligent portfolios also have been performing incredibly well for me, and will ibe topping those off plus a bit extra. Probably going to put off building the house a year out there, but the barn should be going up pretty soon now, FWIW. Related: Caught a photo of these two fuckers roaming around the pasture - Waiting for things to dry up before they finish off that section of road. Fun times.  Caught this pair on the other side of the property.  #blessed kill them as fast as you can. I had one smash though my windshield back in 1999 almost killed me. I hate fucking deer. Other than freshly killed dressed and roasted for me to eat.🧌 |

Power is Power,
Money is also Power.
So, if you're too choose one, what you down for ?
Power or Money ?
Power will always allow you to acquire money. Money does not always allow you to acquire power. So if you force me to choose I pick power. Personally I don’t look for either I let things be whatever they will be. |

Study oil prices in the 1970s.
opec locked them down and went sideways for years.
we have been in a 30-70 slot since dec 2020.
we are mirroring the 1970s.
but not exactly.
high inflation = yes
high interest = no
high real estate = yes.
I feel inflation causes need to hedge
low bank interest causes the need for a different hedge
in this case the hedge is real estate. big profits and gains here in usa.
in both eras stock market traded in a slot say the dow at 500-1100 up and down.
we could simply drift along for next year plus.
