Not sure what's up with this all of the above would take a long time to roi but the gpu's and the eth network keeps growing.

Revenue for ETH per GH/s has dropped like a rock too, it's almost 33% of what it was in the last peak in August and will drop more, there are a lot of poeple who've bought both gear and card and they will mine with them even if its for pennies.
Almost the same with BTC but the curve it's way smaller here because of the entering price for gear and the power requirements.

Despite the whole madness with Kazakhstan seems like the hashrate is almost flat and no change on the horizon, + 0.32 % on Xmas, + 0.41 % a few days ago,

Quote
Latest Block:   718078  (a few seconds ago)
Current Pace:   99.6884%  (383 / 384.20 expected, 1.2 behind)
Next Difficulty Change:   between -0.1912% and -0.0658%

and this now. One fast block and we're at 0!
At 21 cents per TH/s that S19j Bitmain offers needs one full year of this flat diff and zero cents per kWh to ROI.


That's why I have all old asic gear and do not buy it.

Roi is over a year on any new gear and warranties are short.

ON gpus roi of say 18 months but a legit 3 year warranty.
on gpus gear rarely breaks.

Since Jan 1 2020 over 200 gpus 2 broke got rmas and I had to replace a few fans on two other gpus.

so 196-2-2

on asics

60-30-15

60 work 30 died 15 needed fans.

no one fixes the gear. (well fix rate is poor)

just bought the zotac rtx 3090 trinity , but waiting for the power supply for the first run
how much mh/s would i expect with factory settings?


105 to 120 which depends on cooling of the ram on the backplate

I use simple mining os and get 111 mh/s

core -100
ram   800
watts 290
temp 70
fan.   80

in a minerdude case in a cool room

7783  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Just got 2 pny rtx a4500 cards on: January 11, 2022, 11:03:16 PM
These are good cards.

But the current prices are too high.

84 -85 mh at 185 watts is good.

they fit very nice in the miner dude 12 card racks.


https://minerdude.com/product/x12012022/


12 x 185 = 2220 watts add 200 for fans and mobo you pull 2420 watts against psu's that can do 3600 watts.

the 12 card rig would do 12 x 84 = about 1gh

of course they are hard to get and cost too much.

I had the chance to get six for 12900 which is too much money

I got 2 for 4300 just for evaluation for us miners.

My advice/guess is they are worth 2 for 3000 no more.

Which means if I could get them at that price I would buy 10 more and have the minerdude rig filled up.

instead I got these 2 and I got an 81th asic miner by avalon to mine btc

I dropped 4300 + 7200 = 11500 I think both are over priced and won't be much more gear buying for now.

anyone else get them?

Hi, I hope I don't break any rules by creating a new topic for this. I want to invest 1500 euro (1700usd)  in a mining rig. I would like to hear if someone has suggestions about the timing. And here are the components tha I can get in germany for that money.

GPU: 6GB MSI GeForce RTX 2060 VENTUS ( X2 )
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RAM
PSU: 1200 Watt be quiet! PSU
M: MSI B450-A Pro MAX AMD AM4
CPU: AMD Athlon 3000G 2x 3.50GHz
SSD: SSD 120GB

Thank you for reading this, and your time. I really appreciate it! Thanks.


it is too expensive

also this belongs in altcoins I will ask the mods to move it.
7791  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GPU scarcity finally going away? on: January 09, 2022, 02:15:03 PM
To me it doesn't look like mining with GPUs will fade away this year unless a heavy bear market takes over the market, if ETH goes down to 2500$ then it's trouble for miners but anything over 3000$ is still fair enough to me so don't get your hopes too high
Over the past 7 years, mining has been the best business to invest in. The return on investment took from 5 months. It is difficult to find a similar business without considering an illegal business.
Businesspeople who see this as the future are now investing in solar, wind and other green energy options.
And the profit of small miners strongly depends on the cost of electricity in their home.

yes we have been able to build

a 45 kwatt solar array
a 115 kwatt solar array
a 280 kwatt solar array

440 kwatt is grid tied so

440/5 = 88

440/6 = 73.3

73 to 88 kwatts 24/7/365 of cost free power

we will be trying for a bigger solar array in 2022 or 2023

goal is to have 2 megawatts which is

2000/5 = 400.00
2000/6 = 333.33

333 to 400 kwatts 24/7/365 of free power.
7792  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: S19 fan spec? on: January 09, 2022, 02:10:25 PM
The specs I suggested would be if you are removing the original fans and replacing them with ducts and duct fan(s). If you are not removing the fans on the miner, then the specs are a lot lower since all you need to do is deliver the max airflow the miner will require and only overcome the static pressure of your ducts and filter.

The 10" AC infinity fan lists a static pressure spec of 1059 Pa, which is 108 mmH2O, so I'd guess it has a good chance of working if your ducts aren't too long.

as an aside that fan has a speed control which will allow you to reduce speed if needed.

Duct size reduction = less air flow  so maybe you can just run the fan at full speed.

if the ducts are 20 feet long you may need a booster fan near the exit at the window.

Yeah 2021 was very good to me both $$$ and BTCBTCBTC wise.

Not in the league of many others  on the thread but I finally could end up as JJG say with f you money.

Maybe in 2 years  I would be there.
7794  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 08, 2022, 11:19:20 PM
Of course, these are not easy choices regarding how much to shave off.. just for insurance purposes, and yeah, the end of 2019 was surely not a good time to be shaving off too many BTC for insurance purposes (or consumption or tax purposes), and maybe just a period for HODL and to get funds from other sources.
I have to correct something: I typed the wrong year, and fixed my post: it was the end of 2020 when I sold a substantial part to pay taxes, not 2019. That was around 75% under the peak price. Still not desirable, but better than 2019 would have been.

Just paid my largest tax bill ever.

glad I sold enough in the 62-67k range to cover them.

You pay estimated? Good practice, quite big fees if you underpay by April (and do it two years in a row).
I always pay whatever turbotax tells me to pay as estimated PLUS if a big sell happened, then add estimated cap gains tax for that Q.

Yeah estimated it is.  and last quarter mmpool.org hit 3 blocks of which I collected bigly. So I had to pay more for the last quarter than the first 3 combined. Had to redo all my tax moves due to the extra BTC

oh jump was  under 1%
price is 40K
Of course it is, I bought a bit at 42k. Seems to be how that goes each time I buy Tongue
Of course it doesn't change that fact that BTC will recover but it is always bothersome knowing I could have a gotten a bit more if I were more aggressive on the buy trigger price. cest' la vie

$50 daily buy has been in since late Nov.

Will continue it for a while.

Slight off topic but here goes

I hate Eth but I mine it cash it for cash and trade it for btc.

I had a source for

Nvidia A2000

sold out from Jan 2 to Jan 3 gone


Nvidia A4000

4 day wait is now 4 month wait



Nvidia A5000

 they are all sold out. From Jan 2 to Jan 6

This was a major seller they sold 1000's of them in under a week.

and Eth hashrate grows bigger and bigger so they really sold gear.

Well bitmain offers  a 104th s19 for weeks not sold out and the net work is not growing much.

https://shop.bitmain.com/product/detail?pid=00020211108151254046rPQ0VCqe069D


Not sure what's up with this all of the above would take a long time to roi but the gpu's and the eth network keeps growing.

Maybe it is just tha NVIDIA has a ton of chips and bitmain does not

Well we're back to the price we were at last year at this time which means there's a year's worth of really tasty dip to be had!

7798  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: My new year advice to crypto newbies on: January 08, 2022, 09:03:48 PM
1. It's always good to follow your heart and nothing else, struggle till you break through but always know your limit

2. There is something that's more powerful than we humans and that's our fate, not everyone will get rich even if they struggle all the days of their life, things will surely get better but not everyone will achieve their aims as they wanted.

3. My advice is start from somewhere and move up step by step, do not rush and do not find short cuts

4. Crypto can make you rich overnight or even make you more poorer that's why you need to learn first before jumping into any crypto investment.

5. Risk only what you can afford to lose and avoid staring at your portfolio when they are at a very high value, they won't stay the same for long so you are expected to take profits

6. Don't be scared of bear market they are a blessing in disguise, it's always a time to buy when they come around

7. Don't become a holder if you can't even feed yourself daily, you need a job more than becoming a crypto holder, holders must have other means of making money so they can hold with ease

8. Not all coins and tokens you hold will do well in few years time, the unexpected can happen to good projects with good utilities too

9. Use crypto hypes to your own advantage, the trending use cases always bring profits more than utilities that aren't trending presently

10. Apart from crypto forums that hold answers to how to start your crypto journey 99% of PM from strangers are advantage takers, they are there to use you or Rob you don't give them a chance


Finally coinmarketcap and coingecko are 100% accurate when it comes to finding the official website of a particular token or coin, all information are legit 100%, this is a perfect way to avoid fake project groups or fake tokens smart contract


# 1 does follow your heart mean follow your first instinct?

if so it is more than 50% correct for most every person.

Second guessing = you do not belong in the game.


My biggest thing is pace yourself.

If you buy something be able to buy it at least 4 dips.  say 30 to 25 to 20 to 15 to10

if you do not feel that strongly about some thing then do not buy it in the first place.


and remember this in the long run say 125+ years we will be dead so do not take this too seriously. As none of us will exit life alive.

I actually did look into it and my conclusion is that the biggest fear is when the bear market is starting.
Here I drew lines where Fear&Greed hit 10 or went below . This tool is more usefoul in short term trading rather long term.

I got some Tasty 40k dip today

95%+ of WO'ers had no clue who that is, because they aren't old enough to have actually seen a movie that he was in. They had to google who he was.

I'm glad to be one of the 5% who knows who it is - so even though Sidney Poitier may have been in the shadow of great actors like Katharine Hepburn & Spencer Tracy in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967), I personally remember him from that film in which he has achieved one of his best roles for me personally.
