The biggest issue I had with power connectors was always with the modular PSUs and the +12V would typically melt. Usually the GND was always fine but the +12V had a tendency to easily melt.
No idea why. Maybe because I plugged and unplugged too many times and it widened the female connection or maybe the pins were sitting at an angle instead of being flush and straight. No idea.
Rarely did I have issues on the other end where it connects to the GPU. So it wasn’t like this faulty connector mentioned in this article.
I also had problems with different power supplies, but mostly fires and burnouts occur due to bad or oxidized contacts. And I have never liked hot video cards, because with more power there are always more problems when mining. |

Something is up. the price for a 3090 is 457
on eBay the cheapest one is 699
if I sell my card on eBay fees would be 150
I would clear 550 and worry about issues
457 is tempting price
I have 20 cards
Of course, I envy that the prices for video cards are so high in the USA, but even if you sell 20 PTX 3090 video cards, you will have to pay extra and buy 20 new video cards, which now have nothing to mine with such a large payback. And commissions on eBay are very high. But you can try the trade-in program with 1 video card. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI-soO7_l_M&ab_channel=HardwareBusters12V-2×6 Connector First Test - 660W & NOT Fully into the Socket! A few months ago it became known that PCI-SIG was developing a new 12V-2x6 power connector, which should replace the fire-hazardous 12VHPWR. And today the results of the first public test of the new connector appeared online.
It was conducted by the authors of the YouTube channel HardwareBusters. Specialists visited the Linewell laboratory, which produces power cables for many well-known video card manufacturers. There they ran a series of tests on the connector and connectors, attempting to simulate the most common scenarios that would cause a 12VHPWR to melt.
First, experts tested the connector in normal operation, applying 660 W of power to it. And after 50 minutes of stress testing, the 12V-2x6 only reached 46.5°C. Then the specialists began trying to melt the connector using incorrectly connected connectors and strong bending of the cable. But even in this mode, the 12V-2x6 was able to easily maintain a power of 640 W, heating up only to 42 °C.https://t.me/HomishTG/6219

Did you buy it new from Bitmain or new from somebody else?
There are a lot of miners out there now that are 'new' from places that are doing really nice refurbs and unless you really look close or know what to look at it's tough to tell that they are not fresh out of the box
I just got an L7 from a person who refurbished it and it's sitting in a rack mining, but when I took it out of the box it looked like it just rolled out of the factory. No dust, no dirt, all fans perfect, all boards washed, and so on. Just some discoloration here and there and that fact that I knew it was a well done refurb were the only reasons I would not have said new from Bitmain.

If the ASIC was under repair, then the authorized service center writes in the report that the ASIC was subjected to unqualified repairs. But the main thing is to contact the client and check where he sent the ASIC for repair. And if the service center does not write the reason in the inspection report, that means they have doubts. |

ASIC S9 has not been used in mining for a long time, even with the availability of free electricity.
With such ASICs, you will spend more time on constant repairs and troubleshooting, and in the end there will be no profit.
ASIC S19 with firmware can be used at an electricity price of 4 cents.

Vitalik Buterin previews a future built on Ethereum
Permissionless: Ethereum co-founder urges attendees in Austin to keep an eye on the frontier of what’s possible with crypto techCrypto-based solutions have the potential to be more decentralized, privacy-preserving and secure than the current Web2 landscape, according to Buterin, citing building blocks such as ENS, various proof-of-humanity ideas, and POAPs — or a next generation version using zero-knowledge technology that will be even better — and Gitcoin Passport, as examples.
“The big dream here is to like, really create an independent open tech stack,” Buterin said. Something to compete with the likes of Google and Twitter, without going down a closed, centralized system such as China’s tight integration of Wechat, Alipay and increasingly CBDC.https://blockworks.co/news/vitalik-buterin-future-built-ethereum

Newegg has introduced a GPU trade-in initiative, providing gamers with the opportunity to exchange their old graphics cards for a predetermined monetary value. Typically, such trade-in programs may not be the optimal choice compared to personally selling the card. However, there is a group of gamers who would rather prefer to avoid the complexities of selling their cards independently, opting for the convenience of a third-party service. This specific group is the primary target of this new program.
It’s important to note that not all graphics cards will qualify for trade-in, as the eligibility is determined by the SKU and a list curated by Newegg. It appears that only GeForce RTX 20/30 and Radeon 5000/6000 models are currently eligible for trade-in. Additionally, the value may vary depending on the card’s condition, with Newegg potentially reducing the offered amount accordingly.
According to Newegg’s posted list, the RTX 3090 is valued at $561, while the RX 6950XT can yield $375 when traded in. It’s worth mentioning that Newegg sells refurbished RTX 3090 cards starting at $831, representing a substantial markup of approximately 48%. Nevertheless, Newegg assumes responsibility for the entire reselling process.https://videocardz.com/newz/newegg-announces-gpu-trade-in-program-up-to-561-for-rtx-3090-and-375-for-rx-6950xt I think that Newegg has become insolent and wants to make more money by selling used video cards than by selling new ones. Or they want to start mining

Amazing Korean exchange upbit incident today
1. The Largest S.Korean exchange
@Official_Upbit
, abruptly halted Aptos' deposits and withdrawals, citing a wallet system maintenance without any specific reason
2. Various Korean users have posted authentication claiming that they received $APT without sending themselves
3. Reports have emerged that the Upbit customer center has been making phone calls to users who sold the deposited FAKE-APT tokens, requesting refunds.
4. What's so fucked up about this situation is that the deposited tokens are not the native
@Aptos_Network
coin but a scam token called ClaimAPTGift
The only explanation for this situation is that Upbit's wallet system only checked the type and data and processed deposits and withdrawalsScam token's address https://apscan.io/account/0xc4f4e73e689b13799d6a1a52a9db1e0099de2e16967ca9bff97e9946dbedc4e9https://twitter.com/definalist/status/1705900412208029894

What's really happening to Bitcoin is that it could reach a point where miners find it not viable to mine and it will make some of them to switch off their machine, as it is many have already done so. Some people keep screaming out their neck that Bitcoin is finished because of the current price which has been roaming around $26k for some time now and is not going up anytime soon, but I'll say that's never the the case, now is a good time to consider a long term investment. Let's forget the noise people are making out there, those who bought at high price or those who sold due to panicking/fear, the thing is if you understand the technology you would know that the next bull is coming and now is a great time to think about jumping in the market.
Look at the new ASICs, which have very good energy efficiency. I am ready to assume that the cost of mining coins from large miners on such ASICs will not be more than 17-20 thousand dollars, and for another 4 years there is no reason to worry about it. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5465088.msg62886704#msg62886704 |

I follow this project for some months now and waiting for the mainnet release. This is great, but you can mine now because the test coins will be exchanged for real ones after the launch of the main network. The price of the coin is unknown and no one knows how profitable mining will be, but if mining on the mainnet is profitable in the future, then mining now will not be a mistake. |

So take part in the voting. If this process has begun, I think that this coin will make mining on ASICs impossible and will make mining on FPGAs not very profitable. Although it is difficult to fight against FPGAs, it is possible to make FPGAs mine more profitable coins.
The distribution model and IronFish mining algorithm are secondary, in my opinion. That being said, I mostly support GPU mining. What’s more interesting about the IronFish project is that the developers are initially trying to legalize their cryptocurrency before regulatory authorities. But on the other hand, it is not entirely clear how one can remain completely anonymous (ZKP transactions) and be legitimate for the regulator (government, etc.). Coins that do not have pre-sales may not have problems with regulators. I know that there is no profit in mining this coin now on video cards, and the developers have made mistakes. If a profit appears on the new algorithm, then this will be a small victory for GPU miners. Because there’s really nothing to mine now. |

Hey guys I know GPU Mining is dead and since then I'm investing what ever I make into GPU since their cheap now for example 3060 ti/ 3070 for $170
Would you think in the long term they will at least 2x their current price or keep going down? I'm having faith in the next bull run that they will go up in price and I could sell them for a profit
Tell me your expectation and strategy
For $170 I wouldn't hesitate to buy 3060 ti/3070 graphics cards. In my country, these video cards are 100-150 dollars more expensive. Where are these prices and are you sure of the quality of these video cards? If these are video cards after repair, then I would not buy them. As a result, some of them will not work. |

Intel optimizing Starfield Arc gaming experience, Bethesda claims Arc A770 is no match for the game
Despite the Arc A770 GPU’s better performance compared to the aforementioned cards, Bethesda’s generic response suggests a lack of comprehensive guidance on how to address or optimize the game for their hardware. Consequently, Arc gamers may have to rely on Intel to resolve issues that Bethesda appears unwilling to tackle independently. One can only hope that Intel and Bethesda are working on Starfield optimizations together and Intel will have its “Game On” fully optimized driver for Starfield soon.https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-releases-new-starfield-driver-while-bethesda-claims-arc-a770-does-not-meet-minimum-requirementsI sympathize with gamers with Intel graphics cards. I was waiting for the release of this game, but after watching several reviews that showed a huge number of bugs, and a lot of similar quests on different planets, I did not download this game.

MSI unveils a new lineup of products under the Limited Edition brand today. These offerings are set for a limited production run, exclusively accessible through select retailers for a specified duration. Leading the pack is the MSI RTX 4060 NV Edition.
This particular card is slated for production in a quantity of 6000 units and will feature the RTX 4060 SKU, positioned as the lowest tier in NVIDIA’s product lineup. Some might question why MSI opted for the “Limited Edition” label for a lower-tier model, but it’s evident that MSI is emphasizing its collectible appeal over sheer performance.https://videocardz.com/newz/msi-to-launch-geforce-rtx-4060-nv-edition-limited-to-6000-units

If you're considering cryptocurrency mining, it's essential to understand that profitability can be influenced by factors like the price of the cryptocurrency, mining difficulty, electricity costs, and the efficiency of your mining equipment. Smaller investments may not yield significant returns, and there is a risk of not covering your expenses.
If you have home mining or mining on your territory, then you do not need to pay for rent and security, and increase costs accordingly. If the premises are in a lease, then of course there is a minimum amount of equipment that must mine in order to recoup the costs. Otherwise it is not profitable. |

What is the “Fish Hash” Algo?  The reason for voting to change the algorithm is to support GPU miners to remove FPGA from mining this coin and study the opinion of the community. Lolliedieb’s “Fish Hash” Algo is probably a proprietary algorithm that was developed for this coin by the developer Lolminer. If they vote for this algorithm, we’ll see how it works on video cards. i hope that it will be memory hard algo. So take part in the voting. If this process has begun, I think that this coin will make mining on ASICs impossible and will make mining on FPGAs not very profitable. Although it is difficult to fight against FPGAs, it is possible to make FPGAs mine more profitable coins. |

Покупайте биткоины анонимно
|
| Шаг [1] | Зарегистрируйте учетную запись в AgoraDesk. Перейдите на главную страницу - вы увидите топ предложения для вашего региона по умолчанию. Вы можете изменить результаты, добавив желаемую сумму и изменив валюту, страну или способ оплаты. Если вы не уверены, какой способ оплаты вы хотите использовать, выберите «Все онлайн-предложения» (выберите объявления трейдеров с большим количеством сделок и хорошей репутацией).
|
|
| Шаг [2] | После нажатия кнопки «Купить» вы увидите дополнительную информацию, включая условия обмена Чтобы начать обмен, введите количество биткойнов, которое вы хотите купить, и нажмите кнопку «Отправить запрос на сделку». Вам еще раз покажут условия обмена, внимательно прочитайте их еще раз и убедитесь, что вы согласны, затем нажмите «Принять условия».
|
|
| Шаг [3] | В появившемся новом меню «Уровень комиссии» вы сможете выбрать комиссию, которую вы хотите использовать для вашей транзакции. В зависимости от вашей срочности вы можете выбрать три уровня оплаты (быстрый, средний и медленный). Выбранная вами комиссия может оказаться еще ниже на момент транзакции, если сумма транзакции очень мала (этот выбор делается автоматически). Когда вы выберете комиссию, нажмите «Согласиться с условиями и начать торговать».
|
|
| Шаг [4] | Далее вам будет предложено ввести адрес вашего кошелька. Это адрес, на который будут отправлены купленные вами монеты. Если у вас нет кошелька BTC, то вы можете использовать кошелек Electrum. Скопируйте адрес из своего кошелька и вставьте его в поле «Адрес получения биткоинов» (убедитесь, что вставленный адрес совпадает с скопированным адресом, чтобы не потерять свои монеты). Обратите внимание: кошелек, который вы используете для обмена, должен быть вашим собственным. Использование сторонних кошельков не допускается. После этого нажмите «Начать торговлю», чтобы продолжить.
|
|
| Шаг [5] | В вашем браузере откроется новая страница. Свяжитесь с продавцом через торговый чат, чтобы убедиться, что продавец готов принять ваш платеж. Проведите оплату согласно инструкциям продавца и сразу нажмите «Я оплатил», это уведомит продавца о завершении платежа и не позволит продавцу отменить сделку.
|
|
| Шаг [6] | После того, как продавец подтвердит получение оплаты, он отправит вам монеты. Вы увидите, что статус сделки изменится на «В обработке». На этом этапе вам больше ничего не нужно делать - монеты будут автоматически переведены на указанный вами адрес кошелька. Это займет некоторое время (обычно около 10–60 минут).

Antminer S21 (200Th) has already been shown to all miners, but most likely miners will receive this ASIC after the halving in April 2024. But some miners will be able to mine on a test batch now. Why is Bitmain delaying the sale? Are they waiting for the price of Bitcoin to rise and want to sell ASICs at a higher price? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5465088.msg62886704#msg62886704 |
