Thanks for the advice, may I know what is the Cons of having BTC ASIC ? I saw many people say GPU mining rig is better than ASIC
yeah true gpu its better choice |

Hi guys, because of some reason, the place I live now has super low electricity fee, around $0.02/kwh , should I start mining? My place can withstand around 60-70 miners I think , I will be starting with 2-3 as I have no much extra cash
oh man thats was cheapest i ever heard, mine with second hand gpu like 290x/295/7990 should be awesome 295 give you around 6.6$/day 290x 3.3$/day 7990 3.5$/day rx 480/580 2.5$/day r9nano/fury x 2.9$/day the best choice its 290x dual mining eth/lbc, around 170-200$ 2nd gpu |

So I live in the East Bay, near San Fransisco. Tier 1 is 19 cents/KWh & at > 500KWh/month it's Tier 2 @ 27 cents!!  So I have 2 solar systems. In the summer I can generate about 2000KWh/month, winter is far far less. So needless to say I pay a ton for power here & while mining GPUs can still be profitable, it's no where close to what someone paying 8 cents could get. So I'm moving my rigs to Utah. Luckily my family owns storage bays so it was worth it to pay for internet & a bunch of cameras to get 8-11 cents/KWh. It's literally saving me hundreds a month & I might even end up covering the bay roofs with solar panels in the near future. Now I'm wondering what everyone else is paying, where you are & what methods you've used to save/generate power? "Screw the AC & sweat it out!. It's not worth the power unless it cooling the miners!" in asia i got 11cent/kwh, not complaining about it the profits its about 400-500% from power it self |

I am given an opportunity to present a business plan (small) and if it sounds good i'll get $1,500 in funding for mining hardware.
My power cost here is $0.12 Kw/h
I was originally considering Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Litecoin as my top 3 prospects. I would like some flexibility to change to a different coin if the need arises and i know some rigs are suited only for bitcoin.
I was mostly considering GPU rig compared to an asic one.
I live on the east coast near NJ/PA area so i'm close to a Micro-Center which sells Graphics Cards in stock but they only seem to have 1-2 of any given card in stock and i was considering between 4-6 graphics cards.
My first concern is availability and pricing, even if some cards would be ideal they seem to be sold out or are being re-sold on ebay for3X the price.
The antminers are bitcoin exclusive? They are about $1,300+ and don't ship until late November, which doesn't rule it out.
Are there any better options or guides anyone would reccomend for someone to get started?
p.s. - From the research I have done it seems impossible to tell the Hash rate of any card without having it tested first.I am a freshman college student majoring in computer science and this is exactly the type of formula I would like to study and understand in the pursuit of knowledge. Thanks.

Lol, I just cant understand beside devs, why miners buy failega hehe, Vega is for gamers, gaming, not mining noobs. Stop enrich the ebay scammers for once, gamers want to buy Vega for gaming, let them to.
for gaming just buy gtx 1080/1070 the price more reasonable, vega its build for compute, only smart miner who tanking vega for now |
|
|
|
in my country vega 2x price 480 or gtx 1060, so vega is the best choice, brighest future winter is coming my friend, vega its meant valyrian steel  |

BTC already in the sky, not good for buying BTC build 7x vega mining small caps coin, this is win win situation |

how they can run 104 gpus, maybe multipler each pcie lines, hmmm
no thanks

Holy Moly ... this really is getting absurd. Even without the "Risers" that motherboard has 22 PCIe slots. How are you going to connect 19, or 22 or 104 GPU's to one motherboard? How will you design a lattice around the motherboard and the PSU's that are almost equidistant, since longer USB cables cause issues. This is beyond practicality now. it wont work my boy, most cpu support 16/32 pcie lines, and amd threadripper only support 64pcie lines, core i9 only 44 pcie lines |

waiting vega out in my country, will switch all my gpus to vega, something good is coming soon, |

so why is Vega FE not performing the same or at least in the same ballpark? Same GPU (well as far as mining goes it's identical), same memory (only more of it on FE) so I fail to see how the RX Vega can double or TRIPLE the hashrate. Driver optimization, okay do it with FE it shouldn't really matter.
VEGA Frontier is not a gaming card. But I do agree concerning the hashrate jump to 70mhs to be too much even with somethings enabled on the gaming version. Vega FE in its current form has its HBM2 working ~ 400 GB/s...about 40GB/s of that discrepancy is actually from the upper stacks on the 16GB HBM2 (FE has two stacks of two 4GB dies on top of each other..the top two dies actually run at lower timings due to hardware limitations...ie top stacks run slower since electrical signals have to go through additional vias to reach top). The other 40GB is due to driver optimizations that AMD is working on right now. So out of the box we can expect RX Vega to do 440GB/s with its single stacked two dies (8GB total HBM2), plus near 480GB/s if they fixed the driver issues by launch. Thats a 20% bump from the stock ~33-35MH = ~ 41MH. Memory can be overclocked at least 20% from my tests, so thats brings it up to ~50 MH/s. Throw in another 10% with timing optimizations and were looking at about 55MH top eth speed for vega. Disclamer I DO have a Vega FE and and working with AMD devs to address these issues and was at the siggraph event and talked to Raja. AMD is finally in a corner where they can't ignore the mining market anymore, and I'm doing the best I can do address the mining markets concerns to AMD. Expect more good stuff from them in the future  HBM memory Do not leave, change stock strap timing Let's not be so optimistic, Vega's hashrate will not reach 45 mh/s never Fury is trash in eth Vega will be the same i think you already stock so much rx 400/500 or gtx 1000 series, worried about less earning when vega hit market, just sell all your card now, dont cry later claymore tested vega fe at 41mhs with his miner v9.8, no doubt if rx vega can reach 60++mhs |

What...Dont be scared of that TDP. Remember a Fury/Nano tdp is high as hell...yet it can be run smooth as butter for extremely low power usage. I expect the same out of vega.
I have the nano. I only run them at -100mV, so it is quite efficient. Can you confirm any hashrates and power consumption? What's the temperature like, is it a pain in the ass to setup ? i had some nano they running at 0.88v dual mining suck 160watt, earning almost reach 1080ti the card pretty silence at 70c room ambient at 28c |

claymore said vega fe 41mhs abit oc memory but unoptimized miner, with new gaming driver for rx vega & proper miner with some mod/ocing vega should get 60mhs or more
and the time will come as the grave for 1070/1080ti , huhahahaha bye2 nvidia miner
with heavy undervolted run under 200w we see the new king is shining
|
|
|
|
|
vega 500$ 290w, even undervolted maybe around 200w minimum speed must be 2x rx480, or its pointless to buy it, or wait for vega nano for next couple month should be interesting
|

I all comes down to price , availability and power usage , yeah the hash rate and mods by miner devs are important
but no one knows what the true combination of thosw three factors are, for now the smart money is sticking with nvidia
No, the scared money, the herd, is sticking with Nvidia. Follow the herd and you get what they do... which usually amounts to not much. real power consumption on your vega card, arround?default and undervolt? |

Folks,
I would like to come up with a list of good tokens which fell below their ICO price.
In my view, such list may provide a good buy opportunity for the community.
Let's make the list here:
MibileGO
Status
Basic Attention Token
.....
bancor and another big cap ico should below the ico price right now wait after btc dumped out |
