go to https://chiacalculator.com/ and click advanced. Uncheck "unlimited" for space of plots. Put in how big hard drive you will buy. Then you will see it is pretty bad return lol. But if you got space laying around or find supergood deal then sure, try it

Prices have come down here, Asus GeForce RTX 3070 TUF Gaming is "only" 1059 eur or 1282 usd. Still too much though to even consider, but feels like we are at the end of this cryptomining boom, cards are in stock again and prices have started to drop just a tiny bit. Perhaps at the end of summer we are looking at sane prices. Just hoping though. lol.

My local store got  50+ 3070's more than a week ago and they are still in stock. Was it supposed to be possible to tell from packaging if they are nerfed? Curious how they have not sold out yet.

Wow the growth has slowed down a lot then, I stopped checking some week ago. Right now its 26% since last week. The norm was 70+ % per week. It was like 200% or even more a few weeks in a row, once I saw the network space increase by one whole EiB on ONE single day. Could not help but check in every day for a while and be amazed lol. Never seen anything like it. Hope it stabilizes, but to jump in it for profit right now seems even riskier than buying gpus. Edit: ROI not gonna happen lol.

https://chiacalculator.com/ really gives suuch a bad prognosis if you put realistic numbers there and you are one of those I want to get rich quick guys.

Anyways I am still curious about chia because it is new and more fun compared to gpu mining, if you like building computers that is. I have a build ready to switch on when pools arrive... errm if they arrive, as you say, rules change and change. Perhaps pools arrive just in time for christmas and value has tanked because there has been such a shitshow with scammy pools stealing coins and people giving up because they can't get back investment if they don't join pools. I did not build my rig even expecting ROI, I had old computers laying around that could do plotting with just a bit more ram and a few more harddrives. So for me it is like switching my slower gpus to some shitcoin and hoping it will take off, if it won't, well then, at least I had some entertainment for a while.

I was just going to ask if he has cracked the limiter

Perhaps I should go back to my roots then and only buy amd from now on

Edit: oohhh, it does not concern the 3090 apparently, at least according to that statement.

Totally stupid, it's not that there aren't other coins that are profitable right now too. A bit more gambling and you'll perhaps have to trade for btc or eth but whatever, still just 50 cents less profit

Wow that sucks. I only thought it was the 3060. Also seems like their dedicated mining card wont be that good for mining. I don't care that much about resale value still got 4 280x left that are running in some computers lol. Not mining obviously but they are being put to use. Even one display output would make the mining cards more attractive.

Perhaps I should go cheaper route and get a few 2060's, local shop just got 50+ of them, they will pay themself back pretty quick

I thought it was only the 3060 that would be nerfed? Anyways isn't this possible to get around?
