Down the road into a bear market what can a new miner except from a 500MH mining farm? How incredibly bad can this get? 5$? 8$? Asking those who are here before in 2018 so I can know what's awaiting me.
I was here before 2018  and created a nice topic in 2017, this topic really cant give you a right answer , no one can , but might worth to read it HERE IS the original topic/post from 2017  And HERE you can find the "updated" version from 2021 2017I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY NEWBIES KEEP ASKING THE SAME QUESTIONS " ITS TO LATE TO START MINING , IT IS STILL PROFITABLE ? WHY MY EARNING IS LESS THAN ALL THOSE ONLINE CALCULATORS TELLING ME? WHAT IS THE BEST COIN TO MINE ? WHAT IS THE MOST PROFITABLE COIN TO MINE"No one can tell you ! Always going to be a 2 group of ppl who telling you it's ok go for it , or don't bc you just wasting your money and time ! You have to make a decision for yourself ! Do your own research ! No one can tell you for sure what's going to happen with cryptocurrency ! No one can tell you it's going to be profitable for you or not ! No one can tell you how much profit you going to be able to make ! ( if you can make any at all ) No one can tell you the ROI ( return of investment) time ! No one can tell you what is the best coin to mine ! No one can tell you what is the most profitable coin to mine! Coins profitability always changing, what is best to mine today, maybe going to be the worst to mine tomorrow ! None of those calculators you are seeing on the web can tell you what's coming tomorrow , months later or 6 months later ! Those calculators telling you about today , at that moment when you typing in your information !None of those online calculators calculating pool luck ! None of those online calculators calculating your stale/rejected or invalid shares ! None of those online calculators able to predict difficulty growth ! None of those online calculators can predict what would be the coin/$ exchanges rates a minutes later, a hour later, tomorrow, next week, months later, 6 months later or a year later ! It's little bit of gambling , you must to decide you want to play on the lottery or not  YES some of us got lucky , made some money with mining YES some of us got unlucky , lost some money , bc when price started to fall , sold they coins , miners... ! INVEST ONLY WHAT YOU'RE WILLING AND ABLE TO LOSE ! ! INVEST WITH THE UNDERSTANDING , THAT YOU COULD LOSE EVERYTHING ! 2021Posted this topic almost 3.5 years ago... There is the brand new, 2021 updated version There is the Original Link for my topic from 2017 HEREThe same thing happening now what happened in (2016) 2017, ppl got crazy about mining, investing money into GPU's, ASIC's, hoping a big profit in a short time, GPU's, ASIC's price are crazy high, but really no one know what's coming in the future. Lot of us know what happened in 2018, some of us was able to make a great profit with mining ( mostly those guys who started mining before crazy GPU prices ), and some of the unlucky ones come back to this forum and cried for they Money, said just bad things about mining ( mostly those guys who paid 3x, 4x, 5x price over a RX480/580 MSRP ( manufacturer's suggested retail price ). Before you jumping into mining please do your own research, especially about ETH mining, check the roadmap for ETH development, make sure you know more than what mining calculators telling you. Learn about ETH2 , EIP 1559 , Mining Reward Reduction ... and if you are living in the USA , make sure you know what this IRS letters are about : Letter 6163 , 6174 and 6174-A also ... Its a good thing to know about Tax ConsequencesThe big brother is watching you, and not just in the USA.HAPPY MINING to all of you and good luck with your new adventure  Be Aware ! Scammers are Targeting You! Hackers are targeting You! You can be a victim of a phishing website ! Watch out ! Make sure You Buying gears from legit source ! Downloading program from legit source ! Make sure you have a hardware wallet !
Im sure we going to see a lot of "crying " ppl here as soon as Price going up , scammers , hackers getting into actions , and most of the victims going to be some of our community new members , our "Newbies" Watch out for newbies who promising "save on dev fee" kind of miner programs hacks , and you just need to download a file to your computer , then run the .exe file ... IF NO SOURCE CODE , NOT OPEN SOURCE PROJECT, FORGET ABOPUT THOSE JUNKS NEVER RUN ANY .EXE FILE ,OR IF YOU DO USE WIRESHARK OR SOMETHING SIMILLAR TO ANALYZE what your freshly installed junk doing on your network . if you running something like this on a pc , where you keep important information about your wallet , don't be surprised if all of your hard mined coin going to disappear . ...or your valid shares decline , bc your miner going to mine for somebody else ! Coin price up its mean scammers targeting miners, especially newbies with a promise to save on dev fee . Dont be fooled when newbie account holder creating a .exe file , promising you can save lets say on dev fee, and another newbie keep saying how perfect is that new .exe file, what another newbie just created ! Dont be fooled when the creator make his source code public, its can be totally fake , you need to Decompiling the code , and see whats in the .exe file ! or compile the file yourself from the source code , if you want to stay on the safe side ! I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY NEWBIES KEEP ASKING THE SAME QUESTIONS " ITS TO LATE TO START MINING , IT IS STILL PROFITABLE ? WHY MY EARNING IS LESS THAN ALL THOSE ONLINE CALCULATORS TELLING ME?

Stay on 512.77 , don't upgrade to 512.95 . There is a confirmed presence of a mining lock in the 512.95 driver. If you upgraded , don't worry , you can simply reinstall the previous 512.77 drivers and mine at full speed. Make no sense what nVidia doing  Read more HERE

My advice is much simpler than that:
SELL ALL YOUR GPU NOW!!
Hehe ehhe he
Lucky me , never sold any of my old RX480/RX580 cards from 2017/2018 , mined through the crypto winter from early 2018 till mid 2020 , when prices went down and stayed down , mined with full capacity, All those old rx480/rx580 are still mining ( of course lost some bc they failed and i wasnt able to repair them ) Im not a big miner , but still have all my old gpus ,and some RTX 3060/3070/3080/3090, some ASIC's , including some Antminer E3 those are still mining ETC with full capacity  all this is in my home made shed . Did this as a business , so yes I had some capital loss instead of gain  , but all this worked perfectly fine with my tax returns  , bull market hit , made more money from those coins I ever imagined in my life . That's my story ... and I'm still not selling any of my old RX480/RX580

He didn´t open the miner XD. As i said, no one open the miner and show us the RAM. I only see one review, in this review i can´t see any RAM on the board, only some ASIC chips. Vosk did not check the internet traffic, but ok i warned enough. A new company came out and deliver a new miner multiply times more efficent than every other existing miner, surely true - absolute no brainer or are other companies like Innosilicon and Bitmain are to stupid to build such Asic - sure  How do you know they don't have probably much better hardware than Jasminer ? They probably much smarter , and mining with the new hardware for themselves , then when they developed newer than the new ones  selling the " old new ones" to the public  Or anyone saw a bigger number of this miner? I only see everytime 1 miner. On the side you only can do Bulk Order - after i email them - i can get any amount of this miner - immediatly - also a red flag. i only see red flags. How can anyone blinded by some numbers? I'm slowly losing faith in humanity, I've lost faith in this forum for a long time. All blindly follow some youtubers, they getting money for the review dudes.
WELL..WELL.. .WELL... this is what ppl said about Bitmain , Innosilicon , MicroBT , Baikal , Goldshell , Pandaminer .... blah balh blah blah blah ... many more ... when those miners hit the market ... There is always a believers and people who just cant follow, understand the newest technology ... Yes there is always a spam risk , but we have some trustable members here , this members helping our community with they review on YouTube or wherever ... There is some YouTube videos for your education TEARING APART this Jasminer X4 1U Ethereum ASIC Miner...Is The Jasminer X4 a FAKE Cloud Ethereum Miner? Let's find out...Blocked all the NTP traffic you guys requested to this Ethereum miner...And HERE is more reviews from different youtubers , i understand your point , yeah sure there is a lot of red flags , but not for everyone

" Ethereum Merge will arrive in the summer of 2022Ethereum Merge is considered a milestone for the altcoin as it transitions from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake, after a long wait. After several delays over the past year, Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, announced the date for “The Merge.” At a Web 3.0 ETH Developer Summit, he told attendees that “The Merge” is the largest event in the altcoin’s development roadmap in 2022.

Power Supply If anyone could help answer my questions, it would be greatly appreciated, 1) How do you calculate the number of watts needed for your GPUs? In my case, I want to power two GPUs that require a total of 400 watts. So then do I buy a 500w power supply to cover my needs running at 80% efficiency. what is that 2xGPU's you want to power and need 400watts all together 2) If I build my rig with modularity in mind, would it be safe to assume that I need to purchase another 500w power supply to support another two 3060ti GPUs. So on and so forth with every two GPUs ' you mean you have two rtx3060ti already and want to add 2 more rtx 3060ti ?3) Should I only trust 80 Plus certified power supplies or can I cheap out for a Chinese model? 80plus certified power supply can be made in china also even from brand names ... 2x3060ti gpu during mining , without proper fine tune , can consume a little bit over 200 watts each , with the right settings you can push down the power usage to around 100-125 watts/each card So if you need a psu for 4x3060ti , and you are not familiar with the right power settings , i would suggest you to buy a 1000 watts psu for your 4x3060ti+motherboard+mem+hdd as someone mentioned before , dont try to save money on PSU , the PSU is very very important in you case

Yeah its absolutely make sense to solo mine ETH with ASIC , the question is what kind of asic you have for solo mining  If you have a few Bitmain Antminer E9 (3Gh) , go ahead and mine solo , but if you have something with less hashrate , better if you joining to a mining pool with your asic hardware. Just a side note , those E9 ASIC miners is around 30.000$ each as of right now  still cheaper than build a 3GH mining farm from 30-32 rtx 3080 cards , or 26 rtx3090 cards  Good luck with your solo mining adventure , and good luck to get those 30k+ ASIC hardware's  get a few , just plug it in , and let it run , abandon them for a few years

Ordered one of this from the 1800 watts series in 2018 December , it was listed on amazon as a "Power Supply, 1800W Switching Power Supply 90% High Efficiency for Ethereum S9 S7 L3 Rig Mining 180-240V" The only reason i ordered a no name psu for my rigs , bc i ran out from my spare/backup psu's , and i had to get one asap. (Im Using only evga 1600T2 for all my Builds) , around this time evga 1600t2 psu's was hard to get , and they price hoovered around 6-800$, so i decided to give a chance to this Chinese made psu . This psu is running without any issues in the past over 3 years now , its not in a ac cooled mining facility , its in my home built mining shed , with filtered outside air circulation , hot humid summer , where temp is over 39C s , mid winter temp never going under 0 Celsius. I have zero issues with this psu as of now , after over a 3 years of 24/7 usage .

in my country mining is becoming illegal any ideas on how to rebuild my rigs to be hidden or to look like a home pc thanks
as an answer if i get caught it will be jail time for 1-3 years they don't do helicopters or thermal imaging just someone reports me , so i just want to hide if someone reports me and they get on my door they can't find them or they find just a normal pc
from "way more than" to now " more than"  the chief of police: boys, anyone who breaches 10k usage of electricity may it be 0.1 or 0.001 we will serve the search warrant. LOL For all your "more than" BS , the only thing I can say, just LISTEN THIS SONG , and concentrate on the lyrics , i hope you understand what is this song about , why is a perfect match for you LOL , I have some doubt about you, bc you have some serious issue to understanding a few things in this topic , but ...... don't give up my friend, one day you might going to be able to read between lines , and one day ... maybe one day ... you going to understand what is the OP main problem , one day .... maybe one day  you going to be able to give him some helpful information , suggestions, but what I see , is going to take some times, till you growing up to this task LOLThis beautiful song can be your hymn LOL Merry Christmas and Happy New Year C Poждecтвoм и Hoвым Гoдoм Feliz Navidad y Próspero Año Nuevo
PS: Enjoy that nice song , be proud of yourself ! I'm not arguing with ppl like you , its not worth it , you are right with every word you just said i mean typed  You are smarter way more than Im , experienced way more than Im and everyone on this forum ........... You are really helpful , way more than Im and everyone on this forum ........... You are the BEST ! All my respect for you! LOL

Way more than? Way over average? These are your figures.. 13k, 11k, 10k,14k.
Police: the average this that, the typical this that... Here's your search warrant. LOL
some ppl just really need to go back to the elementary school , and start again everything from the beginning , paying a little more attention to they teachers ... especially about reading , and understanding questions , issues !!! LOLThe OP is worried about that search warrant , he is worried about officers , government ppl showing up at his door with the warrant to search for his miners ... He is even worry about if someone reports him and based on that report police can go to his house and search for his miner(s) . That's how "Some" government cracking down on home miners , based on they electricity usage after the mining ban ! yes if they have more than average usage of electricity! I know its a really hard and difficult to understand for some members here , that's why they need to start from the beginning LOL as an answer if i get caught it will be jail time for 1-3 years they don't do helicopters or thermal imaging just someone reports me , so i just want to hide if someone reports me and they get on my door they can't find them or they find just a normal pc
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS TRYING TO SAY , WHAT HE IS WORRY ABOUT , WHY HE IS OPENED THIS TOPIC  Or do you really need some help to find out what is his topic is all about  His main concern is that search warrant !!! i know is probably hard for you to understand , so I'm trying to help you a little bit LOL

you are talking to crypto miners. we aren't average and we aren't typical LOL
No .. im talking about the OP , a person who trying to hide his 1500watts setup from the government And Im talking about that 1500watts 24/7 , what can get the power company attention , bc that extra 1500watts/hour 24/7 is probably way more than what regular user/homeowner/renter using in his area. If you growing weeds , police showing up at your door bc your electricity usage become way over average

252 kwh/week =1008 kwh/month This is an approximate electricity consumption in my apartment, and I pay about $ 50 a month for it. Such electricity consumption can be provided by 2 conventional room air conditioners. In private houses, it is allowed to consume up to 15,000 watts per hour, so for me this is a very small value.
You are one of the luckiest one  0.049$/kwh ... thats what i would like to have LOL
50/1008=0.049 , so you paying 4.9 cents/kwh ( 0.049$/kwh) with tax and everything in a residential are ... wondering what part of the world are you from  , definitely not from the US (link)  based on that electricity price you just mentioned  Tried to found out where are you from based on THIS electricity price chart (link) , but to be honest w you , i wasn't successful

At Ethereum block height 13,773,000 the network will implement the Arrow Glacier upgrade which aims to postpone Ethereum’s Difficulty Bomb. The Arrow Glacier network upgrade will go into effect around 10 December, delaying the “difficulty bomb”, an increase in mining difficulty, until June 2022 as the blockchain transitions from proof-of-work (PoW) mining to PoS. The Difficulty Bomb was supposed to happen 4,000,000 blocks or 611 days after the Muir Glacier network upgrade. However, Arrow Glacier will push the bomb back further to June 2022. This will give ethereum PoW miners another six months to continue mining the Ethereum blockchain until the June 2022 change. Once the Difficulty Bomb does happen the mining difficulty will make it so PoW miners get phased out because it will be too difficult.

1500 watts per hour is a small amount of electricity consumption for an apartment in a very hot country. Problems arise if neighbors write a statement to the police on you, then the police will already know what to look for, or they can then come with checks. The most important thing is that no one should see this equipment.
1500w is small, you can still fit ~3000w in a THHN AWG 14 at 220V.
1500w is just around 1.5hp of AC a refrigerator and a few lights.
average heavy duty extension cords are rated at 2500w LOL.
So your AC compressor is running 24/7 all year long , your " few light bulbs" are on for 24/7 all year long , and your fridge compressor is running 24/7 all year long  , and all this happening in a small apartment right ? LOLSo your continuous power usage in that "small apartment" , just from the AC / Fridge / few light , is 1500watts 24/7 all year long, and using just this 3 things in that apartment, you paying around 133$ / months ( calculated with 12cents/kwh) just for the AC / few lamps / and a fridge ? 1500 watts 24/7 is not much for industrial usage that's for sure , but for a small / reg size apartment ? That's 36kwh/day (4.32$) , 252kwh/week (30.24$) , 1080kwh/months (129.6$) , 13104kwh/year (1572$) Compare this usage with a world wide average ( especially for a small / reg size apartment ) , its not small at all , its actually more than the US typical household power consumption / year , and doubled what is the average in bigger European countries household power consumption / year . From 2010 data : In the US typical household power consumption is about 11,700 kWh each year, in France it is 6,400 kWh, in the UK it is 4,600 kWh and in China around 1,300 kWh. The global average electricity consumption for households with electricity was roughly 3,500 kWh in 2010. From 2015 data :The average U.S. household consumes about 11,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year.However, electricity use in homes varies across regions of the United States and across housing types. From 2020 data :In 2020, the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. residential utility customer was 10,715 kilowatthours (kWh), an average of about 893 kWh per month. Louisiana had the highest annual electricity consumption at 14,407 kWh per residential customer, and Hawaii had the lowest at 6,446 kWh per residential customer. As I mentioned in my earlier post , some basic knowledge and google can be your best friend before posting LOL

1500 watts , 24 hours per day , 7 days per week , 365 days/52 weeks per year is not a small amount of electricity !!! 36kwh/day , 252 kwh/week , 13104 kwh/year , and beside this usage he/she already using the average amount of electricity for that area , so its a extra  That 13104kw/year , can be around 1600$/year in average us electricity price , and i would not call that as a small amount of electricity usage even in a hot country  For education purpose HERE is a LINK or HERE (older stat) about average electricity usage from all over the word , especially I would suggest you to check out those " hot countries " usage vs Canada ! You will be surprised  and you might can learn something new .... And don't forget , google can be your best friend before posting something and want to make sure you posting the right information not some BS ...
