London fork doesn’t reduce the fees....anyone expecting that is misinformed.

Why do you keep posting info about a scam asic that’s never going to be released to the public? Stop spamming BitcoinTalk with this crap. Nobody likes your channel.

This asic is a joke. The prototypes never got to production. They were only able to manufacture a few hundred and never sold them to the public because there were too many problems and completely unstable. Instead they decided to keep them and mine with them themselves and one or two other partners since there would be too many service issues and blowback from failure if they sold them to anyone else. They all have 4.4gb , and are end of life’d this summer anyway as DAG crosses 4.4. They are currently working on an 8+ gb model and will not even start manufacturing them at the earliest next year which again being so close to PoS at that point and given the issues they had with the prototypes it’s likely they’ll just mine themselves on them for a year until PoW ends. Too late now to start all over and manufacture any in any real quantity to sell before PoS, especially given the massive global chip shortage which affects them as well. Basically they failed to get into production on time and failed to meet quality and reliability standards. It’s unfortunate for them, but Great for gpu miner as they pose no real threat.  They also aren’t really even significant more efficient than gpus these days anyway, especially the 5600xt. Plus when these are end of life’d they are worth $0. At least with gpus you can resell them.

No way the gpu mining community would back a DAG size increase. We’d be shooting ourselves in the foot. Almost half of all nvidia gpus currently mining are 6gb, including the most efficient gpu on the market, the 5600xt which is a current generation gpu.  The older eth asics are not significant in numbers and are not even more efficient as the latest generation gpus so no real threat there. More profits and more dollar per hash buying gpus instead.  The newer asics and ones coming out this year and next all have 8+gb already and are actually on par with the 5600xt from a cost to performance level and less attractive due to their enormous entry cost and $0 asset at the end of their life cycle.   The only thing DAG size increase accomplishes is chopping out a significant portion of the gpu mining base while tilting the network towards faster takeover by late model 8+gb asics.   The mere idea of it is pretty absurd since it does the opposite of what it’s supposed intended purpose is.  But truth came out the other day that the proposer of it just announced a partnership with asic manufacturers, so the cats out of the bag and massive conflict of interest obviously.

The DAG inflation has a massive opposition by both asics and gpu miners.  Almost half of all nvidia gpus mining eth are 6gb. It’d also kick out the most efficient gpus on the market (5600xt). Plus 1060s, p106-100, 1660, and 2060s. It also does nothing to address the most attractive asics as they are 8+gb already. All the new ones are 8+GB too, the ones that are 2+GH.  The result of that would be kicking out a significant portion of the gpu miner base and only further tilt the network towards asic control. The mere idea of it is absurd. Why would we kick out a massive number of gpu miners whose hash is likely higher than any small number of asics that will be EOL’d soon anyway with normal DAG size increases??

It also came to light that the proposer of that just announced a partnership with asic manufacturers so clearly massive conflict of interest. That proposal is dead on arrival and the majority of all miners would oppose it anyway.

How are people overclocking and undervolting Navi gpus on Windows using PhoenixMiner_5.4b and windows driver 20.12.1 ?

OverdriveNTool doesn't work past 20.4.2 , and using the miner params '-cclock 1030 -cvddc 700' doesn't work either. 

using 'cclock' and 'cvddc' , the logs show:
2020.12.12:18:55:57.470: hwmc GPU0: set GPU clocks to 1030 MHz (Vddc 700 mV)

however, checking gpuz or hwinfo or even in the miner itself (hstats 2), none of the OC values are actually applied. 

I have same model gigabytes some with Samsung, some with micron. At the same exact settings, the Samsung gpus pull 20 less watts each than the microns. This is consistent across all of them (I have 56 of them in total various models).

An algo change won’t make any difference. Whatever algo they change to hackers will just rent hashpower for that algo instead. Consider ETC completely dead. 

No worries. This EIP is dead in the water. Any further reduction in rewards would kick off all gpu miners leaving the network in the hands of large asic farms and susceptible to 51% attacks. Therefore, this EIP will never be adopted as there is no support for it unless you are invested self interest with asics.

thats definitely software reporting.  he's probably closer to 120 watts in reality.

I am trying to use this tool on RX480s and it is not working.  (yes I know I can technically just keep the modded bios on there, etc, I am simply just "testing" the tool to see if it works on rx480s with stock bios). 

On windows with the Ubermix 3.1 strap I can get 30MH on these cards.   On linux (hiveos) using stock bios I get 25MH.   On linux using stock bios but first using this tool to set custom timings, I still get 25MH.  It's as if the tool doesnt work at all.

First, I flashed the original bios' back onto the gpus.  Then moved 5x AMD RX480 Reference cards over to the linux box from a windows machine.   These amd cards all have the same memory on them, K4G80325FB 8GB samsung. 

I pulled this tool built it, and then executed the following command './amdmemtweak --current' to examine the timings of the original bios.  Then I decoded the original 2000 timing memory strap and the UberMix 3.1 memory strap and got all the values from comparing the decoded the original bios strap and compared to the timings in the Ubermix 3.1 strap.  Then used amdmemtweak to set the same timings used in the ubermix 3.1 strap and confirmed that they are set correctly using './amdmemtweak --current'.    Then I restarted the miner but I still get the same 25MH as I would with the stock bios strap timings.   What gives???  Tool seems broken...

fyi the command that I am using is:
./amdmemtweak  -i 0,1,2,3,4,5 --RC 65 --RRD 5 --RCDRA 24 --RCDR 24 --RCDWA 13 --RCDW 13 --CL 21 --W2R 14 --CCDS 5 --CCLD 4 --R2W 28 --RFC 136 --TRP 27 --RP_RDA 24 --RP_WRA 46 --T32AW 0 --FAW 0 --RASMACTRD 47 --RASMACTWR 63 --ACTWR 18 --ACTRD 16 --BUS_TURN 25 --WRPLUSRP 64 --RP 53 --RAS2RAS 186


also fyi at least one of the argument's is "wrong" in the --help.  I believe it was 'RASMACTWR'.  In the --help it has 'RASMACWTR' but that doesn't do anything, it has to be 'RASMACTWR'.  (the W and T are backwards).  I think its just a typo in your --help output code.  One of the other parameters was like this too, though I dont remember which one that was. 

this is what the tool shows after setting the values and starting the miner:

while these completely match the same timings as the UberMix 3.1 strap, the mining hashrate does not increase above the same 25MH value as stock...

I've run these numbers before.  'OgNasty' is correct.  You would need AT LEAST $500,000 in solar alone (not including batteries) for your 50x 1080ti setup to be 100% run on solar.  Could even run you higher (~$1million).   Good luck.  ROI > 30 years.

lol why would I disclose that? To ruin my own profits? This is crypto...once a niche is exposed it’s done and you have to find something else to exploit. 

You know how to know this is a scam? Because the OP is a new account and this thread turned into an advertisement for another fpga scam.  Clearly they wrote the op post themselves.

I never sell gpu with broken fans. I always order from either amazon if I can find it (but it’s usually 3x of cost of aliexpress) or from aliexpress.  Last thing I need is someone dinging my seller rating over faulty fans. Doesn’t even matter if you list it blasting broken fan all over the title condition and body, buyers never read it and will open a case against you and you will lose unless you listed it “for parts or repair” regardless of whatever you put in the description.

complete opposite.  miners tend to undervolt and underclock, not using full potential of card.  gamers damage gpus by overvolt and overclocking stressing all the components.  if theres a gpu that's more likely to fail, it will be one used by a gamer, not a miner.   thats why I love buying gpus used for mining, they've never really been stressed very hard.

ebay is good, you should try ebay.  thats how you'll make the most money you'll ever get with those cards.

WTM is one of the worst lol.  should be WHAT TO SELL not WHAT TO MINE.   chasing the current most profitable is not the most profitable way to mine.

why bother, just use ebay.

eth is already dead, so who cares
