for the last 5 months, all my apartment did not need any type of heating.

But.....in summer, OMG , my air conditioning will work hard, really hard. also my fans for moving the air into the room.

my 2 rigs are back ON

The reasons are clear. I'm getting about 280$ profit after electricity bill. i managed to go to 0,15$/kW while i was at 0,18$/kW in the past, so there is a change here.

In spain we have a fare that's called "night price". for 14 hours (from 22pm to 12AM) you get a price of 0.065€/kW (without taxes) = 0.08$/kW. and the other 10 hours at 0.17$(without taxes). So the average price per day is 0,15$ taxes included. That helped a lot.

currently mining at 314,3mh/s

i would bet for this options:

a) bad bios configuration (you would have to tell us if this is a recent problem or this same rig with same bios have been working in the past days without issues)

b) cards hitting max temp due to bad fan config (normally 90, which makes the card throttle and it will reduce your core clock and would see those ups and downs).

c) in my experience, it's not possible to see all cards throttle. I have a 6gpu rig , and temps vary even 10ºC between cards.

d) have you increased the available virtual memory up to 16gb for multi gpu rigs???

e) the last option i can think of is power issues. It can be your PSU or even your electrical installation.  

f) it can also be you ping to the server. 780ms to solve an hash is way too much. Anything above 200ms is just a no go, since your number of stale shares should be huge if that's normal to you. That can make your cards wait to get work, which could mean cards going "semi-iddle".

i don't think it's a riser issue since it's very difficult to see 4 or 5 fail at the same time. I would say this are power issues i think, maybe combined with high ping to server.

Follow this rule.

Only 1 card per sata cable.

2 cards per molex cable.

If you are not following this rule, it's sure that this problem is due to that.

the price of ETH will fall to below 300$ in the next two weeks.

this is NOT TRUE.

the RX 500X line up is just rebranded mobile version.

The Tul Corporation's PowerColor Reddit account has stated that the RX 500X series is an OEM rebranding of the RX 500 series and not a new SKU for AIBs.

      he said this:   Cannot say much, but see it as OEM model branding. Its not actually a new AIB sku. Hope this helps.

my favorite moment is why two different rigs, plugged to two different wall connectors just freeze one after the other with no link between them.

the best combo for this is.

1 riser per sata cable
2 risers per Molex cable.

Why? because molex cable can provide up to 150W. that's why 2 risers per cable, because risers can use up to 75W each.

SAta provides no more than 54W per cable. Which should be safe enough to power a riser. it depends on what you are doing. It's very easy. If your card uses 130W powered with an 8 pin conector (which provides up to 150W), your riser with a SATA cable should do it's job just fine.

If you need to overclock to get the best out of your card while mining (not the case of ETH), with RX 580's you will be far from 150W of the 8 pin, and you may have problems with sata, even probably problems with 2 risers per molex, which would imply using only one Riser per molex cable.

bears are waiting for the 420$ mark to oversell another time and drop it to 380ish.

Bears are only joking and trolling people to join the hype and let them help increase the price. Bulls are being destroyed time after time by bears. Market is not going Green. It's being brutally manipulated.

that's not possible. it's a bug when you overclock too much.

are you trolling or what?

some "clever" people have been saying that the market is going Green. If you see the last 4 months, we've only had declining market.

Nowadays, bears are just joking , trolling and misleading people to buy , showing green from time to time, inviting people to join the hype of a big green train to Max prices.....and as soon as they get their 4 or 5% they insta sell, because they consider that a realistic price of all coins are with ETH around 400$ and BTC at whatever price it's now. Noone believes it can go up right now. If they buy at 450$ ETH there is a possibility that you'll lose money. But buying in the lower part and massive selling at 400$ dollar range, you can be winning that 4-5% everytime forever.

i laugh very hard at those waiting for that bull run. If you believe in that, YOU ARE A MORON!!!!

The problems with ASICS are basically four

1º the use of specialized hardware such as ASICS to complete maths operations, and much more efficient, gives ASICS and advantage over GPU mining. That's a FACT that cannot be discussed.

2º Since you can get more money with less costs, it's possible to get profit quicker. Moreover, if you have a big farm, you can sell your coin directly to a big whale, and that coin will not go "into the system". Or said in other words. IF people buy coins from ASIC miners at lower cost than in the market, the market will say: there is NO DEMAND. So, the price will go down. We cannot control who sells the coins but we can try to harm ASICS users so that they don't artificially destroy the market.

3º If we had coins with unlimited amount of coins to mine, ASIC would still be a problem, but not as hard as today. almost all coins outthere have a max number of coins determined. the more power provided by ASICS , the less money you´ll get because you will be able to mine less coins-

4º ASIC makes the cryptomarket centralized. a small amount of people can have the power to hash almost all coins , disturbing the market and also controlling the price. That IS NOT TO BE ALLOWED BY ANY MEANS.

The problem with forks, is that normally, to make ASICS stay away from a coin, they also fork gpu miners, so we get less profit normally. the reduction of hashrate is good, but if you manipulate the price by using ASICS to create large amounts of coins, or to stop providing them to the market, you can obviously centralize the market , and that is something we don't want to have.

Bitmain has ASICS for almost all coins. And i think we should force devs to fork every little months.

According to some people, Vitalik has no interest on forking the algo, but just going to PoS once we achieve a 100 million coins.

I would not bet my money in that Vitalik will allow people to mine more ETH than 100 million coins.

aggreed. my reason is very simple. On December 2017, the network has rate of ETH was 130.000Gh/s. Today, we are at 245.000gh/s

Considering that almost all GPU's are doing about 30mh/s average

115.000gh/s = 115.000.000 mh/s.

thats 3.833.333 GPU's that in just 3 months  have entered all pools of ETH.

i simply can't believe that's possible. Bitmain is selling their Crap hardware. 180mh/s Asic mining crap. They have more efficent and more powerfull Asic mining hardware that have been pushing in for a while.

Consider this. Yesterday , at about the time of writing, we had a network hasrate of about 235.000gh/s. In just 24 horas, 10.000 gh/s have joined the ETH pool. thats like 333.333 gpu's joining the pool. Or get it this way. 55.555 6gpu's mining rigs switched to ETH in less than 24 hours.

Is this possible??? NO , OF COURSE NOT!!!!

jajajajajajaajajajajajajjaajjaajajjajajajajajajajajajaja

Regulations AND Taxes have already killed cryptocurrencies.

I laugh loud at those that think this taxes actually mean something positive. Taxes can be payed when you win money. But you are ACTUALLY LOSING IT. So, whenever you will need to cash out, since the government does not know at which price you bought, they will tax you as if that money was a profit, when, indeed, it's a lost.

Consider this. If the profit for a miner right now mining ETH, is just a few cents per card per day, can you imagine losing more money in taxes???

And what about those big whales??? do you think THEY HAVE NO OTHER PLACE TO PUT THEIR MONEY TO EVADE TAXES??? Are you all MAD?

The key here is: when did the apocallypse of crypto begun??? Well....the moment governments and banks begun talking about taxes , regulations and problably the end of anonymity.

In spain, btw, the government has started asking 16 exchanges and all the banks, to trace and track all operations with crypto and communicate that you the government so that the equivalent in Spain of the SEC, can crash those investors.

Cryptomarket is dead, and laws , regulations and Taxes have not even begun.

Don't be morons.

the blood bath is going down and down.

i don't see a bright future. rather the contrary.

Anyway, i've already sold 3 of my gpus, and got almost 35% profit over the money that i paid. Continue mining if you want. It's a total waste of time.

You want to mine and hold? that's right. But have you considered what will you do if the market does not recover in lets say a year now?? are you going to hold and pay big bills from your pocket getting no profit at all???

Sorry, that's not my shit. i would never accept that.

hour after hour, day after day, week after week, people have been saying the same things. Don't sell!!! now it's time to buy!!! the market will go up!!! we will see green very soon!!! all this kind of crap has been going on for almost two months now.

And reality is THOSE LIERS have led people to lose more money in this down-to-hell event in crypto. do not trust this people, and DO NOT BELIEVE IN LIES.

The market will not recover. The argument that whales want you to sell for them to buy, IT'S A FALSE ARGUMENT. Whales already have a lot of coins, and they are actually losing money right now. there is plenty of very cheap coins outthere.

Remember, Bears, are short term bulls. if they push too hard, they risk discouraging people from entering.

i´ll answer you straight forward.

1º Monero is H/s but that is irrelevant for what we are talking about.

2º The reduction in price that you are talking about , more than nowadays HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH NOWADAYS REASONS. by those days, the problem was not Taxes, nor regulations, nor Failed ICOS or directly SCAM ICOS, it was not about a huge increase in price like that that we saw in December. Nothing to do with governments trying to ban cryptos. Nor Youtube, google , twitter and others banning ads about crypto.

Obviously it had nothing to do with having a capitalization of 820 billion dollars and losing 75% of it. The SEC was not investigating people. China and South Korea had no plan on banning cryptos or closing exchanges. They had no idea of what was crypto as today, and very little people to almost noone knew about crypto, so the market was in hands of big whales cashing out.

Trying to compare this very different situations gives us an idea of your credibility. NEVER the community has had to deal with so many negative aspects around cryptomarket, and although coins have lost more value in %, the problems that face crypto nowadays are way deeper than those that made the coin collapse harder in the past.

Your last statement is glorious. So you tell me not to spread FUD, but you say without a single argument that the market can crash, and afterwards it can increase to numbers never seen before. And your arguments, reasons, data or technical analysis to saying that shitty things??? you have no clue. You are just one of those scared investors that are spreading their hope and thoughts among the community so as to discourage people to leave it, actually harming people WITH LIES.

You are far worst than me. Because i spread reality based on data, arguments and technical analysis that give me the reason. You only spread blind faith. You are only a moron. 

my 10 gpus are off and have been off for almost two weeks now. I don't regret it even once, because of many reasons.

1º i'm not a holder. If you are a holder mining, you are actually a moron. (though i can accept miners who mine , expecting the price to increase and sell to recover electricity bill + profit)

2º at 0,18$/Kwh, the profit per card is 0,18€/day. That's a no go for the vast amount of miners.

3º if you don't mine, you´ll not ROI ever, that's true, but considering the situation of the market, you can expect to be like months paying your electricity bill without a single € of profit, which is not what it was intended when i bought all my equipment.

4º nowadays, buying coins is far more profitable than mining. and if you know how to trade coins, (so you are a bear right now), you can get almost 5-10% profit almost everyday if you are a good one.

5º long term investment is the most risky situation you can imagine, because on the hypothetical situation of considering the market to increase, the only thing you can do is trust blindly on crypto. Because, nowadays, there is no argument, data, clue, information or technical analysis that can make you believe that that is gonna happen.

Mining nowadays is just assuming losses, that's why i will continue to keep my gpu's off.
