Running miners or not has nothing to do with believing. I let the system run already a few months with overcost. But at some point you can't justify to through anymore money out of the window. Because why overpay for crypto if you can just buy it cheap on a exchange?

 I'm trying currently option 2, did 1 just for fun and as expected no stupid people around. Had only offers from pros and they were lowballing me (rightly so). Option 3 would be just waiting, but still miners would stay offline ;-)

Sounds like a plan, option 3 is risky but with 1080ti you also got way better cards so probably worth the risk.. Unfortunately 580s are tight to ETH and this case doesn't look any good

Switzerland, you need some cards? :-P Thanks for your opinion guys, guess I have to sell separately then.

No such places unfortunately, have to go out completely, so then sell parts separately is the way to go.

I still got 3 rigs laying around with 28x rx580+ 8gb cards and don’t know what to do to be honest. Where would you place the value of this system? As I see it I got basically 3 options

options:
1. sell the miner right now dirt cheap and hope to find some enthusiast (but who would by a miner now?!)
2. try to sell each gpu / psu solely (would work but lot of effort
3. wait and hope in a couple of months prices are better in order to sell my miners

As I see it currently with the market, development, pos on the horizon etc. it will just getting worse. Hardware will just lose more value and hashrates gonna continue raising so I need to act now. Would favor a solution to sell all at once but would take a huge loss anyway. My PSU I could sell probably with a moderate loss, rx580 is overfloating the market. In my country (Switzerland) new card is retailed around 220 dollars, second hand you get them between 120 - 180.

/edit: what would be the price for the whole system? 4000 dollars? Well probably not even find someone who would pay so much to make it back I would pay only around 2500 hahahah. By the way stats: around 860 mh/s / 3850 watt.

Don't you understand what people are trying to tell you? If you believe in crypto and are looking long term anyway just buy the coins directly. Expanding mining at this stage makes no sense at all. Your electricity costs is way too high and gpu mining is dead. Sure you can mine for fun but you don't need to lose money investing in 6 rigs.

/edit: just did the math with your numbers. I got 28x rx580 8gb (well I don't run them anymore of course) producing around 860mh/s with 3800 watt power consumption, if I put in 15 cents for your costs roi would be minus 34% per day. Why would you pay for hardware in order to pay more for mining eth instead of buying it cheap. But if you are so keen on mining I can offer you a deal. You can have all my cards for free (all sapphire, run with low voltage modes) - just give me 1 eth back per month for the next 12 months ;-)

Indeed dark days for GPU miners. I had to switch off my miners too, it just makes no sense to mine at loss if you could buy it directly for cheap. Problem is... I'm sitting on 28x rx580 8gb cards collecting dust. Makes absolutely no sense to run it but selling the rigs is nearly impossible even for cheap. Only option would be to sell each card solo but then again gamers don't care about rx580 and everybody hates mining cards. OR I wait a couple of months and maybe an opportunity for a new coin occurs but then again everybody would switch instantly to mine it so I think GPU mining is finally dead. In my area I would get 100 dollar if lucky, still see some ads been online for months trying to sell cards.

Just checked the bitmain website and the second batch of the e3 hash is listed for 1800 dollar. Maybe the first batch was cheap but 1800 Dollar (180 mh/s and 800w) for an asic is a actually a horrendous price. Who is gonna buy such an overpriced asic which will be obsolet in a couple of months and the hardware will have zero resell value?

2 possibilities: 1) pool is down (usually doesn't appear often) or more causable it's your settings. Use at least 11.5 (auto drci enabled) and try lowering your mclock (gpu memory clock speed). mclock gives you the hash but also the incorrect shares.

got a odd problem... installed my second rig today (one gpu directly plugged to the mainboard) and set windows and everything up. As soon as I connect some cards with risers (all working, got the new 009 series with leds) I get no image at all. So I removed all risers, put one card directly on the asrock 110 pro again --> working. Connected 4 more cards with risers and started claymore --> 4 gpu are mining instead of 5. Took away the card from the from the pci 16 slot and again no image. So what's wrong? I get only a screen when the card is on my board, lol. I didn't had similar problems the first time, any idea what setting is wrong?

I changed some settings (timing strap, powertune, memory with a friend) with polaris bios editor / ati flash (brings me around 28 mh/s, so it's not to the max) and this is my config in claymore

#       GPU0,GPU1,GPU2,GPU3,GPU4,GPU5,GPU6
-cclock 1190,1200,1200,1140,1190,1200,1200
-mclock 2190,2200,2200,2140,2190,2200,2200
-cvddc   900, 875, 850, 875, 875, 850, 850
-mvddc   900, 875, 850, 875, 875, 850, 850

Got the same issue but with my rx580 rig, all 7 cards running stable at 31 mh/s. From time to time gpu0 suddenly crashes to a rate around 5-10 mh/s and after a few minutes hits back to 31. There are no error logs showing up, also no incorrect shares and temps are fine. Card has also the same setup as other cards (no oc), kinda strange since it just appeared lately, running currently v 11.5

here you can see it: https://imgur.com/iQeWpKJ

What do you mean? A value can't lose more than 100% lol, unless you're trading with futures.

switched from 11.0 to 11.5 and running since 5 hours stable, so far no problems. Also believe stale shares are slightly lower and performance is better (0.1 - 0.2 mh/s per card)

So what is your solution then? I got two rigs and the first one has the ideal setup. It runs corsair hxi series and each gpu / riser pair is both connected to the same single cable. On my second rig I got EVGA psu, but since - unlike corsair - they're missing a double 6+2 pin I had to connect the risers with extra cables. Risers are still powered by molex however I had to use an adapter to sata and one cable powers now two risers. Should I avoid it and buy more 6pin cables?

Today I just gave it a shot and installed SimpleOS on my second rig. However I do have problems with the pool, I did try eu1.ethermine.org but I get errors:

- ETH: Jobe tieout, disconnect, retry in 20 sec
- ETH: Share rejected

Also it detects only 7 of my 8 cards, what to do? Using pretty standard settings:

What is wrong? When I use a standard configuration it seems to work.

correct, for example this is my config

same here, but running 11.0 with eu1:ethermine.org4444 and today got around 10% stale shares, didn't change any settings at all

yes you can use different algo for each card, since you can also disable cards for mining.

Don't know why there is no love at all for the fans I replaced the cheap china fans and did some hours of testing. Fan settings of gpu were on automatic, cards temperture went down at least 15 degrees without changing any settings. Even more impressive since the gpu fans were on 40% and run now on 25%. So overall the impact is even bigger. As soon as I can move the rig to a different location I'll set the gpu fans around 50% and should see easy temps below 50 degrees for my rx580.
