Yup, as shown in the past, mining is only a temporary spike. They need to take care of the core market.
Unfortunatelly Nvidia is (once again) trying to put out the fire with quick and bad solution. They were unprepared for the third time in the row with the current crypto hype and still they do not have a strategy, a proper solution to the issue. Now they are trying to sell old hardware to miners which is "specialized for mining" and at the same time disabling home users by bricking future gaming gpus which is essentially a kick in the ass for the much needed decentralized mining. This is very very bad solution and will not solve the issues addressed. Fist of all - if profitability will be good then miners will buy ANYTHING that is capable of mining (gaming/specialized) and will try to override the driver/bios obstacles that Nvidia puts in new products. And secondly - miner will ALWAYS buy best price/performance product and not some fancy-named "specialized" products.

that means about 370,000 3080.s. were added in 7 weeks. so 7.1 x that = 2.62 million gpus a year. Just for mining.
could that be correct?
Due to the fact that every single computer-related community, even large sites like anandtech, tomshardware, etc. are talking about mining this means that every single 3xxx 68xx that is sold it is actually used for mining, let it be professional miners or gamers. Due to the hype and media cover, everybody knows about mining and everybody is mining. So yes, the vast majority of new hashrate is from 3xxx 68xx ... ASIC can't just come ouf of the blue ...

Anyone else noticed the bug in ethminer generating DAG files? When trying to generate DAG file for any block larger than 3870000, it will only produce a 0-size file. Try this: ethminer.exe -D 3870000 It will run just of a few seconds, generate 0-bytes file "full-R23-3868abc5dcee2334" and exit. This has now been fixed by Ethereum core devs. @Genoil or whoever is still maintaining various ethminer forks: make sure to include this patch, or else ethminers will simply "die" after block block 3870000.

sgminer-gm seems to be working fine with an old SA kernel both with RX 480 and with GTX 1060. (Obviously, it's really slow and hardware monitoring is not available for the latter.) Porting GG's kernel to sgminer-gm should not be that difficult if SA's kernel is already working. Let's see if I can quickly hack up a new version...
Please, make yourself a favour and don't dig into sgminer. Even though it is a great multi-algorithm miner and also we at NiceHash support it for long time, it has too much legacy and is too bloated. It goes back to original minerd, through cgminer, into sgminer, with lots "ifs" inside. Modern algorithms and modern gpus need lightweight miners, and nhqminer is one of them, you're really welcome to try working on nheqminer (it can be easily extended with support for other algorithms, besides equihash).

@Genoil, if I understand correctly I can not generate DAG file locally (saved on my drive) with 1.1.x version of ethminer? I noticed that if I use latest 1.0.x windows build, I can only generate DAGs up to block 3840000 (-D,--create-dag <number>) ... if I specify any larger block, ethminer crashes. Is this an issue with Ethereum generally, or an issue with ethminer?

Any plans for supporting Zcoin (XZC) ? Zcoin is using equihash algorithm - the link I gave you is correct. Just a small correction here. Zcoin (XZC) uses Lyra2REv2, and this algorithm is supported already for a long time on NiceHash. Do not mix Zcoin with Z.CASH - z.cash is a new coin, which will be using equihash algorithm and this algorithm has been just recently added to NiceHash.
