My only FPGA risk assessment:
Creating a FPGA based mining schism just entices another shitmain to come to fruition.
The future is seen through these eyes. I see the future behind us.
There's only greed now in crypto prices for fpga's will never go down only up once a greedy bastard like shitmain starts getting evolved just swapping one devil for the other that's right. Too much greed is involved in crypto world and it is raising too high. It is shame. |

limitations on bandwidth from risers also curbs many of the large GPU farms.
you kidding, what are you talking about? bandwidth of pci-e 1x will be enough for mining unit our generation die. does the gpu mine faster if it is in x16 or in x1? No. and when you are out of pci-e lanes, I bet that gou aint going to mine. |

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ETH network hashrate going to the moon!!!!

i do aggree, in December 2017 the network hashrate was about 130.000gh, now it's double that, at 260.000gh so around 100% increase. But i had not seen such growth within days. for instance, the network hashrate can vary from 240.000 21st July to 262.000 today.
Are 22.000gh/s moving around? thats a lot of gpus or ASICS machines. i think this "mining madness" is not only for users. I think many gobernments are mining this. for instance, watch that Rusian that mined for 3 months BTC using institucional hardware and mined around 500.000BTC which is worth 4 billion $ right now.
It could be many reasons, one is that bitmain is turning eth asics off and shipping to users, reason why difficulty is dropping and then after users get them then turn them on, difficulty rises, bitmain does not turn them all off but bits by bits. Bitmain will put more f3 online and it will be as soon as nvidia launches the next generation of gpus, so idiots will say it was nvidias gpu's, I myself see the difficulty to jump 70% by december 2018 and eth's price to increase 150%. Also bitmain might be moving f3 around to where the e3 were. Profitability wise, eth mining profits were never this bad. Even when eth used to cost $8, you would still get $1.50 per card, right now, if you are a miner mining eth, profit is down to $0.30 per card, that is 5 times less than used to be, so price will have to catch up to that, rule number one if you are holding eth is do not panic sell, wait for the price to align, which means eth at $2500 and then you sell the eth you mined today, tomorrow. your ETH price estimation seems really unreal for me. i don't think it will get to 2500$ never. In fact, see my signature. On the other hand, i don't think Bitmain gives a shit about people blaiming them. They already count on this. Most, if not all algos pro-nvidia are ASIC-centralized right now. Unless Nvidia cards give a huge amount of Mh/s on the ETH network, i don't see miners going for this. and lets not talk about it if prices don't increase. For instance, watch RX Vegas giving like what, 37mh/s? (considering RX Vega 56 are doing around 32mh/s) and they remain unsold due to price. Unless GTX 1180 are doing like 45 ....... Hope you are wrong and difficulty does not increase more. Or at least, not at current prices. the volta cards that were 2k did 90mhs eth, the 1180 will do at least 70 if not more. next gen gpu will be better efficiency wise and resale value than any asic. if the 1170 cab do 50 to 60mhs as I expect it will be the the new king at $499. samsung ram vega 56 cards do 44 mhs eth at 160 watts, those are the only vegas you should be buying 70mhs, where did you hear this. I think you are dreaming a little. |

the cheap one is us post office flat rate medium box I think that is about 6 to 10 days to most of the world.
fedex is fedex one is faster then the other.
one is about 6 days the other is about 3 days
what country are you in?
I am in EUROPE, so I don't know If i can take that flat rate 75 USD shipping, also I don't intend to pay tax to them because tax will be payed to my customs when it arrives to my country. Also because my customs will be charging me TAX on complete value (Goods + shipping) it important to say that if i buy something for 200USD and shipping is 150 USD, customs will be charging TAX on 350 USD. Because of that I don't want to for someone to return me overpriced shipping later because my expense would be expanded to bigger proportions because of VAT. I think this is so unprofessional to start major operation without testing the web shop. I am also from EU. GPUHoarder said that the VAT you pay on their side includes the import tax, so you should pay only once and customs should not charge you. Hovewer i have no hard evidence that it is really that way. I really don't understand how they could pay TAX for me? That doesn't sound right at all. No one can pay tax in your behalf, only thing they must do is provide papers that states how much are the goods in USD, how much is the shipping in USD and state of origin that goods came from. Otherwise it could happens that you pay TAX on all that together and that would be very bad. And that is something that usually happens with USA companies that doesn't give a crap about EU market. me neither. Something is wrong. |
