I think you are slightly confused. The protol tries to keep the AVERAGE block discovery time around 10 minutes. It is never actually 10 minutes which is what the difficulty adjustment tries to adjust.

Current block generation times:

Block Generation Time(?):    
1 block: 9.3 minutes
3 blocks: 27.8 minutes
6 blocks: 55.6 minutes

Sometimes they are found back to back, sometimes there is a long delay

32 minutes in between the ones listed above.

They were never that profitable, maybe half that at best. That profit was the result of a hyper inflated market and chances are we will never see anything like that again. This isnt an industry where you can look at a specific point in time in the past and say "look at how good this stuff is" because that data is completely irrelevant.

Also for the price of those 50 cards you can buy 24 z9 minis and make $240 a day....

What exactly is the purpose of adding a second fan other than wasting electricity? Even overclocked these things pull a hair over 400 watts and dont put much heat out at all.

I dont get it?

To this day the only argument people have against ASICs is that it has damaged the profitability of their personal GPU rigs. GPU miners are purely motivated by greed, and could care less about any of these coins and what they are used for. The BS claims about centralization everyone likes to parrot are really pretty meaningless. There are already large scale GPU farms out there, I have personally managed over 12k GPUs at my farm. Buying and running an ASIC at home is much more cost effective than building a GPU rig these days.

I personally replaced my 50 GTX 1070s with a single z9 mini at home while dropping power consumption from nearly 8000 watts down to a tiny, quiet 400w device that takes up hardly any space. This train of ASIC hate makes no sense nor is this feeling of entitlement that the devs of coin XYZ you are mining have some responsibility to counter ASICs just because you are gracing them with your hash rate. You and your 2 overpriced GPU rigs in the corner of your house are not doing anything meaningful, get over yourself.

BCC is well known as a scam coin, I cant see this generating any interest as nobody would want to be associated with a ponzi scheme like that.

Am I missing something here? If the price point is in the $200-300 range, these will NEVER ROI, like not even close. There is no way you can look at these where they make financial sense. Its literally just throwing money away.

No thank you. Liquid cooling might be fun for people jerking around at home but it would be a nightmare trying to run 10000+ liquid cooled units in my datacenter

This has nothing to do with bitcoin, you need to post in the proper altcoin section for answers.

Why are you advertising an altcoin mining rig in the BITCOIN section of the forum?

110TH for 3200 watts.....why do you guys need to know anything more about it than that?

Its so beyond obvious its not real just from the specs.

lets hope these catch on fire less than their GPU mining products!

I wish my miners came with extra hashing chips. Im jealous!


The S7s used to report 48 chips on the 45 chip boards when they failed all the time but ive never seen an S9 do that out of the thousands that I run.

At current prices, raw profit on an s9 is only $102. Anyone hosting would be losing $15/month

This news literally means nothing. The mining cards were near impossible to get and had dogshit warranties. As someone who mined with 10k plus graphics cards I never even entertained the thought of buying the mining specific versions.

This makes no sense. Because profitability is not where you think it should be, somehow PoW is getting phased out? There is nothing out there even close to replacing it. Go take a look at how bad the PoS stuff for ethereum has gone....

No. ASIC literally stands for APPLICATION SPECIFIC. Meaning it is purpose built to do one thing, in this case its to hash SHA256...you cant change it.

There are people that can flash custom firmware where you can turn down the clocks and have it run at a lower speed but why would you want to reduce profitability in that way when its already so poor?

No. The network does not know what types of machines are mining. That would also be an enormous amount of data to try and track.

Also, the data itself is meaningless as you cannot use historical data to forecast with any accuracy at the machine level.

This needs to be posted in the Marketplace under Goods > Computer Hardware

HI.

1. This is the bitcoin section, no GPU discussion as it does not relate to bitcoin.

2. The 1050 is a piece of junk for mining, you shouldnt even be entertaining the thought of buying one. At minimum you want a 1060.

The power supply is your surge protector. Go take a look at the input voltages...most are 100v-240v...they all output steady 12v power. The worst that will happen is you will pop a PSU or trip a breaker. You are wasting your money on anything else.
