Are aware of prices of coins right now.?They are bleeding no surprise paying so low.

I have a feeling that these miners are used. I always asked in many places why monero hashrate is damn high it is jot profitable with cpu even you have ryzen 9 it pays pennies. Now i got my answer.

Another newbie advertising ks asics  Grin come on people are not stupid.good luck with your ks Ekaterinaaaa
This user does not advertise stores for buying ASICs and the post is not very informative for advertising.
If I was paid for advertising, I would show my mining progress every day Smiley
The price of this ASIC should greatly decrease in a month along with the profit from it.
He or she trying make fomo on people.yes maybe advertising word wrong but people who reada it can get in fomo and order asics too which will arrive to them 6months later or who knows.this happened before and happens again.there will be people always calculate roi and do stupid orders and pay that money hoping roi in 30days.

even low quality components gets a good life span if you use them at half the rated spec and in cooler environment.

an example is LED bulbs i own Philips, that have average lifespan of 1 year (heavy use), i had a chinese (forgot the brand), but due to aluminum heat sink to the electronic component, lasted for 4+ years (heavy use).

hehe that's why you don't throw old cards, you stress test first with a bunch of 290x and then run it light and cool.

even branded quality PSUs breaks down due to heat and high load. huge ATX PSU will save you the trouble of dealing with break out boards.

also if it is cheap, it will ROI faster.
There is a big guarantee for branded power supplies up to 10 years, although these branded power supplies broke down for me. But since service centers in my country do not repair them, the sellers returned the money to me for the purchase. Sometimes it turned out to buy a similar power supply cheaper.
There may not be a problem with Chinese power supplies, but now it is better to buy a proven branded PSU, because they are cheap.

Here is the math,

1300w branded psu ~ 300$
2600w chinese cheap psu ~ 150$

The 1300w can be used for 80% load, that's ~ 1000w, the 2600w used at 50% is 1300w.

Warranty is already priced in the retail, at ~300$ you already bought the 10yr warranty. For the cheap psu, you don't need to wait for 10 years for ROI.

I would only use the cheap psu on old gpus, when upgrading use the branded on new cards, move the old cards to the chinese psu.


I agree with you dear friend. I have 3 chinese psu 1600w cost me 40-50$ each used. I loaded them 900w and they are working since 2017. They are not bad but i saw there is rubbish chinese psu too.1st of all when you get pay into your hands it must be heavy. Only this reason i bought these cinese psus they are heavy.it is best way i guess to understand if psu is good quality if you dont have nothing to measure.
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Do you think it will be ok to order a batch of video cards from China for mining on: August 02, 2023, 07:08:58 PM
Short answer is yes
But not all sellers are honest.so be prepared do maintance.those cards from china comes in bad condition even some needs repair damaged parts.
29  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Ravencoin DAG size on: August 02, 2023, 07:05:18 PM
Ravencoin DAG size is growing very fast. I think non-Video card tools have been released
Dont panic kawpow is asic resistant algorithm.even there was asics it cant make dag size grow faster.

Bravo!Bravo! Who can else advertise iceriver miners so beautifully? Good luck and dont forget reply here after 12months later.
31  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Alternative Mining Portal to NiceHash on: July 26, 2023, 04:11:26 PM
Something is wrong. With that cpu +gpu you should be making 0.15-0.2$ day. Or you are not online 24hours? You can convert btc to xlm then withdraw for couple of cents.but it is good withdraw big portions. Sending 5$ and paying 0.2cent for fee not good idea.
32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Actual Cryptocurrencies on: July 26, 2023, 04:07:04 PM
I believe there will be new hero for gpu miners near future. Only thing is just SURVIVE now
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: RTX 5090 and others on: July 26, 2023, 04:02:51 PM
gddr7 will come with these gpus, the bandwith is par hbm3 on max wide&clock, thats gonna new massive uplift in perfomance fueled 3nm or maybe 2nm fabricated.
2025 should be epic in gpu&cpu tech, while mobile release lpddr6 open new possible way to harnesh already amazing apu these day which is still stuck bottleneck alongside lpddr5
Yeap i seen gddr7 news too from samsung. I hope this time memory chips will be metal on top for cooling. Otherwise it will be disaster.
34  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: RTX 5090 and others on: July 21, 2023, 04:48:30 PM
Nah tsmc 3nm boring. I liked samsungs job what they did with rtx 3000 series.amazing cards like gtx1000 series.i wish nvidia gives this job to samsung again.dont care nanometers we care hashrate.
I want an nvidia graphics card with HBM3 memory Smiley
Now a lot of coins for mining depend on the core of the video card and the memory does not greatly affect the hash rate, although Samsung has released an announcement about its new DDR7 memory.
"boosted speed per pin of up to 32Gbps."

Yeah tell that rtx4000 series. 4060 4060ti 4070 they look junk even core related algorithms.i hate AMD that they found increasing cache and decreasing bandwidth now nvidia did it with rtx4000 series. I was hopping and believed AMD in 2020-2021 they will do best mining cards but they did worst job in rx6000 series.efintity cache whats so ever.now all cards with big cache but tine bandwidth.128bit what a joke.lets increase more cache and reduce bandwidth to 32-64bit. 
HBM memory sounds great.i love them too.vegas are incredible cards even today monster cards that lives among us.

If you get asic today then ok but tricky thing with asics been people order but until it arrives to you profitable allready dissapears.i mean people waited couple of months for asics arrive. On hashrate skyrocket explains some genius people allready mining it for long time.they can be developers or very close asic manufactures to project.if you are in china and get this asic to your hands right now then is fine like i said.
37  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Help on general mining ? on: July 05, 2023, 04:05:21 PM
Unfortunately now there is no time for experiments or experiments.
Thats not true there is always time , specialy for new users for experiments so that they get themself some experience that is needed for mining and setting up things.
If everybody thinks the same way about that you doing then miners will be getting stuck or have no idea how to do.

If you want to mine, then you need to have an advantage over other miners in the ability to find new coins,
Really ? Sounds like you have all knowen before you started mining .
Dont know when you started , but i started in the end of 2011 and in 2012 around that was exactly the time you describe now.
Today its more community friendly as it was back in the days when i started , so why not help new users that have questions.
I started mining a few years later than you, but back then there were very few miners and a lot of home mining opportunities.
I don’t understand what kind of experiments we can talk about now, when there is a lot of information about each video card, overclocking options and profit on all algorithms. Now it's a business. If a beginner has expensive electricity, then even if he is the most experienced miner, he will not be able to earn on mining.
Yes i agree no need for experiment. Videos on youtube you can find hashrate and settings before card even launch  Grin

Ok it is now 2years gone since i started this post.that cakes in 2021 i sold for loss 10 or 20$ bucks i dont remember.no need for staking guys just bought cakes for 2.5 and latest i bouhgt some for 1.5$ now i have more coins ever i had Grin i can say you can get 10 times more coins than 2 years ago.
So no need for stake just wait for coins drop to 95-98% you get more coins.

If I want to invest, I'd rather buy video cards, because the profit in mining is higher than the profit in staking.
Even now you can buy equipment with a profit of 30% per annum, and in staking, only potential dead coins have a high percentage.
I guess staking is not for miners. Myself tested and how it works and results bad.and i believe pow will proof itself during the time.people will learn that pos and staking making coins from thin air. Pow is you have to work spend gear energy it costs it has value.

From the Radeon cards in AMD the most efficient is still the Rx 5700 xt at 115 watt 55 Mhsh if I recall it correctly.Mining is not profitable but you can use Nicehash or any mining pool that pays out in Bitcoin like 2miners,you can do so only if you believe in the long term profit of Bitcoin price.I personally believe a lot in the Bitcoin price and I have kept a home miner with just 2 cards running at my home,despite now making only little money I strongly believe that after two years where most of us expect the next all time high price this amount that I will make will give me a considerable amount.The temperatures are high as I keep them in my living room where we have also the kitchen near and outside temperature is 37 degree Celsius,air conditioner is on but that is the min temperature.


These temperatures high for me.it will be more healthier if you can drop.
