I'm looking into using my gpus as stable, remotely controlled source of heat, so what setups most stable do you find? I do autolycos/eth/etc/zilhash on amd. whats up with 1080ti/nvidia? is phoenix still the most stable + vs hash output on dagger-hashimoto /(ethash) what else is there worth engaging with? any interesting chains?
The GTX 1080 TI is useless as a mining graphics card and as a heat source today. The dagger-hashimoto / (ethash/etсash) algorithm is now filled with asics and video cards are useless there. Old equipment does not always work stably. If my friend asked me what to mine with such a GPU, I would advise you to sell it and buy cryptocurrencies. |

Mining for this moment can using Cloud. so, you buy cloud server or hosting and you can get mining like you want.
There are a lot of scammers in random mining. To understand the real profit of mining companies well, you will need to study their financial statements. All scammers usually have more profit than real miners and the bitcoin hashrate is constantly growing. |

I apologize for asking imperfect questions.
Here is more information:
1. It is located near Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia.
2. Electricity rate $0.02/kwh (floating)
3. Stable coal supply electricity and the government recognizes bitcoin mining as a legal industry.
With such tariffs, it would be a new heaven for miners, but something is not right here. On the left is Kazakhstan, on the right and below is China. Both countries banned mining or made it unprofitable. I have not heard that miners from Kazakhstan or China have fled to Mongolia, although it does not take long to transport equipment across the border. |

How long does your used asic miner lasted for? If you are using used mining equipment please drop your results on here, have you ever bought a particular used equipment that lasted for years with no problems at all? For how long actually?
Could you advise someone to buy used Asic miners too? Or newer is safer? Does new or used matter?
Do new asic miner have problems in the short term too?
if you use a product from Bitmain it will last a very long time, because used miners from Bitmain are very good and last very great material. I bought in 2018, so far it's still running well. Not all Bitmain asics work for a long time without problems, but many S9s still work fine, but they are practically not used because they are not profitable. S19 is also a good series from Bitmain, but you need to look at the difference between the price of new equipment and used. |

Looks great. I too tend to scale back or shut off mining in the summer due to not wanting to exhaust all the cool air from my house only to have to power my air conditioner to recool it. Besides the added electrical cost, you’ll wear out your AC unit and have costly repair bills. It’s too hot where I live to get by with a mining shed or I’d be all over it.
Air conditioners have always been expensive cooling for mining. Miners therefore use ventilation, and fans are inexpensive and have a long lifespan.Video cards with good ventilation tolerate heat well and at temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius on the street I had no big problems. |

Agree with OP.
An PCIe ASIC card would be sick, I would buy for sure.
Let's assume that Chinese engineers can take one of the boards with ASIC chips and make it compatible with a PC via a PCIe interface. The ASIC uses powerful fans to cool the chips. Will you turn your PC into a noisy monster? Such a board will economically lose to ASICs. None of that applies to using ASICs in a custom system vs using ASICS with a PCie (or USB) interface in a commodity system. ASiCs are ASICs no matter how they are used. In this I agree with you. ASIC is a standalone device and does not need an additional interface, except for connecting a LAN cable. If we connect some kind of mining device to the motherboard, then it will be an analogue of a video card or FPGA. One negative is that new motherboards have fewer PCIe slots and more m.2. m.2 to PCIe splitters will be needed for the next mining bull when and if it happens. Don't buy new motherboards from stores, they will always have trouble setting the maximum number of graphics cards. Good and proven kits for 8-12 video cards are cheaper than $ 100 and motherboards have convenient USB ports for raisers. https://aliexpress.ru/popular/b75-motherboard-mining.html |

There's 110TH S19 pro advertised on ebay for $1975. I can afford to buy small mining hardware but it's bad news because I didn't know about hash rates until the present. Those hash rates won't make me wealthy so isn't worth entering cryptocurrency mining. I'll need 34,500 S19 Pro's for 1% of Bitcoin's total hash. It's $51M investment if one costs $1500. Big quantities of mining hardware run in gigantic farms generating mighty hashes of power. Who's behind the farms. How profitable are they. It isn't fair they're consolidating so much bitcoin for themselves but it's an open market it's business. You still need to have access to 112 megawatts per hour. You don't plug all those ASICs into your home outlet  If you post investments to build the necessary infrastructure for mining, then you don't want to do it. But if you can start mining, then the profit will be already on the 2nd day of work. |

 Who mines this coin on hard drives? Is this a very good profit for hard drive mining? Are these standard mining rewards or do you have to wait until the hard drive is completely filled with information for the maximum reward? |

I'm glad to be helpful. There is only one way to make money on such a coin. Wait until there is a listing on the exchange and try to sell the coin with a good profit. But the coin may not live to see the listing, so the miner will pay the electricity bill. It is already unprofitable to sell immediately, the profit has fallen.
Canxium seems to be doing okay. https://safe.trade/trading/cauusdtI wonder if it will last or if will do like some of the other alt coins and disappear. You can sell 50-80% of the mined coins and keep the rest if you wish. I do not believe in similar coins, but we do not invest in them, but try to get more profit from mining. When a coin appears on the exchange, the mining profit will drop to the standard values on other coins. |

With KAs miner, I need to do the calculations, but why order a new ASIC and wait for delivery, if you can mine on old ASICs now? After the launch of new ASICs, the complexity of the network should increase. In terms of energy efficiency, a new ASIC is not much better than three old ones, but in 3 months 3 old ASICs will give $ 900 profit. I consider the electricity tariff at 5 cents.
Newer Asics for new coins are the most riskiest indeed. The higher the risk the higher potential rewards or loss. If i had to choose which asics to mine, my biggest bet is Litecoin miners and Bitcoin miners. Not a big gambler This ASIC is made for only one coin - Кaspa. But the Jasminer X16P asic will also mine one coin - Ethereum classic, the rest of the coins are very weak. I have always chosen mining variability, and this is the purchase of video cards. Of the ASICs, I don’t like anything today. Maybe it will pass in a year, when GPU mining finally dies. But we still hope for a profit |

Yes i agree no need for experiment. Videos on youtube you can find hashrate and settings before card even launch  Its always a good thing when you try to make some experiments by yourself , specialy when you have your one miners. Not every card is the same others and the setup sometimes is different , even when you have the same Hardware as in some youtube videos it can be different. I agree that maybe the basic settings can be helpful , but optimize your one miners with testing is a learning process that everybody should going trough. All my overclocking cards were worse than those of the miners on YouTube A lot of what I saw could not work for a long time. Or if we talk about downvolting, then I'd rather burn the extra 50-100 kilowatts on the mining farm, but it will work stably for the whole month. With experience, you understand that a stable operation of a mining farm pays off faster than experimenting with settings, which cause more problems. |

The introduction of Ethereum's staking withdrawal functionality in mid-April has sparked a surge in interest for liquid staking tokens.
Among liquid staking providers, Lido has established overwhelming dominance, boasting the highest supply, liquidity, and integration network effects, all of which solidify its position in the market.
A new trend has evolved in regard to the DeFi integration of liquid staking tokens. Liquidity pools associated with liquid staking are witnessing a decline in locked value, as capital migrates towards use as collateral in lending protocols.https://insights.glassnode.com/the-week-onchain-week-27-2023/

Автор: RickDeckardОригинальная тема: [Windows] Automate downloading TalkImg backup files
[Windows] Автоматизируйте загрузку резервных копий файлов TalkingПосле нескольких неудачных попыток создать резервную копию файлов с помощью Powershell, у автора получилось сделать это в Windows, используя комбинацию wget и планировщика заданий. Если вам нужны резервные копий файлов, предоставленных @joker_josue (и не очень разбирается в технологиях), вы можете воспользоваться следующим руководством для Windows (спасибо TryNinja за альтернативный вариант) и Linux (спасибо @LoyceV!): WINDOWSНеобходимое ПО: Скачайте wget.exe отсюда[1]. Команда для загрузки может быть одним из этих вариантов: wget --progress=bar:force -r -c -nd -A.zip -np <URL> Описание каждой команды: - --progress=bar:force : Отображает индикатор выполнения для каждого файла, который вы в конечном итоге загрузите;
- -r : Рекурсивная загрузка. Этот параметр отвечает за загрузку каждого файла с заданного URL-адреса;
- -c : Проверяет, существуют ли такие файлы в папке. Если да, то не будет повторной загрузки. Если они существуют, загрузка продолжается с того места, где она закончилась;
- -nd : Предотвращает создание папок в каталоге, в котором сохраняются файлы;
- -A.zip : Будет искать только файлы, с расширением ".zip";
- -np : Wget не будет отображаться в каталоге, который в данный момент просматривается/используется;
Если вы хотите загрузить в другую папку, вы можете изменить команду: wget --progress=bar:force -r -c -nd -A.zip -np -P <Path to folder> <URL> Новый параметр ( -P) загрузит wget файлы в указанный вами каталог. Насчет новой задачи: Откройте планировщик заданийэто можно сделать, нажав клавишу Windows и набрав «Планировщик заданий». Создание и настройка заданияНажмите «Создать новое задание» в главном окне, которое откроется после выполнения:  В появившемся новом меню назовите ваше задание. Здесь она названо «TalkImg Backup» и не добавлено дополнительного описания (это нормально). Нажмите «Далее» :  В этом новом меню вы можете выбрать, как часто это задание будет запускаться. Учитывая, что веб-сайт делает еженедельные резервные копии (за предыдущую неделю),«Еженедельно» . Нажмите «Далее»  Предполагается, что резервные копии всегда будут обновляться в воскресенье (в соответствии с последним обновленным пакетом). Таким образом, выберите «Понедельник» . Вы также можете выбрать время загрузки (для этого примера выбрано 08:00). Когда вы закончите настройку, нажмите «Далее» :  В следующем меню нажмите «Запустить программу», а затем «Далее» :  В этом новом меню вы получите два важных поля, которые необходимо заполнить:  - Программа/скрипт: здесь вы должны указать путь к файлу wget, указанному ранее[1]. В качестве примера добавлено "D:\wget.exe"
- Дополнительные параметры (необязательно): это будет командная строка, которую вы «скормите» ранее совместно используемому wget [1]. Если хотите, чтобы выходные файлы загружались в другой каталог, то используйте следующую команду
wget --progress=bar:force -r -nd -A.zip -np -P "D:\TalkImg Backup" https://talkimg.com/tempbackups/ Когда закончите, нажмите «Далее» . В следующем меню вы сможете просмотреть настройки задания. В этом примере сценарий будет запускаться «Еженедельно; в 08:00 каждый понедельник каждой недели, начиная с 06.08.2023» . Если все выглядит нормально, просто нажмите «Готово» :  TryNinja CMD методДля тех, кто предпочитает использовать командную строку, вы также можете создать задание с помощью этой команды: SCHTASKS /Create /TN "TalkImg Backup" /SC WEEKLY /D MON /ST 08:00 /TR "C:\path\to\wget.exe --progress=bar:force -r -nd -A.zip -np -P \"D:\TalkImg Backup\" https://talkimg.com/tempbackups/" Просто не забудьте изменить путь к файлу wget.exe, а также место для сохранения файлов (например, D:\TalkImg Backup\). Я использую это в Linux в cronjob: #!/bin/bash
cd /data/backup_talkimg
sleep $(( $RANDOM % 22 ))h; sleep $(( $RANDOM % 59 ))m # Random time each day
wget -q --no-parent -rcA.zip https://www.talkimg.com/tempbackups/ Есть один недостаток: если joker_josue заменит старый .zip чем-то другим с тем же именем, мой локальный файл будет перезаписан. Но мое локальное резервное копирование с помощью «Машины времени» гарантируют, что я не потеряю файлы таким образом. Я использую случайное время для распределения пропускной способности сервера. Повторный запуск занимает всего секунду, поэтому ежедневные проверки новых данных не имеют значения. Поздравляем! Вы создали свою задание и теперь выступаете в качестве резервного агента для изображений, размещенных на TalkImg. Ура! Изменения- 10/06/2023: В команду добавлен параметр "-c".
- 11/06/2023: Добавлено руководство по Linux и альтернативный метод для Windows. Спасибо LoyceV и TryNinja!

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. |

Why does a miner sell his mining equipment?
If you buy in China on the Alibaba marketplace, then such a purchase is risky. If this is your first experience and you do not have a trusted partner who guarantees the quality of the equipment, then it is better to buy a new ASIC. I don't know how good a price you were offered, but there are a lot of circumstances in such a case. I would not give advice until I found out the cost of new equipment and the condition and time of operation of a used ASIC.
