Of course, the developer of the miners writes which version of the drivers to use. Even in our forum section, some miners complained about the low hashrate until they thought of reading the readme file and updating the drivers. But the problem is that many developers do not optimize software for 1000 and 2000 series.
1703  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Gamers beware: miners are now painting GPU memory on: February 17, 2023, 10:13:57 AM
I am not surprised. They have been doing this for years.

In the past a buddy of mine bought some R9 290 GPU on alibaba because it was "super cheap". It arrived and looked legit. Had a box labelled r9 290 and everything. However upon installation it was something like an R9 270. He complained and got a refund.

They do this because they know that most experienced gamers won't be buying any china brand GPUs. They do this because they hope that some newbie buys this and doesn't notice its a generation lower than displaced and since it still works in games, they don't complain.

That’s pretty shady. Intentionally trying to sell a GPU as a different GPU is on another level. You pretty much have to assume that GPUs bought from China for below MSRP are going to be used no matter what they claim. It’s like when ordering antminers from Bitmain. They say that they’re new but a close inspection will tell a different story as some parts are caked in dust.

Basically if somebody like my Dad bought a GPU he would of never known. My Dad is cheap and buys everything from Alibaba and he never uses it. He would of just either bought it and left it unpacked for years, or would install it, see that it works and just never play games on it. Its these types of people that buy these types of GPUs and why the sellers get away with it.

People see that you can get a $500 GPU for only $250 and they think its a steal, they buy it and never know. Most gamers would never pay $250 for a GPU that is suppose to be $500 because they know its common sense that its way too cheap and something is wrong. Its the same with WISH dot COM, they also sell these fake products and they do it because nobody actually uses the product, they just buy it for the sake of buying it.

You know how many SD cards my dad bought from Alibaba and WISH dot COM. Probably dozens. They were all like 32GB. And he tested them out and they worked because he took a photo or two. However if you took 100 photos, you would get data corruption because its really a 1GB SDCARD. And by the time you realise you were scammed you cant make a claim and get your money back.

Hence its why they keep selling these junk electronics.
I recently chose an SSD for one of my PCs.
I had a month or two before I had to replace my old hard drive and wanted to order from China. I chose the SSD manufacturer KingSpec. Good reviews. Then I looked at its price in a large store in my city and found that the price was a few dollars cheaper and 3 years warranty. A very interesting statistic is that 25% of my SSDs break before 3 years, and I get a refund.

--snip--
But this is your choice if you decide to go this way, you can use the recommendations from NiceHash https://www.nicehash.com/blog/post/how-to-start-mining-bitcoin-in-2022
I'm sorry that I'm a little late in the responses here because I'm reviewing the plan I'm going to make, I'm a little wrong at this point about what I'm planning to buy. But here at nicehash, It seems to be okay and I got interested in this matter. And I think the NVIDIA Tesla A100 mining hardware is the best based on my review on the website you provided.

I hope you've read the disclaimer which state you actually don't mine Bitcoin. Additionally the article is slighty outdated since newer GPU type (such as RTX 4000 series) exist.

Quote
Check electricity price on your area and reserve location (e.g. your basement) to host your mining

I have a small stock room and I will put an aircon before I begin to host mining here.

Sounds good. Many miner use such room. I hope your electricity price is rather low ($0.06/kWh or lower).

Do you think 0.18$ kWh will be good to say that I can break even for this things If ever I begin to mine Bitcoin?

     Honestly, this is what I consume here in my home according to per hour based on kWh. So I think, I supposed to
expect a high cost for the electricity for the first month I guess. But I will observe it for the first trial as of the moment.
If the price of electricity is more than 10 cents, then it is better not to start mining. And do not forget that there will be a halving soon, and the cost of mining will increase greatly, and if the price of bitcoin is cheaper than $30,000, then you will not pay back the equipment.
1706  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Gamers beware: miners are now painting GPU memory on: February 16, 2023, 03:45:19 PM
I have miners who bring equipment from China, but they have their own representative there who checks each equipment. If you do not check, then there is a very high chance of being deceived. But the cost of delivery and the cost of customs makes the delivery of equipment profitable not to all countries.

CFX PUMP!

According to a Feb. 15 announcement, Conflux Network, also known as Shanghai Tree-Graph Blockchain Research Institute, said that it had secured a partnership with China Telecom to develop a blockchain SIM (BSIM) card. As told by Conflux, the BSIM will have a secure place to store digital private keys and will be able to call upon the said signature to transfer money to other users. In addition, a “one-click direct check” functionality will allow users to check for transaction information and status progress in real-time.

I accidentally met a man who does this. The Chinese have learned to make a lot of branded items very cheap, but not all. They did not learn how to make branded glasses, but their dresses, T-shirts and bags are of very good quality. The certificate is also easy to forge. Store employees are engaged in such fraud, the owner will not do this.

When a customer detects that the GPU is counterfeit, can he get his money back?
Maybe you need the information to reach the owner to be able to make the claim.
There is a lot of such fraud with video cards on aliexpress, when instead of 8 GB the seller sends a 4 GB video card, or instead of a more expensive model, he sends a cheap one, but at the price of a cheap video card. The return is very long, and the seller hopes that the buyer will not be involved in the return procedure. But the price of such ads is always below market prices.

Tim Beiko: "Assuming everything goes well, we'd probably have another testnet mid march or so, and then mainnet either late march/early April, although it's definitely not a "final" date. The mainnet date always depends on how well the testnet forks go. If we find a bug, we will always delay and fix things to be safe."

Liquid Devil’s boost clock is 2.68 GHz
PowerColor spills the beans on RX 7900 XTX clocks.

PowerColor’s Liquid Devil, the single-slot RX 7900 XTX GPU with fully custom waterblock will feature two BIOS settings. The OC BIOS will enable 2455/2615 MHz base/boost clocks, but the card also features ‘Unleash’ mode in which the clocks go higher up to 2510/2680 MHz respectively. What this means is that PowerColor is enabling up to 210/180 MHz frequency increase compared to the reference specs. This model should also be 50 MHz faster than air-cooled Red Devil. Just bear in mind clocks will vary depending on a workload.

Yes, that they are! On the other hand, the new M2 Mac Mini is actually quite a compelling purchase.
Why do I need him? I can buy this laptop for myself, but it is not cryptocurrency mining. I had an old macbook, but I installed Windows on it Smiley
For mining, this investment will never pay off. And in a couple of years this model will become obsolete, and video cards are constantly making a profit.

Yeah, for mining no, I was just talking about in general for "regular computing."  Smiley
The new M2 Pro and M2 Max models cost about $3,000 in the US or Europe, and in Russia these laptops are 30-50% more expensive.
This is an expensive item that will attract unnecessary attention from thieves, so I see no reason to buy such a laptop.And for the office, this is an expensive purchase.
1713  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: UK users - ASUS offers up to £300 for your old GPU on: February 15, 2023, 11:39:11 AM
In Russia, there were many cases when a Chinese fake was sold in the official store.

Sold in official stores? That was the owners of these stores wanting to earn extra money with this fraud.

How was this resolved? How can the user be sure that the product is really original?

From my understanding with luxury clothes, usually there is some certificate of authenticy with it. This certificate has some security features. Whether those can be faked or not is another question.

However unless you are familure with the product, it’s hard to tell whether it’s legit or not. Some pretty good looking fakes out there.

It's a lot cheaper to buy the crypto. You want noise and expenses?

BTW. I don't care if your intrested. You ask and you get an answer.
If you live in an apartment without a balcony, then I do not advise you to engage in mining. Indeed, the noise will disturb you.
I paid off my investments in mining a long time ago, I have real estate where cheap electricity is 5 cents, I have video cards, and I want them to work and mine coins for me.
It is probably more profitable for a beginner to buy coins now, and I want to mine coins.

In 2015, there were no bat files in the downloaded distribution of the miner. When beginners asked how to start mining, they were sent to read the readme.txt file. Modern mining  veterans can't even add a fallover pool to a ready-made bat file Smiley Cry

We have different users and partners.
If you don't want to get more customers, then we will use another miner..
I'm not a miner developer, so I don't care what miner you use. I use a miner that gives a larger hashrate. Now there is very little profit in mining, and the one who knows how to read instructions and use it will earn more. When I was new to mining, I also made mistakes and asked stupid questions, but I tried to learn and not say that if that's the case, then I'll leave you.

I know that with certain Luxary clothing brands like Gucci or Prada they actually destroy the clothes instead of discounting them. They do this because they want their products to be in low supply and get more sales.

With GPUs however I don’t think it’s similar situation. There are millions of GPUs out there. Many people are trying to unload them. Buying back 1000 or 2000 units won’t really make a big effect in the market. It’ll only cost Asus tons of money.
In your country, there is no sale of these brands from China several tens of times cheaper? In Russia, there were many cases when a Chinese fake was sold in the official store.
1720  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Buying a video card for the next mining season on: February 12, 2023, 10:03:00 AM
the next generation after gddr6x. 2xxx is a bear market series 4xxx is a bear market series. 5xxx series is the target, you can't rush things hehe
In the bull market, even old graphics cards were profitable, but we don't know if the 2000 and 3000 series will be profitable in 2024 or later when the Nvidia RTX 5090 comes out.

true but..

there is always a "what if" after a new generation of tech is released there could be an enormous leap in performance like from 9xx to 1xxx and electricity savings from more efficient tech.

there is also a small window of opportunity to buy those new cards cheap before bullrun starts hehe, but who knows if the PTSD is too strong you wouldn't want to buy those new cards hehe.
I don't see performance breakthroughs. Many modern mining algorithms are highly dependent on the core frequency. And if we get a high hashrate, then the consumption of the PTX 4090 video card is in the range of 300-400 watts. For such mining, the miner needs to invest a lot of money in the cooling system.
