I fixed your post with the third and best choice...this is how the pros do it...I was essentially making 50/Day/GPU when I held all eth coins I mined last year...ahh the fun days of picking up 280x's for 60 bucks and mining over a quarter an eth a day with them back then lol.

Stop spreading crap man. This is the reason why new people  are getting screwed over right now. There is taking advantage of the situation to profit, and then there is outright BS to screw people over.

Your going to be making ~50 USD a day with this, if you are good with the scrypt landscape (which is WAY harder to navigate then GPU mining) you can make and additional 20-40% on top of that, but thats on GOOD days.

Keep in mind Bitmain is shipping their new batches in the next 1-2 months. These numbers will be cut in HALF in the next month.

Also put this thread where it belongs, in the marketplace section.

Lol ok buddy, love how newbs like you come on here and tell veteran members to stfu like YOU actually know what your talking about just because you don't like what you hear. I don't pull these numbers out of my ass, and making an informed post for people buying these so they can better gauge their expectations.

 I build scrypt miners, and have personal relationships with all the main scrypt chipmakers. Now on to correct YOUR FUD.

Bitmain started shipping in the initial L3+ batches between mid April to End of May, diff went from 90k to 275k, thats actually exactly 3x...sorry you can't do simple maths. In that time they shipped about 10-12k units (this is a conservative estimate since some hash is not all on the LTC network). Being conservative again we can assume they will ship out another 10k in the coming batches between mid july to September. That will be an additional 5-6TH to the network bringing difficulty in the 450-500k range.

This is not including the shipments from BW (which I personal know the exact number of chips they are ordering since I'm ordering chips from them). I wont scare you with those numbers either in an effort not to provoke a rage session from you

You do realize they haven't shipped out any units in the second batch yet right? The April/May shipments were their first batch, the pretty much tripled scrypt has that we see now. The next shipments are going to start going out now, and these batches are going to be 2-3 times the shipments from he initial.

Diff will be way over 500k by end of September just from bitmain alone, and thats not including however many BW will make.

I got a bill from fedex for about 25 bucks per machine a few weeks after delivery.

Can confirm this issue is on vega as well.

Block 3M = 34 MH
Block 4M = 29 MH
Block 5M = 22 MH

Youll be making less than a dollar per GPU in about a month. Do yourself a favor and buy some Litecoin with that money if your really considering paying 450 per GPU for an RX570/580. Youll never ROI at the price.

Ok so looks good with the units I sent out, ill probably make a small batch of a couple hundred of these. Trying to figure out the best distribution method...I might just have a few resellers resell this. If your looking for bulk purchase or want to resell let me know, as ill place a PCB order in the next week.

By october hashrate will easily be doubled...youll be lucky to be getting .25 LTC per machine/day by then.

You can run 16 under linux with the AMDGPU driver.

Ive been playing around with mine...nothing crazy to announce yet. Here are some tidbits for you guys

-Claymore's and a few other miners have incompatible kernels with the new GNC, so those don't even work yet
-Genoil's works, does about 35-40 with some basic overclocks
-Once i start tuning timings on this thing and over volt the memory should be able to hit 40+ on genoils generic kernel
-Im working with AMD for some driver optimizations for mining specific kernels (specifically on the linux side since currently its underperforming horrible on their new compute stack). AMD finally woke up and is addressing their mining customers (they could ignore us for so long when 90% of their profits are from us recently).
-Once these are done, and Claymore updates his miner for Vega NCU we should be seeing 50+

Verdict is still out on whether this can compete on price/hash and watts/hash on polaris, but if it can do 50+ it will still win out on density cost(i.e. achieve 160+% hash using the same hardware).

That is on completely stock settings and looks like he was using an old genoil miner. Once BIOS mods are made and miners optimized for vega architecture it should do around 50 MH.

These attach directly to the GPU riser, so they don't need to be powered. The normal 4X PCIe to M.2 adapters have power because the actual PCIE port has power pins that need to provide power when something is plugged into that slot. In this case only data travels over the USB line on the Riser, since the actual riser board provides all the power to the GPU.

I have one coming in for testing...will post results. Ill also be able to do some hardcore BIOS mods on it so should be interesting to see what can be done with it.

I suspect any real speeds up will need miner devs to to low level changes to code specifically for the NCU and HBM2 architecture. These should be able to be pushed close to the theoretical 55-60MH cap.

What should be more interesting is how these do with Zcash, LBRY etc...since they should be as fast or faster than 1080 (and some really interesting opportunities with dual mining on them).

My adapter is wired to work directly with GPU risers and uses 1x PCIe lanes from the M.2 slot. Not sure what that is exactly, but it definitely wont run GPU risers (probably just pulls USB 3.0 directly from a compatible slot).

Thanks but seems like everyone messaging me has an Asus Prime I need about two more testers that have any other board.

So with the crazy mining craze going on right now all the "good" M.2 to PCIe adapters got sold out (there is only one rare version that actually works for GPU mining...the one you usually see on eBay does not even work). I decided to build my own solution that is even better for GPU mining rather than wait for stock.

So a direct M.2 to USB3 port for GPU risers is born! This bypasses the PCIe slot altogether, and reduces the number of contacts/breaks in the pcie lanes so its a more reliable setup if you can use your M.2 for GPU mining on your board.

Im currently testing it and works great with my setup, but need a few additional testers based in the US (preferably east coast) that currently use a working M.2 slot to GPU mine.

Once this is complete I should be able to produce a batch of a couple hundred for anyone that wants one in the $5-15 range per depending on quantities I end up making.




Keep in mind that just because you have a M.2 port does not mean your motherboard or BIOS will support posting an additional GPU.

Why are people even worried about this? The current run up in hashrate (from about 20-55TH) is ALL from polaris cards. Therefore the majority of miners are effected by this, which means that the relative distribution of coins among miners wont change.

To put it in simple terms, if everyones cards went from mining 30MH to 1MH overnight, your profitability would remain EXACTLY the same.

This question is not a matter of how hot the miner runs (they run fun between 50-70c on the actual chips themselves). The issue with mining and fire hazards always comes down to how YOU power them. The boards themselves are engineered well and have 2 6 pin connectors which is well within the specs of what the boards draw for power.

The issue with fire comes when you try and draw to much current from your PSU to however you are connecting the PSU to miner. The failure point is almost always between the PSU connection, wire, to miner connection. This all comes down to the gauge size of the wire used, whether your splitting that wire and if the connector/PSU can handle a splitter etc etc. Even if the actual miner runs cool, your wires could still be drawing too much current than they can handle and overheat and burn up.

Do you research pretty much all the answers on how to power miners are on here.

Two rules I always follow and you should too:
1) NEVER EVER mix PSUs with the same load (i.e. don't connect PSU 1 to connector 1, and PSU 2 to connector 2 on the same board).
2) ALWAYS assume your wires/connectors will catch fire at some point...planning around this on how you position your miners/wires and where you place them will determine whether your house burns down :p

Have a Saphire Nitro R9 380 and an XFX R9 380 for sale. Would rather sell them both together. Both have original boxes.
