Nice I don't remember when I finally signed up for the waiting list at EVGA.  I was late to the EVGA list but eventually signed up for them when I had to order a power supply from them.  I think it was late March so it's going to be a while for me but great price and congrats to you two!

Hopefully somebody here gets picked for the shuffle as well!

I was 4 of 7 back in early March... now I'm 6 of 32. Yuck...

much like you.

Maybe just a bit better.  but last win was April 1st.

Same here.  I did much better in the earlier months and it's been a very dry April.

Yes everything is a bundle now.  That's their way of getting rid of excess inventory I guess.

But profits are taking a hit.  Hash is rising and price is falling, might start to get rough.  More asics with a reward reduction is going to make eth a lot less profitable.  Unless you can get cheap ASICs with cheap electricty I wouldn't add any new hardware.

cheap power works until bitmain floods the market with its 3300 mh miner. pulls only 2800 watts.

this answer why the eth hash rate has kept up as it crushes the s19pro in $ per dollar.

I find myself wanting these new E9 miners but as always what's going to be the cost and how long are they going to mine with them first before shipping them out to us.

I have a problem with one of mine where the 4 bottom USB PCIe ports do not get recognized.  I have to ship it back to them for repairs.  Hopefully it is something simple they can repair since they have no more stock.  If they had more stock I would get more of these boards.  I asked them about the stock and they said probably in about 2-3 months.
26  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby! on: April 22, 2021, 03:22:06 AM
My second shot will be May 4th.

So may the 4th be with you all especially


 with me and the wife.


Yeah that rig does 6 or 7 a day on  nicehash with the gimped  3060 gpu running octopus.

I voted the cpu to do 1.1 volts max it does 27kh. about 2.70-3

the gpu does about 3-3.30 on octopus.  If I switched the 3090 on it it would earn

2.70-3.00 + 13.00 = 16 bucks.

Actually the best way to set the rig up is

1 shit gpu for video
1 3080 or 3090
and the cpu.

I could put this gpu on it


https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-gv-n306taorus-e-8gd-ver-1-0/p/N82E16814932419?

 
this would do 2.70-3 + 7 = 9.70 -10 a day about 3650 in a year.  it would burn

350 watts or 8-9 kwatts  say 1 dollar or 365 in a year.

3650-365 = 3285 net.

at the generalt I would give you a good price for it.

list is

1999 for the  threadripper https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Threadripper-3970X-64-Thread/dp/B0815JJQQ8/ref=sr_1_1?
  499 for the mobo https://www.amazon.com/TRX40-PRO-Threadripper-Motherboard-Connector-Lighting/dp/B08166G8DS/ref=sr_1_1?
    89 for the cooler https://www.amazon.com/quiet-Dark-Rock-BK022-Cooler/dp/B07J589GHF/ref=sr_1_3?
  109 for the nmve 2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VV87QVL?

  520 for the aorus 3060ti  GIGABYTE GV-N306TAORUS M-8GD  the master not the elite even has an lcd screen

  400 for 128gb ram not sure if I paid more of less have to  check what ram is on it.

3620 was my price

If I sold it with the aorus  and the mount board to the general I could discount it well under what I paid for it as he is a long time customer.

To anyone else I could sell it  for exactly what I paid for it.

Plus shipping as shipping is an issue with high end price like this, only USA buyers.
  


Certainly still interested in this build Phil.

I got my second shot couple of weeks ago because I help out at a distribution site.  The second moderna shot really did a number on me and I was feeling terrible.  The first 12 hours not so much, but the 24 hours after that I was ready to pass out and my entire body was aching and sore.  I heard toe Pfizer was better.

Struck out on the shuffle again.

Also in other bad news my PowerColor 5700 xt that I just got back from RMA is once again dead with the same symptoms. 
27  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby! on: April 21, 2021, 02:17:37 AM
Probably tomorrow for the shuffle win!  I think today is past the time for winner emails sadly.   Cry

still Making me wait on the you were not selected


edit:

941pm you were not selected. oh well







Yeah, I can't say I should have made 250k-300k and be unhappy with 65K.

Especially when the gpus are adding  $125 a day to the 65k.

The gpus were purchased with the doge sales.

My partner had 650k doge coins  he sold about 100k coins  worth about 31k and is Holding 550k doge.

 That is hands of fucking stone.

When this covid shit is over you and I with our spouses need to go out for some food.

Oh my threadripper 3970 has your name on it. It has 128gb ram and this nvme 2 stick.

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-aorus-500gb/p/N82E16820009014?

this is the cooler

https://www.amazon.com/quiet-Dark-Rock-BK022-Cooler/dp/B07J589GHF/ref=sr_1_3?

and this gpu

https://www.newegg.com/evga-geforce-rtx-3060-12g-p5-3657-kr/p/N82E16814487539?Item=N82E16814487539


That goes beyond stone to diamond hands!  That's freaking amazing but hopefully he doesn't get stuck holding the bags.

I can't wait for all this COVID crap to be over.  Eating in a restaurant would be nice.

I love how comically large that cool is!  You have to max out the ram because if you don't with that cooler in the way I would imagine you'd have to remove the CPU cooler if you wanted to add more ram LOL

Yup I just got my you weren't selected email.
29  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby! on: April 21, 2021, 01:05:00 AM

Yeah I was quick to sell the doge but I did get about 1000 mh in hash with it for Eth

so that is $111.20-$130.00 or so for me  daily

and the doge/ltc is about  $40 a day for me

So I am still doing okay.

Maybe I will hit the shuffle today could use another card Grin

Yeah it's crazy I have 5 L3+ miners and I can't believe they're making so much.  Like you selling doge too early I regret selling/giving my other L3+ away back in the day.  Of course as the saying goes, no use crying over spilled milk and it's been a great year for mining still.

Edit: I looked back and I first ordered the L3+ in September of 2017 for a mere BTC0.8 each
30  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby! on: April 16, 2021, 12:49:32 AM
After 3 emails to Powercolor I finally got a response from them that my card has been shipped.  Here's the kicker though.  It said my card will be delivered to a "hold at" location and I will require ID to pick it up.  Why on earth couldn't they just ship it back to my house?

Edit:  Wow when I checked the tracking number they gave me it's been there since April 2nd and they're just telling me about it now.  Now I have to hope that it doesn't get sent back.

Still no word on the shuffle so I'm guessing another rejection email shortly.
31  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby! on: April 14, 2021, 09:24:39 PM
I'm terrified to sell video cards on ebay.  I've been burned before on ebay so I'm not a big fan of ebay at all for miners or video cards.  Make sure you put down the serial number somewhere for each card you sell in case they try to send you back a different card also.

I haven't been selected for a shuffle in a while.  I notice when I am selected they notify me early like between 6 and 7 pm Eastern time.  Any time after that is a you were not selected.
32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby! on: April 09, 2021, 12:27:07 AM
Lol Phil I have the same thought process as you.  Unfortunately I missed the shuffle today and it makes me sad. I missed it by like 2 minutes.  Definitely hope you get it.
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby! on: April 07, 2021, 09:46:21 PM

A bitmain cable from the apw3 can do 140-160 watts safely after that no good.

so if you run a 3070 clocked to 120 watts it should work.

same as a 3060ti clocked to 120 watts

Perfect.  As always thanks for the guidance Phil.
34  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby! on: April 07, 2021, 07:33:19 PM
power color cards two rmas out of  30cards since 2012 . both were slow rmas

for the most part I like power color cards but I was not surprised they were slow to send me mine.

my card was fully dead no fans spun no detection nothing.

That's the same symptoms as mine.  No fans or video in the 3 systems I tried it on before starting the RMA process.

On another note.  I'm trying to reuse my Bitmain PSU for video cards.  I see a bunch of 6 pin to 6+2pin adapters but there are also 6 pin to dual 6+2 adapters.  Does anybody know if it's safe to use the dual 6+2 pin adapters on the bitmain PSUs?

Good luck to all entering the shuffle!
35  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby! on: April 07, 2021, 03:12:26 AM


the power color said they would email me when they got it.
they did not email me.
asrock did give me a recevied the card email.
once the arock arrived on day 12.
i emailed power color
they said they would be shipping me one.
they did ship it.
i think full turnaround was 26 days powercolor 5700xt vs 12 days asrock 5500xt.

both these cards were purchased at msrp.  the power color was the last 5700xt i got at msrp.


Ok I looked back at my emails.  I got my RMA early March.  They received my card on the 16th.  They also said in the RMA that they would contact me when they received my card and like you they did not contact me.  I emailed them on the 19th and they confirmed that they got my card and they have to process and test the card.  I have not heard back from them since.  I emailed them last Friday for an update but I have not heard back from them at all.  So I guess I'm over the 26 days it took you.  26 days at roughly $5 a day adds up.

Also I was not selected for the shuffle.
36  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby! on: April 07, 2021, 01:30:17 AM
My rma powercolor 5700xt arrived today


I clocked it lower si nce I do not want it to break again.

Wainting on my 3070

How long was your whole process.  I had a Powercolor 5700xt go bad as well and they've had the card for over two weeks almost three now.  I emailed them and all they said was yes they got the card and they have to test it.  I guess they try to repair the card now since there's such a huge shortage of chips.


I entered at 2:43 eastern, its now 8:54 and no word, so I'm assuming I missed out again.


yeah just about the 3 hour mark.



did anyone win?

I got no word from them at all for the late night shuffle and I still haven't gotten a notice yet today so I'm guessing another nope.
37  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby! on: April 06, 2021, 03:28:39 AM
Yeah the notification window is 6 pm PT to 11 pm PT.  I guess this is more for the late night owls and west coast folks.
38  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby! on: April 06, 2021, 02:48:25 AM
At this rate I fully expect to be asleep before they even notify me.
39  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby! on: March 30, 2021, 07:23:41 PM
newegg they did an early shuffle and I missed entering Angry


https://www.newegg.com/product-shuffle

I just barely made it in with 5 minutes left to spare.  I also got picked for the Gigabyte Aorus 3090 Extreme.  I'm on the fence about spending so much on a single card.  $2249.99
40  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Welp! Something weird happened to my Strix 3090.. on: March 27, 2021, 01:51:45 AM
Are you sure that the temperatures reported are for the correct card?  Sometimes the miner reports the cards out of order depending on the PCIe bus so it might be showing the temps for the other 3090 card.  Maybe turn one of the cards off to really see which one is which.
