I doubt he meant data center as that is 5x + the cost of a mining center. My mining center is fully filtered etc, but it's still a mining center.
no, I meant data center. There is a large need for them here. and many data centers here are also doubling by renting out space for miners as well. The reason they are renting out space to miners in those fancy data centers is because they can't fill the with normal business style servers. I wish you luck with the mining. |

risky deal if we have another downturn like 2018 you will be hurtin. Collectors don't care they just want their cash. So maybe scale up or something? Just be careful bro because I don't have to tell you, crypto is crazy!  [/quote] my purpose is not to just have it for mining but to also double it as a data center - and you are right, it is crazy but I am not planning of leaving it  [/quote] Be careful with the plan on having it double as a data center a most of what data centers required is significantly more than what a mining center needs driving cost up dramatically and can extend the time to ROI. Also, a lot of data centers struggle to fill rack space and as the number of cores per processor increase this decreases the amount of data center space each customer needs. |

I have also tested this many times and I hardly see much of a difference. 10% sounds like a lot. What is the quality of your router and wifi, is it some cheap chinese junk? From what I can see there is less than 1% difference between wired and wifi.
MikroTik RB2011. I dont think that it looks like "cheap chinese junk". I was not looking where is problem. I had seen the difference and solved this problem with wired connection. MikroTik is a security nightmare...backdoors and vulnerabilities. Go wired with more than 2 rigs period, otherwise you start losing rewards significantly. Even with 1 rig it will slow you down a bit but impact started showing up after 2 rigs when I tested it. |

Multiple subnets, a good router/firewall and managed switches. For large scale deployments you can't buy the good routers, firewalls and switches at best buy.
As far as managing the individual rigs hiveOS or one of the others multi rig management platforms.

One hint on how fast detection happens on a miner in a business that is properly secured is an alert happens within 5 seconds of the miner being attempted to execute and the miner is not able to execute, so you lose your job over zero profit. Considering the cost of the job loss the math turns to a loss for attempting this at work.

A hidden miner installed by an employee can be considered theft. If your company security team knows anything about security they would know how to block this and locate who installed it. This could be blocked down at the endpoint or at the network level. Definitely not worth the risk of getting fired for a few dollars.

It looks like a large botnet is building on the XMR network, we have seen a significant up tick in miner activity on monitored networks and they are calling out to known XMR mining pools.

It's called diversity don't have all of one type of rig or technology.

Bios setting or add a UPS if it is a single rig setup.

They closed the swap early...I need help with the swap.

This was good before we had riserless rigs, now riserless is the standard. This is probably a day late and a dollar short.

I messaged the smos dev he said use the voting feature to get it added to smos....
It's annoying as I have paid thousands in fees already to smos and they won't add something that will double the profit over ethereum for amd rigs.
Please vote for this if you are using smos, I'm about to go to pxe boot and bail out of smos.

What is the best miner for Lyra2z?
He hasn't added any Lra2z for AMD yet, and we definitely need the tdxminer as there are a few coins that are more than twice as profitable to mine than what is currently available to mine with simple miner. |

I have another question - what do you think is the residual value of these cards and is there any secondary market for them? Of course I'd love to mine with them for years but you need to have some expectations for the entire investment cycle which means thinking about the scenario when these are not profitable and you have to get rid of them somehow.
I know that you should never invest anything you can't lose in this field but still, with GPU rigs for example you always have expectation for at least 50% residual value in the worse scenarios and there is a well-established secondary market. So I'm curious what's the situation with these, as somebody who hardly knows anything about the FPGA market.
Probably zero once they have been run for a few years, almost like an asic as there is no gamer market to buy the old equipment. |

Hopefully I can play with this a bit.

Lol, gotta love the average AC guy, most don't understand what you are trying to do as they have never seen it, It is your responsibility to make sure that it is right as it is way outside the normal request for residential ac guys.

One other big issue is the 10 series gpus are being used in machine learning in data centers as they provide significantly more bang for the buck than the ones nvidia is trying to sell to them.
Until there is a better solution at a better price for data centers, they will continue to drain the 1070 and 1080 stock as well.

GPUs are still flowing, you just have need the right relationships to buy them at a decent price. It might be time to take a breather on purchasing and wait three months for the gpu market to normalize if you're trying to jump in now.
The gpus are the first electronic device I have ever owned that appreciates even after use.

I managed to get 52x 1070 & 1070TIs going in the last couple months. Now I need 55 more & don't want to do what I had to last time to get so many cards. There are distributors that look to be about $10 per GPU but are there any best methods? I know the margins on GPUs isn't much.
I think make a group buy is a good idea. I and some friends (more than 20 people) create a big group buy. And we sign the contract with big local distributor: each month we will buy at least 50 GPUs (it's harder to collect more now), and he will give us the best price (typically discount about 3-4.5% compared with the lowest price from other distributors). No siginificant Bulk gpu pricing right now isn't happening below 1000 gpu min order from AMD and Nvidia and gpus are going to previous large customers not typically first time buyers. |
