Just as an FYI as of this weekend NiceHash and others have released mining software that gets around the LHR for ETH for most cards.
https://twitter.com/NiceHashMining/status/1523739588048474112Just tested and it does work. You need the full miner not the quick miner and it's Windows only at the moment.
Going to be interesting to see if this changes the pricing over the next few days / weeks.

I'm not sure it'll have a positive effect on pricing. Especially considering we're in a downward spiral. More hashrate from smaller miners (I assume most LHR owners are little guys) probably means more big operations getting their profit margins squeezed while at the same time smaller miners have more revenue coming in that they will likely immediately dump on the market. Who knows though, markets aren't exactly the most rational things. Any increased demand for LHR miners I assume will likely be supplied by those who bought GPUs at higher exchange rates and now are looking at the low exchange rate as an opportunity to earn an ROI in their crypto of choice.
Glad to hear the unlock works, but I may wait until other miners get it figured out before I take the plunge.
