S9? LOL

[adaseb]

Decided to update from my last S7? LOL thread in light of todays huge ETH price gain.

This is assuming revenues after the halving, since that is the most accurate  Antminer S9 delivery date. Price and Specs are what some people predicted in the other thread.

I know the revenue for the GPU isn't accurate in 2 months but the price can also appreciate making the same daily revenue constant

[talks_cheep]

If people knew the truth, the AMD video cards will go up in value or will be sold out, just like it did before. However, I'm counting on these people brushing off the truth and staying ignorant.

Bitmain S9 will suck, just like S7 sucked, just like S5 sucked, But they will be Best Sellers. Life goes on, bitcoin stays at around $450, and we will be screwed.

Then they'll flood the mining industry with S9 causing the difficulty increases then the S7s will be obsolete, poor consumers.

I am now up to 200mhs

I use about 1850 watts

I earn about 650 usd with the r9 miners.

I pay 17 cents for power in the summer!!

So my power is about 50 x .17 a day = $8.50 x 30 or 255 in power cost.

So I net 400 a month.

I have my s-7s. In the solar array but frankly. ETH coin could put a real hurt on BTC.

Here is why

AMD and Nvidia and Intel all benefit with a strong gpu coin.

They have the ability to prop up prices of ETH coin as advertisement.
I can see ETH coin sticking around for a while.
BTC is in serious trouble due to ASIC mining builders doing too much self mining.

I can see a solid gpu coin always existing .  Should be lots of fun from now until sept 1

[VirosaGITS]

Yep, the S9's specs is purely speculative right now but even in the best case scenario, ASIC is not doing too well for us unprivileged tiny end user miners.

Why do you stop yourself at one frame of an entire movie ?

My trust is in Bitcoin, not the altcoin.

We shall see in future what ETH will do but those kind of comparisons based on speculation and this title is pretty much a joke.

If you don't want to mine Bitcoin anymore why don't you move your irony in the Alt coins section ?

For now ETH mining is great, will it last long or do better in the long term then BTC ?

That's the real question you have to ask yourself.

I am now up to 200mhs

I use about 1850 watts

These are pretty good numbers if this includes total power.
I have ~220 mh and use about 2200-2300w at the wall ( R9 390, 7950 and R7 370 on three separate rigs).

I do want to mine btc at home, but i can't because:
a. too loud
b. in 2 mo it would not make any sense to do it financially (at least using S7). S9-who knows, but as i posted before, it is a dead end, in my opinion, as only low cost producers can mine semi profitably. You don't need S7-9 to do it as a hobby.

Well I think  it is best to have a finger in two different pies..  

Btc  is my old favorite apple pie.

Eth is a new peppermint patty pecan pie.


I have   4000 usd worth of avalon 6's and s-7's
I have   2500 usd worth of eth mining pc's

at the moment  eth is crushing btc   and my btc is using the solar array at under 5 cents a kwatt  while my eth is spending 17 cents a kwatt in my house

Since it can do a complete flip in a month.  I will keep my levels at this.

ETH coin rigs can be temperamental ie babysit the mofos.
 
   The solar array with avalon 6's is rock fucking solid  almost no work at all. Here are we are  one  full month in the 6 ½  avalon 6's   stage and look at the stability below

Why do you stop yourself at one frame of an entire movie ?

My trust is in Bitcoin, not the altcoin.

We shall see in future what ETH will do but those kind of comparisons based on speculation and this title is pretty much a joke.

If you don't want to mine Bitcoin anymore why don't you move your irony in the Alt coins section ?

For now ETH mining is great, will it last long or do better in the long term then BTC ?

That's the real question you have to ask yourself.

Well I think  it is best to have a finger in two different pies..  

I agree on your point, my post was a direct reply to the OP.

Thanks. Yes, using plat and titanium could easily account for most power savings, plus I have more power-hungry AMD (FX 4350-125W) on one rig-got it to run geth simultaneously (Intel's i3 and G3258 on other two-just for mining).

[notlist3d]

If people knew the truth, the AMD video cards will go up in value or will be sold out, just like it did before. However, I'm counting on these people brushing off the truth and staying ignorant.

Bitmain S9 will suck, just like S7 sucked, just like S5 sucked, But they will be Best Sellers. Life goes on, bitcoin stays at around $450, and we will be screwed.

I don't see the video card's going up like they did with litecoin long ago.  I just don't think the amount of cards being bought is near the same.  When that happened there were some models that were out of stock for long periods of time.  Look at newegg or other respectable site, and we don't see the running out of cards we once did.

So I could be wrong, but I just don't see the selling out.  Without that... I don't think price will skyrocket on cards like it once did long ago.

You can do the math without Eth, for instance you could do the math on Lyra, or X11. The numbers get tighters, but if you want, you can compare to the the current S7, for there be no speculation, then, and the Antminer is still not only behind on profitability, but also on power efficiency... and noise i suppose.

Now assuming the S9 to have twice better effiency at double the price, the numbers are still bad and its not a speculative only thing, its simple deduction. Unless you expect the S9 to sell for less than the S7.

I agree on all of this, I still believe this is short term guessing.

[VirosaGITS]

Somewhat. You could say that maybe GPU mining as a whole will drop in value drastically. Putting aside that this could happen with BTC as well, i'm basing my feelings on the matter with the halving. Basically, the S7 at the moment is not so great and once the halving hit, the S9 and similar will be as good as the S7 now. Maybe biased, but we'll see.

Some people think that BTC will skyrocket to match, but i dont think so. I think the price already adjusted to the upcoming halving and will slowly follow the overall mean. I'm betting that it will happen pretty much like the first halving. Probably nothing world shattering. Meanwhile, whats going on with GPU at the moment feel like the Scrypt gold rush, but more stable, and much more ASIC resistant, so we'll see.

ETH is in the "return to normal" stage of its bubble. The profit calculations won't look as pretty at the bottom.

Not yet, but possible. We can tell for sure ONLY if prior 0.036 per btc peak is not exceeded (or $15-16/eth), so it can still go to higher highs.

[fanatic26]

You all realize that ETH is shifting from PoW to PoS when Serenity drops right? Its not like you will be able to mine ETH for years so comparing it to mining BTC in the long run seems kind of silly.

Its not silly, when you get to ROI 500% before then vs not break even for ASIC. Also GPU != Eth. There is other very profitable options out there.

and you realize that AMD Nvidia and Intel  all benefit directly from GPU mining while they don't benefit from asic mining.

I can argue  a mutually benefit deal between   any solid gpu coin and btc on these grounds.


Intel, Amd , Nvidia  simply prop up any gpu coin via coin purchases of that particular coin. It is simply a way to advertise  gpus and cpus to use for mining.

So I mine an eth coin with price boasted by one of the companies above.   I make a profit I sell to cash or btc.

So btc has demand created by my purchase of it with an eth coin.

So who gains directly
1 ) me
2 ) intel                            why I purchased a chip
3 ) Amd                             why I purchased a card
4 ) Gigabyte                       why I purchased  a board
5 ) silverstone                     why I purchased a titanium psu
6 ) windows                         why I purchased an os
7 ) ebay                               why I purchased some of it from them
8 ) amazon                           why I purchased some of it from them
9 ) newegg                           why I purchased some of it from them
10) corsair                            why I purchased some of it from them
11) electric power companies  why power sales
so the  nine companies above should all buy some Eth coin with cash as advertisement.

been really thinking about this economically.

Now the indirect people that benefit from eth coins

1) crypto coin exchanges     why commissions on eth to whatever
2) asic builders of btc gear  why you will still need btc to exchange to it so mining btc is needed
3) coinbase                        why you will still need fiat.

[fanatic26]

I understand that and I was not speaking on any random GPU coin. I was talking about ETH because it is the flavor of the month and people are seeing $$$. I was just pointing out that ETH mining is unsustainable. You can always go back to X11 mining and make money but with much smaller margins.
