I have an investor who wants to build ethereum farm. He wants to spend $50000. What kind of graphics card from today's market would you recommend and why? I plan to use ASUS B250 MINING EXPERT motherboard which allows me to use 19 cards on simplemining OS.
Please advise. Thanks.

Probably lots of GTX 1070s, don't really know the current performance of GTX 1070 TI though.

I think it could be better to mine at full speed use GTX 1080ti for better performance.
I was planning to build my own mining rig and i would like to try this GTX 1080 someone already told me is getting more profit with this GTX 1080ti so i think this is a great choice to start mining ethereum..

C.B250A-BTC PLUS V20 to avoid the cost of risers and frames, save space and mess.

mining only really makes money when speculation makes a lot more.

I would do what this guy is saying, and buy only eth cause it is very undervalued right now. |

This^^ only maybe spread that 20k over the top ten alts. 30k on btc seems about right. Hw you’ll lose your mind sleep and coin. Ask any long time miner what would have been the better invest. Hw or the coin. 100% say coin if no they only lying to themselves BR |

I wouldn't spend that amount of money on ETH mining farm at the moment , ETH will move to POS in the future , And cards that is good with ETH mining not same good with Zcash etc .. . However I think the most balanced card right now is 1070 . Maybe just spend only 10% max of this money on mining rigs and the rest you would be better spread between some alts that are clearly undervalued . Putting money in BTC at the moment is so risky if you buy this high . There is alts that have pretty decent chance of getting nice pump after 16th ETH , Neo ..... the list is long . The bottom line is with this money you have other options that might be better than mining , consider them  . |

I think, you can stick with AMD card to mining Ethereum. You can choose AMD RX Vega. It can produce approximately 70 MH/s. But one thing you must consider, mining with AMD card, sometimes you must regularly check the drivers update version.

Yes, but at the end of the day after let's say half year, you will end up with coins, and still can sell HW for 70% of price you bought it.  |

If mining weren't profitable, there wouldn't be miners. There are some drawbacks if you're not experienced, but if you really wanna be a miner you gotta like it and be patient. DYOR, of course. All these people pointing you towards investing rather mining are not wrong, because you seem new to the game and there's a high chance you could get burned. I'd say invest if you're not the least bit techy and enjoy this stuff. |

Will a couple hundred thousands of old android phones be viable to setup as a mining farm? They are already being setup as clickers and bots.
