If anyone wants any of my $200 coupons pm me how many and a fair price I have 6 available

How much do you pay to me to get a coupon to buy a doorstep from bitmain? 

[QuintLeo]

Litecoin price jumped, therefore Bitmain adjusted pricing on the L3+

Nothing new here, move along move along.

$505 as of a few minutes ago.

[QuintLeo]

I had a couple of things collide in my mind last night.

Price of L3+ big drop - indicating a fairly high probability of a new Bitmain Scrypt miner soon.
That video claiming to be from some Bitmain "F3 miner" - and the hashrate in the video.

I already commented a couple places about that video possibly NOT being for an Ethereum miner - but now I'm strongly suspecting it's from a new Bitmain 14/16nm node based SCRYPT miner.

1500 Mhash/s on Scrypt at probably somewhere in the 1000 watt range just makes SENSE for a new-node Bitmain miner to be released in probably 2-3 months.

Alternatively, see A6+ from Innosilicon (1.23GHs, 1500w)

If a new 14/16nm (or better) 1.5GHs Scrypt ASICS from Bitmain is indeed coming, the A6+ by then hopefully will be priced lower.

Comment by someone in another thread was claiming "their friend at Bitman" is claiming the L5 will be 15 GH at 1300 watts.
I think they slipped a decimal point on the hashrate, but the wattage sounds reasonable given recent Bitmain designs.

The people that are good on RX mining, how to setup on simplemining (claymore) to run dagger-hashimoto with lower temps? Right now it does around 29.5Mh/s. I will be happy to lower down the temps and power consumption with lower hash.. but I cannot get it done.
I've tried with 800 and 850 at voltage (currently are 900), lowering the power stage (right now is 4), playing with -dcri, -asm, but I cannot make it.
Anyone got any advice? During the high temps (around 26-30 degrees here in Europe) I've just powered it off and I'm trying to find settings so I could lower down the temps and power consumption.

Thanks

I've heard smOS is bad (and can't really do it other than the power stages which doesn't lower it that much anyway) at undervolting amd gpus. The only way it run the gpus undervolted with smOS is to mod the bios with the undervolt

Been running with SMOS for more than a year now, since ETH farming days, RX470,RX480 all with custom roms for lower power works well SMOS. Post RX and 570/580, NVIDIA was a perfect fit in SMOS, no BIOS mods needed, good power controls, simple and fast deployment and vast miner support for NVIDIA. Cant imagine buying anymore GPUs from AMD unless the produce a miracle.

Totally agree.
Right now I stopped trying to lower the power consumption because the cryptonight v7 is paying well at nicehash. So I got my ATI rig to nicehash hashing monero7

And nvidia is still chasing ravens.. I'm thinking to split them between raven and pigeon .. I've already mined pigeon last week and I see now is listed on cryptobridge, but the price is reeaaaaly low ... (1pgn = 0.00000046btc)

PGN is just listed on CB and I think 4 more exchanges.
RVN meanwhile is only available in 2 exchanges.
Give it some time to pick - it took RVN about 2 months to get to the 700-500 sats range.

I just got my ISP to order 15 x L3+ , I dont mind gen minus 1 "L" miners as long as they are at priced the same as single GPU (ie. a 1080ti cost more than a L3+). All this logic applies, when your are using cheap hydro or geo-thermal power.

[Stubo]

So, the crypto market has seen a nice spike upward over the past 24-36 hours that includes most of the coins that I own/mine. Notably absent from that group was RVN. Its value has remained flat. Do you any of you veterans have any speculation on why this is? Is it just the relative obscurity of this coin?

It is soooo very new  think months not days.

I mined 11000 of them.

I sold 6000 and will do a  long hold on 5000 of them

The 5000 are in a core wallet.


I will revisit them  on June 1 ,2018  if they went from 0.00000555 to 0.00001111 I will sell 1000 of them
I will then revisit them Aug 1 ,2018  if I did the early sale at 0.00001111 and they are now 0.00002222 I will sell 1000 of them.

I would  with luck and over time make sales of 1000 coins at

0.00001111
0.00002222
0.00004444
0.00008888

I would hold the last 1000 for a longer time  till  it reached.

0.00022222   then sell 500

and hold the last 500 even longer.

Since I sold 6000 at about 0.00000580 = 0.0348 btc  which is held as btc and now worth 280 usd

I paid about 100 in power So I am up 180 usd and holding the 5000 coins in a wallet.

I can think longer term.

My A2 farm was still profitable (though not by a LOT) up to sometime late last month or VERY early this month.

yup Scrypt coins seems to have better payrates of recent

let's hope the 1.5GHs Scrypt miner doesn't come out anytime soon...

My Plan B is to hook the Scrypt and X11 farms to Prohashing, then from there I can "mine"/convert any coin I want.

[Truthchanter]

What was the last word on when the new consumer nvidia gpus are coming out this year?

The people that are good on RX mining, how to setup on simplemining (claymore) to run dagger-hashimoto with lower temps? Right now it does around 29.5Mh/s. I will be happy to lower down the temps and power consumption with lower hash.. but I cannot get it done.

Niceee, windows has been annoying me much lately especially with all the updates messing with my mining and such... I already have my rx 400 series gpus bios modded but i still use afterburner for the undervolt. So I'm thinking of bios modding them again, like you said, with the undervolt in the bios and then just sticking with smOS.. seems like it would make things easier for me.. just have to figure how much of an undervolt i want in the bios mod

Hello All,

How have all of yall been?

Ive not been on a lot lately, been in South Korea visiting my girlfriend for a few weeks. She wanted to spend time away from all annoyances in life, so i respected her wishes...

Came back to Water Loop for GPU farm max temps hitting 58c while i was gone with days hitting 90f+ during the day.... best part is i only had 4 GPU's go offline while i was away on my travels.. all 4 came back online after a simple restart, so more monitoring on them is in the future.

While i was gone the bots managed a profit of 0.195btc, so a good month for the bots mostly coming from the latest bot being added to the lineup... seems i have my pinescripts dialed in well for autoview....

58c is hardly worrysome. For continuos rig monitoring, check out SRR by same author SMOS

Your bot army has been good to you and they dont need a vacation too :-)

Meanwhile. https://www.coindesk.com/bitmain-gets-go-ahead-us-bitcoin-mining-operation/

China's crypto mining giant, Bitmain, is one step closer to establishing mining facilities in Washington state.

The Port of Walla Walla - Walla Walla county's economic development agency - unanimously approved a land lease and purchase option that would allow Bitmain to build its new crypto mining facility. The company's Ant Creek subsidiary will be able to lease 10 acres with an option to purchase after one year. However, an initial option for an additional 30 acre purchase was removed from the agreement.

Ant Creek still has to agree to the terms to complete the deal, local newspaper the Union Bulletin reported. If it does, it will pay approximately $4,700 per month in rent.

Ya i really like the SRR, but i dont use SMOS. I have all my rigs on profit switching 24/7 currently running on NemoMiner, but i am able to monitor all the rigs via AwesomeMiner. I only didnt see them being off because i basically turned off my cell phone for multiple days while i was visiting her and we went and traveled to a few places together.

It was a perfect vacation, because i recently made a huge purchase (2018 Zero SR) splitup among 4 credit cards that offered me huge points rewards deals. Basically if i would have applied all the points i gained to statement as cash off i would have only gotten 1cent per point totaling out to around $4600 worth of statement credit on my credit cards, but you can use the points on travel, hotels, and rentals @ 2.1cents per point. So i purchased my plane ticket to South Korea, payed for all my hotel stays with the points, and payed for my rental car while i was there... increasing the value of my points to $9600ish. Which i ended up spending all of it while on vacation splurging in luxury suites and a high-end Mercedes rental car.

Basically walked away from nearly a month long vacation for a few hundred dollars out of pocket.

SRR supports SMOS/Linux and Windows (No SMOS).

Those credit card rewards deals are useful - I used mine for airline seat upgrades and free hotel stays mainly. I had a nice San Francisco holiday with the wife a few years ago 99% covered by loyalty rewards - very nice holdiay that one. I doubt I can do that again since I retired early 2 years ago from my day job because of Bitcoin.... and life now is much more "simplified" 

I have 2 rigs on NemoMiner/Windows - 6 x 1080ti each. Its mining to MPH and my son's BTC Trezor. He just started Year 1 in university and I told him to figure it out, get a part time job and use the BTC wisely because I will not be sending money through the bank to him 

I just dug out my old Gunbot license and started to play with it again -- it was too complicated for me when I bought it from Gunther a year ago. I will have more time now to study it a bit closer. Do you have any simpler bots to try out?

[citronick]

Stumbled into Proton Coin, yet another X16R POW until Q3 when it will go POS with Masternodes, 85% block rewards...  compared to RVN, PGN .. this coin is traded higher in exchanges. Worth to jump into this coin?

It looks interesting, but the volume is really small right now. I'm not sure if it would be worth mining for profit or not with the apparent limited interest. It looks like a reasonable option for longer term though.

SRR on windows i didnt know you could do that, ill have to look into it more.

I made huge efforts to reduce the weak points in my riserbased rigs and after making all these upgrades i have had very little issues with them compared to before.
1) i deleted all the connectors as much as possible, if it was capable for me to solder the connection, i did just that.. i cut all the connectors off and soldered them wire to wire and shrink wrapped them.
2) when i redid most of my rigs, i built clamping system out of wood that maintains a constant clamping pressure between the GPU and the Riser along with applied a liberal amount of hot glue on the PCIE connection to try and reduce loose issues from viberation and heat..
3) The constant temps from going watercooled has reduced my overclocking issues greatly, with all cards running the same temp, the constant changing of OC/MEM settings everytime it switches algo's has been rock stable, plus i gave up on trying to push cards to the last point, now if a card fails or locksup on a certain algo i back it off by 5 and run it and dont bother to try and squeeze more out of it...


In regards to the Credit Cards, ive have always viewed credit cards as a source of income for me, i abuse them greatly since i have an 848 credit rating due to how much i use credit cards and maintain a perfect payment history. I currently use a series of 27 credit cards right now, all loaded into Samsung Pay so i dont have to carry them all on me with them all labeled with what they are best used for and i track the ones that have annual payments on a google calendar and cancel them just before the annual renew date.

Example of some of the cards i use daily...
Chase Ink Business ATT: Cell Phone Insurance up to $650 for free if i pay cell phone service with card, plus i get 5% back on cell phone service charges, no longer have to pay insurance through ATT Cellular
Fannie Mae: 6% on groceries
Amazon Prime Platinum Business: 6% on Amazon Purchases
Citi Cash Double Rewards: 6% on Restaurants for 2 years
Chase Cash Custom Rewards: 6% on Electronics and 6% on Gas up to $2500/yr
Pilot Travel Platinum: 8% on gas/diesel up to 100 gallons each quarter @ pilot or flyingj, pilot gas station down the street from me near interstate...
Chase Ink Business Preferred: 5% on home improvement + 10% i get at store for being Military Veteran, so 15% off in total
Capital One Chevy Buy Power: 10% off chevy services and parts, 15% off tires, 20% off premium oil changes. I own a chevy cars, so you earn points towards purchase of new chevy cars, when i bought my last car i was able to take $3200 off based on money i spent on this card over a few years servicing my car at the dealership.
Fidelity: 3% on everything up to $2500/yr, receive pts to spend on investments
Verizon Business Preferred Card: 5% off Verizon purchases, Free Wifi Modem upgrade + free internet upgrade with $1,000 spent/yr. My Fios Internet+TV is over $100/month, so i was upgraded to 250download/upload this year for free.

Then i have a constant rotation of credit cards i signup for and cancel every year based on high cash back/rewards.
Example: last month i used Amex Gold w/ 100,000pts if purchased $4,000 over 3 months, so i used a service called Plastiq to pay my mortgage via the credit card for a 2.5% fee, but after charging $4,000 to my credit card i received 100,000pts, which i redeemed for $1,000 prepaid gift card. So i saved 22.5% off on my mortgage payment of $4,000, which in my eye is like paying myself $1,000 for already having to pay my mortgage...

I do the following above a few times a year as credit card companies allow me to on large purchases. I bought a large portion of my mining hardware this way using credit cards. I view it as a creative way to make money from money.

@ storx I am good  really good with cc's

but you are better.

I am 820 rating.

I earn a few thousand a year in

cc rebates
ebay ebucks
mr rebates
ebates
bing searching.

My first 22 years of cc use I never paid interest no 1 penny 1 time.

I have now paid about 1000 in fees and interest after 35 years of cc use.

I estimate 2 x 32 = 64k in pay backs.

Oh coupons at supermarket I was very extreme.

A minimum of 20 or 30k . 1986 to 2018

all told close to 100k  in 32 years.
