Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby!

[rdluffy]

Looks like tariffs have now hit gpu prices. Zotac, Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI all raised prices $30-$150 from what I can see. Not sure on EVGA. Hoping they assemble either in the US or Taiwan and don't have to raise prices.  Should be in line for a xc3 gaming 3080 from their que soon.

I picked up a Gigabyte Vision 3080 at a Microcenter while visiting family. Gonna be adding it on Wed. I really don't want to void the warranty and replace the thermal pads.   

It does match the rig I am putting it in.  Moving a 5700xt and a 5700 out to an open air rig.  I think I could add 2 fans on the bottom that I removed when I added the 5700.  Hoping I don't lose to much in throttling.

If I can grab a 3060ti or 3070 I have a rig with a 1660 ti and a 1060 6gb that I will sell to offset some of the upgrade cost. 

I saw some news about TSMC ending discounts to largest customers and raising some prices due to offer-demand and their production is at 100%, add this to the world situation of Covid, shippings are more expensive, people are buying a lot of hardware to work from home, mining is hot again and soon we'll see higher prices on almost every piece of hardware

Asus already said here about the increase of MSRP: https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-officially-increases-graphics-cards-and-motherboards-pricing

So, it's better to buy right now because it looks like this year will be very expensive to buy hardware and gadgets

Nvidia will launch 3060 6gb - 12gb, and 3080 super - ti, imagine the price os these cards 

[philipma1957]

Well with eth over 1000 and paying over 162% due to fees. It is like it is at an all-time high price for miners


.https://etherscan.io/chart/hashrate

is near or at an all time high of 306 th

But think about this. we are getting 7.48 cents a mh. all 6gb cards make money

So cards are not coming down in price.

I have a thread on the idea of nVida and or amd custom mobos

this idea below could be practical

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5305242.0

I am thinking we are not going to see cards for a longtime

and that asics are being built  big time to mine eth

I do think we will be solid on earning for 60-90 days  then asics will start to affect earnings.

innosilicon and bitmain must be mining eth like mad as I type.

At the moment I can find some rx 570  cards from Best Buy


I just found this on ebay


https://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-ROG-STRIX-AMD-Radeon-RX-5500-XT-Overclocked-8G-GDDR6-HDMI-DisplayPort-Gamin/303464263268?

I had 47 in ebucks

so it was just tolerable.

I purchased a 100 ebay gift card for 95 on six months interest free.
I paid remainder with PayPal Credit six months interest free

So this nets to about 230-235 with six months to pay.

Limit is six cards. so it will sell out

[geck]

i'm kind of torn between two worlds. On one hand i like the mining profits, but on the other hand, my defi investments are "stuck". While i don't need to access them at this moment, i can't add to it.

Is anyone else worried about eip-1559 coming soonish? I have a feeling the recent spike in gas fees is going to be the straw that finally breaks the camels back, and eip-1559 is going to be fast tracked

Well these profits on eth mining are really really really good. 162% block payment on viabtc.

They can not be sustained for 2 years or even 1 year.

But I think they can stick around for the winter.

Say March or April.

I ordered a second asus strix card on the bay from newegg.  They are low power I can squeeze them in on rigs I have.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-ROG-STRIX-AMD-Radeon-RX-5500-XT-Overclocked-8G-GDDR6-HDMI-DisplayPort-Gamin/303464263268?



these are older gen

https://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-ROG-Strix-Radeon-RX-570-DirectX-12-ROG-STRIX-RX570-O8G-GAMING-8GB-256-Bit-G/383597215759?

both of these  cards will sell out.


I got second card with 2 100 dollar ebay gift cards cost 190 so a 10 buck discount.  I have six months to pay on these. two cards.

they will do 55th or 4.11 a day they cost 600 with zero discounts .  I paid  531 with my discounts.  I have six months to pay zero interest.

So 531/4.11 = 129 days for pay off.

[digital$]

good price on that 5500 strix...they'll be gone soon i bet

These are the most easy to find GPUs, and near MSRP prices here

How much can you squeeze of this GPU?
I only see people talking about wattage of miners, but I like your posts because you always post the power on the wall, it's very helpful and precise
The price of the 8Gb models of Powercolor are 270 USD

All of my rigs running Nicehash  show offline in the dashboard for each PC and the online web monitor shows nothing connected, yet the miners see to be connected an running, anyone else running Nicehash?

Yes I am seeing this.  Restarted 1 rig didn't help.  I am seeing my unpaid balance go up by what I expect so gonna sleep and not worry about it.

Online Nicehash says all of my rigs are disconnected, looks like my wallet address in Nicehash/Phoenixminer have been changed to something else.

Malwarebytes showing nothing.

What does your online console say, still mining to your wallet?

Yes the gas fees are very annoying however they are temporary pretty much. Lately the fees were high around 500 Gwei but it was because ETH had a +25% day and then it broke $1000 and then it kept going higher and higher till $1200 or so. Hence why the fees were high.

However unless you need to make a transaction fast you can just use a 50 Gwei and it will confirm within a few hours. Don't use anything less than 25 Gwei because it will take up to a week or a month. If you are doing a simple ETH send transaction then gas limit being 21000 it will only cost you 0.001 ETH, which is around $1 currently. Not the lowest but nowhere near $50 a transaction like in the past.

Yeah eth needs to change. I add liquidity on pancakeswap as well and transactions are completed within seconds and only cost $0.1. cant wait for eth 2.0

Same problem here, just posting to you guys know you're not alone

Everything was working fine, but then when I checked my rigs on browser, all rigs are disconnected, I opened rigs and the miner was working
Restarted rigs but didn't work

I waited a few hours and now it's working 100% again, showing all stats correctly, and my payments are not affected

I suspect of high demand on Nicehash side

Nicehash confirmed on Reddit that they had a server outage.  Now I have to restart everything.

All I could find today for cards is this one.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-GeForce-GTX-1660-SUPER-Overclocked-6GB-Phoenix-Fan-Edition-HDMI-DP-DVI-Grap/383275252137?


It is low power and will do around 20mh at 75 watts.  New full warranty.

A good squeeze it in card.


Also. you can run 6 of them on the Onda d1800 six slot board.

It will sell out.

Do I think a 6 x 244 = 1500 + with tax and 200 for the board and psu  1700 for

120mh

at 8 cents an mh = 8 bucks a day after power = 7.50 a day

1700/7.50= 227 days to pay out.

At $219 from NewEgg, is the Onda worth it?

no I am ordering direct from alibaba. 9 for 630

if the order works out I will sell a few here.

It is a solid board you can run 3 x 3080 on it using this psu.

OK, if your order works out, and you have an extra, I would be interested.

Looks like tariffs have now hit gpu prices. Zotac, Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI all raised prices $30-$150 from what I can see. Not sure on EVGA. Hoping they assemble either in the US or Taiwan and don't have to raise prices.  Should be in line for a xc3 gaming 3080 from their que soon.

I picked up a Gigabyte Vision 3080 at a Microcenter while visiting family. Gonna be adding it on Wed. I really don't want to void the warranty and replace the thermal pads.   

It does match the rig I am putting it in.  Moving a 5700xt and a 5700 out to an open air rig.  I think I could add 2 fans on the bottom that I removed when I added the 5700.  Hoping I don't lose to much in throttling.

If I can grab a 3060ti or 3070 I have a rig with a 1660 ti and a 1060 6gb that I will sell to offset some of the upgrade cost. 

I saw some news about TSMC ending discounts to largest customers and raising some prices due to offer-demand and their production is at 100%, add this to the world situation of Covid, shippings are more expensive, people are buying a lot of hardware to work from home, mining is hot again and soon we'll see higher prices on almost every piece of hardware

Asus already said here about the increase of MSRP: https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-officially-increases-graphics-cards-and-motherboards-pricing

So, it's better to buy right now because it looks like this year will be very expensive to buy hardware and gadgets

Nvidia will launch 3060 6gb - 12gb, and 3080 super - ti, imagine the price os these cards 

I think I read that the 3060 12gb will start at $449.  Supposed to be faster for gaming but with a smaller 192 mem bus than the  3060 ti.

I wonder how it will hash? 45mh? 50mh?
