45 seems about right since a 5600xt has a 192 mem bus and does 40ish. 

[philipma1957]

Waiting on 4 cards

2 from amazon and 2 from newegg

2x 5700xt
2x 5500xt

should do 150mh and 400 watts at the wall.

Phil,

Are you holding your ETH or converting it right away to BTC?

Fuck eth I have 2 eth coins locked away in an old wallet that have been stuck since 2016.  I have spent years trying to jailbreak them so I just sell the sell some cash and convert some to btc.

The eth I earn pays bills.

I hodl Doge now down to 750000 of them

I hodl BTC .

Phil,

I'm still a newbie.  So viabtc > auto widthdrawall to say coinbase, then convert to btc, then to your personal wallet?

close.

Lets say I get 1  eth. takes me what ever.  It goes direct to Coinbase.

say it was 1 eth = 1200 usd.  sell 1/2 for cash. convert 1/2 to btc.

say 600usd  + 600usd worth of btc.

withdraw 400 usd to bank for bills.

hodl the 600usd in btc at coinbase.  if there is a strong rise in btc price sell a bit of it.

So I almost never have eth on hand. Other then when it builds up at viabtc.

There is a  quasi short hodl of eth as it takes a while to earn the 1 eth.

Any clue how many RTX 3080s I can realistically run on a EVGA 1300W or 1600W PSU? I think I will be able to source a few and would be interested how many I can run on a board. Right now I am running 8x Polaris cards, but because of power considerations 8x 3080s will probably not work. I assume I can run like 5?

My three card 3080 pulls 770 watts counting everthing at the kwatt meter

I have a 1200 plat psu.

I am pretty sure I can do a fourth on the psu.

so I would guess 4 for the 1300watter
and I would guess 5 for the 1600 watter.

Due to bitcoin recent rise, many gamers are out in full force complaining once again against miners. Saying they are buying out all the GPUs during a pandemic where people are forced to stay at home and saying that there are no good GPUs for sale unless its some 5 year old Radeon R9 280X or older GPUs.

I actually remember a few years back in 2017 when I was at the computer store. Some guy was complaining and swearing at miners saying they are distrupting the computer games business and computer stores should limit the stock to 1 per customer, which they were already doing.

So I guess, if you got any 4GB GPUs now seems to be the perfect time to Craiglist them.

Every gamer I build a rig for mines and every one gets a better rig because they mine.

I am going to sell them a 3080 rig vs a 3060ti rig. Cause they mine when go to work.

Epoch #382 just hit and pretty much killed off all AMG 4G GPUs (unless running lolminer) and Antminer E3. Looking at one pool,
https://ethermine.org/statistics

It looks like so far ~15% of the hashrate has been removed from the network. The block times are longer according to, https://ethstats.net/ so I wonder how low it will keep on going. I am assuming 20-25% or so which is crazy high.

Regarding lolminer on 4GB GPUs? I will probably just remove them from my farm and sell them on Craigslist. Basically there are 3 issues with lolminer. One there is no remote monitoring, there is no GPU throttling under overheat, they crash every 3 hours on average and the worst of all is the speed reduction. Under Epoch #380, my GPUs ran at 29.5MH/s each, then #381 it ran at 28.5MH/s, and an hour ago the speed decreased even further and runs at 27.5MH/s. So basically not worth the headache. RIP 4GB.

Same problem with hashrate, (HiveOS / Lolminer).
First card lost even more, from 29 -> 26 Mh/s.

Next drop in hashrate, first card 23.6Mh/s, rest of the cards 26Mh/s, Going down quite fast.
After it drops under 20Mh/s, it might be better to mine something else.
Quite nice that you can make "profit" with 10Mh/s, its only cents but still.

but network is rising so a lot of gear is getting added on.

https://etherscan.io/chart/hashrate

295 on the 24th

And next, now 21.6Mh/s and 23.8 Mh/s, decrease are percentual, about 9% ? First drop was 3Mh/s, Second 2.4Mh/s and the latest 2Mh/s.

Just sold my last RX470 4G card rig, thanks to newest update from lolminer the hashrate was almost 21Mh/s/card so they are/were still fighting back
Friend got it cheap so he should get his money back just selling cards, mobo and psu.

Nice I have sold all my older cards with the exception of a galax 4gb  nvidia 1050. but I have it in a Snow White case and I am selling that pc to a friend he won't be mining with it.

He has https://www.nicehash.com/my/miner/1Q9iWR8ij9pXzVP2T6hR4mm8Z5mtyNKWsZ  these mining in his office and just wanted a pc for work.

At that point I will be down to

buysolar's 1080ti gear he has 10 msi Seahawk  or evga hybrid


the evga are up to 550 or so on ebay

https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-GTX-1080-Ti-SC2-Hybrid-Graphics-Card-GPU-11GB-Factory-Warranty/124509159607?

the msi are 530
https://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-1080-Ti-Sea-Hawk-EK/133619093203?


I think he wants 450 a card usa sales only

Found this one on newegg

https://www.newegg.com/asus-radeon-rx-5500-xt-dual-rx5500xt-o8g-ev/p/N82E16814126361?

it is an okay card price is okay.  ships from Canada from a reseller.  so if you live in Canada this could be a good deal.

Wallet was not updated so when it reaches the hack and correction back in 2016 it freezes.

Would you guys take the risk and buy RTX 3080s at inflated prices? Like around $900 a pop (plus tax)? With delivery end of month?

[philipma1957]

Very hard call.

1) real seller
2) true warranty
3) good card know to do 95 mh steady

So 900 + 90 tax = 990 usd

vs 769 + 77 tax = 846 usd

 I am using my evga cards as an example  mark up is say 150.

Lets say we drop to 7 cents a mh or 6.65 a day you pay 1.65 = 5 a day  but starts jan 31

so 150/5 = 30 days to make it up.

I would consider buying them
if seller is real
if true warranty
if a good card that does not wilt to 75-85mh

Also are you buying :

1
2
5
10
20   

  I would not buy with all my cash.

ie

if you can get 2 I would get 1 and save cash
if you can get 5 I would get 2 and save cash and btc
if you can get 10 I would get 5 and save cash/btc/eth
if you can get 20 I would get 10 and save cash/btc/eth

good luck.

[Sebahl]

I can get a good amount of cards by the end of the month. Considering buyin' 20 with money I have not invested into anything else right now. And would not have to buy boards or anything, since I am swapping out old cards and would just have to swap the GPUs in.
It's a real seller (through a company, that has access to non retail distribution).

[fr4nkthetank]

i would not buy a card from a scalper/reseller unless its a small/reasonable markup for the trouble. Out of principle.  Also im a big believer of being ready to mine before the times are good rather than react to good times.  But thats just me, i also believe everyone should do what they want with their money without judgement.  run the numbers, see the options/alternatives, run good bad scenarios see if it makes sense.  At least a 3080 will still be good in 5 years to game/etc

Which make and model?  some cards don't do 92-100 mh they do 75mh  so do you know the make and model
