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

I entered the shuffle.

Went for that white gigabyte vision even if they stick me with the old mobo

I do not need the mobo coming with this shuffle in the least bit.

But I want the white gigabyte card

Lol Phil I have the same thought process as you.  Unfortunately I missed the shuffle today and it makes me sad. I missed it by like 2 minutes.  Definitely hope you get it.

ditto.

At least they told me before midnight today LOL. 

[kcheel]

No luck for me yesterday either.  They just teasing me I believe.

Did just score another system from Best Buy with a 3070 in it.  Had my 10% off birthday coupon I needed to use this month and about $200 in rewards, so after selling off the actual system, probably only end up having about $600-700 in the card.  I can definitely live with that.

Shuffle getting ready to start.  Nothing but AMD 6700 cards though.  May skip this one.

I picked a few of them see what happens.

 I finally got my 6700 xt to run half way decent.  about 47mh at 107 watts

so 47 x 10 cents is 4.70 a day 3 watts is 51 cents at my home so it clears 4 bucks a day

175 days for 700
200 days for 800
250 days for 1000

Thats not too bad.  I am trying to stick to Nvidia as much as possible.  I ended up picking the 2 cheapest ones.

[philipma1957]

I have both nvidia and amd.

the amd 5000 series had very good value. the 6000 amd not much value but the 6700xt's are kind of okay.

The nvidia 3000 series is better.

3080ti is 12gb vram?? 1080ti 4 years ago is 11gb vram...something in nvidia is fucked up LOL, the lineage of the "...80ti's" is done for.

if someone plans to own a gaming gpu for the next ~3 years it is 3090...performance wise, you get what you pay for.

[philipma1957]

I have 2x 3090's and purchased warranty extensions from 3 to 5 years. cost 60 bucks 30+30

I consider it money well spent.

Those warranty extensions can smooth sail those 3090's to the next market cycle, unless something like hbm2e out perform the gddr6x's by a huge margin, but history shows top of the line cards like 3090 will hold mining value for quite a while..

Anyway ddr5 ram for servers can have up to 512gb per module(maybe desktop can have them too), if filecoin shows promise in bear market times, these ddr5 will surely outclass the ddr4' s mining right now, imagine around 4 to 8 VMs inside a rig mining filecoin hehe

0 for 5 this week.

looking at some ebay prices.


I paid 180 for this 8gb card in September. it is over 650 on ebay.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/VisionTek-AMD-Radeon-RX-5500-XT-Graphic-Card-8-GB-GDDR6-1-61-GHz-901316/265105912295?

It has paid itself off 2x times

26 x 10 cents = 2.60 a day for 210 days = 546 if I held all the coin.
the power cost would be 210 x 2 = 420 kwatts or 42 at 10 cents.

So say I cost average the earnings down to 342-42 in power = 300 so the card paid me 128 profit.

and it sells for 650 on ebay. which is stupid high price.

as 546-42 = 504 earned back over next  210 days could happen.


So the card is worth about 400 which is pretty crazy.

So does any one want this card at 400? (USA only)

I mention it as I do like to feel out the more savvy  marketplace.

Given that

- ETH network hashrate has tripled in the last 12 months
- ETH network hasrate seems to have gone exponential
- EIP may/may not be coming
- my electricity rate is $.18
- my daily gross seems to be down about 20%
- Old cards sell for more than when they were new

It probably is time to sell my rusted out fleet of:

470's
480's
580's
1080's
Vega 56's
Vega 64's

And keep my
5700
3060

What is the general consensus?

Covert all sales to CASH/BTC/ETH.   your choice of ratio to use. 

If it were my gear.

40% CASH
40% BTC
20% ETH


All those cards will pay you top dollar.

holding the proceeds in a mix protects you

 if coins crash
and if coins whale.

even though I would do 40/40/20 mix.
a 33/33/33 mix
a 50/30/20 mix

all work.

I agree 100% with Phil - If I still had any older GPUs mining I'd be selling them all at the peak right now. The resale value is enormous now and summer heat is coming too.

Every card older then my 5000 series amds is sold off.

I do have a 1050ti mostly because it is white and I use it in a white rig that does not mine.

Buysolar has  3 or 4 1080ti's left.

We have  a mix of

63 cards :

 amd 5000 series + 6000 series +  nvidia 3000 series.


I did find a laptop with an amd 5600m in it for an okay price.

I ordered it and will see if it works okay.  it is supposed to do 33mh at 75 watts cost me 856 - 40 = 816 - 30 = 786

if it does 33mh at 75 watts it would earn me 3 a day so 262 days to break even plus it is a decent laptop.

I sold off a few thousand doge at 6.9 and 7.9 cents. I converted them to 1.8 ltc

Not much doge left about 17000 and I am still mining 10000 of them a month along with ltc.

my ltc/doge mining is stupid good.

a pair of  l3+'s earn 8 usd  a day and burn 34 kwatts so for a 5 cent miner they make 6.30 a day in LTC+Doge. way better than an s9

which does 5.04 and burns 34 kwatts  so a 5 cent miner makes 3.30 for the same power use.

Yes now is a good time to sell your gear for top dollar. However be aware and know the risks of selling on eBay. Ebay can bring you the most money and its convinient because you don't need to meet strangers. Just pack it up and drop it off at the courier. However...

They have a transaction policy that is easily sided with the buyer. Basically what happened in the past with crypto bubbles was that people bought GPUs or ASICs and overpaid for them. These people were newbies and didn't know how mining works. They assumed that if they buy a $500 GPU which earns $5/day/GPU that they will make $5/day forever. And what usually happens they make less and less money. From $5/day to $4/day to $3/day .... and eventually they send you a message on eBay asking for a refund "Saying GPU isn't as described". Then all of a sudden you get a message from Paypal saying there is a dispute open.

You can do your best to describe your side of the story to Paypal but they won't care. You will need to accept the return, sometimes losing money on shipping both ways and are stuck with bad feedback.

This generally almost never happens during bear markets or sideways markets. Very rarely can you get taken for a ride then. But during a bull market its very common. So becareful.

Guys, if you had the opportunity to grab a used 3080 for 1700$ would you do it?

I did grab this laptop new from best buy


https://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-g5-15-6-fhd-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-5-8gb-ram-amd-radeon-rx-5600m-256gb-ssd-60hz-red-print-backlit-keyboard-grey/6409419.p?skuId=6409419

I had multiple discounts and paid 700 bucks.

it is doing 34mh and pulling 130 watts can't figure out how to unlock power settings on the unit.

as I know the gpu could be set to lower volts. I am an elite plus member and have 45 days to return it. If I can't set power lower I will return it.


these would be a good buy if you can unlock setting on the amd 5600m gpu and get it to burn less power.


using the fn+G7 key I dropped power down to 116 watts.

that is the entire laptop at the wall on a kill-a-watt meter.

That looks like a keeper I can use this in the  clifton farm to run any desk and mine at the same time.  I will post a video.


at dell it is here

at best buy it is here.
https://www.bestbuy.com/profile/ss/orders/order-details/BBY01-806446101970/view


I will get back on this  as it seems to run okay at 34mh and 116-120 watts at kill-a-watt meter.

the oversized brick rates at 240 watts.

Bios is kind of locked down. But it may improve.
