Antminers E3 still alive for ETH?

[xxcsu]

Funny, even though eth e3 asics are done for, difficulty is not going down, actually is increasing faster than before. It's all time high at moment, https://etherscan.io/chart/difficulty . It seems eth price will rise in the next few days.

I have E3's still hashing ... so they not done yet

Gee do you think it might be due to all the new GPUs coming on line.....

Two Rtx 3080 can outperform a single Bitmain E3 , with a much better power usage
All RTX 3060TI / 3070 / 3080 / 3090 cards are out of stock within a second after they become available in any online retailer on MSRP price .

Are they 4gb units? or the larger ones.

4GB units , with some missing chains

Just a short update ,after a day of playing with one of my E3 with no missing chain, all blades ok , is finally is come back online not to long ago , and hashing.
Im not sure for how long ...
The another 2 with missing chains are still hashing without any issues .

lol.. how long u wait? couple hours?

After my last "try to do something to get this work " waited around 30 minutes
Its actually hashing better then expected 196.7MH/s not sure for how long

Yes quite disappointing eh? I was hoping the difficult would get reduced by like 25% or so, so my 8GB would be more profitable however. The E3 and 4GB GPUs going offline has done absolutely nothing .

I guess globally there must really be millions of GPUs out there mining or some high tech ETH ASICS that the E3 shutdown doesn’t make a blip in the hash rate charts.

Might still go down when epoch 382 hit in 2 days. However I doubt it will even cause hashrate to decrease by 5%. I guess bitmain had a supply constraint of the DDR2 ram chips and couldn’t mass produce the E3 miners.

It's like I always say, bitmain and co aka mining mafia of china knows when the difficulty goes down then they go and turn on few more eth asics in their factories. It has always been like this. They do that to shadow the difficulty which makes people think 4gb gpus or asics were inexistent on the network.

When the E3s finally retires anyone knows where else they can be useful? Any other altcoin maybe?

mine seems dead, waiting almost 5 hours to hash, i think i will mine other coin.

Don't think 5 hours is enough to pronounce your equipment dead, maybe some bug or connection issues.

That said, though, what other coins might it be reconfigured to mine?

its not the connection or bugs. when i switch mining ETP, work fine. No idea why he can still mine and my E3 cant.

what a surprise.. it works! i just follow your guide.. just fill those stratum pool 1,2,3 address..then wait for an hour..now e3 is hashing..

Good job, ETA on next DAG : 32 hours.. Cant be many left

Paperweights , recycling places ( aluminum is expensive :0 ), door stops ... cant guess anything else right now ...

From my view is a good job and i think all E3 , with a " good job" : can mine eth at least till Christmas , so my ETA for my E3's is around 10 days or more from now.
We are on DAG 381 , dag size is not over 4GB yet, the critical dag will be at EPOCH 383 when the dag size going to be almost 4GB.
384 Epoch dag size will be over 4GB for sure( block# 11.520.000 ... so from there 4GB cards and E3's will be out from ETH mining
6GB cards should be ok to mine ETH till Epoch 639 , that's probably around 4 years from now

I also do not yet notice a decrease in the hash rate on 4 GB video cards.
There are still a lot of 4 GB cards working on Ethereum mining

How much hashrate starts to drop after the 383 epoch?

You guys thinks that asic miners controls the higher ETH Hashrates but the truth is there is more gpu miners out there, some build gigantic eth mining farms in asia parts of the world too, if I have to build a mining rig today it's will be GPU mining rig not asics, we all have our reasons, also remember that GPUs are so costly today because of miners

Pray to be a coin as good as eth to keep those gpus price high then because if not then gameover to all mining farms.

The hashrate drop for 4GB should start at Epoch #382 which is tomorrow. For some reason my 4GB stopped at #381. And the testing that was done in the past, its extremely rare for a 4GB GPU to mine on Epoch #382. However there is an lolminer which lets 4GB mine until like Q2 2021, however at reduced speeds.

Either way, there are some 4GB that should be offline and some E3's but its not reflected with the hashrate. Which leads me to believe that in 1-2 days or so, there won't be a 25% reduction like we were hoping for. Just way too much hash power out there.
