Hi All,

I was mining ETH with 4 rigs having 6 of the RX 580 GPUs couple of years back and stopped when the price tanked and I was paying electricity costs out of pocket. Additionally, I was also initially mining Sia Coin with Antminer A3s.

I wanted to know if it's profitable to still mine these coins with my existing rigs. Any advice/comments will be greatly appreciated!

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

If the RX 580's have 8gb of VRAM your all set and can start mining ETH now. The A3 sadly is useless these days.

If your graphics cards have 8GB of memory, then Ethereum mining is profitable even with high electricity costs. If your cards have only 4 GB, then choose another coin for mining: Ravencoin (RVN), Ergo (ERG), Beam (BEAM), Ethereum Classic (ETC). The profit is 2 times less, but this is also not bad now.
