Welcome to the first Crypto Mining General, /DMT/ for short.

Here we will discuss rigs, optimizations, mining services, etc.
Feel free to contribute what you think needs to be posted in the first post.


Current Market Outlook:
> Miners are making $4-8 per card a day depending on your overlock and card specs
> all worthwhile GPU's are dried up from traditional sources
> market expectations for gains through selling your mining capabilities are positive
> General expected ROI is 60-100 days Market wide per card.

Easy way to get into the crypto market.

Hold or sell.

Because you are generating these coins from work, not buying, theoretically as long as you make more than it costs to run a rig you are doing it right.

Holding to speculate is fine, but makes you susceptible to small loses.

You mean before vega arrives and a lot of people dump their rx 470/480/570/580 to buy the new more efficient and cost effective vega cards. Vega comes out in the fall iirc, just be on the lookout and check used sites every now and then.
Seeing more and more used rx4xx and 5xx cards on ebay and gumtree should be a good indicator that you should sell.

>> No.2513099

I've set up four Ethereum rigs with 19 RX 480 8GB for a total investment of £4000. Managed to get the cards for an average price of £180 each just before prices went insane.

Rig one is my old main PC, a 2011 workstation with 5 PCIE slots and 1100W 80 Plus Silver PSU.

Rig two is the same type of workstation as my main PC but with only 8GB RAM and a £4 quad core CPU instead of 32GB and dual hex cores. Also I burned out one of the PCIE slots installing a riser backwards.

Rig three is my old Core 2 PC from 2008 with 4 PCIE slots and an 80 Plus Bronze PSU.

Rig four is a 6-card new build PC with 1000W Corsair 80Plus-Gold PSU.

My power consumption is unfortunately very high because I am using these inefficient PSUs and UK electricity is very expensive, hopefully I won't lose money.

>> No.2515093

>>2514943
There are few things to consider if gpu is worthwhile, to make it as simply as possible you have to ask yourself how expensive is power where you're at. If you're at 0.1c/kwh or lower than your power is generally cheap, if it's higher than 0.1c/kwh it's expensive. If your power is expensive then you pretty much must use modern polaris or pascal architecture cards, but if your power is cheap there are few more options.

The reason why pascal and polaris cards are so popular is because of very high efficiency, cards usually draw 100w or less while mining, during litecoin days people would overclock r9 290s to consume 300w or more. If you're looking for cards that are under the radar, I would definitely suggest nvidia maxwell 900 series, specifically 960 or 970. They can reach reasonable hashrate with equihash and LBRY algo, but will consume a lot more power than pascal, same goes to amd 7000 series/200 series, decent hashrate with equihash but high power consumption.

As for software, I typically recommend using Windows 10, a lot more user friendly than linux distros, and usually everthing works first try, you don't need more than 4gb of ram, and mining pool simply pick one with lowest fee or closest to your location to avoid stale shares.

First, GPU's. Secondly, mining services should always grant the most profitable choices in mining. Whether that holds true overtime, we will see. There's a good reason as to why no one is encouraging people to liquidate their children's college funds to do this. There is a lot up in the air, if it gets harder, just get better rigs desu. My card from 3 years ago is still one of the best cards to mine with. Difficulty isn't increasing so much that it's driving everything up.

I'm getting around 210 MH/s. However, for some reason, the mining servers are registering it differently. For example, the DGB server (using skein) thinks it's about 176 MH/s, while the DMD serve (using Groestl) thinks it's only 23 MH/s. The actual data is about 220 MH/s, based on the actual data.

Honestly, I wouldn't own a mining rig that I couldn't use for something else. Like, my "mining rigs" are actually intended for for 4k video rendering and maybe some top tier 60 fps gaming, so at least I'm not going to be finding my mining rigs to be useless any time soon.

Basically, if you get a rig, figure out a dual purpose for it. I'd hate to buy a Antminer for it to be useless in a year's time.

I agree, the heat is a serious issue. Not serious as in bad, but serious as in, it's a reality of the process. Like, my NVIDIA 970 cards are blasting at about 70C... though fortunately one is in my room and the other is at my office. However, the one in my room keeps the room toasty... but it's like having a space heater on; I hate it. I have to leave the window and door open to my room when I leave for work every day just to make sure it doesn't heat up too much.

More autistic statistics: the picture is the temp data for my office computer for the last couple days. I love how the temp dips at night (I mean, duh), and I've also marked off the days I was in the office and had the AC going. Also, yesterday (the 18th) was an exceptionally hot day, and it shows with the card running hotter than usual.

I started mining at NiceHash, I know it's not the most profitable, but it felt easy enough to use and it lets me mine while idle.

My RX 480 is a reference card and it's running at around 86 degrees Celcius. The weird thing is that the fan speed didn't increase for hours now. Should I manually increase it?

I'm quite sure this temp is ok because I'm running in a MicroITX case. But I rather have some opinions

I use minergate for mine. It mines the most profitable coin at the time. Very easy to set up.

I live near a micro center and can buy 580s through my friend who works there whenever there's stock.

How much should I try to jew people? I'm thinking $50 profit each + $10 to cover shipping/fees on each card? I know I can make more and it's temping but it'll take longer to sell.

All motherboards and power supplys have built in safeties to stop the componants of the computer getting damaged.
If a cooler were to stop suddenly, the gpu would raise in temp until it hit the safety and triggers a shutdown of the computer.

Happened to me about 8 months ago, cooler literally stopped working overnight, computer kept shutting down a couple minutes after it being on, managed to get into bios to see wtf was happening and saw temperatures skyrocketing before another shutdown.

looks like their "smart selection" of what to mine doesn't consider your mining hardware at all. so you could be mining something with a good exchange rate, but at 10% the speed you could be mining something else.

there's also no automatic withdrawal, let alone exchange conversion.

I've encountered that shit as well.

Keep getting a invalid grafix card command error or some shit, I think its because these cards run cuda compute 2.0 and claymore and everything expects version 6.

Bought like 20 various RX (470/480/570/580) cards a few weeks ago (trolled newegg and such). Not a single one cost me more than $250. Not a single one was 8GB.

Realized that BIOS modding is autistic when 1070's can easily be OC'd to do the same or better. I had so many cards I was way too fragmented to even attempt to BIOS mod each one. Also realize that over the next 6 months RX cards will be severely crippled. Pascal cards wont be, according to claymore DAG 190 bench.

Week ago, sell all RX cards for over $400 each on my eBay store.

Promptly turn around and buy a 1070 with the money for each card, literally a day or 2 before people rushed to buy up all 1070.

Why is winning so easy? Foresight is everything with mining.

Also, found some cuck on ebay selling a R9 380 4GB for $100, offer $75. He accepts. Then says, I have 6 more, do you want those for the same deal?

Hell yes!

I was asking about temperatures and shit because I kept seeing people with low temps. But I'm feeling a retard right now. I work with electronic engineering and literally all components are rated at much higher temperatures than their design generally works.

So, don't get desperate with temperatures. All electronic are rated on a margin and they won't magically wear off while staying on that limit.

If they get close to the limit, they'll either throttle or turn off. If you set your fans faster all you'll do is actually add wear to them, while not making difference at all for the GPU.
