How much is your set up, where can I buy? What's the best site to mine? And best pools? I would love to invest and set up my stuff if you would red pill me.

[Anonymous No.4998301]

>>4998166
this and 3 antminers somewhere in western europe.
A 6x vega 64 rig costs 5k€ here, and a 7x1070 about 4.5k

I'd recomend the vegas, since they are absolute beasts at l3 cache coins like monero. Each vega makes 2k hashes.

If you want to mine shit like neoscrypt and lyra, nvidea is the way to go, but we all know cryptonight is the algo you want to bet on.
If you are a comoplete nigger, id recomend nicehash, but it got hacked recently so...

Pool depends on the coin you want. First you need the miners. I recomend downloading a miner for each algo, start with claymore for eth, xmr stak for monero/etn or one click miner/cc miner for nvidea

As for the redpill, mining is like a hedge in crypto world. You will make money if the market goes up or down, and you can resell your hardware after 1 year and get a big slice of the investment back. You can also run the cards till they melt, but I'm not quite sure about the life expectancy of a card mining for 24/7 (make sure you undervolt and bring down core clock like 5%, you only need memory clock for most algos.)

You will also notice you can mine a shit ton of promissing shitcoins, and just hold them (mined 2k etn in 3 days and am also holding 100vertcoin)

If you can get antminers s9 for less than 2k$, disregard everything I said and buy 10 of those.

I use 1600w for 6, so 1200w for 4 should do the trick.
This is for cryptonight undervolted, If you try to do neoscrypt It will crash.

The vegas are intricate when it comes to power usage, they can either eat 150w or 400w. I got them to 180w each with a 900mv undervolt and -21% power target.

Hash rate and mining power. It is a waste of energy to mine big hashes for minimal gains. The cost of electricity is more than the value.
Volume in most cases.

[Anonymous No.5003574]

then there are things like the x11 glitch that bottoms out the difficulty for a few mins.

Think of it like a an air drop of free coins a couple times a day.

It doesn't last long but if you have a miner up and running and hashing when it happens. It basically $10-20 bucks worth of coins per day. This is what I have running on some older nvidia cards in just regular desktops around the house.

its the safer bet and probably the safest way to get into the crypto market without risking half of your life savings on price fluctuations and volatility.

mining gives you a lot more options because you can mine different currencies and if you have a big enough operation you can cover yourself in case of price crashes by using a certain percentage of profits (~10% or so depending on your operation) and shorting your crypto coin. This way you still end up in the green no matter what happens and can pay your electricity bills.

Either way it's not so popular here because it's not a get rich quick scheme and instead is a slower but less risky way of making gains in the emerging crypto market

it just requires up-front funding for the hardware and setup time and operating costs

i opened a company here in canada and keep all my profits in the company to get a better tax rate and also to claim my hardware equipment as a company expense and save some money on taxes.

good stuff
it costs $20 to open up a company here in Canada and my brother and me are the owners of the company and have a separate business bank account where we pay for the hardware and all associated equipment through our business account and collect profits and hold cash reserves there.

As long as I don't take any money out for myself any profits my company makes is taxed at 15% corporate tax rate and plus I have expensed $15,000 in equipment and hardware through the company and saved almost a couple grand in tax reductions.

I bought some crypto on the exchanges but most of my investment money is going into this because it serves as a way of training and educating myself on the latest technology instead of just dumping thousands into exchanges I now have assets and a running business.

I've tested on a bunch of stuff.

asrock 110 btc+ Can run upto 13 gpu's and are not too spendy.

anything z87 or newer works ok since it has 4g decoding or something like that.

technically intel h75 and up work pretty good.
Running 4 Vegas on a $50 Dell Vostro 270 I3-3120 for testing configs.

h61 do not work at all for more than one moodern card.

the Xeon 3040 chipset whitch can use original first gen I7 Cpu's can do upto 5 cards. That was also the oldest that I could find that could run Uefi cards like RX5xx cards.

I have also tried some older AMD am3+ boards with some success. But the limiing factor is alot of them don't have recent bios updates available any more. so may max out at 4 gpu's.

Craigs list.

And to be honest. a card used for mining is probably better off than the average card in a Desktop pc.

I keep them clean and under 60C and they are rarely power cycled.

Heating up and then cooling down and then heating up again is hard on electronics

And I'm using high quality power supplies and surge protectors.

Also every card I won is actually underclocked and undervolted compared to factory specs.

And on top of that most of the cards I own have at minimum a 3yr warranty and most actually have a 5yr.

If I was looking for a good used card I wouldn't hesitate to buy one from a (Professional Cryptomining Farm).

The people I have sold to are fully aware that is has been used like this but it is still under warranty and I'll even take it back or swap no questions asked if there is a problem.

Like the other anon said gamers haven't had good deals on new cards for years. So there is definitely a market for last gen cards that in many cases outperform a single current get card when sli'd or crossfired for the same money. I'd say that i sold about half of them, two at a time to people that did just that.

get the latest version of ccminer
ccminer/8.15-KlausT

all the info I could find of people having the same problems was from 2016 and was on other low ram cards like the 750ti

Would powered risers be able to power cards that draw 75 watts off the mobo?
Because I can build a pretty cheap rig running Rx 560's. Each card can hash about 300 h/s on stock settings. I know other cards hash better, but it seems like 560's never suffer huge markups.

[Anonymous No.5009635]

>>5009482
yes they can be powered that way.

>Each card can hash about 300 h/s on stock settings

So it takes 6x of them to equal 1x Vega 56
$150/each plus other hardware

I'd just over-pay for 1 Vega and call it a day DESU.

oh and low end cards have worse residual value when you are done with them.

Might as well do 220/240V If you look up power supply info they all say they run more efficiently on high voltage.

like 10-20 percent better in some cases

and almost all computer equipment can run on 100-240v though some of the olderstuff have actual switches on the PSU to choose voltage. the newer stuff all auto switches.

I'll have to look for vegas then. Thank you for answering my question and making that suggestion. If I can't get vegas what would give me a decent ROI?

580's are generally still good for eth and cryptonight.


on cryptonight 5x 580's is equal to 2 vegas and they cost about the same not including other stuff

on eth 3x 580'd equal the same as 2 vega's

and on neo scrypt the 580's are actually faster than the vega's by a fair amount.

All of the options are technically profitable.
Some more than others and some are a lot more work to get going.

Nvidia=easy
rx480/580=moderate skills required. (flashing video bioses and stuff is involved for best results.)
Vega's=Hard mode (flashing bioses depending on cards, registry edits, Driver stability issues, etc)

getting any energy out of light is pretty cool but yeah, solar will never be the wave of the future.
not until they replace roofs with solar panels.

how much did it cost to get entirely set up, and how long did it take you to learn everything needed to get started? maybe not necessarily how long until you are at the point now, but at the point where you felt confident and comfortable.

Will swap to monero or KBR or something else when the profitability makes it no longer viable.
still very profitable to do most of the top coins.

This can't be true, can it? This being sold for under $2000? Am I missing something here, like they're not including an important piece of equipment, or mislabeling something? Or did I put something in wrong in crypto-compare?

This is just free money waiting to be taken, there's no way these numbers are right.

Rather than asking directly, can anyone point me in the right direction if I want to get into mining? why do I see you guys using graphic cards rather than ASIC's? I assume at this point mining altcoins would be more profitable/reasonable tha mining bitcoin, would a "Bitcoin mining ASIC" also be able to mine altcoins? what software would I need? also where could I buy hardware, everywhere I looked, even the cheapest hardware is insanely marked up.

Well, they're in China it seems, so I'm assuming no.

Never really trusted the Chinese on anything.

I'm starting to wonder how many scam sites are out there who promise hardware for super cheap prices, and just take your money and don't deliver (and get away with it due to some shitty fine print or loophole etc.)
