if another 6 to 10 months it would make sense to still buy eth asics, jas miner is really good value. goldshell am contemplating whether to sell current KD5 for huge profits and place preorder for a KD6, est arrive in march/ apr.
GPU draught ? it doesnt makes any sense with the roi compared to asics now... As mentioned very early pick your algo right and you will be good to go.

Am planning to all non lhr cards, but now the price is coming down... lol

Btw, Happy New Year to all miners.
May this year be fruitful and profits soars to new ath, be safe, be well and enjoy the ride.

That's retail bro, can get for a lot more cheaper price direct with them. 5 x 3080 will burns about 1000w vs 500w comparing to x4-1u. if you buy the x4 its 2.5g on 1200w.
even if 4u 10 sets would be 5 gh on 5000w vs 5gh on 10000w. heat is better to manage compared to 3080, say pushing 10gh is so much easier compared to secure that much of 3080 not to mention less problems if you are dealing with that kind of numbers of gpu.

only bloody expensive asics on the market now is Goldshell due to overwhelming demand. kd6 lowest so far is about 39k usd delivering on march/april which if kda drop, unlikely you can recover comparing to ethash still can stake and appreciates to make back if ever went into a bear or winter.

fitting in server rack is the best, buy a container of them and just direct ship to a data center still have quota to host. settle all your problems fyi. ROI is about 4 months+- if we're talking about racks of 48u.
ethash has grown by huge amount which i doubt nvidia + amd can contribute that much also. 2021 jan to now is about 2xx% growth if june is about 100+-%. gpu miners will have tough time catching up at this rate.

Power hungrier ones harder to get in, efficient ones they can cater depending on space and allocation of energy. They got 2 quota to sell, energy and space. After all, it's just well managed hotels for electronics, they need to be profitable also.

I don't think people would be able to know if you put a 1-u inside an enclosed cabinet. After all it's just 250w. A whole 48u would be a little troublesome as it's a 12kw rack and loud even with earplugs on. Their concern would be their power distribution and backup can support or not, because you one bugger go in jeopardizing the other clients.

I mean buy B2b with them, price of filling up a 20 footer is attractive compared to sample or retail qty.
Still 5 figure rm for 1u and 6+- depending for the X4. way faster ROI

what you want to ask, or you are giving free helium miner away to boost your hnt earnings ? coverage is huge compared to last year. check out the helium miner page in fb would have more insight.
make sure the miner you bought has this AS923-1 frequency, others wont work well. 915mhz to 925mhz will work. setup just google up.

most likely offloading to upgrade, enquiries for used asics just flew over the moon. More people are buying into scrypt, the very old L3+ is ranging from Rm2.5 (instant buyer) to RM4.5k.
they know they dont sell now later gpu price harder to pull up, after cny will have thousands and thousands of new gpu flooding the market from official sources with nearer to msrp.
more people mining with LHR cards now, non lhr price falling like btc now.

unless we're in a bear market, hardly it will be cheaper in this quarter. try 2nd quarter or 3rd, if it still tanks.
Prices currently still stand very strong on btc 50k usd mark, manufacturer pricing still not going down due to cost of materials and all. its already a futures market for mining equipment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This will be a challenging year as more regulators are onto crypto, Stay Strong, keep mining.

you can try online fb, carousell.physical shops less selections, the repair shops will be able to but rate isnt close to international ones.
Better rate sell over seas. i usually import myself direcft from manufacturers.

everything based on about 16 months ROI for now, price will adjust accordingly too.

You can get used box miner for really cheap if you found the source, for example 90% new kdbox can get for 7k rmb + freight and tax in is about another 150usd +- <-- for a lot of 10 units.
Comes with new psu.

GPU mining still got market due to resell value and adaptation to alts. gpu prices falling also. 3060 for 1.7k last month, 60ti less than 2k can get <-- all 2 fan models. 3 fan starts from 2k++. China got a lot of non lhr going almost same price like our lhr here. you just need space, good ventilation, and constant supply / free electricity.

New asics you buy in futures is cheaper, take delivery end of april instead of now can save about 30%.

On the wall it's about 850w to 900w. Ordered mine for 28k rmb 9 cards kit. Still stick back to asics, talking about efficiency, there's a new asics for eth/etc coming right up. Loyaltech YM-200 mini. 6gb dag. SG co as per the description. Going for 2.6k usd per unit, 260mhs for 230w. Quiet miner like goldshell box series. Since all these miners running so low wattage, heat generated also lesser compared to gpu rigs. Not as quiet and cool like chia, still very good enough looking at the returns.

right... its the rise of these small miners that will kill off gpu mining literally. how can you compete in terms of efficiency and profits compared to stuff like these.
ethash ones can mine etc after pos no big deal. in fact solo mining makes more compared to pool mining.

In terms of profit, you can forget about it. Its just a cheap entry to mining experience. its similar to nicehash hashpower market place, you can use any profitability calculator and calculate your profit.
for example crypto compare key in the parameters amd you will have a rough idea.

If you are referring to nicehash alternative, its more or less the same % they will charge you. its like grab, your rating no good your profit also no good.

Kda, etc is trending, solo mine not in pool. getting one whole block for yourself is very very attractive.
BtC requires too much capex to be profitable, 50m upwards and setup requires niche expertise and connection to score the right hardware at right price.
ETH mine while you still can, dag size going 5gb in august or earlier so can expect some difficulty adjustment as some asics are not going to make it later. so there will be a period of time you can breath and hopefully score a block or 2 per month or more.

I admire your courage, chia plotting asics are rolling out too btw

K32,33,34,35 ? get used servers ramp up the rams, can use readily available madmax plotter to plot. ECC rams works magic,
you can let your work station cards dedicated for AI to plot on insane speed for example quad nvlink.
if say you didnt let go of your 6x/8x gpu rigs, get one to try plotting. mod a lil on the driver and you should be good to go.

asic plotter will make your k32 obsolete in less than 3 years if say its readily on the mass market. still waiting for lottery and declining token price (<- sharp decline) not my cup of tea.

depends what cards is in your arsenal.
6800 i make more $$ on raven/neoxa compared to ethash. occasionally cryptonightgpu.

3070/60ti non L,6600xt,1660 a2000 most likely rvn or any kawpow ones
3080ti/80/60 or most nvidia could be octopus.
2060 already octopus / kawpow

btw, i got mine skein (woodcoin), erg on the side 24/7 just to test out.

i find nicehash having 5% is a little too much to swallow

game just started, challenging times ahead.

Asics and gpu still runs, energy supply has evolved. partial grid, partial off grid.

If you already running your own node you are fine, making less but not losing.

Stay strong and steer your way through this storm.

Cant help you on the vendor as i went the DIY route, have my own EE & ME boys design and supervised the general worker on installation over OT.

even wanted a water battery option but dont have a feasible head and money to make it happen.

Am using huawei and sunny boy btw. budget options will degrade slight faster than expected and the inverter will have issues down the road.
main cost is the battery.

Still working hard and churning out profits, as mentioned earlier. solo mining is still profitable, need some time to get used to it since its not guaranteed for a block everyday, unlike pool mining.

on the side, you can learn cuda to run a crypto trading bot. vulkan is a little bit scarce on resources, not so friendly compared to cuda.
can use the resources to scrape data everywhere and industrial targeted to sell data to interested party, you may need the best internet available. <-- actually makes more $$ than mining.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ETH went the route where we were running away from, doesnt look like a good direction as we're going back to phase 1 again.

with pos being the central control, your keys also might not be your coins. they're going to screw us all with web3 and pos.

Some asics are still profitable, gpu mining can try ergo or wood coin <-- did not expect can make money on this, was mining already long before POS

Mining in semenanjung is not as profitable in sabah/ sarawak btw.

Yea, so far so good. got income compared to negative.
alternatively you can look into nexa and dynex. since you have more 80 and 90s.

Kaspa about $0.5 / gpu
nexa and dynex can get 1usd /gpu

i am not keeping any of the coins myself, convert all to btc.

nexa and DNX is about Rm 0.5 difference per gpu for 3060 per day, both coins needed to be traded on smaller exchanges, current profitability is due to price surge. therefore the risk volatility is there. can make more or lose some. need to strategize nicely.

i never switched off my gpu units till now, so far so good with kaspa. Not like the good old days of ethash where you can make crazy load of money, but its some income compared to gpu sitting there collecting dust, since we all has already ROI the equipment from eth, now its just money making hardware. Asics is very very competitive due to people having free electricity from tnb and hardware profitability period is shorter compared to gpu.

luckily am able to buy more used 3070 during the crash for good pricing. great temp and efficiency as always. running those china 8x pcie mobo helps alot compared to risers.

its about time for your kandang of gpu to be alive and makes some $$ for raya.

We kinda mislook amd is terrible for efficiency on the alts, crying so much blood now.

Both, my hiveos / Linux based rigs mine directly kaspa, woolypoly.

My office/gaming/ leisure pc runs NH.

mine direct coin to save 5% off misc fees from NH.
(You can check on your history on how much NH charges you)

Btw, miner do charge you fees also, pick the miner that works best for you. There's no history on hash leeched from them.

If they want to become the next btc, they will use asics instead of gpu. It's not profitable to mine kaspa anymore, focus on nexapow and radiant would be better despite the smaller exchanges would cut you deep on spreads.

You haven't venture into solar a ? It's pretty good roi if you run solar + gpu/asics + profits from the mining to fund your future grid bots.

All these profits in usd then convert back almost near eth prime mining profits.

If your facility is big enough, running genset + solar + battery can be a lot more cheaper vs tnb or any utility co.

Malaysia got subsidized diesel and gas la....
