Has anyone who get into CHIA storage mining? 
how is the cost & profit (estimation) in mid to long-term compare with GPU mining?

Checked some youtube video
Ordered thermal paste, 3.5g for RM58 wow
Gonna break into my 3090 and mod it, hopefully i wont break anything
The 1st day i receive my R12 3090, i break the Sata power cable socket 
I asked a technician friend come and check, end up using another power socket, so you know how new i am 

get 3070ti, mine raven coin. about 3.9 usd/ day = better ROI than eth. conflux can reach about 4 usd at times. now about 2.8 usd/day. OC depending on you. 3080ti can get real low also.
Eth already no longer the most profitable algo for some cards. 3070ti can get for 3.4 / 3.5k / pcs more can get about 3.3 to 3.1 range. distributors have alot of stock on hand, give them a call and nego for an offer.

i find LHR cards are such a bargain to mine alts, after august shall monitor how the market might react after eip1559 where eth will lose another 30% on your mining profits makes it to about 2.xx usd/day

gpu are not asics, if you are getting the ethash asics then yes, you only have about 6 months for POS. then later change to etc.

cards will maintain above msrp, might not be as crazy as before. still price will dip a little and rise back for various scenario of supply and demand

With hardware cost costing a bomb now a days, I'd like to get some opinions on time frame of recovering back your ROI.

I've been hearing ideally (Best cast scenario) is 3 months but I have no idea how they do it. I crunched some numbers and feel the realistic point would be around the 8-11 months, depending on the coin you plan to mine.

Raven now seems the most profitable but damn it comes a lot of power..

thanks for the realistic input. I was thinking to build a new rig 4 cards in total with 18-20k capital. Covering electric cost, I can achieve ROI by 10 months or earlier thats if the market doesnt crash.

Numbers makes sense but still a bit hesitant and would like to get more opinions from seasoned miners.

3070ti's actually but i know its risky if the profitable alt coins crash or no longer profitable. Still new to the mining scene, little too late to join the bandwagon i know, but since i also not much time to game nowadays so let it part time mine (3070ti).

RISC rig? Ape tu? ahahaha

Mining pools stealing ETH from miners

Sparkpool
2Miners
F2Pool
Ezil Pool

Any coins and any pools will have this as long as its possible for empty blocks happening. It's a type of business model for operating mining pools btw. Where got free lunch like 0% fees, money has to come somewhere.

Software take a cut, pools take a cut. As long as it's still profitable for all the game will continue. They will keep you alive so they can continue to leech.

Miner still take home the most btw.

It's just how finance works.

Is gaming while mining causing stale and invalid share? I cant seem to find any answer from google.


Those spots with wavy green line are when i was gaming.

Do you think keep expanding GPU currently is still good idea?
How do you determine when to 'stop' expanding GPU and collect profit?
Once ETH changed to PoS, what is your opinion for the profitability decrease to mine other coin?

I'm not familiar with mining alt coin like RVN or others
I can imagine/predict, once unable to mine ETH, there'll be a 'gamer revenge activity like 'lets say no to mining card' or etc.
And it'll earthquake for a month, then everything back to normal again, big mining farm will still get those discounted GPU and expand again
btw what's the lifespan of card like 3080/3090 ? let's say 24/7 working vram temp at 96 degree?
These 2 top tier card always have vram temp issue, while 3070 or below normally doesn't had these vram issue

edit: i did mining ETC on my laptop with 4gb card with GPU temp 52-59, if i change to mine alt coins, the settings is not an issue for me 

Talking about gpu price going down, how the hell encik ibrahim manai got this many from dell?

Im doing some light mining too. Using Kryptex. No aircond. Below 3% rejection. 0% stale. Use pc for google, dload movie, youtube & dota.

RX470 / 23.5MHs / 66c / 61watts / underclock
RX580 / 32.5MHs / 58c / 89watts / underclock
GTX1080 / 24MHs / 55 / 115watts / underclock + oc vram

GTX3060Ti just arrived.

How to check vram temp? Should i get s9i miner or just add more gpu for mining?

I can built shelter outside my house. if the return is high then i dont mind about power consumption. For now my pc can give me usd200 per month (current rate usd43k/1btc). I dont know how much i can get from the s9i. Any info?

Windows 11 is available for download for Malaysian starting today, main highlight is DirectStorage for superfast gaming experience. Only caveat it needs above 20 series RTX GPU from Nvidia  and RDNA 2 GPu from AMD which start RX6800 and above, 6700 XT is Navi22

So after the merge, then POS, even gamers also do not want your lower tier GPUs.  Later scalper sell them cheap in shopee and you dunno going to sapu all. All e-wastes in the making.

My hashrate for Intel i9 11900k RTM 1.1k hashrate, is that normal?
Used to mine XMR, approx 6k hashrate if i remember correctly
Simple search and i found out that seems intel are not friendly for RTM

Rtm benefit the most on the big L3 cache on ryzen compared to Intel.

Intel wasn't great at monero either. R5 3600 hitting 8k hash btw.

That's why i doubt the profitability for CPU mining (Intel user)
So conclusion is ryzen is more efficiency then intel in terms of cpu mining
