Back in 2018 there is no covid lock down to propel crypto growth, no chip shortage as bad as now. You can still buy gpu when you got money. Now got money also no stock lol. ASICS is always the latest and most efficient ones, even ASICS also delayed delivery.

We are in a very special time, of course old rigs needed to be disposed so you can get the latest ones.

Just buy new ones while selling the old ones every month.
Can make money also from trading hardware lol.

Check your settings again. I think your setup at current market is about 22 to 24 usd.

Overheat issues just stay away from msi and gigabyte, the rest should be OK. Or just diy and upgrade all thermal pads and grease by yourself. I just placed order for cmp 90hx and expected to receive in 3 to 4 weeks, damage is about 12k/ card.

3090 would be a good bet compared to cmp. 5k If can score for a 3070 is better than a 3060ti, although I did promote to get 3060ti before lol. I only keep 8 pcs of 3060ti and sold most of my stash out alrd.

I find 3070 better in efficiency and oc for mining. 99w for 58mh/s. Cincai make also avrg on 54.5% efficiency, comparable to 5700xt of 90w for 55mh/s and better resale value or gaming purposes.

Idk bro, you actually need a lot of ram for chia and the raid support you can get. Not to mention get unbreakable ssds.

Consumer grade is like Russian roulette.

can read a little on bitfield and using ram as virtual memory to plot, good hardware avrg on 4 hrs +- under 5 hours per plot and consumer grade estimated about 9 to 12 hrs, provided your machine is holding up.
good cpu required so you can parallel plot as much as possible. later farming state just use shoe rack and put all hdd there like gpu mining or you can use Jbod or nas depending on you.

Additionally if you can read Chinese, go lookup more resources there. They even utilize gpu to help to boost in speed for plotting, ssd killer is just some initial trial and error thing.

Red bios editor and more power tool, all diy. didnt manage to use hive on my 5700xts' sold them all for nvidia 30 series.
Cant help you much since i didnt keep copy, bunch of resources online though.

But good performing ones all running under water block la, vram temp is lower compared to air cooled.
Air cool always has temp issues, changing the thermal pads and grease every 3 months.

3080
gigabyte, pny, inno <-- these 3 runs hot. can solve needed more attention to them only. my cards mainly doing 40 to 54 range in ac, non ac max 57( all across the board from 60ti,70,80,90) dispose all team red alrd. team red only 49 max under water still 4C higher than nvidia under water.
Bykski if buy bulk from them is really cheap +- within 200 per block with back plate. use the barrow twin rad outside setup also another 1k +- depending how you nego and upgrade the rad to hardwarelabs. upgrade to water cool is only another rm2600+- worth it la. looking at current price we estimate to score Rm20k profit. 13% from profit. assuming you already ROI. when first launch 3080 only 3 to 4k a card better ones like aorus xtreme, rog strix only like 5k.


looking at current condition just grab whatever you can, they updated the chipset, no longer Ga102 because pushing cmp cards. build whichever you feel like building.
I am making a shift from gpu to asics for eth. 80% efficiency, cannot say no to this lol. assuming you getting at special prices 8x 3080 also within RM60k per rig scoring at least 1 pallet.

assuming 720mh/s for 8 gpu and consuming 1680w +- compared to 2gh 2500w.
asics can put more per sqft. easier to manage say 100+ rigs and above, how you want to manage and adjust accordingly to your strategy.

Yes europe and US pays differently, if not mistaken europe by day, us by night can score more. but mining at nicehash is losing some margin.
if based on cards 20 cards difference is about usd30 a day compared to eth pool. the more rigs you have higher the number it is, same goes with sha and other algorithms.

I dont know how many th/s of eth you are running and your capacity, if i share with you is like i am fueling my competitor
Maybe when my 2nd phase is ready i can share, but it will take sometime as we are procuring renewable energy facilities around asean for this purpose.

in the meanwhile if you are serious enough can really go and buy CMP 90hx as they are GA102 w/o dp, they give really good pricing if you are not buying through local distribution channel. got to commit to volume only.
so far local distributors will sell you about 12k +- / pc. delivery about 3 to 4 weeks.

Inno 11 and new bit main will take at least 8 to 9 weeks for delivery, a10 pro is available everywhere.

whats DL ?

well worth to gamble if your monthly profits are not for 'ROI' pure profits, i believe with the rigs you have maybe already 20gh/s and above ? so monthly 45k usd can buy asic still left with balance to fund other asset classes and contracts.

By the time we say bye bye, already made enough profit from hardware and channel the computational power else where.
there is very very wide use for high powered GPUS, 3070 is actually quite good for a number of usages. not to mention your 3080, 3090's

cant comment on cmp until i receive my stock to run various test and real usage benchmarks on them. maybe need to invest on some hardware upgrade because cant run on 4x speed risers, and will burn lol.

3060 if you know how to get it work for eth, 3060ti if you dont know how to get it work.
3060ti is basically a 3070, since its the same ga104, only less cuda cores. not so pleasing for playing games or visual, as a work steed its fine.

It started as a hobby, now it became a side hustle since it resonates well with my other sides of main businesses. Other services revolving mining is making more stable profits, requires even bigger capex if you were to own the assets, contracts on the other hand is entirely different story

After POS you can either sell them or mine other less profitable daggerhashimoto since its on circuit. or we all can launch a centralized daggerhashimoto coin later with tons of functions and sell to businesses.

Daggerhashimoto = Ethash eth algo like Sha256 for Btc.

can say like that, i got license to deal with explosives. but this has nothing to do with crypto mining lol.
More of energy trading business.

Definitely cheaper than retail and what ever bundle available on the market, take a look around. Browse shopee prices and you will know.

You are not the first to the party, hopefully not the last as nvidia rolling out gpu with limiters. Although 3090 alt coins also at 12 usd /day.

More over opt for the big capacit hdd ones so you can mine with your mining rig for 3090 and Alienware case for chia. Already a lot of people doing this, buy Alienware for the gpu and sell the rest of the systems or convert to chia mining. All pure profits after a few months lol.

Alienware rtx 3080 make more sense, if dollar to dollar par.
In cases where you only want to get your hands on 3090, 13k is still pretty good. Usually you get 3090 is because you have all these 1660s , 3060ti,70,80 and build only 90 to save more space since same number of rigs/ cards you can only cramm into per sqf.

In dollar sense and just started in, get whichever card that best fits in your budget for maximum hashrate and efficiency.

If you already running a facility, it is most logical to save spaces as other costs eats in you feel the pinch. It will become a hashrate game in the end, where you are competing to churn out as much hash rate and inevitable asic + gpu route.

Dollar par is still 3080, go for it

Why Ant miner s9 ? Its making about 4 usd a day while consuming 1400w, electricity will cost you about RM 580 and your ant miner only make less than Rm500 not to factor in the deafening high decibels emission. if really want to try asic mining i strongly suggest you look for a scrypt asic since doge and ltc is climbing and can still mine quite a good number for breakeven while have some profits. for example L3+ can breakeven in 2 months on current prices and make you about 5k usd a year. Sha256 is almost a dead end game already for non millionaires, even millionaires just enough to keep a float on btc mining.

Asic worth to get

-Scrypt
-Blake256R14

definitely will make money and pay for electricity. very fast roi in 60+days <-- for starters or small capital players.

Avrg on usd 2k, cheapest about 1.7k usd. kangtao ones source yourself. Scrypt based is on steroids now, flip your antminer also made profit alrd lol.

L3+ about 8k+- since they will sell at 2k usd / unit,
Inno a6+ is about 3k usd. I last check market still has a few hundred units available. Mind you it's all used machine, so prepare to fork out for new psu along the way. Hopefully you do not require to buy a new control board also along the way.

S9 is totally out of the question, electricity will kill you unless you got solar or alternative cheap power source.

Roi in 80+ days if doge coin maintain current price, or ltc slightly longer.

Alienware cases has overheating issues if you use it non other than its intended purposes. As mentioned, we buy is because to take the gpu only as opposed to current stock shortage of cards.

depending which you get, 500mh is about 11usd/day on nicehash now.
Yea L3+ very good price, better sell now than never.

1. Dell confirmed is about 8 weeks. Confirmed LHR chance is high because even dell dont get enough stock to assemble their pcs. there is always mineable stuff available, its not like rtx 40 series will launch next year. if you are patient just mine until you ROI. so many choices, its not asic.
btw, it would seems 3090 will have no limiter variant. so expect the price to stay high unless they really release the a100 cmp. limiter is just to sell their expensice cmp cards.

2. If both BTC and ETH is so easily manipulated by musk better stay away from these both, it about time for a correction and profit taking to shake off retailers or those w/o holding power. check options and contracts also.

3. Proof of stake is not coming July2021, EIP1559 is. if POS is here i will withdraw all 32 eth, cant wait to see the interest from early staking. If you referring to beacon chain its already up but yet to merge and not so soon as july. EIP 1559 will slash incentive to miner hence profit down.

4. I believe miners has already started mining alts by themselves, and yes tq for telling people to stay away from nicehash. try hive, minerstat, awesome etc instead. its fun, no coding or rocket science involved.

already a validator, not going to continue once mainnet is up. i did posted a question lastime when it started.

Thank you for sharing your chat, try a purchase and you will know.

people buy prebuit to play games still ok ma...
it is a viable solution when you have so many rigs of 3070, 3080 and now you want more hash for easier managing your pile of computers lol.

Do explore erg, ctxc, cfx mining.
when it shows profit of x amount means electricity is not even an issue you need to worry about, its fixed at about 7% of what ever you are making either in profits or loss. heck if you know where to and how to leverage get into electric contracts where it is definitely cheaper than tnb. your other cost are the big chunks, infra cost, management and upkeep.

rtx 30 series price will drop once rtx a series is out, finally some affordable proper deep learning cards. so less people will want to buy rtx30 series, convert more cards for mining lol


Every day is different due to rising difficulty and variable block size. If your hashrate is not very high for stability can stick with nicehash since you are renting out the hashrate.
1. nicehash take a cut of your mining power, take a cut when they disburse the profits to you, take a cut when you transfer out. <-- of course you feel the pinch when your hashrate is around 1gh/s.
even nicehash has profit difference on region and time period

Its here, 3080ti also here. Wont GG la, why so worry. pricing coming down tho for some brands.
not all as some distributor marked up the distribution price so certain brands will be more expensive then others.

3070 ones will come in June for LHR.
