if you can run it 24/7 w/o disturbance, run on binance or other eth pools will have slight better payout compared to nicehash. if you occasionally need to shut down the miner for other stuff just go with nicehash. they are very fair on payout to hashrates, whereas mining pools will penalize you for not maintaining hash rate.

Putting a miner to good use

same here. from towels to shoes

Hi, newbie here. want to ask some questions about mining. I've done some mining on my own gaming laptop for fun (eth). Currently planning to get ASIC miners (need suggestions on what type and where to buy them ) budget is not an issue. Any tips & advice is great too. Thanks in advance

Fly dubai this november for the world digital mining summit 2021 and score yourself some there. now all asics are spot trading, most likely will be buying at scalper price for used machines.

what type depends on what facility you plan to host in and number of asics to run, and cost of electricity. different scenario different setup.


algo to look into now at today rate.

Pay electricity can make $$
(Rm3k to 90k / unit)

EThash
Scrypt
Kadena
Blake256
Equihash
Handshake
Cuckatoo

---------------------
cheap / zero cost electricity
(rm300 to 80k /unit)

Sha256
Cryptonight
X11
Blake2b
Eaglesong
Qubit
Tensority

Most spot requires you to take more than 2 units or moq 10, most deal only in btc.
If you want to try and understand about asics can just buy shopee/ lazada/ aliexpress/ alibaba those with escrow to prevent kena scam.

Fyi...

If have high leverage on budget buy gpu makes more money than asics, say scoring containers worth of them.
but your cost will be higher than local principal because manufacturers prefer to deal with long term partners instead of one off purchases, best bet go futian shenzhen can get what you want since there are a lot of jalan and supply there.

what is the market price for gtx 2060?

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.

you already answered your own question with the chart

you draw some gpu power from mining while gaming, and during gaming your gpu load is not constant compared to mining, and that might causes the invalid share
stale are mostly caused by your miner didn't response in time, probably also caused by your online gaming taking most of the bandwidth?

my 2 cents, me no expert

anyone here into helium mining? seems like catching up the trend here in malaysia... can share info??

learning it also, maybe we can repurpose telco anthena to giver huge coverage. but not sure whether will it affect other spectrum.

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?

IMO now GPU farming is still the safest bet
if you can get hold of GPU stock at a good price, why not?

even if the market crashed until it's no longer profitable to mine any coins, you still can sell off the GPUs easily unlike the ASIC miner, they will be almost worthless and difficult to resell

with GPU mining, there are still plenty of coins out there for you to mine once ETH2.0 is here, like you can try to mine Ravencoin now, it just need more resources compared to mining Eth

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

IMO, that "earthquake" scenario is unlikely as long mining other alt coins are still profitable

as long as there's profits, miner will still keep their cards, unless they are dumb enough to know how to mine ETH only

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

you go buy 8 units of the XPS from Dell,
take out the GPU sell for RM6k each
XPS without GPU sell for RM2k each
profits!

So you guys doesn't worrying 3080/90 vram temp always stay around 90-100c ?

Habislah Later they shutdown everything and refuse to pay especially to anonymous miners

They’ll say loh soli we tot u from china

#gg #sparkfool #penipuscammer

why stop expanding = take profit ? you should be profiting while expanding. run this gig like a proper business, if needed can always leverage to expand further.
if your passive / disposable income is unable to buy rigs monthly, yes you need to expand. if you can already sustain and float, yes you need more gpu.

before PoS alts differences would be 30 to 45% differences, after eth to etc i see it as transition period before alts up their game and start to be very profitable again.

gamer revenge or not they will still buy the gpu if you price it correctly, or sell it to other market. Do learn how to repurpose your card for other usage, Mining is only one of it.
why earthquake ? one time not enough a, big mining farm will continue to expand why not you ?

life span of 3080/90 depends on how you see, 3 to 4 years should be no issues. early adopters already made their money back and enjoying profits.
Vram temp issue is also human error issues. there are alot of ways to bring it down.. like constant 70C.

this might happen to all chinese pools, they are shutting down everything being feared suddenly disappeared from eye sight. whether refusing to pay to anonymous miners is up to them. can always contact customer support and try your luck.

I did managed to lowered my 3080/90 from 108c vram temp to 86-96 by thermal paste & pad, but how 70c
