Holy moly. In Australia, this will cost more than $5000. We are getting the fucking of a lifetime. Here is Amazon's shit.
Telling people to invest 5000$ in rapidly depreciating computer parts with an unknown time to ROI without mentioning anything about risk is incredibly irresponsible. Correct me if i'm wrong, but weren't you banned from Ethtrader for giving consistently incorrect advice?
What can you say about the daily rise in difficulty? https://etherscan.io/charts/difficulty Any mention about the unknown future of ethereum price? https://cryptowat.ch/poloniex/ethbtc/12h
Wait, why would you spend $3k on a rig with 2 cards? If you did any calculations whatsoever, you would've known that wouldn't have been profitable before even looking at anything.
I just put $3300 into a rig with 6 1070s ($600 for psu/cpu/risers/blahblahblah, $2700 for 6 1070s in a package deal) which when OCed and configured properly should push 180 mh/S.
Hell, I'm new at this and did some research before I put all the stuff together, but if you're putting together a rig with no mining power whatsoever made out of new parts, you're setting yourself up for disaster.
You need to know your potential profit before you even think of buying equipment. You put together a rig that has 1/3 the potential of the one I'm using but costs just as much, of course it'll take a ton of time to pay back.
Did you use NiceHash's calculator or the Ethereum Calculator before this to calculate things?
If you did, you would've seen that you average about $4.50 per day with each, and that works out to exactly what you said in your calculations, so that shouldn't be surprising....
Not trying to ridicule you here, just wondering what made you buy into something basic calculations should've said no to immediately.
I think there is to many factors involved to predict when its uneconomical. If the difficulty increases in the same pattern like the last 30 days, it's already a waste of money. But I think most of us will continue to mine at least for the next 12 months. In the winter the energy for me will be "free" as in I dont have to use any heater ;)
There's to many newcomers who think they will get ROI within 2-3 months because of misguiding calculators like this one: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/eth
Another factor is the value of ETH. It will probably continue to gain value and within 1-2 years it will probably be around $1000. So I think new miners will come along regardless.
So my guess is that most of miners will continue to mine and newcomers will start mining. Therefore I don't think there will be a "GPU crash".
And also "Ice age", resetting difficulty is factors that I don't fully understand, which is ironically why many people mine without understanding Ethereum. Including me :)
Are you undervolting with nvidia inspector? If not that will reduce your electricity use by a good bit, around 25% if you have similar results that I did.
Here is a guide on how to do it.
Be sure to check out the comments since I added some of my thoughts after implementing it.
Also you can use this calculator to figure out if it's still profitable. This of course assumes you'd sell it immediately at the current price. If you can afford the electricity costs and you have faith that it'll go back up in price you can just hold it until it does so.
However you also have to figure out if it would just be more cost effective to simply buy the coin outright. You've already got the rig though so as long as it's still profitable at current prices you might as well keep mining. Use that guide and you can cut down on your electricity bill.
Good luck.
I highly recommend Exodus. Most user friendly design, and handles multiple altcoins.
If you need advanced features, and even more availiable altcoins I recommend the "Eden" version of Exodus.

Download MSMG Toolkit V8.2 and create a stripped down version of windows 10 with all the bloatware in it, worked perfectly fine updating to 1803 on one of my rigs and have had 0 issues.
According to this guide, you are doing very well.
Yes, it is too late.
Do not forget the "opportunity cost"; with the $1400 USD you would spend on a GPU, you could instead just buy ETH directly. At today's prices, that would be about 0.4 ETH.
A LHR 3070 is likely gonna get you ~45 MH/s using NBminer / Gminer with LHR unlock features, which gets you ~0.028 ETH/month, so it will take about 14 months to mine enough ETH to "break even". If you were lucky enough to get a non-LHR 3070 you would expect ~58MH/s which is about 0.036 ETH/month so 11 months needed.
Keeping in mind that ETH PoS is "imminent" you likely do not even have 11-14 months left to mine.

> And with the bull market running almost 1 year already, should I just wait for the crash and GPU and 2nd hand GPU started flooding in?
Looks like you are completely misunderstanding the situation.
For starters, never try to time the market. Waiting for a crash is a terrible idea and you will most likely miss out. Better off to DCA (dollar cost average), essentially just make small purchases regularly over time, OR just go all-in right now and hodl.
But even more importantly, the 2nd hand market would be expected to be flooded with GPUs after ETH PoW has ceased. That means you will no longer be able to mine ETH at all, and there is no guarantee that the remaining GPU-mineable coins will be profitable. At this point buying a GPU for mining would be an even worse gamble that it is currently.
Unfortunately, such a risk is always present, and no matter how hard you try, no one will give you a guarantee that you won't lose both the possible profit and the product itself. The only thing I can advise is to take a closer look at buyers, ignoring newbies. And also, make a detailed description of your product without hiding anything so that the client can't find any defects after receiving the order, demanding his money back while keeping the product for himself. I fell for this trick once, and since then, I've given a thorough explanation of the items that I sold further.
Also, make the correct calculations so as not to remain in the red. I recommend using https://www.3dsellers.com/ebay-fee-calculator, especially if you're a newbie. It'll help with selling fees, profit, and correct sale price. And also look at the charges of competitors. Good luck!
It “started” but they reset the difficulty bomb because of the delay in releasing Casper (3TH/s to 1.5TH/s). So yes, the move to proof of stake. cryptocompare Coinwarz
Not sure where you are, but something like this would work if you got it in the right size for your window:
https://www.amazon.ca/Vodche-Universal-Conditioner-Air-Conditioning-Install-Air/dp/B08B856919/
You could also search for "casement window AC adapter"
A few options:
NordVPN should work fine, unless NordVPN servers are blocked. Have you tried getting support from NordVPN or pinging their servers?
You could use your cellphone hotspot to connect to Ethermine.
Or, you could join a different pool.
With a power cost that high you should have sold up many months ago, anybody paying more than $0.10kwh has no chance now.
You're losing $1 a day on that machine, when the block reward drops then you will really feel the lose.
PoS is coming. I think you'd get more out of $3000 ETH than you would $3000 of mining equipment over maybe another 6-12 months.
But hey, throw it through a calculator and see what it looks like.

I have one suggestion. You should give this product a try to see if it works: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ABN98PI/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me= Its a PCI-E Riser that splits it into 3 PCI-E slots! Only $28 on Amazon. I haven't bought it myself but will order it soon to add to my 5-PCI-e motherboard to see if i can get it to 7 slots total! I think it would be worth a try because if it DOES work, it would eliminate the need to buy EXPENSIVE 6 slot motherboards. Then you could just use ANY mobo you like, and save money!

This is a scam.
Use this link and if not google Ether mining calculator.
You can imput your MH, wattage and more and it will tell you on average how much to make and how long. And a quick google search will tell you how what GPUs to use. For a budget build people will use AMD i think the 480 or 580. both run about the same MH wise. and they are fairly decently priced compared to nvidia
I would highly recommend that you don't buy those.
Here's a profitability calculator from nice hash which should give you an idea what kind of returns you might be looking at.
https://www.nicehash.com/?p=calc
Seriously though, that's a bad price for those cards, and with the very shaky future of mining ethereum I really wouldn't be building any AMD mining rigs right now.
I literally repadded my 2nd 3090 FE this morning, and used that same video as a guide (also it was my guide for my initial 3090 FE several months back).
I think you did something wrong. Both of mine hash at 119MH/s, 94ºC/52ºC and 284w.
What pads did you use? On my first one, I used Thermaright Odyssey, 4-packs of the 1.5mm. On today's card, I used two packs of Gelid GP-Extreme 1.5mm on the die side, and two packs of Gelid GP-Ultimate 2.0 on the backplate side.
I also used a few of these (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YWLTZPS/) stuck onto the backplate with thermal tape, but I think these only bring temps down ~2ºC.
​
What size pads did you use, and did you follow the instructions in the video exactly with regards to placement and sizing?
You don't even need to do it manually, if you have something like this attached to the second PSU:
https://www.amazon.com/Antrons-24-Pin-Jump-Starter-Bridge/dp/B00K38IKRY
its gonna take about 10 months to mine the ~2.6 ETH needed to break even on these
I don't really care if they know I'm mining. It isn't a ton of traffic compared to streaming or gaming. You could add a firewall and tunnel your traffic through a VPN like Private Internet Access or Nord VPN. This could add latency which I have heard is a bad thing when mining.
I've been using Trust Wallet since for 6 months now. I like that it's super-stable, easy to use and holds my tokens. The dev team are v responsive on the telegram channel. Check it out at https://trustwalletapp.com
Given current difficulty, and ignoring the cost of electricity, how long will an RX 570 purchased for $165usd take to ROI?
Related, are either of the following two tools accurate? (1) http://whattomine.com/ (2) https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/#/equipment?f3=GPU
Um, math it out. 140,000mh/s / 140mh/s = 1000 of those rigs.
However, the calc here: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/eth shows more like 6,500mh/s gets you 1 eth/day, so you actually only need about 46 of those rigs. And I was mining around 180-190mh/s and it took an actual ~30d to earn 1 eth, so I'd say 6.5gh/s is more accurate.
I'm going to take a stab at answering for you:
A 1250w mining rig would cost around $189 per month in power cost of run 24/7 at a rate of 21 cents per kilowatt hour - which is San Francisco's rate in 2017.
I took a liberty of assuming ten gtx 1070 cards at 100w per card, leading you to 1000w for gpu and the other 250 for the rest of your components. A gtx 1070 can hash at 30mh/s. So I put 300mh/s into the profitability calc linked above.
Obviously this depends on your desired setup. More details needed to give you better estimates. That calc I linked is your best friend though. I highly recommend it. Why are you trying to build a 1250w rig exactly?
true, according to https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/eth?HashingPower=48&HashingUnit=MH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=191&CostPerkWh=0.24 I'm also better with eth. will run xmr for a day or so, to see where it goes and then switch back to dual eth/lbc. why do you mine sia? according to my calcs lbc is more profitable in dual mining?
Btw it's highly unlikely that you mined 3 blocks, that would take a normal 6 GPU rig about a month to pull off.
You don't "get" the blocks, you perform calculations on the transactions that occur within the blockchain as part of the whole. You are rewarded in shares for your work and then when a block is mined, usually by an entire pool of miners, the reward is divvied up by the shares each miner has accrued.
If you made it this far and you're this confused, this may not be the best idea for you. But if you insist, head on over to https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/guides/how-to-mine-ethereum/ to get the geth client installed on your machine and generate a wallet ID. Then you will receive a miner Address, note this down somewhere safe and then head to a pool, like ethermine.org and follow the instructions there to get set up using the Claymore miner.
Someone else wanna pitch in here, seems like this guy could use a hand...
Ehh.. it was running about 29 hashing power, with MSI afterburner cranked up high. According this calculator is runs about $5 a day, that's based on eth at $210. You need to get in this man. Also, i'm fortunate that I don't pay for power, so I don't care how much I use :-)
Part of the reason Zcash has been dropping is that the block reward goes up a little bit each time until it hits 12.5 tokens a block, some time around the end of the month.
Right now if you spent like 1000 bucks on cards you might make most of that back in Zcash by the end of year, prolly not in ETH or ETC unless they spike in price pretty hard.
so for instance if a 470 gets like 20 MH on eth/etc you get about 80mh drop that in to a calculator and see how long it would take to pay that off, taking into account power use age in your home if you dont have free power.
You can do some looking but i know im my own EXP this last week of Zcash has been way better for me than the last 2 months of etc mineing, i know it will drop off but its still more profitable day to day than ETC/ETH
Please don't hate me for non eth/etc talk and miner hopping im kinda in it for the $
Alt-coins, basically refers to everything that isn't Bitcoin - some people call Ethereum and alt coin, but it mainly just refers to smaller coins, not usually worth as much, but easier to mine so you get a lot of them.
For example the claymore miner allows you to mine with decred, siacoin and pascal, you could try and mine these (or some others).
I think Nicehash is meant to just mine whatever is best for you at the time and then convert it for you - subject to some fees
Im not an expert on nicehash though, so it would be a good idea to look around / speak to some other people, for now though, here are some details
Yes, if you're mining Eth only, that sounds about right. Nanopool is paying 1.54 a day: https://api.nanopool.org/v1/eth/approximated_earnings/28
NiceHash says a 480 is making $1.70 and $1.32 after power costs https://www.nicehash.com/?p=calc
I find that WTM almost always overestimates things. It's best to look at what pools are paying.
And it's good if you want to make money. Buyers place huge unprofitable orders all the time, and miners on NiceHash reap the benefits.
For instance, Nanopool's current Ethereum payout is 0.0208 BTC per day: https://api.nanopool.org/v1/eth/approximated_earnings/1000
NiceHash is paying 0.0213: https://www.nicehash.com/
The reason NiceHash often pays more is that buyers who either own pools or mine on Ethpool are willing to pay major premiums for hashing power because it's worth more to them than is it to the average miner.
It's NiceHash. This guy placed a big order and had it filled for a while and then either got outbid or ran out of money.
You can see the orders here: https://www.nicehash.com/?p=orders&a=20
There are quite a few people ordering hundreds of a gigahashes at a time.
Here's my method.
- Use kraken.com for most trading. Coinbase adds large fees.
- kraken.com can withdraw EUR to a Revolut account using SEPA transfer for a fixed cost of £0.09.
- Revolut can convert EUR to GBP at a very good rate.
- Revolut can withdraw direct to any standard UK bank account.
Transfer times from Revolut to kraken.com can take a few days or a few hours, but I'd rather be patient than have to pay Coinbase a large fee for an instant buy.
If you like the idea of a Revolut account, I would be grateful if you would consider using my invitation link, https://revolut.com/r/stefancdu
Build 17025 has worked well for me.
Just did some quick math and realize you are only getting 26MH/s per GPU, that is low for those cards, you should be getting 30+. Patch the BIOS on your cards once you get your rig stable, but disregard the pixel patcher until you do (pixel patcher only help with BIOS modded cards).
I don't have any experience with that mobo so I can't help you with it but there may well be some BIOS settings that you need to modify before you can get 5 cards to run, etc. Maybe someone else with experience with this mobo can offer more advice on that.
I think before anyone will be able to give you any more specific advice you will need to do some more troubleshooting. Change card/riser configurations until you can reproduce it, narrow down what component is failing. Is it the GPU, the riser, the PCIe on the mobo (is it the x1 or the x16)? Isolate what component is causing issues before troubleshooting.
You are most certainly overclocking your GPUs too much which ~~could be~~ is leading to some of your system instability.
> ...shutdown/reboot, then once it loads into windows black screen
That is overly aggressive memory clocks. Use HWiNFO to tune your GPUs so they don't throw any GPU errors and that black screen (along with other "mysterious") will go away. I tune my new GPUs individually on a Windows 10 box dedicated to do just that.
You replaced hardware (AMD cpu/mobo) that wasn't causing the problems you were trying to fix.
Just a few more pointers while you're clocking
I use 1200 Core Clock. Many use lower values around 1150. The lower you go the less power you draw, but it starts affecting your hashrate around this point.
Always restart your miner after every change and if you hit something that doesn't make sense restart the rig.
Use HWInfo to detect memory errors. A few of these, particularly when the miner is starting up, are fine, but if you're getting a lot you've clocked to high and the rig is very likely to crash after a while.
My default undervolts for my cards are 900 Core Voltage and 875 Mem Voltage. These are pretty safe values and you should be able to reach them without problems.
If you have any more questions hit me up.

This is a C-19 cable, not whatever you posted.
These are the pads that I bought. You just have to make sure you get the correct thicknesses for your card. If you are off by even 0.5mm they could be too thin and not make proper contact, or too thick and cause the heatsink to not make proper contact with the GPU die anymore.

you would need risers if you want a lot of GPUs, 2-3 would probably just fit right on the motherboard

I am not sure what technical specs to look for, but they were highly rated. Seem to be working well so far. I would recommend them.
You cam use the same powered risers for all of your slots, regardless of what size the slot is. You only need the 1x - 16x risers. A lot of people recommend ordering an extra riser or two just in case one is bad, though I have yet to receive a bad one myself, others have.
Panto makes good 006C ones if you want the 6 pin risers. No issues with them.
If you want the standard 006 risers, I've purchased some from MintCell on amazon (Usually the ones linked from a lot of guides) and also had no issues... those have the 4 pin molex. (Avoid using the SATA adapters if you can)
I got several sets of these off Amazon. Came from Texas, got to NY in like 3 days including a weekend. A little higher price per, but USA and they're the 007 with 4 capacitors and a choke.

You can try with minerstat. For free accounts we offer monitoring of 2 wallets and 2 pools and we support Ethermine and several other pools monitoring. It is mining monitoring app, but you can use it only as a pool and/or wallet monitoring if you like. We don't have any ads in it.
You can find the app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.cordova.minerstapp (but you need to register on the web and add pool for monitoring there first).
Ethermine.org has a lower payout threshold and might be a better choice if you're running a single card.

I think what u/TheAttofPaperHands is saying is there is a difference between ROI and Break even.
Just for reference, in financial terms ROI (return on investment) is there period it takes for your investment to produce 100% of the initial investment in profit (i.e. spend $100, earn $200 from the investment - that's $100 of the investment and $100 of return).
This can also be expressed as a percentage (i.e. the percentage of profit after the initial investment amount has been earned).
BEP or break even point is what you've achieved, when an investment has earnt it's cost back (which is an ROI of 0%).

but... 2x3060ti are giving you 1.200Mhs??
maybe i lost something, im not a proffesional miner but everything i see in internet talks about 61mhs for one 3060ti
you should be getting up to 60 MH/s from desktop version of RTX 3070, try playing with settings, see the table here https://www.nicehash.com/blog/post/nvidia-and-amd-graphics-card-oc-settings-for-mining
I would get some 120mm fans to blow across the cards (like in this rig: https://www.nicehash.com/blog/post/the-most-profitable-mining-rig-in-2021), this will get some circulation going and remove the hot air. I just cable tied some onto the mounting bar where you have the cards screwed in, works fine.
I'm in Aus where temps have been 25-31 deg. C in the last few weeks, RTX 3070s are running at <60C, which they'll do forever. My old RX580 rigs run at 73C, probably hotter when I used to dual mine in 2017! Still going strong...
As u/JoeMama42 said, if you can vent the hot air out of the room it will help a lot.
Funny, I actually had this same idea yesterday and set up something similar.
My miner runs linux and claymore so I take advantage of the "reboot.sh" script flag available in claymore.
I set up an IFTTT trigger via a webhook: https://ifttt.com/maker_webhooks
When my miner goes down it sometimes won't come back up without a hard power reset so I do a curl request to the webhook endpoint right before shutdown in IFTTT to toggle my wemo insight off then back on. Works like a charm.

Ive heard that all AMD 6000 cards are bad for mining compared to rtx 3000 or rx 500/5000
the 3060 has an expected hashrate of 45MH/s according to Nicehash
I would recommend 3060 if you can get them, I have no idea if you can buy multiple. Resale value alone makes it worth trying to get
It's pretty easy to find rx 570/580 8gb for ~$200 if you watch eBay, for 2 of them its ~20% higher cost but you can get over 30% higher hashrate than the 3060. This would consume close to double the power but you would be able to get the cards much easier probably

Exactly. The devs release a coin, mine millions of them when it's trivial to mine, and then they pay people to promote their coin (often with the coin itself so that they have a vested interest). Suckers buy the coin, the price rises, the insiders cash out, and said suckers are left holding bags.

There is not much info on the 3090 Gaming Trio X out there - most posts relate to the 3080.
FWIW, I've done the pads as you have - just used the Thermalright, not the Gelid ones. I also do not have a fan on the back (yet).
I've dropped mine from 108c to around 102-104 in room ambient of 25c or so. Not great.
When the room is 20c it's sitting around 98-100. Again, not great.
Your power looks really high to me.
I've got my Afterburner set as follows:
Power Limit: 80% (295W - 415kW/H)
Core: -150
Mem Clock: 1200
Fan speed: 80%
​
Im averaging 122 MH/s.
​
I'm going to change my case soon as it's a bit tight in there, even with the side off. Probably look into making sure the pads are making the right contacts as well, although there is no doubt it IS running cooler, it was touching the throttle point of 110c on occasion before I did the change. Maybe look into the Gelid ones because as you say, the Thermalright ones are pretty solid and do not compress much at all.
Also, I have a MASSIVE Noctua NH-D15 on my i9 9900k, and this is basically touching the backplate on the 3090, so clearly this is not doing it any favours for airflow.
​
Not sure if these cards just run super hot, but I'm jealous I'm not seeing sub 90c VRAM like others have reported by changing the pads on their 3090s.
​
Anyway, be interested to see what your VRAM temps are, I'm sure they will be lower with that fan on the back, but I'd check out the power level definitely.
Get HWiNFO here and use it to check your VRAM temps, the slowdown seems a little extreme but chances are your VRAM is getting quite hot (105C+) and thermally throttling. Some of the early 30 series SKUs had serious quality control issues with badly placed thermal pads on the memory.
If it is that you'll either need to RMA it or replace the pads yourself. If you live somewhere with no right to repair I'd probably suggest the former.
Use https://www.hwinfo.com to monitor the memory junction temp of your card.
If it goes above 110c it throttles the performance.
Have you used a programme such as MSI Afterburner to adjust your card settings? If not, you really should do. Running a stock 3090 mining isn’t advised.
I use this site instead of whattomine. whattomine profits are too optimistic.
​
OK I will stop picking on you.
This is not a magic money printing system with 22 MH/s you would probably best case make 0.3 ETH in a year and that is with it working 24/7 with no other use of the computer. Check out the link below. Your going to need to calculate the total wattage of your system and how much you (or your parents) pay for electricity. No way are you going to make $86 a month.
As far as the problem with it crashing we would need more details.
My suggestion is just to play around with it a little more and browse the threads in this reddit.
>1.18
So, Ethereum mining is much more profitable than Zcash:
Ethereum: 90Mh/s -> 0.2824 ether -> $ 33 / month
Zcash: 1.18Kh/s -> 0.07187 ZEC -> $ 3.77 /month
(Assumptions: Power consumption (w) = 1000 , Cost per KWh ($) = 0 , Pool Fee (%) = 1)
​
Thats a fair price if the rig is stable.
49/51 Mhs per card with Ethlarge Pill, if your rig uses mores than 1500w, you will be losing money. But you should be under that according to whattomine its 160w per card, so 800/900.
-> $ 3.48 / day -> $ 1,269 Profit per year
ROI after 1.5 years
That makes things even more interesting percentage wise! Let me recalculate the chart then.
My info was from https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/guides/what-are-mining-rewards-in-ethereum/
Seems like this article is outdated since Byzantium got launched. Thanks for correcting me!
If you have free electric you should get that card overclocked and mining and creating something. But it’s going to be way way way less than your thinking.
You should go to sites like https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ and check which coins have the most potential. Of course you have to research if really there is potential in that coin, for example reading the corresponding website. Who knows, maybe in one of those coins that now are valued a couple of cents and are super easy to mine, there is one that in a couple years could be worth hundreds of dollars.
yes, you'll need a write tool like Balena Etcher to make it a bootable usb.
Other commenter posted that Windows is free, not so much if you are paying for a new license for an installation.
HiveOS & Minerstat OS are completely free if only running 1 rig, that includes remote monitoring through a web browser & mobile apps. And most distros of linux are free use, you won't get the remote monitoring tools with a straight linux install though.
Thanks all for your well reply, I brainstorm with my friends for found the best secure solution for us.
I have created a USB formated same as hdd with 16.04 LTS.
I read this because of you and I found is very helpful : https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@tomshwom/tomshwom-s-advanced-crypto-security-guide-part-3-creating-a-secure-wallet
I have install for test without funds exodus, mist and Jaxx on my personal computer.
I found this on parity : https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@etheraveum/parity-wallet-hack-explained
But the problem is appearing solve.
Thank you again guys. Sorry for my English.
Mr Robot back in 63 days, maybe we seen new way for hack wallet and quickly resolve the issue 😂
Do some research. Don't just chase the current 'it' coin. There's plenty of money to be made if you are willing to look into what caused these coins to spike in value.
Hi - thanks in advance for any help
I followed a guide and installed ethereum wallet which synced the blockchain.
I have read a fair few guides and many of them suggest syncing with Geth - what's the real difference?
This was the guide https://steemit.com/ethereum/@gobbahfett/easiest-guide-to-mining-ethereum-eth-windows-amd-nvidia-part-1
https://steemit.com/ethereum/@tommylin/6-12-2017-cloud-mining-profitability-update-usd2716-100-mh-s
My friend does it. Seems like a slightly better option than buying directly if ur in it for 2 years.
I got one before i built my own rig. Looks ok
For the best ROI.. 1$ will do it.
For real, seems like the standart ROI is about 250 days on average for msrp, maybe a bit less. Around 400 days for current prices...
Take a look a this : https://www.kryptex.org/en/best-gpus-for-mining
If you want to calc your ROI yourself, go to 2cryptcalc and see how much ether your getting for 1 day and for a single megahash and do this :
ROI in days = GpuPrice / ( GpuHash * SingleMegaHashRewardDaily * EtherPrice )
Hey! 24 mh/s is an indicator without updating the BIOS firmware and overclocking. Using this you can get 30 mh/s on ETH. I advise you to read about overclocking, for example here.
- solo/pool are identical in long term
- buying coins = 'avoiding no payback' risk
- use calculators online (ie, whattomine or kryptex). 6x588 will grant you ~220-230 usd/mo at the current profitability
- network speed is not important, ping and connection stability are. properly tuned 580 eats up to 75-80w, the rest system up to 100w; all combined not more than 650w. use that combined with the hashrate and electricity price to get the revenue
- you may try some search around the community. tbh, it's better to wait for some time for mining-gpu prices to cool down and get, let's say, a money-efficient 5700's later
How to mine ETH?
- Choose a pool to mine ETH. There are a lot of them, most of them use outdated code and don't recieve the full reward.
- Choose a wallet to store all your coins. You can't trust exchanges or wallets that don't give you your private keys. You have to memorize or keep in secure place your private key. No private key = no money.
- Choose a miner to mine ETH. Claymore or Phoenix or something else?
- Spend a lot of time with settings and .bat files.
- Realize that there are more profitable coins for your GPU.
- Realize that you can increase your total profit by mining Monero on your CPU.
- Spend a lot more time to find out how to setup Monero mining.
Or just try Kryptex. They prepared everything for you! I think that it's better to mine different profitable coins and withdraw ETH, BTC or USD.
My main PC has i7 8700k and gtx1660ti, I pay $0.076 per 1 kWh. I still get profit. Just undervolt your GPU to lower its power consumption. Your 5700xt is more profitable than my 1660ti — https://www.kryptex.org/en/hardware/amd-rx-5700-xt
$500 MSRP.
You want to heat your house with it. Noise aside, you need a 6 GPU rig for that. Let's assume you have the parts. $3000 initial investment. Let's say you get free shipping.
To be stable, a Vega 56 OC/ed runs about 38mh/s at 160W. For a 6 card rig, you get 228mh/s at 960W.
Assuming you are mining ETH and selling it, here is your ROI.
Assuming difficulty increases + wear and tear, your ROI is about 14-15 months.
If you're not doing Ethereum, and instead are wonking around with Monero or something, you might be able to whittle it down to 10-11 months, but I wouldn't count on it.
ROI of 4-5 months is a fairy tale.
Cool, thanks for the reply. Lol it says I can make a profit, am I doing it right? This is x6 1070's which generate 30mh/s each card.
What I meant is more along the lines of this following scenario. https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/bitmain/antminer-s9-miner/
Looking at this as an uninformed beginner, I'd think "wow in 163 days, I will break even then in another 163 days I will double my profits!" I then decide I should invest in a mining operation, planning to buy 5-10 Antminers, expecting to break even relatively soon and rack in over $13,000 profit per year.
It's very easy to over-extrapolate and not account for rising difficulties, scarce supply of miners/GPUs, etc.
If it were really this easy then I think I should order for myself a few Antminer S9's right now! From what I understand though, it's not this simple. I'd love to learn more though. I currently just have a small altcoin mining setup since I felt I was too late to board the bitcoin mining train.
Just remove the 2 days you wouldnt be farming (5/7) of this. Pays for the card pretty quick if you ask me :P
Since its your gaming PC, will assume you wont mod the cards BIOs for mining, so you should expect about 25 MH/s rate. According to that calculator, based on todays stats, and with zero power costs as you say, thats about $133 month.
Youll probably lose money due to electricity costs.
Only thing I can find, not worth the time or load on system though.
input values for the cards/consumption/cost of electricity. going to require a little leg work on your part. research pos and how that will impact your roi. research modified bios for your brand of card and how that will impact hashrate. in my experience with crypto mining, you will (more often than not) need to come to your own conclusions. hand holding is not a thing here
really? 120$ with 6x1070? As I counted single 1070 gets me around ~32Mh/s, which would be 1,5$/day and 10,5$ for a week. mining pure ethereum.
Now If you make it 6x1070, I would still get ~63$/week. And still would have to minus the electricity cost from there.
https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/nvidia-gtx-1070?e=0.15&currency=EUR
Even if I calculate with nicehash profitability calculator, I'm still getting maximum of ~70$ for a week. Although it has my electricity cost, and you might have cheaper. But still even with 0$ for electricity this calculator gets me 90$ per week, for your 6x1070.
In my experience, I have never achieved what nicehash profitability calculator says and kept it as overly optimal number.
What sort of settings are you running? What are the actual hashrates? Do you have screenshot of the actual esimation from nicehash saying 17$/day? I would very much like to improve my income to that level.
ETH isn't the most profitable for a 1080.
Consider checking this page: https://www.nicehash.com/?p=calc
Just input your card and it will show which algorithm/coin is most profitable at certain times. ETH (Dagger Hashimoto) is at around 0.1% of the time.
9.35MH/s is very low. I do not have 1080ti but there https://www.nicehash.com/?p=calc you can see that it has 35 MH/s on average. My GTX 1070 overclock parameters (offsets) are:
core - 120mhz
memory - 1300mhz
I use Linux though. I know there is some setting on Windows in the nvidia control panel like "Optimize for computing" that also should increase nvidia hashrate.
