Monero has said they'll hardfork (edit: in 12 days) to get them off the network, hence the huge "NO REFUNDS" on Bitmain's order page. I think it's logistically impossible to do that regularly, though.

Lockback posted:$12k and does not include the power supply. For a badly engineered box with cables jutting out, with no warranty, that will become obsolete anytime the devs feel like changing a few lines of code, and all it does is burn electricity and add up some numbers to make different numbers Edit: oh and they’re probably “testing them” right now ie burning the poo poo out of them “to make sure they work”, oh these difficulty increases are just a coincidence because clearly everyone wants to get into the Monero action, the drug currency of the future Awesome What’s the preorder link again?

If it's anything like previous ASICs it probably also spews all kinds of RF noise and the FCC may track you down and politely ask you to turn it off

They've probably already been testing them for a month or two.

I’m half asleep, so I want to double check with the thread that I’m not missing something obvious. Just moved 6 1070s (3 EVGA SC2 and 3 EVGA FTW) and 2 1080 tis (one EVGA SC and one MSI Armor) over to a Biostar TB250-BTC+ motherboard; all GPUs detect in Windows10 and in NiceHash, however only the 1070s or only the 1080tis will mine at any given moment or NiceHash will cycle through connecting to whatever algorithm over and over with no result. Any ideas?

I think the limit for consumer Nvidia drivers is 6 cards at once. Move to 4 1070s and 2 1080 Tis and see if that works.

I’m starting to see more cards being sold, perhaps the moment has arrived ? How’s the mining profit these days?

Are you using Windows 10, build 1709? Otherwise there is a limit to the number of cards you can have working.

Checked out nicehash today, USD $1.40/day on my 1070 before power, which is not even a $10/month profit after power. poo poo crashing just in time for NV's next gen.

Lube banjo posted:there's nothing to suggest that nvidia is going to release new consumer graphics cards this year. The numerous reports of Pascal production having been halted does rather scream that they're preparing something else. If they weren't, they'd be happily churning them out en masse--there's tons of demand for their cards, after all. The real questions are (1) when will they drop, (2) will they drop in quantities large enough to satisfy demand, and (3) what sort of price shenanigans are we going to see.

they could just rebrand the the 1080 as the 1170 and so on and AMD still couldnt touch them. Miners would suffer but gamers would be happy

The serious players are using ASICs, the bag-holders are still HODL'ing. lol if you actually believed that whole "GPUs will always be around" bullshit that some of the self-interested miners were spouting, it's been obvious for at least a month that the jig's up, have fun flipping on ebay this month or I guess maybe the ASICs are all a lie, what even is a Bitmain, who can say Paul MaudDib fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Mar 18, 2018 |

Paul MaudDib posted:The serious players are using ASICs, the bag-holders are still HODL'ing. I’m pretty happy to sleep without the whirr of the GPU fans now. It was pretty great when i was getting 8-10 dollars a day and heating the room during winter, for clicking a button. I mean it would’ve been almost fiscally irresponsible not to, I had the gaming machine for it (and the advanced technical knowledge to install an application on windows and use the internet) I tried the miner yesterday and it’s just sad memories. It was like 2-3 dollars a day BEFORE power, for two cards. I’ve got solar, but I believe such a low amount won’t even cover the wear on components. Most miners have got to be quitting, unless they’re big believers. And yet... Absolutely no regrets on the funny money year of 2017. My 1080ti cards paid for themselves, they’re working just fine, I got the money out in filthy fiat with a lil profit, and still have a bit of bitcoin and other assorted dumb cryptos in case it comes back up. If another summer of Crypto ever happens I’ll gladly turn on my machine and even buy new cards for it. I’m a gamer, so these aren’t going to waste(ok, using them for games is technically a huge waste but you get my point, you don’t have to be an rear end in a top hat about my hobbies)
