I just saw this thread and have been looking for a place to research mining (I have multiple computers with 1060's and electricity is included with my rent).

But first can anyone tell me what these are, if they have any use or any value to anyone? Got them in a box of computer parts. Hardware ID's just relate to some kind of controller board. Thanks for any info!

Thanks for thread, I just broke the very first rule in the OP which was buy a 1070 specifically for this. However I got it at MSRP after looking at ebay prices I figured, at worst, at the moment, id break even (even after shipping, PP fees, ebay fees, the works). Also I have a machine to plop it into. Also it will be running somewhere other than my home (so no power bills).

I guarantee the moment I get this card in my hands the entire market will crash. You may blame this directly on me when the day comes, I don't mind.

A week's worth of the computer's effort isn't the same as a week's worth of your own personal effort.


The only meaningful depreciation of computer hardware is when the next generation comes out. Everything else pales in comparison. Especially if it's still working when you flip it, in which case who cares how it was?

Basically this, you can get 1 year warranty from the manufacturer, and another year from a credit card which is essentially the useful life of the GPU. If it doesn't die in this time you can harvest like $200 out of the x70's depreciation.

BangersInMyKnickers posted:

Are you running AC? Because inflate your power bill by 50% immediately if you are FYI. Power draw on the card is not going to be what is pulled at the plug. You have other components that need to be powered so you likely have another 20-40W for an idle CPU, memory, and motherboard. Then another 10-20% overhead from losses in the power supply.

Who doesn't use a kill-a-watt and measure at the wall already? I can borrow them from my library.

what exactly has caused the steep drop in profits over the last week. I was doing over $6 a day on a 1070 and now its barely $3. Still way in the black but troubling. Im not seeing a major drop in value so is it just all the added miners fighting for new blocks and only that? If nicehash wasnt so easy to get started they wouldnt never be mining, but neither would I

Well I'm fuckin out of this dumb game. I created a wallet/account/whatever on coinbase, with nicehash set to deposit in the address given. Deposit showed on nicehash yesterday to that same address that was showing in coinbase (which I verified at least one other time as I had a second PC doing some mining part time). Didn't see the deposit anywhere on coinbase, decided to poke around the site further and saw that it's a completely different address now, so my deposit is sent to who knows where the gently caress.

Is there a preferred, objective site that documents major cryptocurrency scams? A friend is touching the poop, has done no research about the caveats and pitfalls of all cryptocurrency, and is surrounded by people that are all-in to cryptocurrency trading themselves, so there's a poo poo ton of group think going on.

I'm personally not trying to influence the friend one way or another - I just want an objective source of information about all of the bad poo poo that has gone done with regards to cryptocurrency. They already know the (potential) upsides of cryptocurrency.

Mining profitability continues to steadily decline but the GPU shortage shows no signs of relenting, I wonder at what point people will decide to start cutting their losses and sell their hardware off, or at least stop buying up all of the stock.

As the difficulty increases, miners look to maintain their monthly income level. This usually means adding rigs of 6-7 gpus.
