I guess it's a neutral thing I didn't wear my card's fans for weeks running Nicehash since the temperatures FINALLY went down around here. I'll wait again until you nice people can write a guide similar to the OP on what a lazy person with a single GPU should do.

She has a history of being at odds with reality, but in this case she’s apparently quoting some guy who talked to Ars. And whether that guy is also an idiot or Ars got him out of context, a statement that was probably intended to be “I’d current trends hold...” was misinterpreted as “current trends WILL hold”.

craig588 posted:I don't know AMD so well, but Nvidia DGAF about mining and kind of doesn't like it. Miners are buying gaming segment cards, but instead of gamers they're only buying cards based on a nebulous profitability rather than every generation to play new games. Depends on your definition of generation, but gamers don't have to buy every generation. Miners frequently will if the efficiency means enough. Paul MaudDib posted:Mostly they just need more 1070s Is TSMC even going to make more 1070s because I figured the ti was going to be a defacto replacement. It's basically a repurposed 1080 that didn't quite pass QC, in the same way that 1060 3GBs were chips that had one CUDA core fail and were repurposed instead of being thrown away. The 1070 was basically it's own unique manufacturing, so I figured it was effectively retired in manufacture and the plant would focus on making 1060, 1080, and ti fabs.

Risky Bisquick posted:If you want to mine casually with a 1070, just set your card to 65% TDP, 50% fan, +150core/+500mem in afterburner Thank you for this recipe. Mining along at a pretty good clip with temperatures staying around 40 and the fan noise isn't a problem since I remember when GPU fans used to run this loud all the time whether you used them or not. (It's also likely to be healthier for the fans than spinning them up and down all the time.) The only thing that annoys me is I'll be mining at something just over $4/day and then NiceHash will switch to CryptoNight and that drops it nearly a full dollar. Although now I'm suddenly onto something else and made up most of it.

I ran WinMiner and Nicehash for similar lengths of time. Roughly an hour. In NiceHash, I made 25 cents. In WinMiner, I apparently made a penny. Something about that seems wrong, since the estimates are lower but not 1/25th lower. Even though it's nice to dump the money dirctly into an Amazon gift card, it's simply not accumulating fast enough. I'll just have to mine NiceHash and hope I'll actually see the results someday.

Uh, what is a paper wallet? To the layman like me it sounds like you're getting physical manifestation of digital currency as proof of ownership and sticking it into a wallet from Wal-Mart. I mean the OP basically instructs you to use CoinBase and their iOS app was top of the store for like the past week so it's kind of hard to dismiss the vague smell of elitism in that post but I'll just go ahead and be the guy who asks and gets it out of the way.

Doesn't that require downloading your own copy of the ginormous blockchain file? I remember one GBS "why Bitcoin sucks" thread talked about how the thing wasn't going to scale as that file became freakin' enormous, and I just assume these sites existed to host and handle it for you.

So basically, decentralizing the gently caress out of everything. The Slackware Linux of mining. Got it.Risky Bisquick posted:I understand the OP dilutes the information required to the basics of push button to make fake money, but good god if you are going to invest, which I really don't want to call it that, in a fake internet currency you should have done even the slightly due diligence with regard to your actual money. The very first link from google https://www.coindesk.com/information/paper-wallet-tutorial/ explains some very basic concepts of what a blockchain wallet is (whether hardware or offline or online/exchange) and the association to a private key. Is it elitism, or aghast before blindly spending money on the currency of the future Sure. This thread is a combination of people who are sort of bemused spectators and the occasional person like you who, for whatever reason, decided to dive in and understand everything. There's a subculture here that not everyone's going to get. I'm not saying your attitude toward the fool and his money isn't warranted, it's just hard to interpret if you don't actually want to bank hard on this poo poo and know how that works, and instead just refer to fake money as burritos.

Nicehash consistently shows higher values, but don’t the transaction fees eat up that and more? I used it for a day and figured I wasted my time and should use Winminer instead.

The neat thing about being a person with one card you use to play games and maybe do this while you sleep, is that if you get scammed you don't really care because it was never very much money. I'll just trust them because I can afford to. I have very little skin in the game.

You can either let it run or turn off express benchmark and let it run through a lot of things every 24 hours. The latest update allowed setting your own hash values manually and adjusting the bias of the script to change coins for power users, but if you're power user-ing the butts you're doing it wrong.

So, for those who forgot, last summer I turned an RX470 into a 1070 by selling to a miner and going a month without a graphics card earlier this year. I.. uh, I'm feeling a strong compulsion to sell the 1070 I bought for $400 for $600 and just keep this going. God drat GPUs are weird.

Can you buy Gyft cards directly from a Nicehash wallet without having to do the Coinbase dance? I'd rather just mine to 1 mBTC so they'll put it in the wallet than have to mine to the 2mBTC that they want to transfer to Coinbase now. I got to about 0.3 before realizing this isn't healthy for my GPU, so it's sort of throwing good after bad but that's life.

DrDork posted:Also, purely as a practical exercise, between this thread and the GPU thread, you'd think you'd have at least a few people bitching about how mining burned out their cards / they bought a busted up used card or whatever if it was actually A Thing. But, AFAIK, there hasn't been anyone complaining about much past a dying fan. I had read a few stories searching for information where people described cards that had been used in mining as causing artifacts and graphical glitches and basically being useless. This happened to a friend with an HD4xx0 that he owned for four years and never mined with. I have better luck with GPUs in general but given that I couldn’t afford a second GPU at the price I paid let alone what they are now I got nervous.

QuarkJets posted:Is that just because you want entertainment or do you not believe that people are getting scammed over GPU purchases? There are scams, but the PayPal/EU consumer law thing is being vastly overstated in a thread where a lot of people sold GPUs successfully and nobody has been screwed over by that specific policy. Whereas, say, the 30-day eBay return policy actually has screwed sellers. It's understandable why people would assume with a cursory glance that it's the same thing but much longer, but eBay and PayPal have different policies and different qualifications and nobody has actually presented anything but FUD.

Phosphine posted:I was looking at getting in on the free burritos, but to be able to cash out from coinbase they want me to upload a picture of my id. Why, what, no? Buy a card from Gyft, which also accepts money on Coinbase. Don’t cash out. If a retailer you like isn’t on Gyft, see if their gift card is on Amazon, because you can buy an Amazon card from Gyft and with it buy a card from Amazon. All of this is not as cool as USD you can spend anywhere you want, but that’s why people are talking about collecting burritos and not money. Because converting it into “real money” means taking these operations as seriously as you would your banking. And nobody wants to do that.

Mr. Wynand posted:Are there any GPUs that are decent for gaming but poo poo for mining? Probably better asked in the GPU thread, but GeForce 980 keeps pace with the 1060 while also wasting more power and thus being the kind of card miners would not covet for running forever since higher electric bills harms profit.
