No, other than 3D games it seemed to be running fine without doing anything, so I didn't bother.

But it says I'm getting 1.2 mBTC/day and the OP says a 1070 should be getting over 2 mBTC/day. That plus the previously mentioned Nicehash profitability table and it looked like something's wrong.



(This is actually better than it was before, I slightly overclocked the card since my first post.)

Post a screenshot of your mining stats like this. I want to see the algorithm breakdown, might wanna try rerunning the benchmark with high precision.

Never

Once you're in the Bitcoin game, you're in 4 lyfe, bithc

Specially since ETH is going to switch to Proof of Work/Proof of Stake hybrid and for some reason this is going to send the price TO THE MOOOOOOOOOON somehow

Good, I hope these idiots keep buying cards. At some point I'm gonna unload my mass of Pascal cards for a profit and then play minesweeper on integrated graphics until Volta (probably not even long at that point).

Your Equihash and Dagger Hashimoto seem unusually low for some reason, here's mine for comparison with two different 1070s.

Quick question, does it help to mine ALL algorithms in Nicehash, or should I just focus my GPUs on the ones with the most/best payouts? (Lbry and Lyra2 I think)

Nicehash will mine what is most profitable at the time so it makes more sense to enable all of the algorithms that you system can run.

I've noticed that the blake2s algorithm has started running more and more to the point where it replaced equihash as the most common algorithm my rigs run, it's interesting to see how the algorithm mix changes over time.

I guess now we're all mining NevaCoin and NetkoCoin whatever the gently caress those are.

Lots of posts on /r/nicehash or /r/ethermining about profitability and pulling out. Ebay/CL will be the place to time the crash and acquire hardware on the cheap if you were looking for some


Yeah I've been checking eBay multiple times daily trying to find the right time to sell. No sign of Nvidia card prices going down yet but I expect some movement soon.

I'm definitely not pulling out yet, I probably won't pull out until I see signs of Nvidia card value declining significantly.

What 1080 Ti do you have and is it using the default fan curve, have you adjusted the power limit or clocks on the card at all?

MaxxBot

I'm assuming that's probably 100% of TDP (250W) rather than 100W unless the power limit is way down.

It's a Zotac AMP Extreme 1080Ti, I didn't do any overclocking because I think it's already factory overclocked, I believe fan speed is set to auto.

The default fan curves on most cards are fairly conservative, I would adjust the fan curve until the temps stay below 80C so you can avoid any throttling.

The 4GB AMD cards are most likely to crash in price first since they will soon be pretty useless for mining Eth, that's why I sold mine off already a couple weeks back.

I still don't understand the crypto market fully, what would make the decline pause like this? Looking at the difficulty chart for ZCash it was steadily going up for a while but seems to have leveled off.

And of course I cashed out $200 worth of bitcoins immediately before this big rally :lol:

I've made over $700 from this poo poo so far so I can't really complain, probably close to $800 when I total up all of the card flipping profits and such. But I did spend like half of it on burritos, well worth it.

I think I mined on it for like 3 days lol, I sold it quick since I was worried about the 4GB VRAM and the Etherium DAG size. I had signature confirmation and the delivery was never actually confirmed and now they're claiming that it's defective.

Nah I do browse reddit but I've never actually posted a thread, I guess worst case scenario I can just take the card back and sell it again assuming the rear end in a top hat doesn't do something to the card. Part of the reason why I'm pissed is that they sat on this thing for like three weeks and never did the signature confirmation somehow.

I'm surprised that there's no JucheCoin or some other cryptocurrency made in the likeness of a third-world dictator, seems like they would love that poo poo. Even better would be to use that cryptocurrency as the official government currency.

Mining isn't worthless, it's that buying new hardware to mine is basically gambling because it's an unknown whether or not you're gonna get ROI. I've been mining on hardware I owned prior to the mining boom and I've made $800, in that case it's obviously worthwhile.

I also made a couple hundred flipping cards but I wouldn't try doing more of that at this point.

Down 500 dollars overnight.

The worst thing about bitcoins is making me click my 1080 profitability bookmark and check every day to see if it'll ever be back to 10 dollar a day levels. Even when it was 4,500 dollars people weren't paying anything for mining, only like 2 something.

There was a modest uptick on Nicehash, nothing huge but slightly better than before the rally started.
