Official Mining Thread

Pretty poor defense. It's a legitimate use case and some of their customers are applying them towards that application. Easy and cheap to fix. But for whatever reason they won't.

In my experience the Asus rog Strix was the only one that didn't need aftermarket work. KAC my gigabyte did however. Maybe yours is a.different version.

Hoping the next gen won't need work after spending thousands. I'm not holding my breath though.

So are you guys also thinking market goes even lower until around September? Then they start printing again before midterm elections and claim they conquered inflation?

I need cheaper Bitcoin and firesale alts
 
I mentioned that Gigabyte eagle had poor cooling on GDDR6X memory cards. Gigabyte gaming OC on 3070 didn’t need any aftermarket work.
 
I've only had one 3090 card (non Ti) which was a EVGA FTW3. That card ran memory in the high 80s and low 90s out of the box with just a 120mm fan dropped right onto the backplate.

We're in a period of high volatility right now in the general economy and I don't see it trending back up for a while. Possibly years. The volatility will be here while we continue to trend down. I suspect the crytpo markets will generally follow the same path. The timing of this is interesting too where we have the wheels about to fall off GPU mining completely and it hits an ice age due to the merge while valuations are also on a spiral down too. Perfect storm I guess.
 
I just hope nothing changes on ETH POS nonsense. Then I can continue to mine with these cards as they still pumping out decent money.
 
Unless they delay it further we have 2-3 months left to mine. Then we're done.

The difficulty bomb will be impacting sooner than that and will move block times up noticeably which is also not good.

August PoS coming. It's always delayed so I figure a few more months past August anyways. Apparently July 15th the difficulty bomb gets serious and who knows what the profitability will be. Very bad. Since all other alts are down any PoW coin won't be profitable. Only speculative mining thereafter.

I still think the fedz try something without luck for November midterms.

I'm waiting for alts to drop another 50%++ before I buy some
 
Even with the price collapsing right now, the merge closing in, and the difficulty bomb about to blow up we aren't seeing any real big dip in hash rate. Not sure exactly what that shows other than we're going to slam right into the merge at top speed with no foot on the brake. Nobody seems to want to give up until the absolute end.

The bomb is a wildcard though so we'll see. That might be a tipping point and there may be an exodus off the network when it starts to heavily impact.

Not sure what the fed can try before the midterms anyway and what would be the point? Inflation needs to be reigned in and there is no choice but to keep pushing the rates up until it gets back in check.
 
High gas prices. I see rate hikes even this year. Anything for midterm elections. Only thing worse than inflation is losing the election due to a recession. I won't be surprised if they even start the money printer brrrrr
 
I switched off the small pool I was mining at and over to ethermine. As we close in on the GPU mining ice age I didn't want to be exposed to wild swings in luck and went for a steady return for this last month or two.

It's a gamble. If I stayed on the smaller pool (crazypool) I could end up with a nice luck streak right towards the end or alternately a bad luck streak and get very little rewards. I don't trust my luck with these types of things so I'm going for the safer bet. :D

You're doing it the smart way. I just use nicehash due to laziness.

Got my Luna 2.0 drop. Sold that poop right away. Profit$
 
It’s not bad overclock. Every time they push an update on Nvidia geforce experience decides to look for update the hash rate falls to LHR locked one. Then if you try to start it again it gives a blue screen until you reboot. Sucks when you are not at home.
 
As if we needed fake government data to tell us that inflation is at a 40yr high. Everything tanking. I got dry powder ready to deploy in the upcoming months.
 
Tore down my AMD 6000 series aib rig today and put the cards up on feebay. I have one 6600xt not listed yet and am not sure what I'm doing with it. May keep it or sell it to a gamer if someone needs it.

Still have my AMD reference card rig on eth right now and my 3090ti. Once I get the first reg settled I'll look at selling my reference card rig. After that only going to mine with my one 3090ti until the end of the line.

Glad to see they kicked the difficulty bomb down the road but at this point the merge is looking more likely all the time.

Was fun while it lasted.
