and yes, I dont think a 4X fold in the next year would be unheard of

yeah around £6.50 a day

AppleMiner · · #52401

maybe 3X...look for 30K next year on BTC?

AppleMiner · · #52402

so 200L a month...how much were the 5 video cards?

AppleMiner · · #52403

200L each?

AppleMiner · · #52404

when I was computing it, GPU rigs took a bit longer to get ROI, but they had a resale down the road, the ASICs made ROI in half the time, but have 0 resell once used up.

AppleMiner · · #52405

so its a case by case comparison

djliss · · #52406

i have 4 x 1070’s, 3 were free off my supplier, i paid £380 for 1 and my 1080 cost me £500, rest of the kit (mainboard etc i either had or begged borrowed or stole from work) so the way i look at it is my gpu’s pay for electricity with about £3 proffit a day and all my antminer and gridseeds is pure proffit

AppleMiner · · #52407

free equipment always the way to go

AppleMiner · · #52408

was looking at for those that have to BUY the parts and put a rig together if its worthwhile really

AppleMiner · · #52409

so roughly L400 a card?

AppleMiner · · #52410

if you had 5 1070s

djliss · · #52411

about that yeah

AppleMiner · · #52412

and at l200 a month, would take 10 months to catch ROI

djliss · · #52413

could probably get the ti version for 400

AppleMiner · · #52414

so maybe 9 months to ROI

djliss · · #52415

or just over and they can do an extra 50 sol/s each

AppleMiner · · #52416

could get a L3+ for 3K and prolly still hit that same mark, but the GPUs can resell in a year or 2

AppleMiner · · #52417

but if only paid 1500 for a L3+....could get that in 4 months?

djliss · · #52418

thats the idea, resell while they still have a decent value

AppleMiner · · #52419

did you see the pics i added on the post of my first GPu setups DJ?

AppleMiner · · #52420

was looking for the rigs and had to upload them somewhere to host them first

AppleMiner · · #52421

and you had logged off

AppleMiner · · #52422

2nd forum from the bottom general discussions

djliss · · #52423

no mate, since the 12th i have made £450 on all my rigs with 100 electricity costs so 300 proffit

AppleMiner · · #52424

the GPU rigs or all together?

AppleMiner · · #52425

here check this one: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2412&start=10

djliss · · #52426

nice setup, gpu, antminer and 3 gridseed blades

AppleMiner · · #52427

is there a better GPU rig coin other than eth to mine with a better payout?

djliss · · #52428

a few cards there lol, so you have a bit of equipment lol

AppleMiner · · #52429

that's what I was basing the earnings on when i was doing the calcs the last time i evaluated asic vs gpus for next miner setups

AppleMiner · · #52430

that was 2014 sir.

AppleMiner · · #52431

i ran them all for a year, sold it all off

djliss · · #52432

i mine zcash, i tried zen for 24 hours and switched back to zcash, a little more proffit and easy to shapeshift in my wallet

AppleMiner · · #52433

didnt really have any profit, wasnt until this year when i sold those coins I made the profit on the whole affair

AppleMiner · · #52434

so was 3 years of being in the hole from mining, i think it was dash.

djliss · · #52435

the best things come to those that wait lol

djliss · · #52436

i’m £1700 off roi for everything at the moment, got £1960 back for my antminer so only paid £700 for it!!

djliss · · #52437

i’m also using all my spare cpu power on my machines to mine btcz not worth anything at the mo but hoping it rises to 1-2c $1 would be nice lol i have 7500 of em at the mo lol

djliss · · #52438

i think i have shown you a pic of my heath robinson rig lol

djliss · · #52439

if i get anymore free gpu’s i’ll build another rig

AppleMiner · · #52440

yeah

AppleMiner · · #52441

go post up a pic on that post

AppleMiner · · #52442

id like to see how other peoples rigs are setup, to see if someone found a way to do something i didnt think of before

AppleMiner · · #52443

can that mobo take more than 5 GPUs?

AppleMiner · · #52444

did you have them plugged in directly or using powered riser cards?

AppleMiner · · #52445

i was pissed I had mobos with 7 slots and i had enough risers to use them all, but the mobo could only access up to 6, so I had to get a 3rd setup and 4 more cards to run it over

djliss · · #52446

gutted lol, just put pics up, the pc on top of the server isn’t there anymore, was before i got all my cards and a breakout for my server psu

djliss · · #52447

that could have been down to the last full size slot speed in the bios

djliss · · #52448

had to cut the pcie lanes down to 4x from 8x on last 16x slot to get all 5 working

djliss · · #52449

and 5 is the max, its an asus p8z77-v (an 1155 board) so a 4-5 year old board i found at work with an i7 in

AppleMiner · · #52450

i ended up pluggined the card directly into the x16 slots

AppleMiner · · #52451

and then used the risers on the others

AppleMiner · · #52452

thats funny i think i just sold one of those boards last week

AppleMiner · · #52453

i had 3 of the msi gaming pro boards

AppleMiner · · #52454

im thinking those were 1155 and had not even i3 but celerons on them

djliss · · #52455

i had a lot of crashes until i ballanced the power properly, the atx psu is the same age, it was my gaming pc until i sold it to work 3 years ago, then the boss gave me the board and psu back, just left the ram and i7 in when i took it home lol

djliss · · #52456

i’ll buy an asrock btc pro if i get my hands on anymore cards and a proper rig frame

djliss · · #52457

would be nice if i could add pcie lanes to a rpi

AppleMiner · · #52458

https://www.element14.com/community/message/94891/l/how-can-i-have-pci-or-pci-express-on-raspberry-pi#94891

AppleMiner · · #52459

here. https://www.element14.com/community/mes ... y-pi#94891

AppleMiner · · #52460

try that dj

djliss · · #52461

hehe, i don’t think it would work well, the buss speeds of pcie are too high, even though mining is very little data passing i dont think it would start up the cards properly, plus i dbout there are arm drivers for nv cards

djliss · · #52462

mabe a low power atom board with a 1x pcie extender card would work though

djliss · · #52463

but for the price a 5 pcie board, chip and ram can be bought for around £170 and have plenty of server psu’s (’borrowed’ from work)

djliss · · #52464

or i might just buy another antminer from the jan batch (if there is one)

djliss · · #52465

god dam next batch is march, probably won’t be worth it then

djliss · · #52466

coin value starting to rise again

crika1 · · #52467

@djliss :  woowww that is interesting MARCH delivery

djliss · · #52468

just opened up on bitmain today, have a look $1586

crika1 · · #52469

yeah i seen now, i ordered a couple for the dec batch, maybe a good time to flog them off on ebay or amazon eheheh, ppl would be desperate to get their hands on them

jess_1 · · #52470

i think they are gonna launch a new piece

jess_1 · · #52471

in jan or feb

jess_1 · · #52472

thus the march date

crika1 · · #52473

yeah you could be right,

Aura89 · · #52474

I’m really getting tired of bitmain only accepting BCH as payment.

crika1 · · #52475

yeah gotta use shapeshift to transfer it hehehe

fallingcurtain · · #52476

Jaxx Wallet just got BCH update

fallingcurtain · · #52477

shapeshift built in

fallingcurtain · · #52478

Bitmain is loading BCH while its low.

mycide · · #52479

ltc network up to 1.5million in less then an hour. profits gonna go down, im expecting ltc to start moving towards 120 to fill the gab made. so far so good.

mycide · · #52480

gap*

fallingcurtain · · #52481

Shapeshift feature is pretty cool.

fallingcurtain · · #52482

simple, easy,gets the job done

still s9 is being shipped in Jan, so no reason for the L3+ to go from dec batch sold out to next batch being available in march hehehe

fallingcurtain · · #52489

Their holiday is an entire month

fallingcurtain · · #52490

Makes perfect sense. Plus they will be running those L3 units from now until then.

fallingcurtain · · #52491

I’m looking for the exact holiday dates now

fallingcurtain · · #52492

OK so holiday starts feb15th and goes up to March 15 depending on factory. Many close for one month

fallingcurtain · · #52493

Anyone have an S9 around here? I’m thinking about getting a couple but the power is so high. Feels like a good direction to go given the market buy I’m just guessing

AppleMiner · · #52494

until yesterday Id have looked into more L3+s

AppleMiner · · #52495

after 15% diff adjustment today, probably not now

crika1 · · #52496

you referring into 15% difficulty increase of litecoin?

ZiGen · · #52497

I am runnung 1xS9 ...~1200W... ~1.5 BCH cents - Bitcoin Cash - per day x $1500=~$20/day ...cost me ~$100 per month electricity

ZiGen · · #52498

like S3 back in 2013 with Bitcoin ... :D
