Hah I just found some cheap 480s but they are the 4GB so I wanted to make sure I was using the best possible coin when doing my ROI calcs.

You can give ethash-lowmemory a shot. Just add the l=4 as one of the password parameters.

ETC offers better return with the hardware, DAG is under 4 GB

And based on the other calculator I found looks like it should be good there until 2025.

Looking at HR’s from various sources for the hardware will give you an idea but until they are running and clocked to what is stable for the card you dont know for sure. Try running ETC and then run ETH (low memory) and see what the final results are.

Oh absolutely, but this is what I base even buying the things on.

Either way if you got them cheap I am sure you will get return on the investment and be into profit on either coin

And this will be the first time trying AMD cards, I found the mining drivers that exist so we will see

It was part out of nescessity. as Nvida cards go for far more than the ROI timeframe I wanted. AMD seems to be much better at that.

Good luck, I would be interested in what kind of numbers you get as I am not up on AMD cards.

Things I’m finding say 30Mh/s I’m getting 3 of them (2 on their way 1 I am winning the bid on) but I’m not sure if that number is the mining drivers or the graphic drivers. HOpefully running a mixed rig doesn’t cause too many issues. But it likely will

you may need to update the bios on those cards to get the full performace, at least thats what I’m seeing pretty often on reddit

I had one of the early AMD reference RX480 cards that was advertised as 4gb. Turns out some of them actually had 8gb of memory on the card, but they shut half of it down instead of making a second model with fewer chips. After a BIOS mod I found somewhere I was able to unlock all 8 gigs. I’m still running that card today at about 27mh/s on ethash.

I mean if they turn out to be 8gb then yeah they will be put on eth.

gonna look for that bios

Just make sure to look for the chips on the card first before flashing the card. I hate flashing those things if it’s not necessary... I’ve never bricked one, but it’s always in the back of my mind as a possible outcome.

Oh yeah I know the whole deal. I recently updated a bios on a motherboard and it’s full pucker mode the whole time.

looks like I found a guide for it, so worse case I brick one and I’m out 200 bucks.

"Full pucker mode" is possibly the best way to describe the feeling you get while flashing a bios

hopefully the video card gods are good to you

My jira ticket is still waiting sadly

yay first test of my casemodded mining slave was a success, it’s alive! Now just the HDD and 1 fan is missing

I’m going to guess that they exported and saved whatever from jira before canning it.

I managed to brick my current motherboard whilst flashing it, the day i bought it. Luckily it has a thing where you can plug in just the power supply and flash it from a USB stick (using just the LEDs on the back as feedback) and I was able to re-flash it to an earlier version that worked.

woke up this morning to all my SATA ports being dead, or all of my HDD died overnight. I’m assuming the former.

Yeah confirmed. I had a brand new HDD and plugged her in... not detected on any SATA ports... Well new Mobo on Friday.

sry for your loss :/ but better than loosing ever data on those HDDs

yeesh eth mining is crapping the bed pricewise a lot lately

not much better than lowmem

I was testing an old 1050 ti

but 45 mh/s eth is still better than 60mh/s lowmem

1050 is up for grabs if anyone is interested

ETH is super low income now :O

looking at the price of the shiba token right now...man I should have invested more

I invested a bit when someone on here mentioned about making a bunch of money if it ever hit 1 cent

I’m also putting 5% of my earnings into it.

I had about $6 of it 3 days ago, that’s now worth $26

gotta admit, I never believed in that thing with that whole "dogekiller" etc. We will see where this is going, but right now I really cant complain

I just wonder why its skyrocketing all of the sudden

from 50 to 30 to 180

I just need it to hit a dollar and then you will never hear from me again.

found a nice island for the life after crypto?

Anybody else having connection issues?

@sonicrules :  Probably the release mentioned earlier

sonicrules wrote: Anybody else having connection issues?

yes, getting all the connection refuse error regardless of ethash, etchash or even randomx

ryguy wrote: @sonicrules :  Probably the release mentioned earlier

Yep

Thinks seem to be back to normal. All my miners are running fine now.

I soldall rvn btc ada and bought @ like 0000000000000703 all my eth rvn

00000703 lolol

some maintenance, huh

since my main miner is broke I decided to let my gaming PC rest for a few days. Mobo comes tomorrow. 1 new (used) vid card today, another tomorrow, and another next week. Gonna be a busy weekend.

Fun weekend of building stuff

Slight ethash happy hour?

more happy than before, thats for sure

Looks like Trex unlocked some more lhr’s....dual mining.

The gods of Ethash are with us today

I was gonna say... woke up and saw a way better share count than recently.

Looks like my motherboard and both of my GPUs will be showing up today... Maybe the afternoon I’ll develop some sort of "sickness" and take a half day of work.

Yep, the only cure is to get elbows deep installing and configuring new hardware

part of me is really wondering if I shouldn’t have went ahead and got the motherbaord that is made for mining but I’m just not quite ready for that yet.

I can also feel this sickness you are talking about, especially since there are still almost 4 hours of my shift left

Tezos doesn’t have a coinbase option when you put it as a payout option

Yea, I’m felling kinda woozy myself...ups should be delivering some meds to my house soon

dhandler01 wrote: Tezos doesn’t have a coinbase option when you put it as a payout option

A few of us submitted tickets on thsi so they are aware. It looks like they weren’t aware it was a coinbase coin. Tehy are working on stabilization things so as soon as they get to it it will be done.

should have called in sick for the afternoon...that half of the shift was one of the worse I’ve ever had...some customers are simply weird. Anyway, weekend! Yay

not talking about prohashing customers of course

I think the profit calculator for chia on the worker configurator is broken.

Anybody else not get their payouts for shiba inu today?

sonicrules wrote: Anybody else not get their payouts for shiba inu today?

Mine did not go to Coinbase but still shows in the available balance so I figured it would come at some point.

sonicrules wrote: Anybody else not get their payouts for shiba inu today?

I didn’t mine either

118.448 MH/s yesss finally broke the 100MH/s mark

Just plugged in a new EVGA 3080ti 70mh/s right oughta the box! i’m impressed lol 247w though, gotta work on that...

hehe gratz, how many souls you had to give for that?

lol well i bought a gaming pc, bricked the 6800 that was in it, and received the EVGA for the replacement!

I’d like to phone a friend lol

Dang you can’t delete this chit lol

the 3090 is 421 I’m trying to get my miner back up so I can not use the gaming GPU as much, but eth was doing well today and so I fired her up.

watch out for those mem temps though, repadding 3080 and 3090 seems to be a nessessaty and don’t touch "New Worlds" the game

actually new worlds fixed that issue. the title screen basically was so uncapped it would let the card generate thousands of frames per second in some cases.

and mem temps aren’t as low as I’d like but they arent overly high either

when you change settings the cap is gone for a few moments which seems to be enough to kill some more GPU

not as much as it used to, but still enough to give nvidia a nice sales boost

Try Chia mining. How long is the initial sync supposed to take?

At the current rate, it’ll be hours

The first one is a doozy. I left mine running overnight, and it was still going through part of the next day. But once the first one is done it’s not nearly as bad each next time you synch.

Anyone know t-rex commands? what am i missing?... t-rex.exe -a ethash -o stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3359 -u myname -p x -w rig0 pause
