Are any of you mining anymore? Feels like it's just me.

Thinking about another 5x rig since roi at this point on many gpus is about 50 days.

Anon can you be kind and post a beginners parts list of things I'll need and whit OS to run it on that's most compatible with shitcoin mining?

Daily return?

>>2141860

Not mine, but I'm earning about $10/day currently with what I have. 5x1070 rig would increase that to $35/day

>>2141867
What are you mining exactly? I use my 980 gtx to mine 300 DGB daily, which right now translates into $4.56
I also heard that AMD GPUs are better for mining
>>
>>2141929
See >>2141909

I know I can be earning more, but managing multiple altcoins on an exchange is tiring. I just want to plug in, start it up and forget it.
>>
>>2141885
If want a simple solution, install NiceHash.
Their program automatically mines what's profitable and pays you directly in Bitcoin.
That way you don't have to worry about pools and exchanges.
>>
>>2141857
bump for this anon, as I would like to know as well. I have the creeping suspicion that people who say mining is no longer profitable just don't want competition. We are still at the beginning of crypto, after all.

What gpu do you recomend?

Had the rx 470 in mind, it's like 250 bucks.
Also, do you mine based on current profit or future potential?
>>
>>2144421
$250 seems really high for 470/570. It should be under $200. I got some of mine in the $170-$180 price range.
>current profit or future potential
Both really. ETH is definitely still worth mining. I'm thinking of mining ZEN when it's released.

What's the input and output for a mining rig? 5 1070s alone are, what, 2 grand?

Is it worth it to build a rig with expansion room for more cards down the line? Maybe when the rig pays itself off initially.

I'm using whatever mobos I could get my hands on for cheap pretty much. The one that I bought specifically for this is Asrock H81 Pro BTC because it supports up to 6 graphics cards. However it has prev gen LGA1150 socket if you care.. RX5XX series are still a little problematic when it comes to mining if you are thinking of modding, just a heads up.
>>
>>2144699
Really? Do they not overclock easily with Trixx? Thanks for the mobo series man. I'll probably get the cheapest I can find I was looking at a board that'll run an Athalon or something dirt cheap cause it only needs windows and nice hash. I really like your woods setup as there's no metal to worry about. I'm basing my guess on benchmarks but how much better do you find the 580 to your 470's?
>>
>>2144742
I'm not by any means an expert in modding GPUs and mining in general but so far I've had stability issues with the 570/580s. Every once in a while the rig would just hang randomly and freeze when mining ethhash. Currently mining equihash and seems stable so I wonder if it's something to do with the current AMD drivers. Also I haven't been able to run RX4XX together with RX5XX on the same mobo for whatever reason.
>>
>>2144742
>how much better do you find the 580 to your 470's
I would say about 10-15% difference
>>
>>2141838
What are those USBs for? do they connect the graphics cards?

How does one power supply handle 5 graphics cards?
How do those people do it without any motherboards?
>>
>>2141838
probably not worth it with gpus but with how fast crypto is appreciating in value I would say so
>>
>>2144964
>What are those USBs for? do they connect the graphics cards?
These a called riser cards. They allow you to position your gpus to allow for optimal air circulation and also deliver external power so that all of those cards don't damage your mobo.
>How does one power supply handle 5 graphics cards?
A 1000 Watts PSU is sufficient for 5 cards.
>How do those people do it without any motherboards?
I don't think that's possible on a consumer level. You have to have a mobo for every max 6 cards.
>>
>>2144809
>Asrock H81 Pro BTC
this mobo is kill I'm trying to find another for not 300 dollars that just has 6 slots.

Thanks for the replies. I may just consider getting rx470's. On just nice hash I make like 3.60/day with one of them.

Thanks for also answering about the 6 max card limit. I've seen farm racks with like 30 gpus on them but they must have custom hardware.

Anyone seen something like this before. It's a 16 pci-express board. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some crzy compatability issues.
>>
>>2145113
If you decide to get into this and build a multi-gpu rig, don't expect smooth sailing :) Prepare to spend hours googling and reading forums before everything start working 100% stable.
I couldn't get one of my mobos to recognize more than 4 cards on ti no matter what I tried even though it has 5 PCIe slots. I've had DOA risers multiple times. Getting the right driver is also a bitch.
I use Afterburner to play around with custom clocks but Trixx works too.
>>
>>2145157
Those are PCI slots. It only has 2 PCIe which is what you need for gpus. :)
>>
>>2145178
I appreciate the insight. I might just run a 4 pci board since they're cheaper and more available at the moment. If I go with a setup like yours I wont need a case either. I'm spamming this thread but I need info. I wanted to finally ask. Is there any bottle necking with the <16x pci slots. And thanks for pointing that out. I'm not usually not computer retarded, I'm just excited this morning.
>>
>>2145218
No bottle necks that I'm aware of really. I use both current and previous gen mobos and there is no difference in performance that I've noticed.
>>
>>2145258
One final question. I'm trying to find some good quality risers that are not 60 bucks a pop. Any recommendations?

Welcomes! Nah I don't do that. I'm always happy to help people entering this space however I can. The more miners the better for the crypto ecosystem! We all profit that way. :D
>>
>>2145417
The best way to do it is by joining a pool of your choice. Every pool has a website that provides instructions on how to get your miner setup and pointed. During the setup process you will have to enter your wallet address so that the pool can pay you as you mine.
>>
>>2145442
Been lurking, wanted to thank you as well. I want to get into mining too. Gonna check out NiceHash. If the roi of 100ish days on a 480 is true than it's worth it in my book.
>>
>>2145517
I've never used NiceHash. I understand that you only get paid in BTC which I don't really like since most of the altcoins go up in value a lot more than BTC does over time but I hear is a lot easier to set up. GL to you as well.
>>
>>2145471
And you connect to this pool with the miner, correct?
>>
I budgeted arround 2k for a 4 gpu rig
Am I being delusional?
>>
>>2145584
Yes. The pool does exactly what the term suggests - it pools the hashing power of all participants and when a block is discovered the reward is distributed equally to all participants proportionate to the hashing power each of them is contributing to the pool.
>>
>>2143668
>sensiblechuckle.gif
>>
>>2145596
nah. The hardware I've accumulated over time since Sep of last year nets at 8k+ but I've pretty much quadrupled the investment by now.
>>
>>2145601
Is there a guide on the software aspects of this all once I put my rig together?

Are 4 470s enough of an initial input? If today goes my way I might make that off some stocks.
>>
>>2145640
can you post your build?

Alright then. I'll pass the buck when it comes to the next person. Thanks senpai.

I have a 390x and its mining is okay, tho it consumes a lot.
Can you advice me the best card to mine right now?
>>
>>2145677
Some people use GNU/Linux or ethOS to mine but I'm personally more comfortable with Windows so I use Win10. If you do some googling you will find some recommendations on what driver version to use depending on your gpu. Every pool's website has a list of mining programs to download and instructions to configure.
>>
>>2145713
the 290x and 390x fucking suck power. The 470-80 are good power vs efficiency. I want to get some 580 8gbs however.
>>
So I guess the catch with this is that you have to be mindful of the electricity costs, right?
>>
>>2145817
either you can go to whattomine.com or https://www.nicehash.com/?p=calc

both of these are a good way to kind of guage what you're looking at, else you need a volt meter.

Typically the 8GB versions have faster VRAM, that's the benefit. More VRAM doesn't benefit mining directly.
