RE: Ethereum mining: DAG file grows, RX series hashrate decreasing

in #ethereum • 8 years ago

Thanks for replying :)

I'm pleased to know that's a fair speed for that card. I was trying to get something fair but not too expensive. Yes it's 4GB. What would you have picked if your budget was limited and you have Pci-e aux cables if needed?

Is it worth tinkering with it to try to get more speed? I'm not sure where to start with that of it is.

I wonder will price change because of difficulty change? I guess time will tell. I'm curious to see what happens closer to August. Will more move over from Bitcoin as a safe harbour...

    With a budget, I think I would have started with just 1 RX 470/570 cheap, and then when it has earned itselves back, I would have brought one more, but keep in mind of your price a kWh. Denmark which is where I live, charges $0.32~~ kWh. Very very expensive, but lately I have earned lots.
    PCI-aux? Not sure what you mean here, but I would go ahead and buy a PSU which can handle mining.

    I agree, I will hold my currencies and see what happens next, I mean, this is future. Ethereum just have to fix the ongoing lag because of ICOs.

    Investing in Bitcoin would be a good idea, as segwit2x soon will be deployed in the BTC blockchain, but remember to store your Bitcoins safely! On your PC/usb... Keeping your coins on exchanges is not a good idea - it could get hacked, etc.

    If I buy more GPU, I would go for NVIDIA cards, GTX 1060/1070 as they arent affected by the dropping hashrate.

    Thanks for replying :) I appreciate it. I keep little on the exchange after losing 4 Bitcoin to a rogue exchange in 2014ish.
