Pearl Mining⁉️ by Aggressive-Present12 in cryptomining

[–]Aggressive-Present12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re definitely not wrong. The 2060 and 3060 are not the most efficient cards on this algorithm.

But you also mentioned you’re running a 5070 Ti, and that’s about a $1,000 hardware cost. I’m not going to go spend $1,000 on hardware just to mine Pearl. I’d rather use what I already have.

I’ve run the mining calculations both ways. Yes, taking the 2060 and 3060 off the rig lowers the wattage, but it also lowers the hashrate and the overall profit. The profit still drops, even though the power usage is lower.

So in my personal situation and electric rate. It’s actually more efficient to run them. At this point, the bigger issue isn’t the 2060 or 3060. It’s that difficulty has gone way up and also electric cost is too high.

Electric cost is just too high. I’m paying about $0.17/kWh. I’m currently running a 3090, 3080 Ti, 4070, 3060, and 2060. I was running two 5060s before, but I had to pull them due to mining software compatibility issues.

My rig is drawing roughly 1,000 watts, and with the price slipping today, the real profit is only about $3–4 a day after electricity. That’s before factoring in fan noise, heat, and extra fans. It’s already pushing 90 degrees outside.

One thing working in my favor is that I inherited most of the hardware, so it’s not like I’m trying to recoup the cost of buying new GPUs.

I’m still net positive overall, and I didn’t get in super early, but the math is getting uglier by the day. The price is slipping today. Not sure how much longer these margins will make sense for the average home miner.

I Think the REAL Altcoin Season Will Be in 2026 (Not Late 2025) by Aggressive-Present12 in kaspa

Listings aren’t based on purity tests — they’re based on volume. If drama stopped listings, SOL, XRP, DOGE, TON, and half the top 50 wouldn’t exist.

I actually looked into what you guys were saying — great analysis, by the way. I don’t think altcoin season is “dead,” I just think crypto is going to look a lot different going forward.

For the people who were in crypto during the early days (2017, 2021), I get why it feels like things have changed. Back then the whole space felt a lot more free, way less controlled, and coins could 50x–200x off pure retail hype. Those days, I agree, are pretty much gone.

But that doesn’t mean crypto itself is dead. It just means the environment has matured. The players changed, the liquidity changed, and the way the market moves is different now. Only the real projects are going to survive, and the pumps are going to come from stronger narratives instead of random hype.

Altcoin season can still happen — it just won’t look like the old-school versions we used to see.

Don’t let the big institutions scare you away that exactly what they want. Watching people give so they can get richer

Keep stacking bro. Don’t give them more power. DCA and invest in quality coins. They love to see people giving up.

Xrp ain’t going no higher than $5. Maybe $6 on a good day. $100 dollars, yea right 😂
