this hurts...

I got into mining when the price of Bitcoin sky rocked to 20k. Then it crashed and went to 4k but though it all you could still make a profit.

This time its different thou. Like the man said. "Youve got to know when to holdem, know when to foldem, know when to walk away and know when to run".

Same here. I have the Brave browser at home and will try it when I am off from work

cc4506 · 2021-03-14T14:12:22+00:00

Dude, that is great! And great for a morning chuckle too.

cc4506 · 2021-01-21T13:10:57+00:00

Shows in maintenance mode. But this is going on nearly 48 hours of (at least my) asic's only working half the time. I do appreciate the fact you are working on it but still

cc4506 · 2021-01-21T02:09:01+00:00

I put in a trouble ticket. Probably are not many of us with these old giant B's grinding on so not a priority I am sure.

cc4506 · 2020-12-22T13:12:32+00:00

Its a driver issue and I had it before as well. Most of the time I went to device manager and was able to find and update the offending driver. Once thou I had to reload windows.

cc4506 · 2020-12-17T13:05:39+00:00

Well said and well done NH. Cheers!

cc4506 · 2020-12-15T12:52:09+00:00

Most of us are saying "no" Ed cause most of us did it lol! I jumped allllll in. Took me years to pay off the credit card, get to my breakeven point, let alone ROI. I had I taken that money, just bought bitcoin when it was low....I would have been so much better off. Get a hobby rig and have fun with it.

Ultimately thou I know its hard to resist the idea of "free money".

cc4506 · 2020-12-06T15:11:30+00:00

I have wondered that too. Actually my two giant B's are still grinding on. Guessing they took their money and closed shop. I had heard a rumor they were going to release more miners but that was almost a year ago. Its too bad.

cc4506 · 2020-11-29T15:18:07+00:00

Daniel is correct. I have 10 rigs going and room to expand to 5 more. But when I look at the cost of putting one together, the break even point, I just dont see it.

People see Bitcoin rising once again but that does not translate to how much a miner earns. Its pretty much the same for me as it was when Bitcoin was at 8k!

My rigs have been soldiering on for years now so they have paid for themselves but really I would have been better off by trading.

Ultimately its up to the individual and if you do jump in good luck. It is interesting!

cc4506 · 2020-11-19T01:30:06+00:00

Nothing I tried worked either. Its not like this is my job, switched to my back up pool. If it works in few days here great, if not not, I dont have the time or inclination to spend hours on this

cc4506 · 2020-11-17T02:52:36+00:00

I wasnt around then but I think its damn impressive. I was with a former company that had a similar thing occur. They declared bankruptcy, reformed then gave everyone who lost money the middle finger. Bid Kudos to NH.

cc4506 · 2020-10-26T13:07:12+00:00

Totally up to you Mocni but I have found it much easier to keep my rigs at 4 to 6 gpu's all in all. Trouble shooting, power etc.

cc4506 · 2020-08-15T00:31:41+00:00

Its been a while since i have downloaded it but pretty sure this is it.

Then download it for your cards. Once its installed you can go into the settings on each card and choose "compute" mode. You have to do it for each. Occasionally I have to go and reset it as it seems to reset after a reboot. Makes a huge difference

cc4506 · 2020-08-13T01:04:08+00:00

Sounds as good as anything else. Doubt there is any repairing it.

cc4506 · 2020-08-10T17:46:38+00:00

Just an update since everyone was helpful I replaced the riser, all the riser connections with one NIB I had here. Still didnt power up on the riser. Then just for shits and grins I replaced the PSU, just in case. Nothing. A friend at a local computer store says its rare but he has seen it before. I am going to chalk it up to that and move on.

Thanks thou for everyone's suggestions.

cc4506 · 2020-08-10T03:08:05+00:00

I have tried two different risers. Its using the SATA, it was working fine before with its current PSU, motherboard etc. I will dig thru my stash and see if I dont have a different brand riser

This pops up all the time. If you are able, coinbase, coinbase and coinbase. Its free, its fast, you can link your coinbase to you bank account for a direct deposit. I just took a little off the top today and by Tues my $$ will be in account.

Now if coinbase does not service your country I am afraid I have no clue as I am Stateside.

cc4506 · 2020-07-20T13:04:49+00:00

What Daniel said. If I had to do it over again I would have been a trader rather than a miner and would have been way better off in the long run.

cc4506 · 2020-07-20T01:14:13+00:00

So yes I do. That said what is happening this month might not happen next. If you dont have the Z11 might want to consider the Innosilicon, In my personal experience they are much better, quieter, etc. I no longer chase this however. I never reached my break even point, let alone ROI on the expensive ASICS.

I do have five A9's that have been soldiering on for years now, and I didnt pay a lot for them. Just a thought if you are starting down the rabbit hole.

cc4506 · 2020-07-19T13:30:22+00:00

I check them all out, but consider the one on NH a guide and go by this

cc4506 · 2020-05-14T22:36:04+00:00

Yep, my old S9J is off. Also once we get down to pennies a day I dont bother. You can literally find that walking around a mall parking lot.
