Time to power up those crunchers for Folding

Hmm… apparently the left over bitcoin I have from a couple years ago is now worth £190 or so. Haven’t looked into it in detail yet, looking like casual mining is worth it again? Gotta see if I can dig out my old ethereum wallet also and see what was left in that.

I purged older GPUs end of last year though so don’t have much to hand, couple each of pascal and turing that is worth speaking of.

I think now to get power costs back you need at least at 20XX Nvidia or 5600xt upwards for mining. If it sticks within a few percent of these highs then who knows where it will go in the future!
I use ethermine.org and a 2070 laptop can get £4 in about 96 hours of mining at 30mh/s.

I’m nearing 1 billion Folding points now and once I have passed the number I think I will install NiceHash and try and make some extra cash

This looks like fun

What are you using? Nicehash?

personally, I’m using ethminer to mine into a pool on https://ethermine.org/

then once there is a payout amount in my wallet, I transfer it over to coinbase for trading

I did have a nicehash account for a while, but it kept doing odd things for me

Thanks DT, I am using NiceHash OS which seems pretty solid.

Using the 3080 in my main machine and 2x 3070’s in the mining rig with 2x 3070’s and a 3060ti inbound from NewEgg.

Electricity cost 0.032 US cents per kw/h here so mining can be pretty profitable.,

I wonder what that £190 worth is now worth?

£284 apparently. So ball park +50% since start of year. Oh, that doesn’t include some I have elsewhere since I restarted mining on one GPU. Maybe I should put a few more on? :smiley: At least, while it is still cold. Little more heating wouldn’t hurt.

I did find my Eth details earlier and that was… not worthless either, although not a huge amount either. Been too lazy to look at ways to convert and consolidate to BTC. Did set up Coinbase in the past but have no idea what my login details were.

I mine ETH using the Bitfly pool @ ethermine.org, which automatically dumps weekly into my BitStamp account.

Have just started mining a few Ravencoin, worthless at the moment ( 2p each ), this is a fairly new coin and i can use my old mining cards that have 4Gb ram to knock a few out. Going to run 1000 of these and then switch to Beam and do the same. May be worth something some day…

Sarge.

I’ve propped up the farm a little

1 x RTX 3080
5 x RTX 3070
1 x RTX 3060TI

Running +1300 on the mem and -500 core. All but the 3080 are using 140 watts or less.

Looks good for ~$50 a day, not too shabby

Maybe late to the party but I’m finally all in on Ethereum mining again. Just set up 5 GPUs from 1070 to 3070 for a current estimated 200MH/s, with potential to increase more when I get around to tinkering with ram settings. So far all I did is turn down power limit until just before it impacts hash rate. GPUs only that’s 600W. I can optimise systems too as currently they’re all in different systems.

My biggest problem now is that three of them are active gaming systems and I’m going to hate switching between the two states.

I use NHQM to manage my OC settings but set the miner on stopped. I then use TREX to mine to eu1.ethermine.org. As far as I can tell as soon as you exit TREX and NHQM the GPU settings go back to stock.

I don’t use Precision X1 or Afterburner.
