Got mine running. I am impressed with the noise, VERY acceptable. It's the sound of a small level of a small desk fan. Now I just need to see if the heat is acceptable.
After 12m, miner is reporting avg hash rate of 8565 Gh. Nicehash is reporting an accepted rate of 10.2Th (!) reporting a payout of $6.3/day.
After 35m, miner reporting 8691 Gh, Nicehash reporting 9.5 but bouncing around.
Well what is the guess for BTC difficulty for the next year it takes to ROI...is it gonna be 'flat' due the the halving or nuts as usual..if it is flat you could do ok with a 1 year
ROI on this beast
comments anyone on above? Is that the plan for those getting an R4 (that and a hopeful price pump of BTC)....
id expect to see at least a 50% increase in hashrate over the span of the year, probably closer to 70-80% (assuming fairly stable price and no major changes in hardware prices). thats about 2-2.5% increase per difficulty period
considering the miner makes ~$5/day, minus ~$2/day if you pay ~$0.08usd/kwh, you're looking at an ROI of more than 18 months probably. if power is "free", more like 10-12 months.
