This year I am no longer focusing on what gear to use.

But how to expand my cheap reliable power.

If the new focus is on surviving and counting on cheaper reliable power, what do you guys think about optimizing mining rigs with 19-GPU builds?

From what i've seen most are simply running 13-GPU rigs with pure or mixed AMD / NVIDIA GPUs but i believe true efficiency lies in maximizing the 19-GPU capable ASUS B250 mining expert motherboard. With 19 GPU builds you save on electricity by running less motherboards, CPUs, SSDs, etc.

Has anyone had any experience in using p106/p104 mining cards to build truly efficient 19-GPU rigs?

I did have my hands on a 16 card beast did a review but it had the p106 which is like the 1060 it is simply not that efficient.

the p102 is better but is costly

it is a modded 1080ti. I would have loved to have had the p102 that they were looking to build I may have kept it after the review.

Many coins that exist to mine where only good because they let you use a gpu.

I have a degree in accounting my wife has a 2x degree in economics and accounting.
We are both concerned that asics and fpga's will shrink coins from the current

https://coinmarketcap.com/

The problem with this thinking is that a huge portion of those listings on coinmarketcap are non-minable tokens. There is a lot of opportunity for coins to grow their market cap and thus pricing. I think we are all hoping there will be some market shake-out and coins or tokens that really have nothing to offer and will go away, but it seems like the list of new coins and tokens is exploding.

1000 plus I think 1593 to be exact.

That many coins create a lot of trading opportunities

How many of those 1500+ are mineable though?

more then 500 Maybe I will count them.

33 of the top 50 can not be mined.

If that hold true ⅓ can be mined so 500?

well of the top 100

76 can not be mined
24 can be mined

if that holds true then 360 or so of the 1593
