Still mining as well but seriously contemplating turning most of it off. I have a variety but I only have 7 GPUs and they have been mining at a loss for a few months now. I want to have something to sit on in case there is a turn around in the markets but I'm very close to calling it on the GPUs. My S9's are also really marginal these days. They still make a decent amount per day but they have to be really close to dropping below the breakeven point right now in terms of cost to run. So I am contemplating turning those off as well. Have a few other asic miners that are still worth running for the time being but none of those have broken even for the purchase price yet either.

But on the other hand I have been mining for a number of years and my obsolete pile of gear has BFL, asicminer, gridseed, innosilicon, and bitmain stuff in it. So turning stuff off and piling it in the corner isn't an entirely new concept to me. Not replacing it with the latest and greatest kind of is new though, and right now I have zero plans to buy anything out there.

Yeah new m10 gear is about 2k once you add the trump tax to it.

So it does not pay to buy them.

I am still not sure if I will get a back bill for 500 usd on the one m10 I got either I beat the deadline by a day or I lost by a day. So far no bill for it.

Right now my 1920x threadripper is doing well on xmr v8. See how long that lasts.

Wait, isn't XMR v8 the one that started yesterday?

EDIT: Ha! Nevermind. I was thinking that threadripper was an asic for a second there. I had forgotten about the CPU.

Cryptonight V8 is a finicky beast if you can handle the extra power requirements for a GPU it can give you similar hashrates to the older V7 but you have to configure your intensity right or the card might crash the driver without additional power limit (on Polaris cards.)

Edit: What I meant to add was that a threadripper CPU has so much L3 cache that it can actually provide hashrates similar to a Vega64 card. Im not sure what the TDP on those CPU's are but its looking like CPU's might be the new power efficient way to mine crypto.
