Alot of miners are asking the exact same questions pretty much. They don't know if they should keep mining for $0.25 profit or just sell the GPUs or just turn them off temporarily.
The issue with selling them at the moment is they aren't in demand and prices on eBay are very low. I have seen some RX 470/570 GPUs going for as low as $80 USD on eBay without shipping.
You can keep mining but profits are very low, everyday you mine you might risk wearing out some GPU fan or just wearing out the GPU itself.
Hence why for some, its just worth it to just temporarily shut off their rigs and turn them on in the future when the profits are greater.
Exactly. The second hand market is pretty bad right now. I have almost 2 years warranty left on all of the cards. So wearing them out is not a problem.
Does anyone think that maybe i would get much more coins for the cash i would get if i sold the hole farm and bought coins instead.
I mean maybe i would never get as much coins from mining than to just by the coins directly with the cash from the hardware sale.
I will most likely just keep on mining but that was a tought.
Thanks for you input.
But what is the problem?
The Power cost should NOT be taken in to consideration.
If so there is no reason to stop mining. Unless you urgently need money.
Moreover prices of used GPU now is quite low so selling GPUs now also not the best idea
In my case power cost is the main that should be taken into account. But I found more cheap electricity placement and my rigs give me a profit.
No problem. I just ask what would you do in my situation.
I know the power cost is one of the most important things. But in this case, i dont want to take it into considiration
In my opinion you should keep mining. I would only undervolt cards if you have not done it. Since we are not talking about the costs of electricity, the more you should not stop mining.
Thanks. Yes the RX 580/570 cards are undervolt and flashed since day one. The GTX 1070 cards are at 100w power in simplemining (SMOS)
