Re: 8th Alt coin thread. Or what to do now that asics are all over the place.

I'm still not seeing any significant Craigslist entries for GPUs here - but given the "local" Cragslist includes Chelan and Douglas counties, I suspect the "locals" are mostly still mining profitably.
I DO see some "parting out rigs" listings for the Spokane area though - but not many of them.

ASIC listings are almost all for older rigs, like the S7, on the rare occasions they pop up at all.
The only D3 listing is my own, 20/20 hindsight I should have bought a Z9 Mini instead of that trio of D3s. but "at the time" it made sense as Zcash was still muttering about "change algorithm kill ASICs".

I'd take a newegg deal any day. I've ordered a bunch of stuff from them and had no problems.

Here's a deal for Sapphire RX 470 8GB for $109.99 (limit 10) and they are offering to include a free riser:
Card: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=1DW-0003-000D5

Can't tell from the pictures which version that is - but definitely ONE of the "miner specific" versions.
Some of the pictures are from the earlier "DVI only" others are from the "no vid connnector at all" version which has marginally better cooling.

Either way, great price on solid cards - the Riser is SATA only though so not really a help IMO.
