Has anyone tried plugging a 64gb usb stick to use as vram? I'm not heading to my farm for 2 months and could ask my guy to plug in usb sticks, but not ssds. Hitting vram limitations on my 60gb ssd rigs.

anybody mining grin here? it seems 2080ti shines here with 1080ti as 1st runner up..

will GRIN pump to revive GPU mining?

Nope. Millions of 8gb polaris cards can jump on this coin if the farm owners upgrades the cpu/ssd. The profit is short lived, price already down 80% in a day. Kinda like zcash launch, the first few hours was amazing. First 3 days still decent, but quickly tapered off to the norm.

We need $400 eth + ProgPow to revive gpu mining.

yup, we need progpow on a huge cap coin like eth..just consider grin as another fuel added to the fire and they made a section (c31) for GRIN ASICs, for the mean time this can be mined only by 2080ti and possibly 1080ti "profitably" (i heard)..

i'm seeing a cycle here, like when HBM was unusable in mining and then they performed better in equihash then 1080ti's gddr5x was said to be useless, and they became the secret sauce in eth largement pill (good on other algos too), now the 2080ti on c31 so anybody who invested in 2080ti might ROI on GRIN's profitability--hopefully hehe

The ever hateful "Obelisk" group have announced an ASIC Grin miner. Doubt it will ship on time, but maybe they worked with the development team so who knows. I wouldn't buy any more GPUs based on Grin.
