Still Lurking and looking for a Great Timing, Not quiet sure if my 480's can still push and make some cents, checking on Price right now and seems its promising.

Difficulty is also starting to rise from Last months Low

Honestly I'm undecided to Sell my 480's or still fire them up

Its so depressing.

There are so many people just waiting to turn on their machines at the smallest upwards movement in price. This market has been flooded by people and I don't think it will ever be like the glory days.

Yep. Plenty of miners on the sidelines chasing scraps and ready to turn their machines back on if prices bounce up a little. I didn't cry about it though. I swung back harder. Shifted my operation from home mining to a colo mining with 3x cheaper rate than residential from 24 cents down to 8 cents. I installed some solar panels myself on my home so I can still mine a rig at home. Heck my solar panels have a faster ROI than my 20 series 2080 rtx cards and have much longer use 30 years.

People wasting all this money on gpus they should be investing in solar and learn how to install it themselves. But not everyone has the chops or skills for that and only a few will win and those that went solar will enjoy mining into the future and further lower their system ROI time. Any fomo idiot can buy gpus and try to mine hence we reached full market saturation. But not everyone has access to cheap power or knows how to install solar or wants to send their rigs to a mining colo to stay competitive. This what separates the boys from the men.

How much did you spend to mount you solar system?
I live in Brazil, we have a expensive electricity costs, I've been studying about solar system, but the cost is expesive to, maybe I can install and reduce the costs

www.wholesalesolar.com . They are in the united states in california. But you might find a wholesale solar company in your country. I would avoid those turn key solar solutions as they charge a lot. I had to ask myself. Do i want to build two gpu rigs and break even with electric after 3-4 years. Or do i want a solar system and break even in less than 4 years and have and can use my system for 30 years and save lots of money over the long term.

You can get some grid tie systems for pretty cheap. I got a 6.7kw system 20 panels of 335watts each for like 9k or 6k after tax credits. This will generate 900 kwatts a month. Enough to power my home and 1 gpu rig with 6x cards. Plus in united states you get a 30 percent tax credit on your system cost and install cost. But i recommend self install as you will learn a lot and its not that hard and you save money.

Getting power from the sun is a lot of fun. A LOT more fun than mining especially in the current state. Plus my location is not perfect for solar but good enough. Totally worth it IF you install yourself and get a big enough system

Thank you for all this info man, I'll do a better research about solar system and do the math
I live in a city known in Brazil as one of the hotest cities in country Grin

We have plenty solar rays here, and it's very hot

I updated my msg for more information that is helpful.

(They build you the proper layout planning with electrical diagrams after sending them a layout sketch for $275)(totally worth doing this, saves you time and having to pay extra to your city if they fail your first drafts plans) (also the electrical diagrams is very helpful to make sure your using big enough wires)
