I am getting all my RX480s to hard labor now to max my available power.

My sources in Shenzen shared with me that come November, we may see a sharp drop in hash due to 4GB cards going offline. This should give us enough time to get ready...

If ETH goes ballistic hopefully I can source enough OEM 5700XT on K35s from Shenzen, before the herd comes in.

Think I got myself a partner who will be able to help with liquidities. I'm considering waiting another 6 to 7 weeks to see if 3070 is a better choice than 5700 XT though. Hope I won't be too late to the party.  Embarrassed

Waiting for the 3070 is not a good idea.

You should consider doing 2 rigs

 one with 5700/5600/5500

and then one with 3070 later.

If you are USA based. You can be mining by Tuesday the  8th

buy 2 of these

that has you ready to do 2 rigs.

155+20+30+11 = 216 and you are ready for cards for rig 1 add 5 cards

1 in slot 1,3,5,7 and a short card in slot 8

easy peasy rig is running in under 35 minutes if you use 1 visiontek 5500 xt and 4 msi 5600 the 5  cards are about  1250

rig does around 188mh uses under 800 watts



then hold the gear for rig 2 and load up on the 3070.


This game is always about hedging.

Go all in on the amd = could be all wrong or all right
go all in on the Nvidia in 7 weeks =  could be all wrong or all right

go 50-50 amd now Nvidia later  = has to be part good. could be both good.
