Hello folk,
Ethereum price is skyrocketing
. I decided to go back to mining using my old rig from 2017
Surprisingly enough it still turns on!.. (after collecting dust for more than 2 years)
I have 2x RX470 4gb modded cards running on Windows 7 (with 4gb RAM) . Today I tried running the old dusty rig and this is the list of problems I found:
-Claymore miner is not working anymore ("cannot set epoch" error... I've already searched for this error and I will fix
it by replacing with another miner)
-One card is not recognized by Windows 7 (maybe it is only a problem of some cable connection, I will check it better in the next days)
Wht miner do you suggest to use? Do you think it is still profitable to use 4gb RX 470 cards in 2021?
Thanks for your help!
Will soon give some updates!

I am really sorry to hear you switched off your miner 3 years ago. I have kept mine running non-stop since 2017, thinking that ETH price might one day go above $1000 once again. I have been hodling ETH since the previous bull run in 2017.
Recently, I sold all my Polaris 4GB cards when the hash rate dropped to 21MH/s or so. They were still profitable as per today's ETH price.
If I were you, I would sell them since mining alternatives with them are not too good right now. You could mine ETC or RVN, if you believe in a future for those coins.
If you want to mine ETH or ETC, then consider using Phoenixminer or Team Red miner as Claymore apparently is not maintained any more.
