Re: Ethereum RedPanda EIP-1559 call

So, if price doubles from now until 1559 implementaion (which is not impossible), transactions might actually cost more than today?
Yes. If price doubles, fees (in USD) double. EIP-1559 isn't fixing this. Fees will stay the same but will be more predictable, and overspending will be stopped. But fees remain sky high...

I just add EU prices (Used my countrys most used shops and forums for info)

-1080ti = 450€ (Used)
-5700/xt = 400-500€ (Used)
-3060ti = 509€ / Can be order but no date for delivery (Used same price)
-3070 = 709€ / Long delivery, 829€ / Next day. (Used same price)
-3080 = 969€ / Can be order but no date for delivery (Used same price)
-6800 = 829€ / Can be order but no date for delivery,  949€ / Next day (Used same price)
-580 8GB = 200€ (Used), 260€ (NEW)

In my country these computer forums have rules that you cant ask for more than you paid. At least for the just released cards.
What country would that be?

I ordered an RTX 3060 Ti yesterday, only to have the shop call me and say it was a mistake and they don't actually have it.

Last week I saw a bunch of RTX 3060 Ti, at least 6 of them, with my own eyes in a shop but they refused to sell any since "they need them to assemble gaming configurations".

Most used card ads that are over a day or two old have already been sold and/or the prices no longer apply, but the sellers didn't bother to delete the ad.

So there's a long way between seeing a card listed online and actually getting it in your hands for the quoted price. The price for a used RX 5700 (XT) is €400 only if you manage to actually get the card in your hands for €400. Otherwise it's just random numbers on the internet.

I can find multiple RX 5700 XT used between 600 and 750 USD in Serbia.
You're looking at ads that are 1-2 weeks old. These cards were already sold and you can't buy them. My cards are available.

PM me when you actually get one in hand for $600-700 and I'll publicly admit I was wrong.

There was a grand total of one new RX 5700 XT available for sale in my country last week, Gigabyte, and it was priced at $1010. Now it's no longer available - someone bought it. I bought the exact same one from the same shop the week before for $758.

RX 5700 is EOL and you can't buy them anymore.

I'd be willing to go down to $850/$800 but that's it. Not a dollar less.

I'm winning 60-70% of the battles, you don't need anything extra to start grinding SLP.

Looking for 0.25 ETH (you pay the gas fee), and you can get your investment back in a month and a half by grinding. Plus a lot more if you manage to sell one of the Axies on in the Marketplace.

I'm selling two cards, I hope this is the right thread to post in.

Asus Rog Strix RX 5700 XT (Samsung memory) - $900 plus shipping
Asus Dual RX 5700 (Samsung memory) - $850 plus shipping

Both cards are less than a month old, and they're in my mining rig. I'm reluctantly selling as I'm upgrading to stronger cards and I need the PCI slots.

Only BTC or ETH payments accepted.

I'm shipping from Europe (Croatia) so take note that shipping will be expensive if you're far away. Before you pay I will go to the post office to ask what the shipping price to your country will be.

PM me to buy or to ask any questions, I likely won't be monitoring this thread.

on 30/01/2021, 08:18:32 UTC
rtx 3060 will release next month at 279$ 6gb 192bit do you guys think will achieve 45mhs
RTX 3060 Ti has memory bandwidth 448 GB/s while RTX 3060 will have 360 GB/s, for a 25% decrease.

I'm getting 64 MH/s on my 3060 Ti, and for 3060 we can expect a 25% decrease, to 48 MH/s. So yes you're right, it will have between 45 and 50 MH/s. I personally don't think it will be a good card for mining.

Re: Please guide me which GPU is best for mining Futureproof - Newbie
by
Cafa
on 30/01/2021, 08:10:44 UTC
The answer is simple. RTX 3060 Ti is currently the best card for mining, and is futureproof since it's an nVidia and can mine other coins, and the second-best is RTX 3070. Same hashrate/power as 3060 Ti but costs a bit more.

AMD's equivalent is RX 5700 (XT or non-XT, doesn't matter), but this card is EOL and is difficult to find. Plus it's an AMD so it's very difficult to set up properly. I own many AMD cards and I was finally able to breathe and have some free hours in my work day when I switched to nVidia. I had no idea they are so good and so easy to work with.

Selling my Axie Infinity account with 7 Axies
by
Cafa
on 06/01/2021, 15:42:33 UTC
If anyone is interested and knows how to play Axie Infinity better than me, I'm selling my account with
  • 7 Axies
  • 0.0918 ETH in my Metamask account
  • 1204 SLP (claimable on 8 Jan)

Here are my Axies. I have no idea what they're worth but at the very minimum each is worth 0.06 ETH. The two I bred (the first two on the list) are probably worth more.

SLP is worth 0.07 ETH, there's 0.09 ETH in the account. 0.06 ETH for each Axie is 0.42 ETH.

So, I want 0.55 ETH, you cover the gas fee and I transfer everything to you.

If you're not familiar with this game, it's a play-to-earn game in which you battle with your Axies and grind your way to SLP. You breed Axies and sell them. At the very least, with this account you can grind your way to profit. I am making $2.50 every day for 1 hour of playing.

PM me here or email me at enigma.info(at)yahoo.com. Looking for a quick sale.

Red Devil RX 5700 XT behaving oddly - what am I missing?
by
Cafa
on 18/12/2020, 13:08:25 UTC
One of my RX 5700 XT cards is behaving kind of strange, I can get it to 57 MH/s at 100 W, which is great, but it can't go higher without a serious increase in wattage (like 120-140 W).

The card is cool so that's not the problem.

When I undervolt it to 825 mV I'm getting those numbers at 1800 MHz mem clock and I can't increase the mem clock further without crashing.

When I increase the voltage to 850, 875, 900, 1000, with each setting I can reach higher mem clocks. All the way up to 1860 MHz (at 1000 mV), at which point I got 58.2 MH/s but for the price of 140W, which is no good.

I'm also noticing that sometimes with the increase of the mem clock I start getting a lower hashrate. For example, I get 57.0 MH/s at 1800 MHz but when I increase it to 1810 it goes down to 48 MH/s. I'd think it's thermal throttling but the temps are very low.

The only mods I did were the memory straps (copied 1550 to all upper values) and I changed the DRAM 12 timing to 6000. GPU clock is at 1400.

The card tends to produce invalid shares. I can get it to be stable, albeit not with the hashrate I want. I know for a fact RX 5700 XT should be able to go to 58-59 MH/s, this one should let me push it to 60 since the temps are really cool. It should be able to go there, but something is stopping it. This card doesn't like something I'm doing to it.

For reference, my four Asrock RX 5700 non-XT cards are running at 1870-1880 MHz for hashrates 58.5-58.8 MH/s without invalid shares.

What am I missing? Should I try a different BIOS type, maybe one with 1500 mem straps (mine are 1550)? Or are these straps too tight and I should copy 1800 straps to upper values, leaving 1500/1550 as is?

Re: PhoenixMiner 5.3b: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)

Friends, can anyone help me connect Phoenixminer to Sparkpool?

I'm connecting to eth-eu.sparkpool.com:3333 and that part is ok. But I don't know the syntax to use to connect my worker and attribute the mining profits to me.

My worker name is sp_workername

Should I add sp_workername.1234 or just the bare name? In the docs it says:

Config Address and RigID
Format: Sub-account/address+ / +rigID. For example: sp_workername.1234


Should I add my Ethereum wallet address anywhere, or just the worker name?

Full syntax please  Undecided

Ok, stable now at 57.0 MH/s, 120 W, 56 °C.

I was finally able to change the memory straps, had to use amdvbflash 3.04+ in order to be able to flash the BIOS. Other versions refused to flash the BIOS with changed straps.

I only had to decrease the memory clock a bit, from 1856 to 1852 MHz.

I reduced the voltage from 850 to 825 mV, wattage is down to 120 W. Temps are 52-54 C.

So, definitely not running hot.

Re: RX 5700 - Help with overclocking needed

Thanks guys.

I'm currently stable at 53.7 MH/s and 130W.

I used AMDVBFlash 2.9.3 to flash the latest XT BIOS version on TechPowerUp for my non-XT card (ASRock Challenger), ASRock.RX5700XT.8192.19026 from 2019-09-26.
Then I used Red BIOS Editor to reduce the voltage for both GPU and memory to 850 mV, and to copy both 1550 straps to upper memory clocks. The other XT BIOS version for my card has 1500 straps, not 1550, but I couldn't get that BIOS to work so I'm using this one. The 1550 straps didn't bring me any benefit whatsoever.
And then I used OverdriveNTool 0.2.9 to increase the memory clock to 1860, which is the highest stable value. Any higher than that and I start getting AMD Wattman resets to default values.

So, is this it? It seems I've reached the limit with this particular setup, as the only thing that influences the hashrate further is an increase to memory clock, which then gives me higher MH, 54.6 and up, but it crashes within 10 minutes. I could also reduce the voltage further probably, but at this point I'm looking to get a better hashrate as I see others went up to 55, even 58-59.

I'm not unhappy with 53.7 MH/s but there must be ways to go up further.

RX 5700 - Help with overclocking needed
by
Cafa
on 25/11/2020, 13:13:25 UTC
Hi guys.

I got 4 cards Asrock RX 5700 Challenger OC 8 GB and they start at around 50 MH/s on Ethash out of the box.

I'm on Windows. I loaded up the 5700 XT BIOS through MorePowerTool.
I'm using AMD Wattman to overclock. I've tried MSI Afterburner but it broke really easily. So it's Wattman for now as I'm trying to find correct values anyway. I can use something else later.

Without knowing what I'm doing, I got up to 51.8 MH/s (133 W) with these settings at Wattman and it's stable:
-12% power
1788 MHz VRAM
1610 MHz GPU
913 mV

I see people mentioning lower voltages, such as 800 mV, and lower GPU clocks such as 1300 MHz, and I know I should overclock the memory more. But when I go outside these values I quoted, it all breaks, Wattman resets itself to default values.

So what am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated, especially if someone is using the same Asrock RX 5700 cards and can show me the correct numbers. Thanks guys.

Is it as simple as making a Withdrawal of BNK from Spectrocoin account to BNK HitBTC address and then trading e.g. BNK/BTC on their platform?

I've noticed a new feature on Spectrocoin, instead of Buy/Sell we now have Send/Receive. So I guess I could send it to someone?

When I look at the Roadmap, which of the milestones is the precursor to allowing the sale of BNK tokens?

Those of us who wish to sell BNK tokens, are we waiting for "BNK tokens available on Spectrocoin", which is supposed to happen in Q2?

How much time are we looking at here? A month, two, three? More?
