Ethereum Network Hashrate is currently: 955 TH/s
Etherecum Classic Network Hashrate is currently: 27 TH/s

Currently with 30MH/s you make $1 per GPU per day with ETC. Prior to any power costs.

If all the 955 TH/s switches to ETC, then the hashrate will become ~ 982 TH/s. Which means the difficulty will go up 36x. So basically the profits go down 36 times.

So $1 per day becomes $0.027 per day before any power costs.

Now lets assume that only half the hashrate are GPUs since the ETH ASICs cannot mine ETC. So 955/2=477TH/s. So ETC Network hashrate will become 504TH/s.

So basically instead of $0.027 per day it will be $0.053 per day. You basically need $0.015 kwh power to make nothing. Nobody except maybe in Iraq got 1 cent power.

>ETH ASICs cannot mine ETC
Who the fuck told you that? Citation needed.

So listening and reading in on all the dev comments. It seems that unless there is some major bug discovered last minute, it seems the merge will happen in June 2022. Maybe July 2022.

The merge means finally end of POW mining for ETH and quite possibly for most GPUs out there in existence. GPU mining might be a thing of the past.

Everybody is saying. Oh there are other coins to mine. However they don’t realize that most of the mineable GPU coins out there, the miner reward is nowhere near that of ETH. And ETH mining was not only profitable due to its block reward, it was profitable most of the time due to its transaction fees. No other coin out there generated as much miner transaction fees as ETH.

I can see this being the end of the road for most GPUs in terms of mining. Most GPUs will go live a second life as a gamer or rendering GPU, not mining. Maybe 1-2% will go on and continue to mine ETC.

It’s great if you are a ETH holder. The merge will lower the issuance rate and increase the staking rate. So it’s good for ETH long term price.

So question is when will you start to sell your GPUs?

1) If you sell too early and the merge is delayed you might lose out on some profits.

2) If you sell a month before a confirmed block number is confirmed, you will miss out on one or two months profits but you will get top dollar for your gear.

3) If you wait until the block number is released or sell until the last block is mined you are going to compete with many other miners out there who are listing their GPUs on eBay, Kijiji, Facebook marketplace, Amazon, etc.

Yeah I had that GPU. It was slow but you can get it for almost nothing if you monitored the Craigslist listings all day. I think I bought one for like $50.

It was basically a low clock rate Radeon 270x pretty much. I think the regular 270x hashed at 450kh/s while the 7850 hashed at 375-400hs. However you can score them second hand for like $50 compared to paying $150-175 for a new r9 270x.

The king mining GPU back then was the r9 280x (290 was just released and not popular) and those suckers put out something like 700kh/s and burned 350 watts EACH.

I remember having 2 GPUs per PSU and each PSU was using 700watts. Crazy times. Even with all that power consumption they never really ran hot actually.

A miner could switch from one Prop pool to to another, to another based on block freshness and use PPLNS as a last resort when
nothing is fresh. Knowing N can determine how long a block is considered fresh enough for Prop.

I agree with most of that. Where I disagree is Prop is random, based only on blocks. PPLNS has a non random factor N
whose value is not publicly available. They both can be gamed just like any lottery, but in lotteries and Prop, all the variables
are known or available to all. In PPLNS N is only known to some.

That "rolling window of time" is regular as defined by N while block time is strictly random. That gives those who know the
value of N an advantage. You can still time your mining to maximize the values of your shares if you know N.
If N was public it would be fair.

 

It depends on what you mean by best. The intent of PPLNS is to discourage pool hopping and
reward long term mining. Whether it accomplisehes that is hard to say.

What I don't like about PPLNS is that they select which shares will be counted based on some algorithm.
Anyone who knows the details of the algorithm, specifically the value of N, can time their mining
sessions accordingly to gain an advantage.

PPS decouples the payout from the mining and pays a set amount for each share, like Nicehash does,
Prop is pure pooled mining where everyone gets a their fair share based on blocks found.

The next guy who didn´t read anything. THE MINER HAVE NOT ENOUGH SHARES FOR 17 HOURS OF MINING AND THIS HASHRATE. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT OR SHOULD I TRANSLATE IT FOR THAT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THIS? It is no magic to make an "programe" to inflate the hashrates.

PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID  

I guess they're really playing a good long game, since they keep generating new features and slowly fixing bugs, which based on your comments, I assume they're generating on purpose to be sneaky and underhanded about some GNU violation? 

Even if they did take open source code and modify it for commercial purposes, the software is better than any others out there and there are a lot worse things in this world to get upset about.  The worst is that they have incorporated an open source project and built out and around it, which is common practice. Even creating a closed-source project based on the modification of the core open source code is not exactly uncommon, and there are far more flagrant violators of the GNU agreement for you to gripe about; how about elastic search, they _IPO'd_ on modified open source software which wasn't shared with the community.

This miner is original work. The stratum code is written from scratch, and have low hits on the antivirus compared to the other miners out there.

The latest gminer:

The 11.5 build is faster, and early x-mas holiday now. So might not be buildt in a few days. The team is Tired. 10 months of hard work completed..

The JC board will not take that much power.  You can get a little more from water cooling but 200-300 watts will most likely end in tears or fire!

will your bits be available for FK33 also , if/when its out ? good to see that there is some development for sqrl stuff, since seems like they are gone permanently in all shapes and forms.

They will only tell they are producing it publicly if they plan to sell or market it as to sell on a set date, many produced asics in the past and kept for themselves for years till they decided to sell because they had something else better to let in their warehouse. Bitmain is known to do that, anyway, those practices are common known, not sure why you asked me to check semiconductor backlog, they ask for discretion here, when lots of money is involved and they dont want people to know then nobody will know about it. I said few months probably there are prototypes already.

Did he do it in phyon or shell script?

The repository you are linking from is from 2018.

I was in the team that made the first ethereum gpu miner. back in 2015. The Gateless Gate Sharp version seems to be a slightly modified version of the original kernel.

Its just to modify the higher straps with the 1500mhz strap. That's what most people do. However some people update the clock settings so they don't need to use an overclocking program like MSI afterburn on every start-up and update the voltage profiles so they don't have to use WattMan to undervolt on every start up.

So besides the straps for 1600Mhz+ and the core engine/memory clocks and voltage there isn't much to change. Changing anything else can damage the GPU and you shouldn't play around with random values. These days you don't need to modify even the straps, some miners do it for you on the fly. However those don't always work, like in my case so I had to mod the straps.
