Is there any relationship between meowcoins.com and this project? I don't think so. That should be disclosed somewhere explicitly to prevent any confusion.

Sigh, if you are not informed on the project, and won't spend a few minutes to research, pleased DON'T comment. By that logic, mining on, or running a node on any blockchain would be subject to that. Are people running Helium Hotspots at risk for what's riding the IoT network? Are cellular compaines at risk for what conversations take place on the cell phones? What about distributed storage, and cloud solutions like SIA, Flux?

You likely won't receive the render files in unencrypted form, or have any knowledge what's being processed. Work will be distributed to multiple nodes in redundancy and no one node will have the entire set. Please stop making arbitrary assumptions, and do some research before responding.

Fuck off with your shill. He took the time to read the whitepaper. Having seen that project website, I would not have even bothered reading a single page. It's clear this is a shitcoin, and you are a shill.

Not entirely correct. GPU mining was supposed to die back in 2017 as some said but that did not come true. For the short term, it will have a significant impact on GPU mining profitability with all the hash power thrown around causing volatility. But it may ultimately settle down with a few coins, and if one blockchains has a strong/viable use case, we may have another ETH like run in our hands. Just don't go out investing in new GPUs at this time, but down shut down operations yet either.

RPM is a bad example. YT miners similar to him do not truly care about mining or operating a mining setup profitably once their YT revenue exceeds their mining revenue. He could pay top scalper prices for GPUs, and still make money in the end when YT revenue is considered. He is either supplied cards by someone like a fan who profits little on top, or outright purchases from scalpers. Either way it would not matter.

Forget the idiots who are waving a finger at you. You have not given us enough information to blame you with being unprepared, uninformed, etc. How did you buy the cards? Can you afford to keep them? Can you afford to keep them mining, pay the cost of electricity out of pocket for the sake of speculative mining? How much risk are you willing to take? If cost is not a factor for the GPUs or electricity, keep mining. Keep an eye out for undervalued currencies, and mine those instead of one that have guaranteed earnings but high difficulty rates. This is the time to be mining for those high reward outcomes. If you don't have the stomach though, yes, sell the cards and buy into a currency instead. You can then come back at a later date when your investment pays back to resume mining.

If only this coin had resisted ASICs back in the day! It would now be the next viable coin for GPU mining once ETH goes PoS. This coin has always lacked proper marketing, and that would have given it plenty exposure.

That's what I was afraid of. It was odd that it seemed localized to the t-rex install folders. I found no other indication of ransomware in the OS though. Following the "dism" cleanup/restorehealth steps from other people having run into the same issue fixed the problem.

All of a sudden, all my t-rex folders on Windows are unreadable. I can't open to modify bat files. Is there a reason for this?

I am sincerely beginning to think you are a half-baked AI of some sorts. Every post you make is near useless. They are either full of regurgitated phrases that don't make sense, or are non-answers. What the hell are you even talking about above! Wait, don't even bother answering.

People like you are dangerous, and mainly the reason why we stopped coming back to Bitcointalk. You attempt to talk with authority, yet I am confident you don't have the education, training, or expertise on how the markets move. Yes, there will eventually be a larger consolidation, you will call it cryptowinter or whatever the catchy name you decide to regurgitate at the time, yet it won't be tied to a single catastrophic event such as "Feds tapering", etc. No, the smart are not "now selling", nor they wait to "sell at top which is very close". No there is no limit to how long the "manipulators" can still hold the market hot. There is no regulation here, and they can play games as long as they want to for the time being.

You are not an expert. Stop calling people clueless, sheeps, idiots, or trolls simply because they don't argue with you. AND stop offering your useless demands as "insight". Offer your opinion like a human being and move on.

Are there all in one external water pump solutions that can handle more than one 3090 at a time? This would be about 10 or so Aorus Waterface 3090s. Or is it a better idea to convert them back to fan+heatsink configuration?

Bunch of kneejerk and unaware answers to a complex question. This has become the norm for BCT unfortunately. Not being associated with a GPU manufacturer, I can state at least two reasons why miners are not appreciated by GPU manufacturers. Manufacturers estimate a specific number of returns for repairs/refurbishment, etc of their retail version of GPUs. Use of retail GPUs in a mining setting ultimately increases demand for RMA support, and I am sure hurts their bottom line.

Miners create a shortage for cards, where retail users who buy the cards, then go out and buy games and other software help GPU manufacturer's business dealings with software vendors. There is a larger ecosystem and low supply of retail cards to actual retail users hurts that ecosystem. When Timmy can't buy his GPU to go out and play Warzone, he won't spend money on in-game purchases, he may ultimately stop buying games, or even quit gaming on the PC. Forward looking GPU manufacturers could easily see this, and would ultimately want to kick miners off the retail GPU purchase chain.

I am sad to say that it not going to work. You need to disassemble the card and upgrade the thermal pads between the backplate and the PCB, directly on top of the VRAM. At least, this has helped the greatest in my case.

Fans are not going to help much until you bring better thermal conductivity from the components to the backplate, meaning you need to upgrade the thermal pads. Then you can use M.2 active coolers directly on top of memory on the outside of the backplate, direct additional fans to them as well. This is obviously in addition to standard software level changes reducing power to the card, upping memory speed, etc.

Did something change with the latest nVidia drivers? Having changed the thermal pads and with additional cooling, I was previously getting 120MH/s with the 3090 with a PL of 80 and a curve starting from 1250MHz core. Now, I am having to up the memory +1000 to 10551 before I can reach 120MH/s. Anyone else recently had to change clock configurations to retain hash rates with 3090s?

Wow, this is incredible! I spent nearly 5 hours to do a Gelid Extreme GC replacement this evening, and (I hope it stays this way) TJunction temperatures are down from 110C to 84C on the Gigabye card I complained about originally. Fuck Gigabytye for using cheap thermal pads, and possible incorrect thickness pads.

Here is the download.

1. For the back of the card 3.0mm, and 2.0mm pads
2. For the front of the card 2.0mm and 1.0mm pads
3. For the die, MX-4 Arctic

With power limit set to 75%, card is no longer throttling down to below 900Mhz for the core, and memory is steady at 9501Mhz. And hashing at a consistent 107MH/s. Best of all, I no longer need to run the fans at 80%.

I now plan to install two active M2 heat pipes on the back of the card to cool the back VRAM even further.

Sounds like your Palit has better thermal pads in the back that transfer heat better to the backplate. F'ing Gigabyte must have gone cheap with the thermal pads. I tried to figure out the pad thickness online and I am finding it's 3.0mm yet Thermal Grizzly and Gelid are both out of stock for 3.0mm pads.

I just realized you were referring to the Gelid GC pads, and not the GP paste. How many did you need in total, and what thickness? I am sure it won't be the same as my Gigabyte Gaming OC 3090 but it would at least give me an idea.

How do you replace the thermal pads with Gelid? There is quite the gap back there to fill with paste. I think it's 1mm, or 2mm depending on where the pad is. Also, I am not sure if the problem VRAM are the ones on the back under the plate.
