I lost $8000k holding coins for the past 3 months.
$18k investing in mining rigs. The rigs still there so this might not be counted.
$7000k just last months on Robinhood due to the "trump" market/ bad decisions.
can't stop crying...like a baby.

DO YOU ACTUALLY OWN A MINER OR JUST DO SOME RESEARCH AND SHED YOUR OWN KNOWLEDGE ( NOT EXPERIENCE) ?
YOU ARE MINING COIN ( it is up or down), ROI MUCH DEPENDS ON HOW YOU ARE GONNA DO WITH THOSE COINS ( DONT LOOK AT THE USD).
IF YOU DONT BELIEVE, DO NOT MINE.

I don't believe ya. Course you could not say even where will be price of your coin tomorrow.
The only fair ROI estimate - is take current prices and imagine you sold all what mined today, decreased income by electricity costs and put remain in the box. From that box you will repay your capital investment. That's right. 60 MONTHES from now. It's a fair ROI NOW that helps you make the right choice.
That's it dude. Other will lead you to the poverty

I do have a day job that paid bills and mortgage. Some spare cash does nothing in my bank account so I put it in Robinhood to trade stocks.
Started investing in Crypto-mining Nov-2017 ( before GPUs crisis). I was able to grab 12 + 6 +5 +3 GTX 1060 6gb ( from Microcenter) at MSRP price + 3 GTX 1080 + 8 RX 580 8gb and 4gb... During Christmas, Nicehash miner showed an estimated income of $3000 and this estimation keeps dropping ever since. GPU price shy rocketing even when we mined fewer coins.
Should I sell it? NO. NOT YET.
Will BTC goes to zero? YES.
=> WORST SCENARIO: I SELL ALL MY GPUs 50% off on Ebay.
=> I DON'T CARE, I DON'T LOOK AT IT. LEARN HOW TO MAINTAIN THE RIGs, LINUX ( HIVEOS)... JUST KEEP ON MINING AND KEEP THE COINS SOON AS THE ELECTRIC BILLS PAID, MY HOUSE IS NOT BURNT DOWN.
Bottom line, controversial is good but shredding Negativity isn't cool.
I think I am late to the mining World but, is it still possible to still set-up a rig and still make profit?
Sure it is. But the ROI is much much longer.
Actually ya don't understand what are you talking about. Right now we can see levels of zero profitability for those guys who already have the farms and whose electricity is very chip.
Maybe if you're trying to mine with older gpu's. I don't mine with anything older than a 1070ti. Those are still profitable even at today's coin prices. I wouldn't buy any more of them even at msrp, but I'm not ready to sell them yet either.
May be. Let's estimate. 1070 and 1070ti are the best ones now.
They ' ll give you $0.5 profit per day on $0.06 kwt/h electricity from wall according what to mine coins.
That's it. It is a profit still i agree. But zero profitability is very near.
Ya can argue that there are some shitcoins with better perfomance. This hour or yesterday. May be. But it is not mining.
you crazy..... I earn over $1/day on a 1070 on a long standing algo.....
You must also take into account others' mining strategies may not be the same inside the box thinking that you are using.
if you can max out a 10KwH generator on petrol; you can definitely be profitable. Food for thought.
Yep it's near $1 per day (a bit less) if your electricity is free. I just checked it up. Otherwise it's a bullshit.
Sorry you got burnt on gpu's or started mining at a bad time. Whatever the case is, I'm doing just fine and still happy with sub-par daily profit that I NEVER take compared to 4 months ago. I wouldn't start building a mining farm with an unknown outlook at this time, but I certainly won't quit mining with what I have. If you're currently mining ... Sell at 10X or GTFO. Not sure how you expect anything in crypto to be a stready climb up all of the time. Otherwise, buy almost any top ten coin at a super discounted price right now and hold. Or if that scares you, join a fucking bowling league.
Of course i don't sell coins I mining right now. Even ETH
But this doesnot mean mining is still profitable.
Some said they got $1 per GPU in a day. I 'd said it more close to $0.5
We can speculate that rebond will come one day. That's perfect.
But mining can't be the only work for leaving. Course you can't now even sell this coins for electricity bills
Or pizza.It's a hobby again. Or some kind of investment.
That's the point

hello guys,
I have a problem with my rig
,i have tryed to install hive to a hdd drive but its not booting up 
.
i have 2 hdd drives 1 with win 10 and 1 with hive,win 10 is booting up just fine no problems but when i boot up hive(hdd win 10 disconect) it starts up the bios.
it has also has made 2 partitions on the drive 1 for the config file(email adres) and the other? hive???
i hope you guys understand me, english is not my native langauge and is a little bit rusty

hive???i hope you guys understand me, english is not my native langauge and is a little bit rusty
how did you create hiveos hdd? i guess your disk image corrupted. i tried "hdd raw copy tool" before with smooth. and you are right its 2 partition 1 partition is around 8mb for vpn and certificate files other is linux image. it can not accessible from windows caused by ext file system formatted.
yes i create it with hdd raw copy and it worked fine, i think
.but it wont boot up,i also tryed usb but it was the same problem.and when i connect the ssd it boots up just fine with win 10.
but is it normal to see nothing on the other partition? the first you can see the config txt file
Enable CSM in your BIOS. I had the same problem.
For anyone who is looking for a cheap ( and strong) Wifi adaptor that works right out of the box. Check this one out.

7 rigs total, 3 running HiveOS and 4 running Windows mining using Nicehash.
HiveOS is fast, stable, controlled using my web-browser.
- I ditched 1x ethOS mining rig ( paid $39 for the EthOS). EthOS is good but no WIFI supported is a huge disadvantage for me.
- Simplemining OS, still have money deposit in the account. Haven't touched for a while caused I had a problem with dwardpool payout and ETHwallet when I started mining.
- Can't wait to ditch Windows and using HiveOS for all of my mining rigs. Nicehash miners sometimes don't mine if I don't look at the machine??? lol.
Thank for making the best mining OS ever.
ps:
Don't know why but I have always encountered difficulty setting up a wallet. Is a potential problem using Nicehash wallet for everything?

running my ETH rig with HiveOS for 1 day. I am very impressed.
- WIFI support out of the box ( better than SM.OS)
- Nicehash wallet let me mine everything to Nicehash.
The thing is:
- No more windows related headache when I mine my mixed AMD RX 580 and NV 1060 6gb using Nicehash.
- My harsh rate showed on HiveOS is 125 MH/s.
- But Nicehash dashboard only show 100 Mh/s
Do you think Nicehash is cheating on miner???
Thank you guy for such an an awesome product.

Hello
EVGA DG-86 will be a nice case
But 4x 1080 with only 1000W will not be enough
I got 3x 1080ti (with AIO in a bequiet case) which need about 800W
The case get very hot too. Add some extra fans on the case
Hi, I love the EVGA DG-87 at my first sign (I haven't built and am not even interested in a PC for almost 10 years but the case is just amazing).EVGA DG-86 will be a nice case
But 4x 1080 with only 1000W will not be enough
I got 3x 1080ti (with AIO in a bequiet case) which need about 800W
The case get very hot too. Add some extra fans on the case
I am thinking about order a 1300W EVGA in case the 1000W can not handle the load so I really appreciate the confirmation from you.
May I ask:
- What is the "with AIO" ?
- Do you run Windows or SM OS on these rig?
Fun fact: It is winter now so I am thinking of running it instead of the heater. Lol.
Best,
I'll recommend you to include the amount of downtime for reasons such as electricity down, Internet loss, miners acting up leading to crashes. Many people who come all enthusiastic to get into mining forget to take this into account. I was one of them. Moreover, check for the stability of the miners that you're going to buy. I'll definitely say that the price is really good for the offer but do your research before buying them and ask if he can produce some invoice for the GPUs which will make your RMA process for any GPU a less hassle in the future.
Thank you very much guys and let me update on this as I will start building my 2 rigs this weekend:
@Rig 1 ( all parts arrived)~~~ $2300-$2500
- 6 RX 580
- Z170 + Celeron + 4gb DDR4 RAM.
- Mintcell PCI risers.
- HP 1200 W server ( + breaker board + adapter+ cable ) and 750 W EVGA G2===> haven't figured out how to properly combine this two, Voskcoin youtube video seems confusing.
- Wood/ Aluminum frame from Home Depot=> Haven't figured out how to build it.
- Will run SM OS through SanDisk 32 GB flash drive.=> Is there any wifi adapter that is compatible with this OS?
@Rig 2 ( parts arrived)~~~ $3000-$3300
- 4 GTX 1080 Hybrid ( from Newegg)=$600 x4= $2400 but I bought it when eBay offered 10% eBay bucks.
- Asrock OC + Pentium sky lake + 8gb ram . MB has four PCI-E so it saves me couple bucks on riser cards.
- 1000w Corsair HX1000i PSU=> I am not sure if this one can handle Quad SLI.
- 512 Sandisk SSD ( Windows) or 32 GB SM OS flash drive.
- EVGA DG-86 case for $150 from Neweggs.
I would love to hear and appreciate for any suggestion to make the most out of these rigs.
Best,
Rothco.
Ps: For the past weeks, I have been buying LTC and ETH from Coinbase, I already gained couple grands from recent breakout.
Re: [Mining OS] SimpleMining.net - Easy to use GPU MINING Operating System
Hi ,
I am new to the hobby. Might I ask:
1/ Any wifi adaptor/range extender with WAN/LAN that supports SM OS?
2/ I am gonna go out of state and be operating my 2 rigs at hometown for the first couple months, Will SM OS be an ideal choice for that.
Thank you very much and Happy Holiday,
Rothco

@Everyone
May I ask with my budget of $6500-$8000 (A half is profit from a bitcoin that I flipped 3 days ago). Which GPUs should I buy that will be good next 4-6 months? ( I can't expect to see further as coin market is going insane now)
E.g:
- RX 580 or GTX 1070 or GTX 1060 ?
- Asus 19 GPU or 13 GPU Asrock?
- 4gb or 8gb dual channel?
- Which Riser cards brand is good and reliable?
- Celeron CPU or an I5? I am a anti-Celeron.
Best,
Rothco.

Thank you very much Wacko. I kinda want to pull the trigger today but your opinion helps me I make up my mind : Will build my own rigs and keep all the boxes for to flip them later on in case these coins tank.
Bests,

Thats about 7 months ROI (using 36/day) which seems about right at the current going rate. I would test each rig before hand to ensure everything works. Depending on the internals you may be able to build your rig cheaper. Depends on what PSU, CPU, RAM that he is using. You may be better off piecing yours together and then building it yourself. Make sure you take into account the electric cost you are paying and update that in whattomine as well as ensuring you have enough power at home to plug all these in.
Thank you very much. I will look into it.
he used it for couple months:
RX 480 cards have been mostly out of stock for a long time now, so there's a chance that the rig was used for more than 2 months (that's of course if you don't know the guy personally and not sure whether he's telling the truth). You might also want to find out whether it's 1060/3 or 1060/6 cards (3 gb or 6 gb) and 480/4 or 480/8. If it's 1060/6 and 480/8 then it's not a bad deal, but if it's 1060/3 and 480/4.. well, it's still alright, but not that good.I believe RX 480s are almost 1 year old, aren't they?
EVGA GTX 1060/3 and Powercolor Red dragon RX480/4. Can you please elaborate on this " it's still alright, but not that good ?"
Do you think I can build a better system to mine Altcoin with $6500? I haven't built a computer for the past 10 years but I can do it easily.
Much appreciate,
Rothco.
I am considering buying 3 rigs (pre-configured) from a local guy for $6500, he used it for couple months:
- A= 6 x EVGA GTX 1060
- B= 8 x EVGA GTX 1070 ( not Ti)
- C= 6 x AMD radeon 480
Whattomine shows me a profit of $30-36 per day. Seems so good to be true. I am kinda new to this so I would appreciate any input before pulling the trigger.
Thank you very much,
Rothco m65.
