They continue mining because they believe that the price will go up in the future, and it does. Over 10 years, if you hold popular currencies, you make a profit. Functional to have sufficient code to mine many coins does not exist publicly. But in order for all these codes to perform, some coins need to accumulate the most hashrate, so that the rest have explosions of profitability due to a drop in difficulty. Most codes are based on it!!!

This card is used to make changes and tweaks to the operating system, as well as to optimize code. Generally now no currency is profitable, electricity is more expensive than profits. If profitability changes I will buy new cards, so I have no problem owning bitcoins since 2013 when I bought them very cheaply.....

I have made a special mining OS for polaris cards, as well as those supported by Driver 20.40.It has inside what you are asking to check the hashrate and mine the most profitable. Supports zergpool,zpool,nicehash. I currently have it in Zergpool with an RX470 8GB card with micron memory. He makes 10 cents a day approximately... for stats https://zergpool.com/wallet/43z8ZeAi54kQs4g8tUqxzp23THHzCsgZRL8WWEN8MFNpQpBNbhzsrKX5xJrtbFbwiKA5vcYHxk4zxfTPRk2TsWdoGrhKC1y
 But I can't make it available because I can't provide support. I'm not a professional and I don't have a support team.as I watch miningOS in general I see that it has a lot of work to do to support such software!it takes work every day. Also the code for Multialgo numbers about 3000 lines where it works with the operating system for hashrate, overclocking 5 in number and I do not want some well-wishers to copy them. All the work is done by the browser as it has a page but only with local access!!! If at some point I make a USB locked, maybe I will have it. Surely there are other software, and creators simply do not make them public for their own reasons.For now you can use Hive to mine popular coins.
I have a way to drop consumption on polaris cards but you need to know from bios editor.and I don't mean to just press the(one click)!! You will have to change the dynamic voltages that are next to the clocks!! if you are interested some, i can make a txt for what numbers to put...

nicehash is not a mining pool. is a hash market platform. when you join an algorithm you are essentially selling your hash to buyers who buy hash to mine coins with that algorithm in other mining pools.the prices are determined by the buyers and the average payment price has the standard, payment per share PPS -4% that nicehash keeps. in a few words the profit is the average price of the buyers -4%. it is better to go to another mining pool that does not have so many reservations.

the graphics card memory is not enough for rvn mining because the dag file size has increased.. windows 10 takes up a large part of the graphics memory. maybe you can still mine with linux for a while but it won't last enough for 4gb cards

I have made a linux operating system for amd cards with automatic change to the most profitable currency ethash, etchash, ubqhash in zerpool. precisely because a few minds have made such applications, the profitability is approximately similar to the most popular currencies. only those with high speed win at the expense of the rest unfortunately...

add EVRPROGPOW algo please!!!

unfortunately I can't guide you because I have been mining with nvidia for many years.

kawpow algo has high power consumption. hangs and restarts the system because it cannot provide enough power to the graphics cards. lower the clocks of the cards to 3/4 as well as the millivolt voltage.

to add my experience with polaris. if you don't edit the bios, no matter what voltage you put, it doesn't fall below a certain value. I don't know exactly what it is, but it's usually 937 mv. also the polaris do not separate the voltage between the gpu and the vram. whatever voltage you put in each will work with the biggest one you put in both, and if the voltage is not enough for it to work, the card will crash.
if it doesn't craση after lowering the mv, it means that it works with high voltages. Windows software cannot reduce temperatures and consumption unless the bios is changed. in hive os it shows the values ​​that the user has set and not the real ones that the card works on.

I have made a guide for polaris bios that can reduce consumption if anyone is interested. the card with lower clocks never gets stuck.

have you tried this bios ?

if the greedy don't close their decks and don't leave 2-3 cards at most, no coin is going to be profitable. ethereum is over and so is the party.

to do raven mining with polaris graphics cards, try my mod. after editing the bios of the card and writing exactly the numbers I have entered, then select the ocC settings. with this mod, the consumption will drop to 50 watts per card in the kawpow algorithm, and the temperature of the card will be close to 60-65 degrees. the hashrate will be a little above 13Mhs. I have also made an operating system for the polaris cards, but I am preparing a new version with multialgo on zergpool and I will upload it later.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZMJ7LENK5QTchnTLKzmKruas1PqLPvld?usp=sharing

new version rxos 3.4.3. in the next version the zergpool-party will be added. those miners who choose it will collaborate in a mining party. all polaris cards in a group.
https://github.com/smilodon76/RXOS-amdOS-zergpool

I have made an linux operating system for multialgo switch in zergpool miningpoolhub optimized for polaris gpus but it also works with rx vega and those supported by the driver 20.40. I added some algorithms in zergpool with wildrig-multi. who wants to can try it of. it takes 2-3 days of operation to draw safe conclusions

https://github.com/smilodon76/RXOS-amd-miningOS

new version with very realistic data earnings
https://github.com/smilodon76/RXOS-amd-miningOS

fix the problem
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
add this arguments on 'grub cmdline linux default     radeon.si_support=0 radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.cik_support=1 amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffff7fff
save and type sudo update-grub.
add rx5500xt to the first pci expres as default video out.

If this method does not work, I have implemented a mining os for amd cards. I can give it to you to try.

if you are mining with rx4xx 5xx cards in zergpool I have made an optimized operating system for these cards with algoswitch. whoever wants can try it.

hello
amd polaris gpu miners, I have made an operating system by changing the best mining algorithms in zergpool very light and easy to use. whoever wants can try it and tell me his opinion.
https://github.com/smilodon76/RXOS-AMD-miningOS

etc is older and better known to older miners. they have a large hashrate. I also mine the ergo with my own mining operating system and it really is quite efficient. I have not dealt with flux at the moment.
