There's been some AirDrop on Twitter for a few days now, it has 2.7M posts. This is a crypto related AirDrop. Who knows anything about it? Isn't this a scam? Because some crypto projects are a scam. I would like a detailed explanation if possible.

Summary Greyscale a major bitcoin holder has now entered into the realm of ethereum Quotes My thoughts Ethereum will really begin to take off with such a major player stepping into the game. Also just to make sure this is on the up and up I do own BAT and MANA however this news story encompasses lots of other coins and will be a major catalyst for Ethereum adoption.

NVIDIA releases CMP lineup and reduces hashing rates on GeForce cards
Guest posted a topic in Tech News
Summary With the launch of the RTX 3060 approaching on Feb. 25, NVIDIA wants to deter crypto miners from purchasing up all of the new cards by introducing an entirely new lineup of processors, which they call "Cryptocurrency Mining Processors." They're also using their drivers to limit the hash rate when mining-type algorithms are being run on the new RTX card. This is in an effort to differentiate between their gaming series of cards and cards meant for miners. Quotes My thoughts I think this is a step in the right direction, but isn't going to do much to solve the scalping issues that have plagued previous 30-series launches. I'm not familiar with how locked down drivers are on these cards or how often this sort of thing happens, but it's possible that the mining community will develop their own drivers and buy up the GeForce cards anyway.

So I bought an RTX 2060 Ventus OC around the middle of 2020 and wanted to try Ethereum mining for fun and to test my OC abilities. I found that decreasing the core clock and increasing the mem clock allowed for some insane hashrates. I was getting 27 mh/s with stock settings. Then when moving up to +1300 mem and -502 core I got 33.5 mh/s. If I wanted to leave my rig mining overnight would it be safe to leave the clocks that high on the memory? Would it overheat?

Some of you may already be aware of the issue with the VRAM Temperatures on the RTX 3080 and 3090 GPUs (Especially the FEs). HWINFO64 now shows the GPU Memory Junction temp. While gaming, the temperature of the VRAM on these cards loves to hover around 90c-103c! According to Nvidia, this is within spec and "should be fine". Like almost everyone else and their dog, I have also been following the current crypto craze and began mining with my 3080 while not gaming to experiment and earn a bit of side cash. However, these high VRAM temps seem to be exacerbated when performing any VRAM intensive tasks (e.g. Rendering or Mining). I have observed temps of 106-108c while maintaining a MH/s of 99 and 75% PL on 80% Fan Speed. If the fans are turned down lower, the VRAM will redline at 110c and throttling begins. I engaged an Nvidia Customer Service rep via their live chat and asked if this behavior was normal and if operating these cards at this kind of temperature for 24/7 workloads would cause excessive harm (obviously using your GPU will shorten it's lifespan, but there's a difference between getting 3 years out of a card and getting 3 months). The customer service rep said that as long as the core clock temp was below 70, the card was working as expected the VRAM is within spec to go up to 110c. If it were to fail under these conditions within three years of purchase, it would qualify for an RMA. Now, weather or not Nvidia Customer Service is qualified to make statements like that, I'm not sure. Would any of you see an issue with allowing GDDR6x to sit at around 104-108c for 24/7. You would assume that operating your GPU underneath the throttle point would be fine, but it's hard to tell how hot these chips are actually supposed to get. Whats the community's take on this issue?2

So I recently decided that due to the state of Ethereum I'd try mining it for fun and maybe even make a little cash. I found that driving down the core clock and firing up the memory clock gave me some nice has rates. How high should I clock my memory? Will it get to hot? Will it hurt my system or GPU? Is there any other things I can do to maximize performance from my card without harming it? -
Wanting to build a gpu mining rig. I have like 700 for the rig (no gpus). I have 2 1080s already. I will also be using nicehash. Would prefer to be able to use up to 6 gpus. The cheaper the better. Thanks

Summary: Benchmarks and hashrates for the new RTX 3060 LHR (GA106-302, the one with the new SKU) are released on EXPreview.com [1], based on a model from ZOTAC released exclusively in China two weeks ago [2]. Upon first mining tests, it seems that the card would immediately start with a lower hash rate, unlike the original RTX 3060 which lowers its hash rate after running a period of time [3]. This supports the previous rumors that Nvidia would implement further changes to the limiter, possibly at hardware level instead of relying on software/drivers [4]. The new RTX 3060 performs around 20-22 MH/s at 119W (stock settings). There are apparently no differences in gaming and other synthetic performance. The upcoming RTX 3080 Ti mining performance has also been leaked. According to the claims, the card performs at 57-58 MH/s at 299W (stock settings), which indicates limitation to hashrate also in effect. Quotes My thoughts Hopefully whatever change Nvidia made implements some robust hardware-based mining limiter otherwise it would be vulnerable to the same exploits as their earlier oopsie. However, still no indications of changes to limit other mining algorithms. It is also unknown whether the new limitations in place could still be partially unlocked on linux [5], as miner devs have recently managed to somehow come up with workarounds that allow the original RTX 3060 to run at 75% hashrate on risers with no displays plugged in (older drivers only for now).

Hello Everyone Sorry for my bad English. i am new to mining stuff. i just started mining last month. i am facing some problems right now. hope i can get some solutions from here. i watched linus latest video on Nicehash Mining. and i am using nicehash miner (not using quickminer) i have a old gaming system with x5670 xeon @4.00 Ghz @1.34v, 16GB RAM, GTX 1060 6GB. so i was getting a pretty good hash rate with my GPU about 20 - 21 MH/s @80-83 Watts i thought i should use my cpu too for mining. and started doing that too .. now my cpu is also mining for about 0.30$ USD. But today i received my electricity bill which was about 14$ USD more then last month(when i wasn't mining). i don't mine 24/7.. i mostly mine 12 hours a day.. and my total gross income from mining is about 33$. now i don't think so it is that profitable. since i was expecting 5-8$ USD increment in my electricity bill.. now what i am thinking that i was using my overclocked xeon too for mining.. does it consume that much electricity? should i stop mining from my cpu? and disable overclock from my cpu when i am using my GPU to mine? since it might make my cpu use less electricity when it is idling? any advice will be great.

I want to invest in crypto for a long term basis. Any suggestions which would be better to invest in. I'm considering cardano, eth and btc. -
A mining farm has been spotted in the US with as many as 78 PNY GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards. In a world where it’s hard to find even a single gaming graphics card, this miner managed to buy almost a hundred of them: Nearly one hundred of NVIDIA’s almost fastest GPUs for a single person, and not even for gaming. Source 1: https://www.hardwaretimes.com/mining-farm-with-78-pny-geforce-rtx-3080s-spotted-capable-of-gen-128088-per-year/ Source 2: https://www.tweaktown.com/news/76979/this-78-geforce-rtx-3080-crypto-mining-rig-makes-128-000-per-year/index.html This is quite the exceptional operation; not just the annual accumulation of 128-thousand dollars per year, but the fact that the person was even able to snag 78 RTX 3080s to make it happen (that is in itself more impressive than the actual mining farm, to be honest). The question though, is how many of these are in the wild that have not been discovered or disclosed? Makes you wonder why stock or supply issues have been so apparent. This is only one mining farm we know of utilizing Ampere cards, imagine all the ones that possibly exist that we don't know about...

Summary Popular blockchains have a public ledger, meaning all transactions are public. E.g. you know when and for how much the first burger was bought for $APE at the BAYC themed store, and all transaction that person ever made with that address and all clients of the store. To solve the privacy problem introduced by blockchain technology, Mixers were introduced, that use smart contracts to pool together money in a big pot, and people use smart contracts to take money out of the pot and in a new "clean" address. Fraudsters also have the privacy problem, and used the system as one of many steps in their money laundering. For a mixer to work, legitimate transactions must be much bigger than fraudolent transactions. Following a long streak of high profle frauds and bankrupcies that affected pensions founds, the USA treasury has sanctioned Tornado Cash, a tool instrumental in laundering crypto procedings. Legal entities are quickly moving to comply with the sanctions, including github removing the code repo, the website going down, and Torando Cash wallet addresses being blacklisted by Circle. Update: first arrest linked to Tornado Cash USA Sanctions in the Netherlands Quotes My thoughts It was high time meaningful action was taken by regulators to protect consumers from blockchain, and this is likely just the beginning. Governments can no longer ignore crypto startups acting as de facto banks while offering none of the protections. I would like for blockchain tokens to have the same regulatory requirements as stocks (disclosures to prevent insider trading and wash trading. Taxation), for Exchanges to have the same regulatory requirement of banks (deposit insurance, KYC and AML) and brokers (regulate asset distribution in bankrupcy, book keeping and risk disclosure). I'm a strong advocate for privacy, like end-to-end encryption for chat applications, and I'm against inserting government backdoors to software. I think the abuse of privacy tools from the blockchain industry to facilitate money laundering just makes the battle for privacy harder and makes censorship harder to fight. I welcome strong measures against the fraudster friendly tools like Tornado Cash. Especially because the privacy problem of Ethereum and Bitcoin are self inflicted, and the solution to the self inflicted problem is a tool adored by fraudsters... In this forum I covered the news of the Axie Infinity hack a few months back. It was later discovered that the North Korean government and its Lazarus Group were behind the hack and used Tornado Cash as first step to launder the proceedings.

I mean he probably has like 200 graphics cards he could use to mine, also he works in a warehouse that probably has cheap power. He could probably make hundreds a day. -
http://deliddedtech.com/2017/05/28/bitcoincryptocurrency-craze-wipes-out-amd-gpu-supply/ Do you guys think this is good for AMD? They've had this happen before. While it certainly is helping short term sales, they aren't getting extra from the wholesalers/retailers that are charging more than MSRP. In addition, it could have negative effects in the long term due to large-scale offloading of used cards when this whole mining thing slows down, thus eventually encouraging users to pick up a used one for half price instead of buying new. In addition, gamers that are currently unable to get an AMD GPU at a reasonable price may go with NVIDIA, and get locked into proprietary hardware such as GSync monitors, thus discouraging them from upgrading to AMD in the future, thus hurting future sales. I personally have an RX 380 that I need to RMA, but I'm worried about if they'll even have any extras to replace it with since they're selling so quickly. -
Hello, I just got into bitcoin and I could use some advice from you guys... Well, is my GPU powerfull enough to mining? I've been mining Ethereum and the mining rate is 13MH/s @ 1100Mhz Core with Temp +- 56C° I've read that I can handle 18/20 MH/s or even more, but how?? Do I need to switch to a UNIX OS? OC my card ? It"s worth mining with my rig or I need something more powerfull? Machine specs: Phenom X4 820 @ 3.4Ghz 14GB DDR3 1600Mhz Asus M4A89GTD Pro USB 3.0 XFX TS 650W 80Plus Bronze Sapphire R9 280X Vapor-X OC Zalmann CSNP 9000 without socket mounting (was from my previous Q9550 Build lol)

So...I had been entertaining the idea of a mining rig for a while and I got 6 RX 580s at a very good price, but I got drunk one night and decided I wanted to try older hardware (I don't know either), and I bought 3 R9 Nanos, 1 R9 390, 1 R9 Fury and 1 R9 Fury X. Any problem running those 6 cards? They all have the same GPU except for the 390, but the deal is done (Drinking with ambien...SO F*UCKING WISE) and I wanted to ask if there could be a problem mixing them. Got no issues with the 580s, but I'm wondering on that mix I purchased while intoxicated (still at good prices surprisingly)

Hi! I just started to do a bit of minig with my gaming PC. I'm using Claymore and I'm mining ETH/ETC in a pool at Nanopool. I'm not locking to do a lot of money, I just want to get in the world of crypto. The problem is that everywhere I look, I see people getting 24-25 Mh/s out of the box with RX 580s, but I can barely get 21 Mh/s mining ETH and only 19 Mh/s mining ETC. I tried to overclock the memory speed with Afterburner, but no difference. Any idea why I have so low hash rate? I would like it to be around 24-25, so that I could make a little bit of money and eventualy buy another RX 580 to have a crossfire config and double my minig rate. As I said, I'm not locking to do a lot of money on this, so I don't want to play in the BIOS, because it's my gaming PC.... Tanks for your help! -
0down votefavorite I have a Gigabyte Gaming G1 R9 390 and it's over a year. Since I wanted to mine with it, I repasted with Arctic silver 5. The temps never go above 84c in gaming on max settings in battlefront 2015 or battlefield 1 on 1080p settings. however, while mining with nicehashminer, on daggerdecred it gets 28-29 MH hashrates but the concern is the temperature . it reaches 94c. With latest AMD drivers and clean windows 10, using msi afterburner, i reduced the power by 10% and it goes to 26 MH hashrates at 84c. reaching 94c on default settings is safe ? My case has very good airflow with 6 cooler master jetflos and xtraflos. with my rx 480 8gb, it gets upto 71c max. why would the 390 hit 94c ? do i need to change thermal pads ? or should I stick to -10% power @84c ? help me. Room temp is 32 degree celcius. Need expert opinions Please. TIA

Hey so just a disclaimer, I don't know much about this subject so please don't rip me to shreds if I sound dumb at any point! I was just wondering about the state of crypto-mining in general and if it will come back to its former glory ( I'm talking about the profitability when the ethereum craze started ). I've been looking for answers but really just want to have a clear and concise answer or discussion. Will it become very profitable again? Will it become not profitable at all? Could a new currency come in and start a ethereum craze like situation? Thanks, Chase -
So I have been mining with my 1060 and have around $100 USD in Ethereum. I want to try to sell it so I can buy some ddr4 ram, any suggestions on how I can sell it?

Hi, I was curious as to whether or not I could use all the pcie x1 slots on a Gigabyte ab350 gaming 3 board for mining? The intention would be to use risers, any idea whether or not it will support that quantity of gpus?
