    non Taiwan link :) http://www.gigabyte.us/Motherboard/GA-B250-FinTech-rev-10#kf looks decent, especially then "mining mode enabled" in the BIOS

    40' shipping container as a mining shed?

    i'm in iowa so huge temp swings are "normal" for us too (-10 to over 100). i'll have to do some more research on the cold temps, i'm still trying to wrap my head around it..... even if the cards aren't affected by condensation issues they will still heat up the air inside the container so where...

    40' shipping container as a mining shed?

    first can i have your house/land please?!?!?!? :D that would be the dream, have an acreage out in the country with some animals for my kids to raise and a huge mining rig bringing in the money so we wouldn't have to work ;) how cold does it get where you are? sounds like that would work great...

    Why are GTX 970s worse than GTX 1060s for mining?

    i have a 970 and a 1060 in my mining rig. the 970 is terrible at ETH, best i was able to get was 8 or 9 mh/s. you have to jump through hoops to get the right driver and settings and mining program in order to get decent mining on eth out of a 970. but if you do that and you have any 10xx series...

    Ick nicehash down

    i ended up moving back to MPH for now, i decided i need to stop messing around and get my hardware paid off and then i can play with different options :) i had my 4 nvidia cards (2x1080, 1060 6gig, and 970) going to ahashpool for about 9 hours. according to the graph on their page i was getting...

    Ick nicehash down

    yeah i was noticing that too, there was one algo that was at $40/day for my cards and within 5 minutes it had dropped to $4/day and then back up to $27/day...... thats a little ridiculous.... too bad its so hard to compare one pool to another since things are always changing.

    Ick nicehash down

    thanks for the reply! i decided to go ahead and add ahashpool in along side MPH. i'll let it run for a week or so and see how it does. if nothing else i'll add some more BTC to my holdings and just miss a weeks payout of ETH to USD :) right now its showing ZCL on MPH as bringing in $25/day on my...

    Ick nicehash down

    based on your screenshot i'm assuming you are setup to hop between all of those pools based on which one is more profitable, if my assumption is correct have you found that hopping those pools has been more or less profitable for you? I only have a 5 GPU system that i've had going for about 2...

    Price Manipulation in the Bitcoin Ecosystem

    this is how i do it as well. pay for everything i possibly can on the credit card and then pay it off every month. I don't think i've ever not paid off the entire balance on a credit card in the past 13ish years of having them. Then i save up all the cash back stuff for the year and redeem it in...

    Mining Pool Hub - huge auto convert fees? or me misunderstanding?

    that stats page is unaffiliated with MPH, its something a MPH user put together. as far as i understand it those figures are in relation to the fees charged to transfer coins out of MPH to your external wallet. its supposed to help your efficiency so that you aren't transferring funds too...

    Considering a 4-6 GPU build

    it does but not on the free version, it will integrate with MSI afternburner but you need the $170 version or above to do it :/

    Considering a 4-6 GPU build

    good luck with your 1080's! i am also picking up 2x1080 today, found mine on facebook swap from 2 different parties, am getting them each for $450. while the 1070/1070ti may have better performance per watt at $450 i couldn't pass that up. They will help round out my rig thats currently running...

    Taxes on Cryptocurrency

    do you have to have a "business" setup in order to claim the business expenses? or can you just claim it as a home business without having to file anything to create an official business? i mined in 2017 for 2 months and didn't cash anything out until yesterday, so i have barely anything to...

    Taxes on Cryptocurrency

    so what would one have to do in order to claim mining hardware as a deduction on their taxes? i just started mining and only have 3 cards going at the moment bringing in about $200 per month.

    Ick nicehash down

    damn, i did the same :/ my lone AMD card basically just does eth+sia and monero. every once in awhile equihash. not even sure if it would ever switch to neoscrypt even if i could get it working.

    once you have that tax meeting it would be a great service and invaluable information if you could make a thread and share what you found! with my current mining i wasn't planning on reporting anything as i'm going to be at like $150 to $200 per month, so too little to report. but in this future...

    WIRP - Wife Income Replacement Plan

    thanks for the reply! the problem i ran into with going with less than 1080ti for cards was the quantity needed in order to hit the monthly income target. so even though a 570 has a quicker ROI and a better profit ratio i would need twice as many of them as i did 1080ti in order to bring in...

    did you ever get neoscrypt with sgminer and awesome miner working? i have a RX 480 in my rig and this is the only algo i can't get working either. every time i try and run it sgminer launches and then errors out with a windows closing the program error. running the diagnostics doesn't give me...

    thats one thing i need to do the math on, 6 GPU vs 8 GPU rigs. with 6 i can either get 1 large or 2 smallish PSUs to run the cards, but would need more overall rigs to make the total card # goal. 8 GPU rigs would need larger single (might not even be one large enough for 8) or dual large PSUs...

    thanks for the welcome and suggestions! on the motherboard, how are you getting 8 GPUs working on that board? Are you using one of those PCIE "Splitters"? Also do you think its a safe assumption that if you find a chipset thats verified to work with mining you would be "safe" getting any...

    What longshot coins are you sitting on? Here's mine

    this is my long hold coin. i'm fresh into crypto (2 months) but had researched prior to buying anything and found this one and really liked it. when i bought my initial BTC i used some of it to get 100 VTC and have also been mining it for the last month or so. while it hasn't "mooned" yet it has...

    Hi all! I've been around HF forever but lost my old account so I had to make a new one :( anyway, i've recently gotten into mining (about 2 months now) and have just been piecing a system together while i've been learning. Mining has also taken off the past few months where it could seriously be...
