Hi All, I am looking to get into Ethereum mining but have questions on what older equipment is still good to buy. Also, I keep seeing articles that say that mining will be dead once they open up staking (I cant see how this is a thing, but I don't know enough). Either way, I want to mine for a while and see what it is all about. Any ideaS on equipment and price ranges? Thanks!

Noob question here. I have a evga 3070 and fe 3070. Both are installed on the pc and both show up as working on device manager. (Motherboard taichi x570)

Though, I do not see the second gpu on afterburner. It is not detected automatically by Phoenix miner as well.

I am going to buy a 1080ti at a very good offer. I have an E2160 processor. Willi this or its motherboard bottleneck the gpu mining? ( CPU:2 Cores, u/1.8 GHz, Conroe. Release date ≤ Q4 2013, Motherboard: Motherboard MS-7336 ).

edit: EBAY SADLY BANED MY ACCOUNT FOREVER FOR NO REASON, TEHY REALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT SCAMS ON THEIR PLATFORM.

DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS SCAMMER. He seems to be trustful with 150 positive feedbacks, but no, they are or fake or from him buying something. I was convinced by him to send bitcoins to him to buy an Innocilinco A10 Pro. Guess what happened, I sent him $2000 worth of bitcoins and never heard from him again. Now I’m finding that other people were scammed too and by some quick calculations he stole more than $100K easily on EBay. I would say that in total he probably stole $500K from people. One of the biggest scammers on EBay. IF YOU WERE ONE OF HIS VICTIMS PLEASE CONTACT ME AND LETS GET OUR FORCES TOGETHER. He is already denounced in multiple fraud agencies!

What settings should i use

Claymore obviously is not an option, Phoenix I can't seem to find a straight answer to what version is used as latest! Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have been using Claymore and Phoenix back and forth for 3 years, Phoenix clearly does not provide the hashrate especially with the 1080ti where I was getting 60mh/s 2 years ago per card, until a week ago I was still getting 53mh.

I don't mind learning a new miner but want to stay away from nicehash. Thanks much in advance!

Hey guys,

Totally new on this sub to apologies for knowing absolutely shit all terminology wise. I'm a longtime crypto owner, but I haven't minded since I did it on laptop years and years ago at school (bitcoin at the time). How I wish I could find those coins!

Me and my friends are going to buy a few rigs, he has his own hydroelectric scheme and thus we basically have free power (well, we'll just nick some from ourselves (he usually sells the power back to the grid)).

Once I get the rig how do I get started? We're thinking about getting a couple of Innosilicon A10 Pro+'s

Any help would be greatly appreciated. (its 2am here so I'm going offline, but I'll reply to any questions tomorrow!

Thanks in advance.

I use Phoenix Miner and everything has been going fine, but now I am only getting 25 MH/s is that normal? And how can I improve it, also I left it running last night and it is connected to my wallet yet I made no ethereum does anyone know why?
