Well, not 6 cards no. Just one. I first want to test the waters, so to speak. When I have a feel for this new fangled mining business I might consider spending more money on GPUs for mining purposes. I regard it as an experiment that pays for a new GPU that I can game with at the end of the year, if I happen to have time to do so.

Yeah the singles they have stock of... Well, they had earlier. Given the nature of this beast, anything is possible.

Try as I may, I cannot get Nicehash to pick up my AMD card. Anyone have any issues like this before?
I can use it when I mine outside of NH, but it would be nice to be able to add it to the pool of mining resources.

Did you not by chance disable it in settings?

Will set my sell just before that one hits :eek:
Tiny gain but a gain nonetheless... then jump back in after it bottoms.

Then it may be your anti-virus, it may pick up those files as viruses. Just list the directory as safe, or however it is done through your AV, and extract again.

Now that Gtx 1070s are sold out also, it is even worse.

I picked up 8x 1070 Gigabyte windforce editions for 362$ each on amazon. Including duties and priority shipping it worked out to 897$ (about R11400ishish) for 2 cards. Orders were limited to 2 per customer. Nothing a few family accounts couldn't solve though.

Pricing now has sky rocketed though. Amazon really had some amazing deals on 1070s the last 2 weeks.
