Cryptocurrency Mining

BTW, My assumption in shipping from China and the reason the D3 is only shipping in November is because they need to fill containers? I assume the units are available for purchase in China? Or are they waiting for investment to manufacture. Doesn't seem to be right ito time that they are raising capital to manufacture. But I'll find that out in the next day or so.

I'm pretty sure they are using them currently to mine for themselves while the difficulty level is low. Jihan Wu has done some questionable things in the past.
 
Anyone have issues with Jaxx wallet and delayed transactions through both sending and Shapeshift? For the 2nd time this week now I have a transactions which just sits there for hours with zero confirmations.
 
So what is everyone mining with their GPU's at the moment? Is there anything other than ETH or Nicehash that might be interesting?

Nanopool? Gtx cards mine Zcash. Don't know how profitable it is now versus etherium
 
So I updated to the new beta AMD driver's but now my RX 470s hashrate dropped to 4mhs . I did my adjustment in Afterburner. Anybody have suggestions?

Keep the bitcoin, don't buy a rig.

Sit on that coin, you won't regret it.

I had been sitting on the bitman site the entire weekend. 2 items in the cart ready to go. But Thor's this damn post was nagging me the entire time. Did a bit more research and every Reddit post about mining says the same thing.

In the end I decided not to buy and instead to the additional 10K in Ice3x and bought more BTC. I'm now up 3k ZAR since Friday. Also due to shapeshifting half of everything into Eth.

Some good advice for anyone else wanting to get into mining. If you can buy an ASIC when it's cutting edge and hasn't been mining for 3 months for Bitmain before you buy it, you're good to go, all other cases, buy and hold.

You were right Thor, thanks for the advice.
