    Are you planning on buying (or already bought) an AM4 Raven Ridge APU?

    Likely both the 2200 and 2400G. I've purchased at least one or two APU's from every generation except for the AM4 Bristol Ridge series as they were essentially filler until RR and being slower than Kaveri was a turn off. APU's always fascinated me from a "good enough computing" perspective but...

    How many dGPUs do you have mining?

    Many of us mining here at Anandtech forums are small fish. Yes we have a nice handful of cards that were bought from places like NewEgg or Amazon, but really, anyone with less than 100 cards is essentially a small time miner. The problem is Big Money got in the GPU market around 3 - 4 months...

    AMD Ryzen 7 1700X vs Intel Core i7-8700K?

    I would until you see ZEN+ performance figures. If they can hit around 4.5Ghz with some cache latency improvements there should be a pretty significant increase in single core performance. We're not that far away. I also suspect memory controllers may be slightly improved to allow for easier...

    Ethereum GPU mining?

    220Mh isn't that great and there's no mention of power consumption? (suspect it'll be pretty high for an ASIC given the memory bandwidth requirements) for these Bitmain machines so I'll reserve judgement on their value once we have more info. No wonder it's taken this long for someone to...

    Ethereum GPU mining?

    Any ERC20 based token can be sent to your freshly created Ledger Nano S Ethereum address. You'll have to use something like MEW to transfer the tokens. Don't forget to transfer all your air dropped tokens that have at least some value. As for BTC/BTG/BCH etc, you'll have to find a software...

    I've been at Ethermine for a while now, pretty happy with theem overall. What's the deal with Ethpool? Why do you need a higher hashrate?

    It's hard to predict the bottom but if I had some spare fiat, I would be dollar cost average buying this dip 100%. Should make gamers happy if this lasts a while as cards will go back to MSRP. :D

    [tftcentral] Asus, Acer and HP Announce 65" Big Format Gaming Displays with G-sync

    FWIW it looks like LG was already prototyping 120Hz 4K OLED displays back in 2016. They call it HFR or High Frame Rate. Given the pixel response of OLED can be as low as 0.01ms, that would be much preferred over some Samsung QDOT VA panel provided LG also focuses on keeping input latency low...

    [tftcentral] Asus, Acer and HP Announce 65" Big Format Gaming Displays with G-sync

    I think the biggest win here is the reduced input lag which is one step closer to that connected feeling that's largely lost with modern HTPC displays. I'm dating myself here but playing classic games on a CRT TV just feels proper. I've tried almost every type of LCD/LED panel and still can't...

    Ethereum GPU mining?

    I'm also good with them taking their time. It hasn't slowed adoption down much but there should be many more use cases once scaling is in place. If Sharding is implemented first, proof of stake can be implemented even more gradually. I'm pretty confident of the proposed PoS implementations...

    Ethereum GPU mining?

    I'm still very bullish on Ethereum. The on chain scaling solutions are taking longer than I want but advances in the existing PoW chain and nodes have kept things moving along pretty smoothly. Most of the on-chain scaling solutions are basically done, they just need serious testing before...

    RIP Gamers, not even the 1080 Ti will save you now.

    You're ignoring some basic economic markers WRT mining difficulty and price. The more cards that are purchased by miners, the higher the difficulty becomes (PoW has self correcting difficulty based on total hashing power of the network). There's an equilibrium that can be met between supply...

    I don't have time to properly reply to 24601 but He/She appears to be conflating or confusing a premine ICO with centralizatiom and has no idea how decentralized Ethereum actually is (it's more decentralized than Bitcoin).

    You make the argument it takes more time now to save up buying a 1070, and while that's true, that same logic also applies to the miners. Miners also have to save up more money (just like gamers) to buy new cards. This is an example of the entitlement I'm talking about. Mining isn't a bubble...

    Nice power consumption. I think I'm closer to 500W with an 850 P2 and a 1700X. You could mine XMR with your 1800X at around 600Kh which is still profitable. You can do both at the same time. That's how I keep things warm in my computer room :)

    There's a bunch of tax laws around small business that confuse me. For example if you mined more than $500,000 worth of crypto you're no longer in that small business tax bracket. I'm not sure if you're expected to pay capital gains on mined coins plus business taxes? The accountant that I'm...

    You forgot a name for your miner. You need to append a name separated by a dot "." to your Ethereum address. Use a different name per miner to more easily track which miner's are performing at specific speeds or how many stale shares etc. You can use us2 for west coast instead of us1 east...

    The app unfortunately won't do everything you asked and it's under heavy server load at the moment (so a little buggy) but is good for keeping track of purchases, pricing, earnings and losses etc.
