I switched my GPU to the secondary bios, kept the radeon profile setting on "power save", power consumption is now lowered to 165W (before it was at 200W),
mining hashrate is the same, temps dropped a bit too. Quite pleased with this.
Looking forward to gain knowledge on how to trade coins on Exodus. In january, i felt like i was Jon Snow ("i know nothing"), this month is a bit better. I start understanding a bit more. The whole technology behind it is somewhat mind boggling. I want to… See More
take advantage of all of it. Make profits and experience all the benefits of decentralized currencies.
There is a lot happening right now, with EIP 1559 set to come this july, PayPal launching their crypto checkout service, VISA allowing the use of the cryptocurrency USD Coin to settle transactions on its payment network and launching a pilot program together with crypto dotcom.
World of crypto is in its early beginnings.
Long comment. (Not criticizing you, just how I feel.)
I was an early adopter of Bitcoin and if I had not sold my coins for $15 each I would have over $500,000 today. I even bought some snacks for a couple bitcoins.. Pistachios and dried meat from the first online snack store to accept BTC.
Crypto was supposed to be an exciting new decentralized currency that would make it easy for people to buy and sell stuff without government intervention and without corporations taking a cut. But it didn't work… See More
out that way. The fact that people have all this fear of missing out on a life changing amount of money, means that its not working correctly. And for that reason I am mostly just waiting for a crypto to come along that is about solving problems and being useful without being a gold rush.
But here is one piece of advice I always give to miners. Something I should have done long ago but didn't because I was so caught up in the mining and the excitement of making your computer generate money.
Just buy the coins. You will make so much money money so much faster than trying to mine it. A perfect example is real world gold mining. The companies who dig the gold out of the ground have extremely thin margins. They do so much work and have to pay for all this equipment and employees to make 5% profit.
The people who make billions on gold are the Wall St. traders, investment banks, etc. sitting at their computers pressing buttons to buy and sell at the right time.
If you REALLY want to make money with crypto, every day that you waste messing around tweaking a GPU is a wasted day. Each month will be less productive as difficulty goes up and then you will need to invest more in hardware, electricity, cooling, etc.. Mining is only a game for the big players.
Just get out there and buy low / sell high.
