If any of these sites have APIs it probably wouldn't be hard to extend the automatic chaining.

They all do pretty much....

surely by the time you build a rig to use all that slots you be better off with an antminer or 2?
maybe more suited to Eth Mining?

No, they're not capable of mining Ethereum. It uses a totally different encryption algorithm to Bitcoin and is currently ASIC resistant. Therefore it can currently only be mined by GPUs.

I am aware of that, just not sure about Asrock naming it BTC+ where it is clearly not worth it for BTC

Oh yeah, bad naming.... might have been better calling it mining+ or crypto+

AMD Vega boards couldn't come out soon enough.

I sold 20 RX480s this week, there is such a high demand for them that I stuck 'em all on eBay and the lot sold in a day. Every single one sold for over £260 after fees.

Some nutter even bought one for £310!

Just the one left now, which is in an eBay auction.

When I bought them I never intended to get more than 50~60% of the money back on the cards, let alone make over £1000 profit when they're all 8+ months old.
