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+

Eggtastico

Walrusbonzo

Signed up but waiting for id to be vsluated. Eth is glying today!


Intersted to see if the prices hold. Esp. After gpu's are back in stock!

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.  :nana: 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.

Eggtastico

Replacing them with anything? Or was they spares?
Be intersting to see what happens to the mining prices one cards are available again.
