Due to very high complexity of our new GPU miner, I don’t expect any other Chia mining solution with comparable performance within a year or two.
Don’t miss the opportunity to mine 2XCH blocks with 200% reward before halving occurs. Join our pool!
Please expand or provide more data on this point, Thank you!
“Even at stock settings, the RTX 4090 uses 432W, which jumps up to 465W with a 110% power limit and 483W with a 120% limit.”
NUC = idles around 5-10W and uses about 15-25W for light tasks. 60-75W under heavy load.
MAC mini = **Maximum continuous power (M2 Pro) 185W
So factoring in power consumption (watts) is a crucial aspect of optimizing one’s setup, especially when adding GPUs which NIVDA seems to have a current monopoly. ONLY IF watts is a concern.
Otherwise PROFIT at any cost trumps watts unless the goal is SPEED for speed’s sake or speed for rapid accumulation then HODL above ALL ELSE (i.e. equipment, HDDs, electricity plus the 3.5% pool fee). But at what total cost. Plus crossing “the signage points occur every ~9 seconds.”
For clarity, is it under 5 seconds or 30 seconds* to minimize the risk of losing rewards?
How many continuous watts does that take per 1PiB, 10PiB, and 100PiB?
GPU plotting can be more power-hungry than CPU plotting. Instead of debating, open up the hood by posting a video.
It is more risky to use nossd over official. Personally I have used nossd for my farm for over a year and no problems. For me the benefits out weight the risk so am replotting to the new GPU version of nossd. And now with GPU plotting it is even faster to replot if there is a problem.
Up to you if you can tolerate the risk. All crypto is risk.
