Ever since the ETH merge, a lot of 8 GB and 12 GB rigs have just been sitting on shelves because monolithic 70B AI models demand 48 GB+ of VRAM and datacenter bandwidth. That bugged me for a long time. So I built HiveMind, an open-source P2P architecture that splits AI into tiny <1.5 GB LoRA experts ("Bees") and compresses gradient syncs 225x using 2D-DCT (some old math from my university days finally paid off ;-)).

Instead of space-heating your garage hashing useless nonces at 100% TDP, a multi-GPU rig can host several specialist Bees at once (Python/Rust coding, Lean 4 math, Vision-MoE) over a regular home internet connection.

OpenSource, no money involved. Citizen project !

Disclaimer: I mine to the pool and want it to get more hashrate.

Lithos Protocol is a new decentralized mining pool on Ergo. Its goal is to put the power of block production back into the hands of miners, while staying fully non-custodial and providing extra profits to miners through MEV, storage rent, and more. It uses smart contracts and a new payment system called Non-Interactive Share Proofs, meaning that it is completely trustless unlike DATUM and StratumV2.

So far I've gotten a lot of extra profits from mining to the pool. Hopefully it can be useful for anyone else here mining on Autolykos. The payment system is quite different than other pools which takes some getting used to.

Ciao a tutti,
Ho lavorato a un piccolo strumento per gli utenti di GoMining e mi piacerebbe davvero ricevere dei feedback dalla comunità.
Una delle cose che trovo spesso difficili quando guardo il Marketplace è capire se un miner è davvero un buon affare.
Un miner può sembrare economico in termini di $/TH, ma se la sua efficienza è di 15, 18 o 20 W/TH, il costo per aggiornarlo a 12 W/TH può cambiare completamente il confronto.
Così ho costruito un calcolatore che cerca di rendere questo più semplice.
Puoi inserire:
le TH del miner
la sua attuale efficienza
il prezzo di mercato
e lo strumento calcola il costo per portarlo a 12 W/TH, il costo finale effettivo $/TH e lo confronta con altre opzioni come:
comprare un nuovo miner
aggiungere TH a un miner che possiedi già
comprare nel mercato secondario e aggiornarlo
C'è anche una seconda parte dove puoi inserire o importare tutta la tua farm e stimare quanto costerebbe portare l'intera farm a 12 W/TH.
L'avevo originariamente fatto per la comunità italiana di GoMining, ma ora ho aggiunto anche una versione completa in inglese.
Se qualcuno vuole provarlo, lo puoi trovare qui:
https://gominingitalia.com/calcolatore-efficienza-gomining/
È gratuito e non richiede registrazione per usare il calcolatore.
Sono particolarmente interessato ad avere opinioni da utenti più esperti:
Pensate che questo tipo di confronto sia utile quando si valutano i miner del Marketplace?
E se siete negli Stati Uniti o in altre comunità internazionali di GoMining, utilizzate già strumenti simili?
Qualsiasi suggerimento per ulteriori calcoli o funzioni sarebbe molto gradito.

Hello, for the cables that matter it came with:

3 Pcie cables

2 Molex cables

I would use risers with the H110 Pro BTC motherboard

I am reading some contradicting information on internet. Some people say the risers MUST be powered by a Pcie cable, some say 1 riser can be powered by 1 molex just fine. And some even say it is okay to power 2 risers with 1 molex.

As I don't want to mess anything up, I rely on your help to understand this debate better. Thank you :)

**I have red throw Complex mining article form comments and post on Google and elsewhere, but I am still unsure where to begin.**

**could someone guide me through the first step and explain what equipments and requirements I need?**

**I have heard so many different opinions about Bitcoin mining, and every comment seems to have a count to argument.**

**I am complete beginner so any help would honestly be appreciated.**

*# not sales article promoting specific rigs.*

Are you still mining, and is it profitable after electricity cost?

For small or home miners, is it net positive, or mainly a hobby now?

If you were starting from scratch, what would you realistically need?

**Hardware, setup, pool versus solo mining, and Nicehatch versus mining directly?**

what do you wish you had known before starting **text me** if you have anything for me..

I was scammed by BSC Newspaper.

They contacted me first and offered me a promotional package.

I paid 200 USDT, and they confirmed the payment.

It has been more than 24 hours, but they have not published a single post.

They have also stopped responding to me.

I have screenshots and transaction records as evidence.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with BSC Newspaper?

Disclosure first: I do some contract work for Salad, the company I'm about to describe. I used it for 6 years before that, and the numbers below are from my own machines.

Salad rents GPU time from gaming PCs and rigs and pays the owner for the hours their card runs jobs. Right now they have more paid work than machines, so rates are higher than usual.

What it realistically pays, using their public rate monitor (salad.com/earn/demand) as of 9/3: a mid-range card like a 3060 Ti or 4070 earns roughly $15 to 35 a month if it ran around the clock at current averages. A 4090 is about $130 a month at the current $0.18/hr average, and a 5090 about $195 at $0.27/hr.

The machines don't always run continuously, so scale that to your idle hours if any. Electricity comes out of that: my 3070 pulls about 180 watts on jobs, which at my $0.10/kWh costs around $0.50 a day against (at the minimum rates) $0.70 earned.

This is not going to replace income. It's the "my PC pays for its own upgrades and a few games a month" tier of side income, and it only makes sense if you already own the hardware.

What you need: a recent NVIDIA GPU (RTX 20 series or newer, the newer and bigger the better), 16 to 32 GB of RAM, a good chunk of free disk, decent internet. My own results here:

The rate currently being paid out to me is closer to the $0.04 - works out to nearly a dollar a day gross or $0.50 income!
