Just trying to make it in the world. I see crypto as an early play to hopefully impact my financial future. But also, Crypto mining is fun!

AI seems to be helping consumers, researchers and developers actually figure out what Big Tech Companies are keeping locked down. This post reminds me of the CMP170hx... The future looks different now that we can fight back easier.
NVIDIA sold millions of 3090s with 50% of the tensor speed switched off. Not missing. Switched off. 1 kernel module flips it to full, and my BF16 tensor pipe went from 82 to 155 TFLOPS. Nothing else changed on the cards, and the outputs match the stock run byte for byte. All so the gaming card wouldnt eat into workstation sales. Every 3090 owner ran at 50% for 6 years, so a pro card could look worth the price. Fine, its their business model. And LLMs are the least interesting place for this. Decode waits on memory, and my engine runs its experts in int8. Still +10% on prefill. The models that live on BF16 tensor math are everything else. Qwen Image 2.1 and FLUX 3 Klein, where every diffusion step is big matmuls. MiniMax H3, which takes 4 to 7 minutes on my cards. Music and speech models. And training, every LoRA anyone ever trained on a 3090 went through exactly the path that was cut. Thats what I measure next. This is only the start.

This is what I am thinking is happening. With the 5090. But this is just a guess.

I only have to 4x my farm to catch @RedPandaMining .... But luckily he is out of power. So I'll keep making headway in an attempt.

The Difficulty hit is still coming! Prepare yourselves.
New high for Pearl’s network hashrate: 79.15 EH/s. The previous high was 70.57 EH/s on Oct 18. pearl-2:native blocks averaged 150.4 seconds over the last 60, against the protocol’s 194-second target. Difficulty sits at 40.6M, up 17% in a week (34.7M on Oct 13) and 22% since Oct 3 (33.2M). It adjusts on a weighted average with a one-week half-life, so it trails a fast climb in hashrate.

FYI the MSI Gaming Trio 5070Ti will not fit in a R8 with the case fans in the stock position. Good thing I already moved them for the huge Gaming OC cards!

Hot damn! It's been too long since I setup another R8 Octominer.... She is ready to be filled up with 5070 Ti cards! Bought these cases from Terra several years ago. Shout out to @HawkCryptoTech

I find it hilarious that many in the Pearl "Community" are down talking the mining community. About how happy they are to eventually move the network and how the aggressive emissions schedule cut is a great thing. As miners, we have seen this many times. Below are my thoughts.

They need miners to build the network and provide liquidity.... Then they treat you like trash.... I don't get it. We have seen other networks died due to aggressive emissions schedule. It was not the price booster that they thought it would be.

Ssshhhh don't tell anyone that the 5070Ti is the GOAT of Pearl mining. @RedPandaMining don't buy any lol

Interesting. I wonder if the pull back is to then flood the market. In an attempt to normalize prices.
en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/… NVIDIA has officially addressed recent rumors regarding the end of life status for the flagship GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card. Senior vice president Jeff Fisher stated that the product has not been discontinued and retail shipments will continue as planned. Company leadership acknowledged that current supply chains and overall manufacturing capacities are facing certain constraints. Despite these temporary limitations, the manufacturer is actively working to ensure a consistent flow of graphics cards to retail shelves worldwide. The existence of alternative silicon variants has not affected consumer deliveries. NVIDIA emphasized that maintaining steady shipments of the flagship GPU remains a top operational priority for the global market. #NVIDIA #GeForce #RTX5090 #Hardware #GraphicsCards #PCGaming #TechNews

It is official - 5090 is no longer offered. Microcenter just listed all 5090s as not carried.

With 5090's going insane... I finally broke down and added the Thermal Grizzly WireView Pro 2 to both of my 5090 PCs. @Thermal_Grizzly
