BIOSTAR Introduces 'Plug-and-Mine' Solution for Crypto Mining Motherboards

[btarunr]

BIOSTAR continues to lead the way in Crypto Mining with an estimated installation of 1 in every 5 mining systems around the world; thanks to its comprehensive line-up of Intel and AMD dedicated mining motherboards, price-performance positioning and ease-of-use. BIOSTAR now makes it even easier for miners by partnering with ethOS to create a total-solution with its Crypto Mining series motherboards and the ethOS USB flash drive preloaded with ethOS system. With the Plug-and-Mine solution, BIOSTAR brings miners an easy-to-follow, simple to set-up package, welcoming more people to join the crypto mining community.

The ethOS Mining System is one of the most straight-forward operating systems for mining ZCash, Monero, Ethereum and other GPU-minable coins. The setup is simple Plug-and-Mine, without needing a SSD. When paired with BIOSTAR mining boards, building a heavy yet stable mining rig of up to 12 GPUs can be done with ease. These have been tried and tested by both BIOSTAR and ethOS.



BIOSTAR Crypto Mining Motherboards
BIOSTAR offers a wide array of crypto mining-oriented motherboards powered by the Intel B250, B85, H81, H110, as well as AMD B350 and A320 chipsets offering great stability, ease of use and high return on investment. These motherboards all support heavy mining setups using 6 to 12 GPUs. BIOSTAR's current crypto mining line-up includes Intel based BIOSTAR TB250-BTC PRO, BIOSTAR TB250-BTC+, BIOSTAR TB250-BTC, BIOSTAR TB85, BIOSTAR H81A and BIOSTAR H110M-BTC and AMD based TB350-BTC and TA320-BTC.

BIOSTAR Blockchain Technology Lab
BIOSTAR is an expert in crypto mining and runs its own 'Blockchain Technology Lab' to ensure the best stability and performance from its crypto-mining series motherboards. All BIOSTAR crypto mining motherboards have been tested and verified in this lab, along with the ethOS plug-and-mine solution. BIOSTAR's Blockchain Technology Lab has the ultimate crypto mining setup with its un-manned operating configuration (UOC), excellent cooling design, and automated reboot system.

BIOSTAR continues to make mining easier with the cooperation with ethOS by providing a USB flash drive with pre-loaded OS making it Plug-and-Mine. BIOSTAR also proven its motherboards and systems are well tested for superb stability with the Blockchain Technology Lab.

Now, all wee need is more specialized mining PCIe slots cards (note: didnt say video cards here) that proved cheaper than video cards intended for gamers

i recon the mining craze has about run its course as regards inflating the price of gaming cards.. the profitability factor no longer justifies the current hardware costs..

i am looking at an 8 x 1070 mining machine producing around $14 us dollars per day.. this will take well over a year to get the hardware costs back never mind show a profit..

the problem is google and its ilk is a couple of month out of date.. its time people are made aware of the current price/profit ratio and not how it used to be.. he he

it may take a while for this simple information to filter through to the would be miners out there but i am doing my bit to help..

It really depends on when you got in. My machines are all fully paid for, anything forward is pure profit and plus the mining equipment.

 

[trog100]

my comment was about those who are thinking of getting in now.. these are the ones that will affect future graphics card prices..

you do kind of make my point.. but you are also irrelevant as regards future graphics card demand or prices.. you got in at the right time and made a good investment.. i would not say the same as regards people thinking about getting in now..

People will still buy in heavily. It is still profitable we are now seeing enough of a surplus that orders are coming in by the boat load from China so places like newegg/frys/microcenter will have normal stock again.

sorry but when it takes around £4000 in hardware (current UK prices) to produce around $14 us dollars per day i dont see a lot of profit from mining..

that $14 us dollars would be around £10 pounds.. that works out at 400 days just to get the initial cash outlay back.. this is not allowing for the power and maintenance costs..

i speak as someone who has just forked out the said £4000 quid to build an 8 card mining rig..

my next step is to try bit of crypto day trading.. he he..

i am quite prepared to admit i got on the crypto mining boat a little on the late side.. but this is my message to others thinking of doing the same thing.. ignore all comment from those who got on the boat earlier it no longer applies.. he he..

You are paying full retail price for cards, of course ROI will be higher. You can still order in 470 mining cards for $200-240ish out of china (and those orders are being fulfilled finally). Those cards are typically ordered in a bulk of 60+ units at a time that puts you $14,400 for cards, 2 Asus BTC boards at $150 a pop, 6 1200w PSU's at $200 a pop, $60 for ram (2, 4GB sticks), $80 for a pair of celerons. That sits you right at 16K in parts. Those cards will do 27-28MH/s in ethereum when setup correctly, which at today's market value is $1.30-1.40 US. That puts the entire setup at $84 per day, ROI would be about 210 after power is pulled assuming a reasonable rate, 190 days with no electricity cost.

You chose to buy expensive products and are stuck wondering why ROI is garbage, the less expensive options have existed this entire time.

if i buy large money items directly from china i have to pay high shipping costs and i will get wacked 20% VAT and customs charges when the stuff lands..

i used to buy stuff directly from china.. but its no longer a valid option for UK folks.. bin there done that and know what its all about.. he he..

there is a world outside of america.. you guys do get it easy relatively speaking..

i could have saved a couple of hundred on what i spend but not much.. i looked around plenty before buying.. i bought decent gear for as low as i could.. i aint f-cking stupid.. i am also in it for long term..

i also dont need a quick return on investment that isnt important to me..

but for the normal joe thinking about getting on the cryto boat the profit isnt there any more..

trying to tell folks otherwise aint doing them any favours..

trog

ps.. my daily use desktop gaming machine..

what bothers me the most is that in the last three weeks i have seen this the daily earnings figure drop from $4 dollars to just over $3 dollars.. okay there is still a profit but for how long.. i am talking average joe stuff.. not wholesale minng farms..

I mean the average Joe doesn't live in communist Europe. Most of the world doesn't tax peoples taxes so they can tax that yet again like they do there nor is electricity exorbitantly expensive around the rest of the globe. So cheers for being in the worst country to mine in. The rest of the average Joe's can make money if they watch deals or buy in bulk.
