Two 6800 XT cards already sold via offers. My nitro+ and a reference card.
Got two more up there now and a 6600 XT. Should have all that stuff sold by end of next weekend.
Got a 1600w gold power supply now that I'm not sure what to do with. Might just go ahead and keep it. Who knows my current 1200w might not be enough once these new cards come out later this year lol

1600w should run half a 4090.
I'm still mining along. $30/day now. Not going to stop no matter what. Cryptos are slowly getting into buy Zone.

So far I've sold:
(2) 6900xt
(5) 6800xt
I have one rig left with 5 gpus. (2) 6600xt and (3) rx6800. No plans to buy anything else unless I find a stupid good deal on a used 3070 for $250 or less.
I obviously lost money on the GPUs but I expected as much selling late like this. Pricing just going to continue down from here anyway.
I'll continue to mine eth on the last rig I have until the merge at which point I'm shutting it down until I can replace all my cards with super cheap 3070. After that, speculative hobby mining at a loss.

Since difficulty bomb will be undone apparently by July we'll be mining a bit more eth. I haven't sold anything and continue to mine. Bought some BTC at 18-19k

Down to 5 GPUs.
(2) 6600xt
(2) rx6800
(1) 3090Ti
Around 320MH. I have my last two 6800 up for sale but haven't really gotten any offers now in a while. Most likely I'll keep mining with them (and the 6600) until the end of the line at this point.
Still keeping an eye on 3070 used cards. Way too overpriced to buy any. Going for MSRP on ebay right now used. At about 250 I get interested beyond that no way.

How much are you asking for the 6800? I have a buddy who might be interested

Looks like difficulty bomb already pushed back. I can see mining revenue a tad higher.

Last of my AMD 6800/6900 are up for sale on ebay now and all I will have left at that point is a pair of 6600XT that I'm keeping. I've been taking the money from the sale of the cards and have been replacing them with 3070 founders editions.
For hobby mining in the future with the one rig I'm holding onto this makes sense. 3070 is good at ETH while it lasts and will be better at other algorithms once the need to switch off presents.

All my 6000 series AMD cards are gone. 
I have one 5gpu rig left to hobby mine with and it's all Nvidia. 3070 and 3060Ti.
Waiting for the merge when I shut it down for weeks, months, who knows how long and wait out all the stubborn ones who insist on mining at a huge loss.

Probably some more downside from here to end of August.
Eventually gov't won't be able to make the Debt payments at such a high interest rate. Won't make much $$$ off people's lack of taxes from lack of profits in markets or from just plain working. Economy will tank.. they'll have no choice but to print even more money than last time and the fiat ponzie will continue.
I'm still mining exactly as I've been since xmas 2020.

I am glad I sold them 3070s and made back full prices for them.
Will take a loss on the 3080 Ti and 3090 Ti that I have but they still pumping decent money.
The last 3070 is already paid for as well.
So am about 430$ saved at current prices. Which is decent. Nicehash says I am pushing about 160 slaps per month. Which is still enough to turn a small profit at current rates. No point turning it off right now. Also earn rates have improved quite a bunch in past 2 weeks so better to stay while it lasts.
POS doesn't seem to be coming anytime soon either.

I'm making a few quick bucks scalping.
Still mining. I find the mining revenue has gone up, similar to half a year ago.

Little over two weeks until the biscuit wheels pop off the gravy train.
I downsized a while back and have just the one 3070 rig left. Currently stacking as much as I can before (profitable) GPU mining is over.
Plans after that haven't changed just some speculative mining as a hobby. Not planning on selling any more hardware at this point. Done deal now as we head into the dark ages.
