Vega still running fine since the changes yesterday, the cheap RX 580 from Amazon added to my AMD rig so that's another £42/month with less than £10 extra in electricity costs, - not bad for a card that Amazon only charged me £102 for. D3 still not shipped but received $125 coupon from Bitmain , valid till end of June 2018. Not looking to buy more at the moment, need to recoup some of expenses first but it will probably go towards another S9 in January-March next year or maybe even better a couple of R4's but I have not seen them for sale on Bitmain. The problemI have is most of GPUs are on ground floor, ASICS on the loft and in garage, thermostat for heating is downstairs and GPU's keep it warm enough that gas heating almost never comes on but as the warm air foes rises up and cools down I am starting to get condensation on windows upstairs. R4's might be ideal for 1st floor with reduced noise level comparing to S9.

There are couple of custom design Vegas out there that should have better cooling/less noise but will probably be expensive:

Baikal Giant X10 profit dropping as expected, still on top for now but will probably go down a lot by the end of year.

S9 earning well with L3+ is not bad and at selected times better than S9.

Dash and Ether prices have gone up but Nicehash mining payouts for both while have increased a bit does not reflect price increase, Litecoin have done very well today as well - +13%
