Mined a bit of Digibyte (750 worth about £20-30 depending where you check) https://www.digibyte.co/ yesterday while L3+s were not rented out. I think I will set it up to mine a bit of Vertcoin https://vertcoin.org/ next time it's not rented out. Not cashing in any of these as it's not economical to exchange small amounts just expanding portfolio, who knows might be worthless or worth a small fortune one day
ETN difficulty have gone up a lot so I think I need to look at mining something else on CryptoNight as well, Sumo seems to be most profitable at the moment https://www.sumokoin.org/

Came accross soem interesting motherboards where you can plug many GPUs on the motherboard without risers

6 GPU version with onboard CPU https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-...StoreLevelAB=5 I think I might give this one a try, seems very cost effective considering that you don't even need to buy CPU.

8 GPU version https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-...StoreLevelAB=5

Rumour has it there are 9 and 12 GPU versions coming out as well.

I assume the latest S9 batch was BCH payment only? Last couple of times when Bitmain releases new batch of miners with BCH payment only BCH prices goes up a lot due to increased demand, then slowly falls back. Next time could be opportunity to buy some BCH before price goes up if you can do it in time and then sell before it starts dropping. If you hold some at the moment it could be time to sell while the price is still high. This is just a speculation and I could be wrong or they might release another batch tomorrow and push the prices even higher but at least something to think about.

Those motherboard DO look interesting. And not a bad price too, especially the 6-card board, considering the savings of not having to buy a CPU or risers.

I need to find time to play around with direct pool mining more. Might have to take a look at Digibyte and ETN. Which pool are you using for those?

And what are you doing for your altcoin wallets? Are you using individual wallets or multi-coin wallets? I need to get my altcoin wallets better organised. I have a Trezor on order, which should help a little, but with 30+ alts now, it's becoming a bit cumbersome keeping track of them all.
