its still not too late. Shit I am rocking it for 6 months. Then its whatever.
yep. I sold off all the shit I didn't need and invested 3000 out of pocket and going to be running 2 rigs, 12 cards and 2 cards in my rig. May be 2 more in my other computers.It will pay for itself in a month. Rest is profit!It's fun to play around with, not even an expensive hobby. 10 cards and hardware to support them is less than some people spend on a night at the gentlemans club. Sometimes it's people looking deeper into the tech too and thinking about monetary systems and offshoots etc...
you mean tweaking it for mining? 1070 are best for mining because they use gddr5. Founders edition are are the best because they use samsung memory. Almost every single one I have tried has been dead stable at 9200mhz and with power at 80%. 1080 you will likely get the same performance. GDDR5x has relaxed timing apparently and 1070s perform better. I sold my 1080ti and got 2 1070s to start off with. First evga, they were horribly unstable with memory OC. Returned them and got founders edition, averaging around 31mh/s each at around 120w. 1080ti with memory oc +500 and core OC'ed to 2050 on water was giving me 3 4 mh/s. Core clock helped on 1080ti, but on 1070 I found all that matters is memory clock.
I already have the 1080 =) just looking to mine some coin on it when not using it so I'm alright for now.
You could. Just overclock the memory and core as much as you can on those. It will help. You could probably make some money in a few months and have It pay for volta. Hahaa
Is there a guide somewhere?
Pretty simple. go to nanopool.org (without www infront,doesn't work for someo reason. Click on quickstart.) before you do that though gotta understand how you can monitor your money. Go to bittrex.com and create an account then click wallets and search for eth, zcash or whatever you think you can mine and click the + button and add new wallet address. Once you have that input the eth address you created at bittrex in the configuration file you create at nanopool when you click quick start.
Then run it, it will directly deposit your earnings to bittrex. Also create a coinbase address. At bittrex you convert your eth coins to bitcoin and send them to your coinbase account and from there you can directly deposit to your checking account.
Ahh i know the basics just not used to mining on NV gpus, I had mostly mined on AMD gpus in the past. so the claymore dual miner client is good for NV cards?
ahh i remember this now, windows picks it up as a virus.
I haven't had that issue. I just extracted it and it was fine.
No, I just don't have the time/inclination to dick around with mining, I already make enough money. I played with mining Litecoins back in 2014 and it's not for me.Spoken like someone who got in late.

I make enough money too! Yea I didn't have time either. But 2 computers running for 6 months will make me over 15k. I even if it fails after 2 months I would be good. No risk no reward. I was just like you lol. I am in before the crash but I am done thinking people mining are stupid and wasting there time. A month of research and seeing people becoming millionaires off this is no joke. I don't expect to be that, but I sure get my shot at a few bucks. lol
Go big or go home

its worth it if you are willing to put the time into it. Once the systems are up and going stable, they take care of them selves, as long as you have monitoring software. Very little maintenance, but I suggest getting a solid network setup and, know the hardware that you are buying, cause that is most of where the problems occur.
was talking to a friend, and his son wants to do mining, Told him if he doesn't know much about computer hardware, he can still do it but don't expect 2 month returns on your investment lol, cause the first few months he probably will have a butt load of down time because
1) getting the equipment in a timely basis is a pain, with out business accounts
2) network stability will be a problem with older houses even with range extenders and what not
3) any other issues of setting up software, learning curve.

So I though bitcoin was long over done without any new coins really mathematically possible. So what us the big mining gig these days then?
One other thing, this is just the beginning guys.
We'll see. The last time this happened, companies started developing non gpu hardware that made gpu mining obsolete.
Of course, now I'm in the market for a mid-range card for a family member and the prices on Nvidia parts are going up same as AMD cards.
There is effectively no mid-range market right now. As far as I can tell from Newegg and Amazon, nothing between the 1050 Ti and 1080 is available at anywhere close to MSRP. No Rx 570s, no RX 580s, no 1060s, no 1070s.
I'm suddenly reminded of the early 2000's with a ton of competing API's and every game either supporting GLIDE or OpenGL or maybe early DirectX, and if you're really really lucky your videocard might kind of display an occasional glitchy frame. Or after everyone else left the market and a few companies tried to make a third vendor with XGI and it failed miserably.Imagine how much better it would be if we had four of five graphics card companies.

Anyone trying to start up a third line now has a sheer cliff of R&D, patents, and mindshare to compete against. Maybe slightly less steep if they're aiming for mobile.
I've been in and out of the mining world a few times -- like a hobby that pays for other tech toys
I did find a nice RX 480 8GB card on amazon by chance for $300 (and I get 5% off that price) i scooped it up pretty quick to stick it to work minting ETH. Will help pay for the EVGA 1080ti that's arriving in about 12 hours Helps that I have super cheap power, currently 8 cents per kwh, about to sign a 36 month contract for 7.1 cents per kwh no fees, no minimums, no time of use.

Plus I don't mind selling all my cards in a year and getting all that cash back. Its like getting half of the investing back. Actually may be a little more. lol. I see it as extra cash at the end in my pocket.

sell it, i wouldnt count on the prices maintaining long enough to make mining worth it. people mining doesnt matter if no one is buying, the coin will just keep droppingTo 1070 owners ... what would you do, sell it if offered $600 or use it to mine?
