Sorry to bump an old thread but at this time in 2017, would you guys say that ETH is a viable option as a currency? It's been pretty steady the last few months.
So, anybody else here lucky enough to buy ETH below $50?
The bulls have been strong for the past few months.
I have found ethereum to be the hardest coin to understand, but i got all my machines working on it with the following batch file using QTminer. Download a miner (QT or ethereum) I had a hard time getting the wallet to sync, it took days so in the meantime i generated an online wallet to mine with. Then find an exchange. Mine Ethereum -- hold them until PoS or sell for bitcoin. Personally i do not like gambling, so i am going to sell them for bitcoin as i mine them. Once I have .25 bitcoin or more ill sell for USD. I just want my video cards to pay for themselves so i could justify a free upgrade.

Yeh would be cool for you to give me some guidance. If you can drop me a message which pool and which tools to use , would be great.
I just got my hands on an RX470, only one unfortunately.
I started off with Nicehash on Windows. I then dove in further and got sick of Windows drivers issues (when running 6-7 RX 470/480s) and decided to start using ethOS.
I'm actually still using the Nicehash ethereum pool with ethOS, which is kinda silly since I'm giving them a 3% fee instead of the more normal 1% fee on other pools. I like the auto-conversion to BTC though (that'd eat a bit of profit elsewhere anyways), and I still run the Nicehash Windows app on my main system for my GTX 1080 Ti. That thing switches algos several times a day to whatever is most profitable. Its nice to have it all going to the same wallet. Maybe one of these days I'll leave the newbie pool and step up to another for the ethOS rigs. We'll see..
Honestly, with only one or two cards, I'd say just use Nicehash for the convenience. I'm only considering switching because the 3% fee starts to look pretty hefty when you have 20+ cards running..
Is this fine? I am unsure about bios flashing especially on an expensive card.Honestly, with all of the trouble you're having, just use Nicehash with the default settings (change your wallet to your wallet!!) and be done with it for now. Mod the BIOSes to use the 1500 memory straps, set your clocks at 1050/1900 using WattMan or MSI Afterburner and be done. You'll end up hashing 26-27Mh/s per card, making over $4/day between the two cards.
Yeah those are normal stock RX 470 speeds. Try underclocking the cores to 1050 and drop core voltage down to somewhere around 850-900mV and they will run cooler. Don't OC the memory though unless you mod the BIOSes.
It's been a while and I'm on older hardware but from what I remember you had to edit a configuration file for MSI Afterburner to enable the voltage controls.
MSI Afterburner works well. You may have to go into the advanced settings to enable voltage control. My Windows box now only has an nVidia card in it, so I'm not exactly sure which setting enabled voltage control for the AMD cards. Those settings can be set to be applied at Windows startup, so its somewhat a set and forget thing.
I have 5x PowerColor RX470 4GB Red Devils (by the way, I saw you ask about the pentagram on the back.. the "older" ones have the pentagram, the "V2" ones do not.. as far as I can tell, nothing else is different between them). They all have Hynix memory on them. I'm running them at 1050/1950 with the 1500 memory timings (requires modding the BIOS for the memory changes), and they are all hashing exactly 26.7Mh/s. Some of my other cards with Hynix can only run 1900MHz with 1500 timings, and they hash at 26.2Mh/s..
I don't have an RX 470 Nitro+ 8GB.. all I have is a RX 480 Nitro 4GB, but that has Samsung memory on it and runs at 1050/2000 with 1500 timings, hashing 27.9Mh/s
I'm using Coinbase as my wallet. Opinions vary wildly on wallets (Coinbase especially!). Coinbase tells you not to use them as your mining wallet, but I've had no issues yet. I pay attention to my payouts and make sure they are coming through. So far, so good. They charge you a 1.5% fee to deposit to your bank account or 3.99% to deposit to Paypal. The 3.99% is high, but I think 1.5% is reasonable for converting to cash in my bank account.
I recently switched from Nicehash to the ethermine.org pool. I use Claymore 9.3 and have my account set up to deposit to my Coinbase account. Making a pretty good chunk of change right now!
My RX 470s/480s are getting 26-28Mh/s. My GTX 1080Ti is getting 36-37Mh/s.
With the crazy stuff that's happening with the value of ether right now, I am NOT selling any more than I need to pay the electric bill and the minimum payment on the 0% credit card most of the hardware is financed on. I was going to sell it immediately and pay the card down fast, but at this point, with the wildly increasing value, I'm better off holding onto the ether as long as I can.
As far as I know they require more info for New York residents. I could start trading with certain limits by only providing my basic info. I Had to upload an ID if I wanted to remove some limitations.Coinbase wants as much info as my last bank account. Kind of wierded me out. Are they only asking for all that because I live in NY state or do they ask for that on every user?
