Whats worth Mining right now (GPU CPU)?

I like you was doing lite coin before it went ASIC... so 2015?ish.

I'm back in the game. currently doing ZCL until new hardware arrives. than I will do ETH.

 

no

 

need more than just a no

Justintoxicated your right.. soon it will swap to POS (not piece of shit) which makes mining not possible. lots of other coins though (ZEC for example) which will be worth it IMO.

what do you have? visit whattomine.com. it will HELP you decide.

 

I'm building a mining rig for zcash (ZEC) with 6 1080 TIs as soon as I can get my hands on all the parts. From the online calculators, that one rig will profit me about a grand a month over electricity use. Gobyte (GBX) is an interesting newer coin that I'll keep my eye on as well. Some things to consider if you're going to build a 6 1080 TI rig (because I didn't think of them at first): make sure you have adequate power to safely power the miner and remember the 80% rule for continuous use. It's not safe to operate a miner that is pulling nearly 20A on a 20A circuit 24/7. You'd need to be on a dedicated 25A circuit at least to safely run a 20A miner 24/7. Good luck! I've had people try to talk me out of it, but the money is there to be made for the right coins.

Also, if you do choose ZCASH, I recommend trying to get tier 3 verified on www.kraken.com as soon as possible, as they are backlogged.

 

I would assume you get be pulling more than 1k in profit for my 11x 1060 3gb rig's + 1x 1080 and 1x 1080ti were doing 1k.

Yes.. I swapped over to ZCL for XYZ reason.. at this point since im close to going back to ETH im not going back to ZEC.

What is kraken? exchange?

 

Yes, $1K/ month is a pessimistic worst case rate. In reality, that box will net profit me more than that for now, once it's built. ZEC seems promising from what I understand. Kraken is an exchange that allows the full chain I need to get my money out of ZEC. ZEC to USD to bank account, but you need tier 3 verification to transfer money to a back account.

Also, I would recommend getting a hardware wallet like Trezor or Ledger. There are just too many horror stories of people losing a lot of money when a hard drive dies.

 

Thanks! IMO I would NOT do that - put all my eggs into a single exchange. exchange one site, move to another, cashout on that site.

Sot Bittrex --> Coinbase --> bank

 

I mean what's the danger other than you could lose your money from the site if they go offline or get hacked? I plan on only moving ZEC to Kraken when I'm ready to pull out some money, otherwise keeping it in a hardware wallet. I chose Kraken because they are one of the few that allows the full chain that I need for ZEC to USD to bank account.

 

now I follow. thats better.

 

Maybe GoByte (GBX) is the coin you're looking for. It's a newer coin that may have potential, and can be mined decently with a single 1080 TI. Interestingly, I'm also in San Diego, but don't have an EV or plan on getting one anytime soon. Also, I will undervolt my 1080 TIs in the rig so that at most it would be around 16A continuous, which would be safe on an exclusive 20A circuit. Running a rig only at offpeak hours would be something to consider. It would take longer to payoff initial investment of the build, but could be quite profitable long term.

Me personally, I'm trying to setup 2 or 3 rigs as soon as feasible/possible.

 

Yeah, the $100 or $200 seems expensive for a hardware wallet, but the people who've lost millions to a landfill hard drive probably regret not having a hardware wallet. I'm not thinking I'm going to get super rich overnight, but if the coins I choose to mine pan out, then I will have made some good money for sure. I'd rather have the money protected with a hardware wallet than not, but that's my preference.

 

You can just run NiceHash, it will auto-pick the most profitable coin at the time. I just started with it like 2 days ago, but it seems to be bringing in about $14/day on my Ryzen 1800X + 2x Vega 64.

This is my gaming rig, but I have a bunch of machines and I'm not gaming most of the time, so I'm putting it to use.

Also have a dedicated ETH + LBC miner with 6x GTX 1060 which is pulling in around $400/month give or take.

 

Is it one of Stilt's bioses?

 

I would not re-flash. His bioses were the best for the 290/290Xs. Pretty sure there has been nothing recent that would do better.

 

my 6x 1060 rig is pulling around 1k/month on mph https://imgur.com/nd723YX might wanna consider changing it up. Using bminer for equihash gave me a good jump in performance too.

 

With those power costs, you may just want to consider buying and trading coins. Getting in on the right alts early can be massively profitable, and your money will probably go much further.

 

Thanks for mentioning bminer. I may have to switch over from EWBF for zcash mining. I'll run some experiments tonight and over the weekend.

 

Folks are saying that bminer is a hair quicker than latest DSTM, but definitely quicker than latest EWBF.

 

PIRL. You can turn 2 coins a day with about 35mh/s and they have run up to almost 3$ a coin in the last month. Have been hanging in the mid 2 dollars over last week. Very interesting concepts behind it.

 

OK, well right now (because of the spike with ETH) I should get getting $525/month mining on Nanopool. But if I can make double that, yeah, I'll switch.

Can you give some more details? I assume mph is miningpoolhub? Are you mining a specific coin: Zcash, BitcoinGold, etc. or some auto-switcher? Please let me know, it would help a lot. Thanks.

 

Miningpoolhub is correct. I currently mine ZCL on there and autoexchange it to my preferred payout coin of VTC to avoid network fee's. I do check whattomine to see if there is another coin I should be mining. I look at last 7 days profitability though, not 24 hours. I've not got the time and energy to deal with changing pools so if the coin isn't on MPH I don't bother.

 

Just a heads up, you are double counting if you looking at the past 24 hours using the MPHstats website. Only count what you are getting credited for on your final auto-exchange coin--in this case, vert. There is no way you are doing $5.50/day per 1060 on MPH. Sorry.

 

If I enable vertcoin it shows double what I actually make....

The picture you quoted is my actual earnings with vertcoin disabled on mphstats

 

You must have the most magical 1060s in the world because there isn't a coin on MPH that is doing that kind of revenue a day for those cards.

 

I think exchange rates have just been working in my favor, I know I've been earning more than whattomine says I should be.

 

You can click the GPU you have and select how many and it will give an estimate of your hashrates.

 

Check here. You can filter by the coins you're interested in and read the reviews.

was doing xzc for a bit then switched over to ore, been looking around for a new coin to mine

 

Looks like that pool only has 3 workers, it would probably take forever to mine anything.
