I've been mining with the same 120 gpu's for 3 years. I pay 6 cents a KHW and its the only reason they are still running. Things are improving slightly but not enough to buy more gear or upgrade. I'd love to expand or upgrade but but can't justify it right now.

This is a great second income. Congrats, its what mining was meant to be until everyone got wind of it and over-saturated the space.

Privacy is always important

Much better if you want to find which miner is the best or good miner use awesomeminer to find better GPU miner.
Awesomeminer is a good tool for GPU you will see all listed miner from their tool and it is free to use for one rig.
Official thread is here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/awesome-miner-powerful-windows-gui-to-manage-and-monitor-up-to-200000-miners-676942
You can also use their tool called benchmark under that tool where you can benchmark which miner and algo will make you more profit today.

Are there any really lucrative GPU coins left? I guess not, right?

depending on the point of view, the main point is the cost of kw / h is low?

profitability has improved significantly in the last 30 days prices went up: ETC +146%, XZC +86%, ETH +37 %

Yes the price might of went up by +146% but look at the difficulty,
https://www.coinwarz.com/mining/ethereum-classic/difficulty-chart

In the last 30 days it went from 120T to 230T which is almost 100% gain. So the profitability only improved slightly, also keep in mind there are still miners which will make the switch.

The issue with ETC is the small miner reward, if ETH had a gain of 100% then the profitability would be much much better.

As I always said, it depends how much you are paying for electricity, for me it's not worth anymore, I pay 0.20cents USD kw, but for a guy who pays 0.5c can be profitable

I've mined with a few ASICs before, which was nice and easy. I find GPU mining a bit more difficult, for lack of coins and software. For instance I can't modify an old Bitcoin release and use an old Bitcoin GPU miner to experiment with (or any coin that uses same proof of work).

GPUs should be quite flexible (still) if not profitable. I'm fascinated with the subject and would like to learn a bit more, so after changing the proof of work in some version of Bitcoin, I could try and verify it with GPU mining software.

Maybe if there's a good keccak/something else GPU miner, I could rip out SHA256d and try that out. Not sure what GPU mining software is flexible enough to handle a lot of algorithms though. Can anyone recommend a good GPU miner?

Thanks

If you find GPU mining difficult I can point you to my blog where I'm listing the best and easiest mining software to use- https://bitcoinminingsoftware2019.com. I personally use Kryptex, but CudoMiner is also great, and there are several other alternatives that you can test out.

Noob page, with noob software for kids XD

If you're having trouble mining with GPU, you'd better not start mining with it Roll Eyes

Learn the basics!

I think this was not the right answer, for monero I'm using XMR-STAK-RX which is free and going great till now, what he needs to do is to search for best mining software on google there would be the better answers.

I would recommend you leave the GPU, because it's been quite a long time, and I think there are also many better developments from the GPU, it's just that it depends on the needs and money you have to get maximum mining results.

if you have nvidia cards
i will suggest checking out ccminer
specifically alexis build
ccminer also supports majority of algos

I have Nvidia cards but never tried this CCminer, is it have all algo's? I'm specially asking for the CryptoNight algorithms.
