Hi Guys,
Interesting thread, can i ask a question though.
What brings you to mining? What are you hoping to achieve?
J
In my case it is mostly to make servers cores "busy" with at least minimal profitability while not used in other job.
Example...if FEA job optimal setting is 64 cores and it takes all of ram (1024Gb), then I have other 64 cores idling as I can not use them in FEA due to lack of memory... Therefor I use them for mining, to cover at leas 0.01$ of electricity with them.
What is your story?
Smart! I have completely idling server at work, and luckily don't have to pay electircity, so I made it my CPU mining rig. For now I'm accumulating mined coins (mining Credits to get my masternode) and betting for future raise in value.
Reason i was asking is quite simple...
I am completely split by threads like this,
Part of me, loves the info, finding new coins, new charts, etc, BUT the other part of me dies...cos everytime i see these threads, every single coin listed gets hashed to death.
Personally i love deep searching the web to find coins literally no-one is mining and to find a wallet, download the full blockchain and solo mine it, very very steadily, usually only a few hours a week.....then one day, hopefully it will be worth a few quid. (sometimes takes 1-2 years to become valuable).
One classic example was "GNB"...dev made ANN, deleted ANN, made new Ann, messed around a while, ans i just happened to come across it...it was a Scrypt coin, so you know, zillions of GigaHash...but no, no one was mining it, well 4 connections i think...so i mined with gpu (750ti @ 100 kh/s) for 6-8 hours, and made 20,000 coin....i sold 14,000 for 1 sat a week later, and and gave away 1000 coins. Several weeks later, i saw on here 1 post....saying "WOW GNB @ 15000 sats"....by the time i had got my coins to exchange it had risen to 18000 sats...sold the lot, 5000 in 1 hit... so i guess thats what does it for me..."discovery and hope"....and a lot of good luck....i don't get the "melting ure cards for $1/day or $0.1/day after power- well least not here in the UK"
So, if there are any like minded souls out there, who mine a few "dodgy" coins, a few hours a week,with 1 gpu, and hodl....well perhaps we should get in touch, and mine together descretly.
