Hello Guys,

Thank you very much for the answers. My English is not very good and the mining mode can be confusing.

I understood the answers and I will continue to learn and understand the options that have passed.

What I want is to mine two coins together, BTC and NMC for example, where I extract BTC and break, I earn some NMC. Dual Mining, such as Ethereum and Another Coin for GPU cards.

As I said, I started mining less than 5 months ago and I have 10 pieces of equipment, I don't know if I'm extracting everything I can from my system.

I signed up with Slushpool, created a wallet at Blockchain.com and pointed the equipment there. I am mining 0.02 BTC every 3.5 days approx. That's right? Can I improve this performance?

Dashboard in Slushpool:

In dual mining I would have results in BTC and any other currency, based on SHA256.

Thanks!

 Maybe he was asking this question. Said dual mining and meant merged

I think he is referring to dual mining as in GPU dual mining, which is not possible as far as ASIC miners are a concern, OP you must understand that the way a GPU works and an ASIC miner like the M21s works are pretty different, you can't use a certain resource of your ASIC to mine x algo and the other resources to mine another algo, so Dual mining as the one ETH is known for is a no-go here.

The alternative way of dual mining (although one could argue that is called merged and not dual) would be "mining" coins that utilize Bitcoin Blockchain in the means of auxiliary blockchain, where the POW that is done on the so-called "parent" chain which is BTC blockchain are considered valid work on the auxiliary/child blockchain, that coin needs to 1. Be based on SHA-256 algorithm and 2. Supports this auxiliary proof of work thing.

I assume coins mentioned by both members above qualify for those 2 rules.

Mined BTC and get 2 NMC, 5 SYS, 0.1 EMC, 1 ELA for FREE

Additionally, I highly doubt this can be done on your miner software level, the pool has to do it and give you the rewards for that, so you can't say mine BTC at ckpool and mine SYS coin at Nanopool for an instance, it is also worth mentioning that the rewards you get from those coins are pretty worthless, the good part, unlike Dual mining with GPUs this does not make your miner consume more power.

Well, if this is what he meant there are many pools offering merge mining not only in ViaBTC.

I think ViaBTC not only offering NMC

And there are some pools offering merge mining.

If he wants to find those pool he can use this link below

I can't find any information from Google that this miner could dual mine to different algo.
And it only supports SHA256 algo unlike other ASIC miners like Baikal miner support dual mining in two different algos.

So, Dual mining with m21s is impossible.

He can merge mine.

I mine at viabtc  my machines  earn both

BTC
NMC


Now NMC is  a pretty worthless coin.

Dear Mrs,

I am starting in mining and I have already had many problems, all and some very important with temperature and energy.  Cry

I have 10 M21S machines connected 24x7, they are dragons in energy consumption and also in heat production! Ahh, there is also the noise that is heard from kilometers away!

Not to mention that the wires had to be super sized! It's incredible!  Shocked

But I am very happy with the process and today! They are paying off and I want to optimize profits.

Can you help me do Dual Mining? Does this exist for SHA256? Can I do it on the M21S?

Today I solved all the problems, dipped the machines in transformer oil and put an oil cooler that keeps the temperature at 45C, after I had this idea I found out that people are already doing this. I ended the noise and now I want to double to 20 machines in two tanks.

Hug to everyone! And thank you in advance.
