Hi, i need help i have GPU 280x and 260x and CPU i7 4770K  Ring...

But ---» No GPU device with sufficient memory was found. Can't GPU mine  Remove the -G argument

I think it is the GPU i7 4770k as disconnecting the gpu the i7...

if you think that ethereum is still the most profitable you're doing it wrong, there are better alternative, i'm making almost 7 per card with another coin

Yeah mining PEPE which was profitable for like 8 hours yesterday.



no it's something completely different, and i'm doing business privately, you can not even imagine what is it

if you think that ethereum is still the most profitable you're doing it wrong, there are better alternative, i'm making almost $7 per card with another coin, i won't tell you which one is for obvious reasons
A R9 290X oc will bring around the same with eth. The advantage is I don't have to worry about changing coin mined every day/week : the revenue is consistent/increasing since december..
If the decline of eth price continue, maybe I will switch to decree or an other one.

an r9 290x consume what 280w? i'm consuming not even 160w with this coin

I think the profitability of mining Ethereum has increased a bit because of the fall in crude oil prices. It is now cheaper to generate electricity from gas.

So I am thinking that it is possible to forecast profitability by looking at the cost of generating electricity, or something related to that.


No I don't think it works that way.

my point was most asics spend more in electricity than they earn in bitcoin now.

BTC mining is still profitable. I have a few asics running, they're profitable, just not as much as gpu mining is at this moment.


Do you have free electricity?  Otherwise then no they probably aren't.

Even 10 cents profit is profit, thus profitable.

 Wink

nothing is free. Yes even 10 cents profit is a profit. may be not that much profit, but it is also a profit

Its better to sell the card for like $150 then make 10 cents a day profit.

blake and Eth is the sweet spot even for now. Do not know how long Pow phase of Eth will exist but hope decred will get loads of hashes from gpu miners like us

Decred is also very new and there is a much more restrictive supply so if and when new money comes in then it will have a greater effect on coin price.

Hopefully Decred gets a nice boom for their price over the coming months and that will give a second home to gpu miners as well, that should spread out the hash rate more and slow diff increases.

Decred doesn't have a large market cap, only like $2.5 million

we earned/ mined $0.30 max with 970 even few months ago. We are getting $5+ per day. hope this profitable time will exist for a while

Exactly its was pretty bad that most just sold their GPUs on eBay and bought an Antminer since they were less of a hassle to manage.

Besides ETH, most alt coins were garbage. Had very low market caps and I made like $0.25 per day with a 280X for like the last 12 months. Quark was good for like a month or so but besides that, there was nothing to mine really.

DASH is bad for mining due to the nodes stealing most of the mining profits.
