I am guessing you are mining at Nicehash.
You can goto whattomine.com to see the difference in profitability between mining direct and Nicehash marketplace.
With ETH price so high now, that difference is huge almost 15-20%.
My ETH farm mines to ethpool and dwarfpool, and collecting ETH coins back to Coinbase.
Compared this to ZEC mining, I prefer Nicehash because you get paid in BTC upfront without the coin confirmation BS -- I also find the ZEC pools too sluggish and struggles whenever diff level goes up.
I just did what you said and blake is still coming out as the more profitable coin right now for my 1080ti's.... ive been getting between 10-17/day per card for almost a week now.. im not sure how long it will stay like this.. but its been super profitable since skein took a nose dive last week....
Hashrate?
Im mining blake on zpool... the 24hrs profit number currently is 0.38722 (which is low today)
0.38722 x 91.494Gh/s=35.42830668mBTC/day or 0.03542831 btc/day, today is not a good day for me to mine blake, because it was around 0.8ish the last week nearly... if i mined blake today i would only make $6.86 per card for the day if the profit rate stayed stable....which it never does.. right now im mining skein....
skein currently for me is 0.00393, so 0.00393 x 22503 hashrate gives 88.43679mBTC/day or 0.08843679btc *estimate today or $222.88, basically $17 per card for me today... but since i know skein moves a lot during the day... i expect around 13-14 per card
AND dont forget the pool fee, so whatever it comes out above you times it by 0.98 to get your closer estimate earnings to subtract the 2% fee
Can you be more specific. It is really hard to follow what you are doing with what hardware and how.
What miner and pool are you using to mine blake (zpool)? Which blake? Can you post your bat file (ccminer -a blake2s?). What hash rate are you getting?
Sounds interesting.
Also you are saying Skein is giving you 17$ per card. I have never seen it more than 14$ and right now it is very low more like $10.60 before power and pool fees. It hasn't really moved around that much in the last 12 hours.
I want to be making what you are. But the numbers just don't really stack up. You total hasrate is 22503 for how many cards? That would actually give you $220 worth of BTC but I just cant figure out your numbers. So you have 22 1090 ti's? If you did. That would end up around $10.50 per card.
Your numbers are telling me you have 13 cards doing 1730 Hash per card on Skein. I suspect something is not right on a spreadsheet somewhere. Which would also explain your blake profits which seem to not add up. Though I still want to try it
. If it can match Skein sometimes I wanna give it a go.
I could have something confused myself I am not the best at math.
First of all, im still tuning things.. but i have been dialing in my cards for each algo setup still...
I mostly use Zpool.ca as my pool to mine from...
I dont use a single batch file for all miners on each rig, i have a mix of GPU's and i have found that every card has different limits on tuning the settings... some are way more overclockable compared to others based on the base clock speed....
So, currently for 13 GPU's i have 13 separate batch files running with a modified version of Nemominer in which i added additional miners to the list to use for example i recently added ccminer-x64 2.0 which is the most recent ccminer released and some of the algos on alexis are just slightly faster on it over others... but this varies on multiple things...
Firstly each miner has different default intensity levels, so when you test out a algo on a miner, you have to set the intensity manually across the board, because i found during my testings, the miners i thought was hashing me the best rates were actually using a different intensity setting default and when i would set it equal to others, in some cases it was really no longer better.. also different brand cards seem to vary a little with different miners, so i test each new card i get on all miners at predetermined intensity levels while i adjust the core and clock settings.. i use the --benchmark coding built into the miners..
so for example:
:START
ccminerAlexis78.exe --benchmark --algo=lyra2v2 -i=27
The above simple code would start alexis78 miner, then activate benchmarking on the predetermined algo of lyra2v2 at an intensity of 27...
I do this for a while testing out different settings on each and every algo so i can set the tuning for each algo to run at its most optimal hashrates within the limits of what i can get out of the GPU... this is why i have different batch files for each GPU, because some will run at 31 intensity all the way to +300 core, but others cant.. and when you tune all together the weakest card brings down all the rest of your rig..
