That's really nice, maybe in a couple of months i'll add another GPU, I'm thinking the 1070 or the 1080.
Do you mind sharing more details about your rig ? i'm trying to learn as much as i can but nothing beat the hands-on experience you guys have already.

not much to describe;

one is a EVGA Classified board; X58; 1st gen i7-920; 8G 1333 DDR3, 1x gtx980, 1x gtx 960

One other is almost identical but has the X58 classified SLI board instead; and has a 1070. A friend runs his 1070 at home when hes not using his machine.

The hard part for most people are getting the drivers installed for multiple brands/makes of video cards and trying to overclocked mixed gpu systems.

Otherwise; they basically just look like normal PC's or rack mount servers and are loaded with an os in the same manner. Typically I have been using windows 10 on the miners I build; I just modify the hosts file to block all tracking/update services via DWS10.

yep, totally understood right there.

There are some slow days, but they aren't really that bad or common.

With 3 GPU's, I easily pull in .15-.2BTC/mo. (1070, 980, 960) and typically see .005/day minimum.

Id suggest either lyra2v2 or skein. Some people are very heavy on recommending ZEC/equihash, but I personally see more profits with the others.

I have a few batch files linked in my sig for mining on zpool. all payouts will be in BTC no matter what you mine; or in the altcoin of your choice that the pool also mines. Just add or remove the algos you do not wish to run; or leave all enabled.

Links to all the miners I use are also in the same post, or linked via the original post through there.

Thank you very much, yes I've been running nheqminer overnight to test it and it wasn't very impressive. I'll give your batch a try and post the results here.

Sounds good. Just remember, some altcoins like those in lyra2 are long-confirm, etc... or high diff, thus you will see periods of small gains then big jumps... But if you want to just run one algo, you can use something like this:

Code:

:start
ccminer.exe -a skein -i 26 -o stratum+tcp://skein.mine.zpool.ca:4933 -u 1PHSDYvVp6HpqtuUPocK41DrdeHbbezaeP -p i7-920-GPU,c=BTC,skein,stats
goto start

Very simple; effective. I have added a good intensity to run the 10 series cards with.... default intensity was 20. A 1070 goes from 360Mh to over 400Mh.

If you want a different algo; be sure to change all the algo names in the batch example above, be sure to update the port as well. You can remove or change the first part of the password field (just an identifier) and be sure to select the coin you are getting paid out with as I have (BTC).

If you read the zpool.ca main page, it explains all of this, but seeing the launch string, makes it much more understandable to the beginners.

Personally, I haven't used my auto profit switching in the past many many months; Just been sticking with one algo; Id rather take the lions share of the payout on chance, than only try and earn when the pool luck has struck causing the profitability figure to rise.... I see more "good profit" days this way... At least I think I do.

I've been running your zpool bash script for a bunch of algos for the past 2 hours and it's much better than what I had before, I think i'll leave it for 24hours, then run a single algo for another 24 hours and keep switching for the next days and compare, I'm sure i'll end up using your method because that "nice profit day" always feels so good !

Hello miners, I'm fairly new to the altcoin mining world and I've stumbled across this forums as a major reference everytime I look for information.
My question is very simple, I have gaming computer that's not used anymore and I would like to start mining with it, it has a GTX 1060 6GB gpu in it
What coin/algo mining works best with it ? what are some of your hashrate using the same card for compare?

i suggest to mine lbry or zcash, they are the best one for nvidia for now, but one single 1060 can't do much, on lbry only 180MH and on zcash only 280 sol, whattomine say that you might earn $2 a day, but you need to factor in the electricity which you didn't tell

Actually $2 a day seems profitable to me because electricity isn't as expensive where i live, still it sucks as a ROI if i wanna let say buy a couple more GPUs. Thank you for the advice

Well, it is not 2$ a day. Count more on 1,5$/day, for now. What I recommend you to mine with this card is Lbry and ZCash, classic and normal. Ethereum is also interesting but gives lesser profits.
