im finally having some spare time soon and its time to dust off two of my custom gpu rigs that were waiting for almost two years. one is 6x r9 290, another is 4x 7970. the elecy is free.
could anyone please enlighten me whether there is any point to do any of it? i know that the asics took over scrypt. but is there any other gpu only coins out there that i can mine? im confused with all the miner software and pools out there. can anyone please direct me towards a descent multipool perhaps?
i installed the minergate software but it wont detect the gpus.. so much changed in two years.
thank you.

You can use the rigs to mine Ethereum. That is the most profitable coin to mine. Otherwise you can mine X11 or quark and sell your hash to Nichhash.

Got a tutorial on mining Ethereum Huh   

No one seems to want to share that info   Cry

Did you try the "Get Started" way?

If i was you i would look into Decred right now (just search altcoin announcement part of the forum). I think they will be using Blake and from how it looks like it will be a GPU only coin for now. It seems like it is going to be good and you could make some solid coin if you get in on it from the start Smiley

thank you very much for your replies. i will defo look into all those links. i just need something maintenance free as ill be rarely visiting the farm. peace and love.

In this case I think it would be the best solution to use Nicehash and add 1 or 2 backup pools as failover options, in case Nicehash is down.
If you're on Windows, use their new mining software (first link in my previous post), let the earnings send to your preferred BTC wallet.

X11 with AMD GPUs is marginal any more, with the hugh improvements in the Maxwell-based NVidia cards and the upgrades to the related miner software.

 Forget SHA256 and Scrypt - Scrypt hasn't been profitable for GPUs since shortly after that Gridseed 3355 came out.

With a GPU you can mine each coin that doesn't have SHA256 or Scrypt algo. Even most CPU coins can be mined by GPUs.

There are a lot of options for you:

- Sell your hashrate to Nicehash, with their Win-Tool you always mine the most profitable algo https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nicehash-miner-easy-to-use-best-profit-multi-device-cryptocurrency-miner-1274983
- Any coin with X11, X13 or X15 algo (like Dash, Start, HTML, ...) -> https://suprnova.cc/
- Other GPU mineable algos like NeoScrypt, Lyra2REV2, Whirlpool, Qubit, Groestl (VNL, DMD, MYR, FTC, ORB,..)
- Minergate with its coins like BCN, XMR,... Use this mining software https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/claymores-cryptonote-amd-gpu-miner-v113-638915
- SteakCloud, it's a special Multipool operated by a trustworthy member of the altcoin world - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/steak-cloud-proof-of-stake-mining-pool-concept-1178345
- Ethereum, but I'm not familiar with it - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ethereum-pool-httpsethsuprnovacc-0-fee-20-bonus-per-block-1163395
- Other Multipools

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/dashminercom-pool-is-now-closed-1103260 (Payouts in Dash)
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annmultipool-wepaybtccom-algorithm-switching-multipool-with-btc-payouts-863974 (Payouts in BTC)
https://www.ipominer.com/

http://poolpicker.eu (Check profitability, you can use all algos except SHA256 and Scrypt)

As you can see, many options for GPU rigs and there are many more I just forgot to mention. Have fun Smiley

The X coins are all I know of:

http://www.dragonblogger.com/how-to-mine-any-coin-using-amd-gpus-on-x13-algorithm/

But someone said they were mining Ethereum with GPU's but never responded to my PM about how to do it Sad

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-ethereum-welcome-to-the-beginning-428589

Good luck,PM me if you figure something out,I have 4 GPU's just sitting around  Cool
