currently most profitable are FTC, Mona, VTC and ETH, then you have some times Spreadcoin and you have a secret one called SIA, but this one has a huge variance if you don't have a proper farm, because there are no pool
at present SIA is the most profitable at least 50% higher than ethereum and other
Siacoin? Have you actually moved from mining ethereum to mining siacoins with your GPU's? Pretty much interested in trying it, gonna try it today for sure.
you need many rig, so no i didn't, with 1 rig, average per block is 8 days, which is crazy enough for me to give up
So you base your argument on what then when you say it's 50% more profitable than ETH?
just look at the specs, price and network hash/your hash, you will be able to do an easy math
i'll save you time and i say to you that it is one block every 8 days with one rig of six 970, one block is 240k coin at 100(115 actually) satoshi each, this is 0.24 btc in 8 days, which is 0.03 a day
no other coin can earn you that with a single rig....
You mean solo mining only, right? What about pool mining? I'm dual mining with -dcri 70, which makes 15.x MHs for Ethereum and 532.x MHs for Siacoin with my HIS R9 280x. Am I better setting -dcri 45 with only one R9 280x? You said earlier that there are no pools for Siacoin, but I know at least one: Nanopool, which is the one I'm mining to.
EDIT: My graphics card is getting too hot (~88 °C, auto fan @53%) in dual mode. What is the recommended -dcri value in my case? With -dcri 100 I'm getting 12.3 MHs/607.6 MHs. Mining only Ethereum I get 18.5 MHs.
the pool was added recently, when i posted there was none or i was not aware of any pool at that time
yes sia is more profitable than any other, should be around 500k satoshi per gpu, 970 or 280, i don't know if your 280 can do 1giga
So I guess I am better solo mining sia by now?
EDIT: You are correct, Nanopool didn't has released Siacoin pool mining until 3 days ago AFAIK. I'm now trying gominer 1.0.0, downloaded from Nanopool. Getting ~847 MHs.
For those interested in mining Siacoin through Nanopool: American servers are giving errors (well, at least for me, located in South America). With eu1 server it's working smoothly.
EDIT (2): Siacoin pools don't seem to be so stable at this moment, so I really am not sure if it's worth preferring to mine Siacoin instead of Ethereum. Gominer was showing numerous duplicate/rejected shares for some odd reason.
