Why would he stop using it? Its very profitable, especially now when they got free coinbase transfer, that you then can move for free to GDAX, which has free withdrawls! Its really really good now.
On the matter of topic, they just released a new version i belive, try updating.
Hate to admit it, but he's right as far as profitability goes. The thing I hate about someone using it on their very first miner build is that it causes them to never educate themselves on mining singles. They end up mining for months and have no clue about hash rates, other exchanges, cli wallets, various other gui wallets, coin research, and the list goes on and on and on.
And then the day (a day like we saw back in December) comes where NH is down for two weeks. Those people weren't running their miners, because they had no clue how to mine a single coin.
To the OP ... There are a handful of good algo's that are good for Nvidia cards. Equihash is one of them.
Thank you.
