I would have stayed on nicehash but it simply had too many lock ups.

If you are getting nicehash to run may as well stay.

My viabtc goes to Coinbase and I just cash it out to pay all the bills.

My asics for btc are all hodl.

Running Nicehash Miner with PhoenixMiner after Claymore died.  Was using Blockchain drivers , but crashed too much, now use 18.6.1 on my 2017-18 era cards (580's, vegas). and run more stable than ever before.

So the question is, does it make sense to switch to Viabtc to mine Ethereum or just stay at NH and let if convert to BTC?

thanks for stopping by.

If you tower works you can go cheap with 2 cards.

 low cost  I have used ones for sale if you are usa based

the evga 1660ti are okay and cheap from a good seller (me)

new they are 300 and a bit costly
https://www.newegg.com/evga-geforce-gtx-1660-ti-06g-p4-1667-kr/p/N82E16814487446?


they do 25-28mh each so 2 do 50mh which is about 50 x 3.2 cents = 1.60 a day you will burn about 350 watts or 8.4 watts a day

so 8.4 x 10 cents = 84 cents in power 1.60- .84 = 76 cents profit

so buying them new for 600 means  600/.76 = 789 days to break even
buying them used for 300 (from me) 300/.76 = 394 days to break even

other cards that are cheap that should be okay

new from newegg

that is a 200 dollar card

it does 25-28mh and uses less power then the nvidia

so same 50 mh with 2 but power will be more like 250 watts for the rig or 6 kwatts or 60 cents at a dime

so 50 x 3.2 cents = 1.60 - 60 = 1 dollar a day

2 cards for 400/1 = 400days to break even

All of the above is based on your rig fitting 2 lessor cards in and 10 cent power.

2 used 1660ti   300 out of pocket buy from me
 2 new 1660ti    600 out of pocket buy from newegg
 2 new 5500      400 out of pocket buy from newegg
1 new 5700 xt is around 400 if you can find them

Thank you for the invite to this thread Philip, I see it's got about a billion posts in it, so I'll backpeddle a few screens and see if I can jump into the conversation without spending 3 months catching up on the whole thread LOL. 

By way of introduction to the group, I'm Farns, and I'm relatively new to all this - by that I mean I've been reading/watching/listening for about a month, any information I can get my hands on, and contemplating setting up a little basement rack to try some mining.  Philip invited me here from the bitcoin mining forum to chat about mining alt coins with GPUs here.  I've been looking into that as well, and trying to understand the performance ratios of different cards, and coin possibilities of different cards, and thinking about resurrecting an old i7 mid-tower that's not been doing anything for a couple years and seeing if it can hold a couple new GPUs in it.  I'll try to crack that open this weekend and have a look. 

I'm seriously considering making some investment into this in the coming year, but I'm working through my due-diligence on the subject.  Still tons to learn, but I've digested more information about crypto in the past month than in the past 10 years combined, and I'm fascinated by it all.  Looking forward to meeting you guys and seeing if this turns into something for me :-)

I use nice hash with some xmd rigs and windows

I use simple miner and mine to viabtc.

when i use simple miner to nice hash my rigs would freeze and need hard boots to fix


they don't freeze much with viabtc.
also viabtc now pays at 0.2 eth vs 1.0 eth

I am very close to fully paying off my cards.

I am also selling the older cards

Do you mine with NiceHash OS, NiceHash Miner or some other solution? I had issues running NiceHash OS on 3 different motherboards, I'm not a fan of their Windows based miner, so I was using SimpleMiner OS to mine which was giving me a lot of restarts and system crashes. I have no issues mining on Ethermine or ViaBTC (only mining there 24 hours so far).

Ive been mining into Nicehash for the last 6 months, is ViaBTC better?

no they say rig is 259

but if I had a gold or plat vs the bronze I would have the rig way under the 281 it is.

What did SimpleMiner say? It looks like 229W?

I was paid today so it does seem to pay at 0.20 and above now.

I also got my third 3080

some photos
psu is a crappy bronze I use for testing
at the wall 281 watts

they adjusted to .2 today I will see if they pay today.

Can you adjust the payout on ETH to .1 or are you limited to 1 and above?

I use viabtc since I mine to them so the predictions are very close to what I really get.

Yah I am an idiot.  Didn't realize the default hashrates WTM used were all messed up

wrong if you mine at viabtc eth pays far better.

Does anyone know if the calculations for ETC on Whattomine are correct?  Looks like daily revenue is double.

yeah you should be able to sell them.

this was a nice little run July to Dec.

I have put all my 470s, 480s and Vegas for sale - hopefully I wont be tempted to be jackxxx 

Shipping to overseas wont make sense, unless you're buying from Singapore.

Well now is the time to look for used gear sold by reliable miners.

I know a guy that does not rip off by jacking prices to the moon.

 (surprise it is me)

The European market is identical,  nothing available, this also for Ryzen processors ,
