Looking for talk (any at all) about Equihash algo used for mining, which is used by the upcoming Bitcoin "Gold" fork.
That should exist as a toppic somewhere inside the Altcoin mining section?
If nobody cares a damn, maybe Bitcoin "Gold" is not even legit.
Otherwise, it would be your third choice between ZEC & XMR.

You are correct. Since the NiceHash outage I have been mining bitcoin gold using the equihash algo on the suprnova pool.

IF you want to go for Cryptonight, stick with Vega56. and BC Driver

Max. 4 cards/Rig. More makes problems. Use the registry patch for voltages. Runs best at 1202 mhz GPU / 900-940 MEM @850mv.
My Vega56 run at 140 Watt each, doing 1650 h/s each with AMD-STAK-XMR,
or 1950 h/s at 275 watt each 1630 GPU / 1100 MEM with Vega64 Bios.

Check out the "monero and vega ultimate guide" post on reddit, I have 3 vega 64's and 1 vega 56 running generating 7700h/s on cryptopnight pulling 670 watts at the wall that includes the motherboard, harddrive and 2 addon fans.

you can seriously undervolt these cards man, theyre giving me great returns.

I'm fairly certain it's another SHA-256 coin. Although that's based purely on vague recollection from reading.

Money often costs too much.

gtx 1080ti do 750 sol with 225w
vega does 1500 h in moero with 180w
gtx 1080ti is best for equihash considering nvidia

I'm looking to mine either equihash (zec/zen) and/or cryptonight (monero)

Thinking of 1080ti for equihash (for best sol/watt and good mining density and hash per price?)

Also thinking of AMD Vega for cryptonight.

I have some questions

1. How is profit per power consumption currently for mining monero with vega vs mining zec/zen with 1080ti?

2. Is 1080ti the way to go if i got nvidia with equihash?

3. How does Vega 56 compare to 64 for monero? (price per card, hashrate, power consumption, and hashrate per power consumption)
