Topic: What are you mining and why? - page 2. (Read 3700 times)

 Ah, but Bitcoin is pretty much ZERO return the last few years for GPU mining - ASIC got too efficient and powerfull too long ago  for SHA256.

 How many PPD are you averaging and how many Curecoin per day on average do you generate with that rig?

I've been actually folding and working on CURE coin.

I got dual 980 GPU's and an i7-5820k folding and making about the same amount of CURE -> BTC as I would mining BTC with just my miners.

Started mining Ethereum on my new machine - it was designed for combined RC5 (A10 GPU) / Mersenne Primes (A10 CPUs) / Folding@home (3 x GTX 950) work but I decided to repurpose the GTXs to mining for a while to help pay for part of the cost of the rig while Ethereum is profitable.

 Depending on what happens to DASH with the new but VERY LIMITED IN NUMBERS so far ASIC rig for X11, I might switch over to DASH mining for a short while once Ethereum becomes unprofitable or goes PoS and can't be mined.

 Once Ethereum and DASH are no longer profitable or barely break-even at best, I'll switch the GTXes back over to F@H and generate a few Curecoin while I'm at it.


 No, it's nowhere near an "optimal" mining rig - it's a "use what I got while it CAN mine effectively" rig.

I'm learning to like the EVGA PrecisionX utility. Tried MSI's Afterburner, but couldn't even READ the bloody display on the thing due to excessive use of tiny dark fonts on a near-black background, and a VERY PITA method for switching between vidcards (on my machine it was showing the A10 as the first *5* GPUs somehow, THEN the 3 GTX950s, then the A10 a couple MORE times - and very ANTI-INTUITIVE and mildly PITA method to switch between GPUs, as well as a notable less friendly UI in general).

 I remember using some other utility on a couple of my 7750s at one point (probably something Sapphire put on one of their driver discs) that I also kinda liked, but don't remember if it worked as well - and all the 7750s are in Linux boxes now so they're all about aticonfig any more....

I mining magi(xmg) , because ;Magi strives for every single effort to make mining be available to everyone, and provides an even playing field for people looking to issue digital coins without expensive equipment, i believe it

I mine Ethereum. It is still quite profitable to do so although not as profitable as before. I will not increase my rigs.

The net hash rate of Decred is growing fast now. This is due to the release of the dual Eth and DCR miner.

I mining Decred for few weeks, the net Hashrate not growing fast, butthe current price is not the best, i hope it will rising in the next few weeks...

I mined a few X11 coins in the last few days as they are the most profitable. I start to mine Ethereum again.

It is still quite profitable to mine Ethereum. So many people are building mining rigs to mine it. The difficulty is rising fast.

I recomend RoxoCoin, its starting now on the "Market"

The price has dropped to $10 now. So it might not be profitable if the difficulty double again in the next few months.

For the time being, it is very profitable to mine Ethereum, but we do not know how long that will last.

I only mine with GPUs. I can sell the GPU after I finish mining. But for the bitcoin, it is difficult to sell after it is not profitable.

Ethereum... currently better to mine ether than bitcoin.

I would mine any coin that make me most profit. I do not hold those coins, I will just convert them to bitcoin.

I gonna start soon, so I'll be checking in here

I also mine Ethereum. But I am thinking of mining Decred in the future as that is also very profitable.

I mine Ethereum at the moment. It is most profitable to me at the moment. I will try other profitable coin such as Decred later.

I also mine the Ethereum. The trade volume of this coin is quite large. So I can sell the mined coin in the market easily.

I mine Ethereum and sell most for Bitcoin. It is the most profitable coin to mine for my GPU. I just want to keep a few of that.
