Topic: What is your favorite/greatest mining moment? (Read 353 times)
As of right now my favorite coin to mine/support is Monero. Even tho i use a single Nvidia card and a ryzen 7 1800x i mine Monero. They handled the release of CryptoNight ASIC like god damn champions. I dont care about the profitability right now, i just want to suppport and secure the chain.
I mined 10k ETN on the first day it launched with 1 x rig 
Believe it or not, greatest mining moment for me is Monero and other cryptonight coins forking to cryptonight V7 and ".|." message to shitmain
I had the similar moment. The profit just lasted two days though.
Profit didn't matter, just the message mattered, matters and will matter!
The first time I started CPU mining Bitcoin way back in the day and saw the successful hashrate and shares accepted pop up on the screen. I really didn't have any idea what I was doing at that point, and neither did almost everyone else. It was certainly a fun and educational experience that I will never forget.
mine was joining together with a friend to mine on ethpool just before the byzantium fork and we got pretty lucky completing our block reward and hit an uncle block.
Definitely the Zcash launch. Made 5 BTC in 2 hours of mining at launch with the ridiculous prices on exchanges. Good trimes!
Mine is the same as yours. Zcash mining. I mined for like two hours with a few processors and sold it for 0.2 btc hahah.
That was a good afternoon. Shame now it almost not worth to mine anything...

lots of memorable moments...mining Bitcoin with my dual core desktop PC i used during university times 
but most memorable from most recent time was when my surveillance cams went down in the location my rigs are working and 5 mins after it all my farms went down. first thought - burglary
it was half past 11 in the evening on friday. called uber. took my baseball bat. took my brother in law. he took his bat. you should have seen the face of the uber driver as he saw us. 2 angry guys with baseball bats on back seat....
came to the location to find out that my ISP was having fun with its network...

That's quite a story mate. I guess I would have the same thought exactly if this would happen to me

my favorite moment is why two different rigs, plugged to two different wall connectors just freeze one after the other with no link between them.

Mining signatum and dumped my shit bags at the all time high at 14 cents to the unfortunate noobs that got hyped up over signatum.
And laughing as it goes to zero.
I still got half of my bags left in case it ever revives
Also mining chaincoin at 6-10 cents and watching it go towards $6. I unfortunetly held most of it
Thats shitcoins for ya.

I'll second you on SIGT. I mined and traded it when it was climbing up while watching Discord channel hysteria. Sold everything @ 4800+ and couldn't be happier
I think great moment of mining discussion on process.The best moment in life was also the worst moment in life The day i met her.it filled me with happiness and took my soul away. I will never be the same favourite mining system.there is no point to mining bitcoin. At least if you are trying to make a living off it. However. If you still want to mine a crypto currency or even learn a bit more of the subject, there is hope for you the great think of mining business.the mining units, which turn out to be a good profitable source. Bitcoin is still profitable for those who have very less price for the greatet value mining process.
My favorite moment so far was when I actually followed though on selling some of the coins I mined in order to pay for expenses such as internet and electricity. My wife nagging finally made me do it... You know what they say, "happy wife -- happy life" lol
I think it also will be my moment, but i missDifficulty not be recalculated quickly when algo changed to V7
My greatest moment was about two or three month ago, when I mined with my amd rig IPBC coin in a launch date and mined about 90k of coins. then in a month I saw it on exchange ant he price was more then 1k satoshi, I sold 30% of my holdings, and then the price humped 4x times ))) I sold all! so one day of mining give me the very good profit!
My best mining moment may December of 2014, mine XPY (Paycoin). In Miningrigrentals, NiceHash, WestHash, SHA 256 Algo full of rented. Renting price rises to 500%, may more.
My first one hour, I spend 0.17 BTC (for renting hashes), one hour after, I got almost 2 BTC. Short story, in that two weeks my total profit around $ 30,000.
Maybe someone still remembers this moment? GAWMiner?
Other best moment, when I'm using Antminer S1 on BTCGuild.
Oh yeah...also zcash moment, I started mine from test-net (using my VPS), damn. I have been ready when genesis block launched. (I started from zero)

My greatest mining moment is last September. At that time, I thought I have been mining ETH for a while, so I should try something different, and I spent almost 3 days to search for at least 2 other altcoins to mine for 2 weeks. And luckily I picked the right coins: Feather coin - an old man in crypto, and XZC, both of these 2 coins have very low difficulty that time. I just mined them in 2 weeks (maybe 16 days) but the profit's quite a lot compared to mine ETH. Also, last september, my favorite Burst coin returned from death.
Great topic here. Wasn't as fortunate as some of you to experience massive gains (was ZEC really valued at $10k USD? Damn.) but i was very happy with selling half of all the ETH i mined at $1250. It didn't completely pay for my rigs but it got me comfortable enough with the remaining risk. I'm now happily mining with no intention of adding more rigs but am still earning a good amount to hold for when ETH goes POS.
Mining over 300k of ETN at launch time and then dumping it quickly when it first hit exchange while everyone else was trying to figure out wtf a cmd line wallet was.
