Hello friends,

I am quite new in mining crypto-currencies, so I have read a lot (but propably not enough) about it and tried it with my normal PC (1x GTX 580) for some weeks.
I tested some mining software for this nvidia gpu, and stayed with ccminer, and some multi-algorithm batch scripts for zpool and it worked fine.
Now I want to build a mining rig and want to use several RX580 cards. I already have 3 of them. These AMD GPU's can't be used with ccminer (because its for nvidia gpu's), and thats really makes me sad Sad
I found some software in this forum for mining with AMD gpu's but I am not sure which miner/algo I should use right now. I am also thinking about to switch to nvidia and sell the new AMD cards, or to use 3 AMD cards and 3-4 nvidia cards in my first rig.

Now it will be nice if you can give me some information what AMD miners you actually use and for what coin, and if you also have time, why you are using this miner.
So maybe this will also help other new miners to find a list of AMD mining software which exist right now (12/2017 - 01/2018). And maybe this list already exist but I didn't found it until now :/
Thanks a lot and happy mining Smiley


For AMD cards, I use Claymore Miner for Ethash and Cryptonight, there are also a lot of decent miner out there depending on what coins you want to mine and OS, Like SGminer, ccminer and Nicehash, there is also simplemining OS and Ethos for linux that makes life much easier but some is not free if you want.

One word - Claymore Wink

Depends on the coin you will mine. Search for "Claymore" and mine young coins for more profit in the future (like pegascoin).
