Thanks for your suggestions, but in meanwhile I earned the price of each 1060 again. Seems that you are real pros.

Hello,

as 3GB cards will soon be unusable for Ethereum and also Bitmain seems to bring ETH ASIC miners, I am looking for a good coin to mine.

What would you suggest?
Ravencoin?
Sell it while the price on GPU is still high...

I on your place would look for young promising coins and try to mine them, or with your weak power, the profit will be very small.

Only Zcash is the best option actually.
I'd say best option is any equihash algo based coin, just look which one is reasonable for you right here right now.

ETC then? Smiley

ETC has a higher DAG than ETH

Also you can still mine ETH if you put your mind to it.
There's always Windows 7, Linux or Windows Server.

Actually there is no big difference. Both can be mined by 3GB card for a year. So question does not make sense.

EXP or music coin come to mind and you can still dual mine from those forks.

Should ASICS show up, cryptonote is another option, 1060s with the right clocking get decent hashrates for relatively little power use. You can use something like cryptunit.com to check which cryptonight fork is doing the best at the moment.

Ethereum is a good option now, but if you want better profit you can try to find some new coins. Sometimes you can get good return from those new coins, but of course you are taking big risk compare to mining popular coins.

Only Zcash is the best option actually. Some friends of mine are doing experiments now with worthless coins actually like bytecoin. For real miners zcash is the most viable coin to be mined with these cards for the moment. With dstm miner each of these cards overclocked via Msi can achieve 310 sol/s so 8 of them are almost 2500 sol/s which is a good amount of hashrate.

Yes, it's my own rig. But it is with 8 x 1060 GPUs. So as far as I know, 8 GPUs does not work in Windows 7, 7 are max., right!?

If this is a dedicated rig and not your home computer.

Then just install windows 7 or Linux and your 3gb should work again for a few more months.

Don't you think, that they would be also good for mining Ravencoin?
I did look in that tutorial and it looks interesting too with 1060 3GB: http://1stminingrig.com/how-to-mine-ravencoin-rvn-with-amd-nvidia-gpu-and-cpu/

As the fact that 1060 3Gb doesnt have much intensity, so I think the best choice is still keep mining Ethas algo (ETH) and Equihash (ZEC).
I'm not sure which is your GPU, but my EVGA 1060 3Gb could hash 24mh/s. The profit is not much now, but it's ok.
