well i dont mine monero
but if nice hash is your gate
then nvidia 1060 dual mining with excavator on nicehash application is a go to for me now
find nvidia with 2-3 year warranty as all amd is 3 month warranty now in my country and the warranty reduction will soon be at your country

So is it worth to mine Monero with Mobile Phones like Motorola or galaxy instead of gpus?

Iam confused!I calculated here   https://www.nicehash.com/?p=calc for AMD RX 470 4GB, but H/s it gave me is 25 Mh/s for DaggerHashimoto and nothing avoyt XMR!
So...in this XMR calculator, where it ask Hashrate H/s, should i put 2500 H/s considering prior values as reference?

Wich one is the best GPU(considering mining power and ROI(return over investment, eletric consuption  per hour, to mine MONERO in nicehash or minegate site?

I can have eletricity at 25 cents € per 1000 watts hour between 8 am and 10 pm and 11 cents  € per 1000 watts  or per  1 KW hour between 10 pm and 8 am!

Can i use those GPU cards as externals GPU on my LAPTOP by usb or something? I heard before people who burn out laptop mining with  external GPU but that was for Bitcoin mining attemptives with that hardware, not with Altcoins!  ???What you experts  have  to say about it ? Roll Eyes



i think you can make compare by visiting in nicehash website and see for the GPU you mean, the link is on https://www.nicehash.com/?p=calc

i don't know if GPU cards be using as externals GPU on your laptop because as far as i know, the GPU is inside with motherboard and we can make modification for the cpu. i don't recommended to use your laptop to mining because you can burn out your laptop and its better if you build new cpu but with 4-6 GPU cards inside that cpu so you can start mining coins.

I did calculation for this ones AMD RX 470/RX 480 , with nicehash calculater for Average eletricity price 0.17 cents 1kw/ hour, it shows me  a RoI in a year, however it dont display XMR, how will i know the ROI for XMR?

I would not use a laptop for mining at all.

I have seen external GPU on a laptop used for gaming but mining for months constantly I can't see being a good idea and don't forget you would need a external power supply also.

You power cost is fairly high during the day also so maybe you could mine during the night as your nighttime cost is low I think. I am in UK and electric is very expensive here but I have the cheapest possible I believe 0.11GBP.

My opinion is if you want to start mining and you're already going to buy a GPU and Power supply then you might as well get a motherboard, RAM, CPU and a data-stick also. Wouldn't be more than 100EUR more and leaves you with your laptop to use.  Grin

The best GPU for efficiency would be probably AMD RX 470/RX 480

For hash rate probably AMD FURY, NANO, PRO DUO

Nvidia 1070/1060 I understand is extremely efficient and gives a excellent hash rate for ZEC/ZCL

How would an external GPU be bad on a labtop? To my knowledge thunderbolt to PCIe adapters exist and the adapter has its own wall outlet. My only concern with doing that myself is how to code the batch files and all that stuff to run off the external GPU only and not the internal GPU.

I have tried with little investment to buy cryptonote algorithm to mine XMR but when I configure pool and start mining its was not showing any of movement on statistics. It makes me strange.

I am still investigating why such pool mining is not allowed for XMR mining with Nicehash cloud mining for cryptonote algorithm.
