I guess everyone is just a day trader here

ive got an ati radeon 5800 i wish i could fuckin mine. my computer crashes when i run miner.exe

>>2237065
well i guess ati is AMD now i feel so outdated with this shitty pc. I'd love to be able to mine 1 eth per month kek

Just made payout and starting over on a new account that can't be traced to me.

I was stupid last week and set one up on Bitgo that uses gmail and cell number.

2 RX580 8GB

Currently mining 1ETH every 60hrs.

>>2237456
those are pretty solid returns for 2 video cards. also i didnt realise that you could SLI 2 cards from different models, let alone series

>>2237518
how much did your setup cost you? im struggling to find any of the cards you listed in my country (aus), i think the mining craze caught on down here a while ago

>>2237539
I started accumulating Aug. last year. The RX500s I got at the end of April. Overall I'd say I've thrown about 8-9k USD over 9 months into it.

>>2237534
You can't SLI them, they work independently.
I'm told SLI in not efficient for mining anyway, but I just stared last week.

How's power rates where you guys are?

Earning Gridcoin with 96 CPU cores, crunching some world community grid work units. Mapping cancer markers whilst earning money, not bad!

>>2237559

have you turned a profit yet from just mining (including power/equipment/etc)?

>>2237647
Mined over 100 ETH and 800 ETC since I started so yeah, I'd say it has already paid itself several times over, not to mention I can re-use or sell the hardware once it's no longer profitable.

http://pool.unitus.online/home

Join this pool and CPU mine Myriad+Unitus Yescrypt. It will take a while to find blocks because the pool is new, but the profits are high... Forget GRC and XMR for CPU mining.

Is there a newbie guide? Also is minergate a legit thing?

Why being so careful? Mining is not illegal is it? You make it sound like it is

>>2237750
i dont even know where to get started for this

ive only ever mined a small amount of sc and thats it

>>2236212
What are the clear advantages of using pool? If it involves other people - there must be a catch

470s 8GB and 480s 8GB are >$800 ea now and sold out everywhere I can't buy yet

gonna start with my 460 4gb. will it work at all??

>>2237808
You'll not trick me you spook

Is ETH useless to mine soon? Rumor I heard. Just started mining.

>>2236212

About 200 dodgibytes per 24 hours in a skein pool with my gtx970. It's a slow earn, but it's more worthwhile for me than buying dgb at 750 sats.

>>2237808
He's probably dodging his taxes.

Pay your taxes you nigger.

Follow up: anyone know of DGB mining with the 460? How can I calculate returns?

Minergate is built by the bytecoin scammers and skims like 30% of your hashrate.

For CPU mining use xmr-stak-cpu or xmrig

mining bros

how much difference does 4 - 8 gb make on the 480 & 580 models? they seem to be much harder to come across but nicehash shows a very small increase in equihash.

>>2238537
Changelly is made by the same people as MinerGate, are you going to say it is a scam too? I've used minergate for months and my hashrate is exactly what it should be, and earning are exactly what I calculated they should be.

Why live??

>>2238833
fucking hell thats bad. my 970 gtx manages to achieve 15 mh/s for eth

>>2238833
You must be using unpatched windows 10, GTX 1060 should do about 22-24mh/s depending on your memory overclock, get yourself anniversary update or even better mine something else, like zcash.

>>2238757
clock speeds is all that maters.

My 1080 GTX is only using 713MB of ram when mining

how good is a gtx 1080 for mining?

>>2239439
Shit compared to its AMD counterparts.

>>2239439
Nvidia is less cost effective but more power efficient than AMD cards, however one advantage nvidia has is that it's significally faster in certain algos compared to AMD. If eth mining bubble pops, nvidia miners will have more flexibility.

>>2239466
Stop telling them that. Once ETH goes PoS and the bubble pops, I will have bought all of the NVIDIAs :^)

I don't understand all these terms you use

>>2237456
>>2237518
how much does that cost you in electricity, I was looking at mining not long ago but concluded with running costs of the cards I would consistently make a loss and therefore was more economical just to straight buy up coins for investment than pay 30-40% more in energy bills for them.

>>2239641
if you live in a cold climate and run a heater then the mining can help warm your house and thus the power is negligible

>>2237794
this chart is bullshit, I lived in spain for 5 years and no im in the uk and my electricity bill in the uk is x3 more times expensive than it ever was there.

It was cheaper for me in spain running a 600W hps along with some LED veg lights than it is just to run my lights in uk.

>2011

its 2017 moron.

>>2239453
>>2239466
Thanks. Is it ever worth solomining on one gpu? Is that even a thing anymore?

>>2239709
Solo mining could be worth it for unknown coins, early projects where the coin is basically worthless and hoping it'll be worth a lot somewhere down the line. For example I solomined pascalcoin for about 2 days with gtx 1080, and got about 1500 coins, i abandonned mining it because gpu miner was garbage and could only allocate 1 gpu, but about 3 months later i sold the pascal for about 100k sats each when it hit polo.

But if it comes to any of the mainstream mineable coins like eth or ZEC no way, if you have one gpu you must join a mining pool, then single gpu can mine few $ of coin a day.

Awesome thanks. I'll probably pool mine, not sure how long. Electricity is decently expensive here.

So.... is it possible to do this on my home pc, with a single 1060 gtx?

I tried mining dgb once and I earned a whooping 200 dgb, like 0.03$ in an entire day mining.

I tought I had a powerful machine apparently not.

>>2240165
Yes it is possible, a single 1060 should earn about tree fiddy a day according to whattomine.com

>>2240170

Whoa that website is confusing, how do I plug in my 1060 6gb details? I have a 6700k too, if thats better for mining.

Not sure really. I think a day mining would make up 3.50 of electricity/

>>2240180
Simply put in 1 next to a 1060 button, click it, and then calculate. It will show you which coins are currently the most profitable, adjust power price to whatever you are paying the default is 0.1$ per kWh, by default 3 r9 280x are enabled so disable that one to get accurate numbers.

I believe that CPU mining is hardly worth it, maybe with monero but I'm not too sure.

>What are you mining right now /biz/?
Zcash

>What's your mining setup? Pool? Solo?
3 GTX 970s & some AVX2 CPUs on a multi-algo pool. No dedicated setup here, just using old rigs. If I wanted to make one, I'd use
>pic related

>Any tips and tricks?
Equihash is one of the most profitable algos for AVX+ CPUs, but AVX2 is about 8x faster than AVX for cpu nheq.

Equihash in general is one of the best GPU algos due to low difficulty of Zcash, but Ethash is booming due to ETH's bubble.

is $26 a week worth it for having a pc running 24/7 in your opinion?

Slows the pc down actually

>>2240253
This is entirely up to you anon, I have dedicated miners set up, I don't mine with my gaming pc.

>>2240158
Are you using stock cooler on 8350? Definitely get rid of it.

>>2240165
200 dgb is $4 you shit head

I've never tried mining before, but I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts on my scenario. Say I work at a college that has tons of computers sitting around campus that won't be used at all this summer. Because of my job, I have keys to everything and have a fair amount of autonomy in terms of how I choose to spend my downtime (which is about 90% of the shift), and I work nights and weekends during hours when nobody else is around. My coworkers are mostly baby boomers who have never heard of crypto. Is there a feasible way of profiting from this scenario?

>>2240565
But it wasn't before april, was it, you stupid retard?

>>2237456
How do you use this program to mine lite coin or Digibyte? I use a terminal now instead cause I gave up. But something about that program was better

>>2240596
You never said when you mined you fucking dumbass

>>2240743
I'm not the guy, but if you had any trace of reading comprehension and logic within yourself, you wouldn't spout out such idiotic statements.

>I tried mining dgb once and I earned a whooping 200 dgb, like 0.03$
Hurr durr this must surely mean he mined very recently and he's clearly a shithead given he doesn't know the current exchange rate is higher!!!1! Obviously this cannot mean the unspecified period in the past when he mined was before dgb skyrocketed!!1! I'm such a genius and everyone else is a shithead

>>2240593
Focus all pc's on mining LTC. I am currently doing it at my college.

I have a 4790k and a fury x, what should I mine?

mining zcash rn, is comfy

Just downloaded a shitty phone miner... Mined all night, $.0009... SHIT

How about we keep these threads to a minimum?
Don't want to be bringing more newfags to raise your difficulty.

>>2240593
Yes. Most mining software will allow you to mine on a schedule; you install the software on each PC, set up the config to run with your favorite hash/pool, and then set up the pool account to deposit to your wallet. Do your best to make sure mining traffic is encrypted though; don't want network admins to figure out there's mining software on their library computers then do a little digging to figure out who set it up.

/biz/ doesn't matter pleb

>>2240593
It is feasible, however be warned, your coworkers aren't as dumb as you may think.

>>2242796
they will still be able to tell what you are doing by the hostname

I wish mining software supported socks5 so I don't have to configure port-by-port vpn rules.

>>2240560
I'm planning on buying a new cooler. But also having a lot of dust in the heatsink doesn't really help either

>>2242940
1 miner alone can stock out an entire city.
I don't see how gpu scarcity correlates with the hype.

>>2239641
under $0.90 per 24hr day, but 3 hours a day I play games on it in which case only the 970 mines which still is in the positive.

Power here is 0.07 per KW

>>2243961
>Power here is 0.07 per KW

damn i would've quit my day job years ago if that was the case here

So I have two questions:
It's viable to solo mine with 4x rx 470 8gb?
Do you think mining will still be a thing after one year or two?
