MINING GENERAL

Should I buy a miner?

Or can I build one?

>>2635808
You literally just use your gpu if you have a decent one to mine. I only have a 470 I bought late last year and should have started mining then. Could have easily made $2000 on my modest setup.

>>2635808
Just use an old gaming rig and throw 2 - 3 GPUs in it. I did this with 3 old 970s I had laying around from other projects and I'm making about 30$ every couple of days in Ether using genoils miner and ethermine.org. free money.

I am interested in ethereum mining
is it viable or is it waste of time?

Got my newest 6x GTX 1070 rig running last week, getting an average of 30 MH/s per card. Hot as fuck though, 70C per card.

>>2635955
Whats your hashrate and how many shares do you get an hour on average?

>>2635992
my shit is only around 10-16$ every 4 days with my single card. It would be 16 but the price dropped and only got $11. The electricity is probably like $3-4

>>2635994
Hashrate is about 20MH/s on a properly configured and overclocked 970. Pretty decent considering you can get a used one on eBay for like $190.

>>2636020
and your rig runs non stop, right?
and how does exchanging ethereum for real money works? you sell it somewhere?
I am not fluent in cryptocurrencies yet, but I am willing to learn

>>2636107
I leave it on as long as I can usually. I've only been doing this for around a week and only gotten 1 payout so far but it went to my wallet. Eventually im just going to put it on bittrex, but to cash out you have to use something like coinbase.

If anyone knows a better site to use than coinbase please let me know.

550 MH/s on Ethash (profit targeting via miningpoolhub) and 10,000 MH/s Sia. for about 3.8 kWh.

I've been mining / trading for two weeks and have already made about $2600.. bit over one BTC... mostly by handing chumps FOMO bags. Great brand.

Considering my initial out of pocket was under $8,500 I feel good about this.

It's slightly more profitable to mine ETC

>>2636033
would a geforce 1050ti be better or worse?

>>2636299
I think the 1050ti isn't quite as good as the 970, but the 1060 is a bit faster I think.

>>2635782
I'm mining ETH, SIA, and Burst
However I 'm thinking of turning my 4.7TB burst setup into a storjcoin host until I earn enough to have 100+TB

Any opinions? Is it worth setting up a Storjcoin rig?

>>2636154

what software do you use?

>>2635782
Just switched from this pool for a few days to test Nicehash.

Can anyone redpill me on the best mining pool?

Also, fuck coinbase.

>>2636822
interested in this too. Right now stuck between this or Sia

Anyone hosting on either?

>>2636822

you can mine with HD? rather in gpu / cpu ?

Mining ETH+SIA 24/7
GPU: Single RX 470
Rates: 26.8 and 401 (modded bios + driver tweaks)
My rig draws 188 from the wall. I pay $0.09 for electricity per month. GPU runs at 66C, VRM at 74C.

I bought that 470 back in September, mainly because it good for DOOM. I considered mining, but was lazy to mine until may. Stupid!

>>2636837

Claymore's dual miner, and bios flashed 570s/580s tuned for efficiency (power costs are a bitch)... Anyone running 570s/580s there's a sweet spot between 1028 mhz and 948 mhz depending on manufacturer that causes the card to drop down to ~100-110 watt draw for a 1% productivity loss.

>>2636952

I like miningpoolhub because of the easy setup for multi-coin, single algo-switching. If Eth C or Musicoin or Expanse is more profitable than Eth then it'll automatically switch to mining them & exchange coins for whatever I want. Pretty sweet.. Pool fee is usually .9% but it bumps to 1.1% if you auto-exchange for profit maximization.

>>2637283
>470 for doom
me and you both brother.

How many shares do you average an hour? I usually get around 25 @ 27mhz, I got at many as 40 an hour when I bumped up clock speeds.

Can you post your trixx/msi settings and your card brand and it's ram brand? please and thanks.

I'm trying to get to the sweet spot without getting errors, my elpidia(sp) ram is supposed to be shit in my xfx rs 470.

Thinking about getting into mining, but still fairly new to the crypto stuff. I've been trading for a couple of weeks, and at this point I should be able to take enough profits to build or buy a decent rig. The real question seems to be, do I want to buy an ASIC miner, or build a GPU mining rig? Would mining trash the video cards to the point where they were not function playing games, or could the rig serve dual purposes?

>Whatcha mining /biz/?
Just ETH
>Whats your gpu?
Two RX580's
>What's your hash rate?
58.2 Mh/s
>What is your shares per hour?
49

Running Claymore95 on XUbuntu. Had a ton of fun building the rig and setting it all up, even if I don't end up returning on what I spent before ETH goes PoS.

>>2637340
Right now I have no means to check how many shares I have per hour, I think it's somewhere between 20 and 25.

I use wattman for tweaks, but I'm setting fanspeed in claymore, usually at 520-57% - depends on ambient temperature.

The card is Powercolor Red Devil 4GB with Hynix ram.

HWinfo show no erreors. Only occasionally it shows errors right after sturting the miner, but restarting helps.

>>2637396
gpu, you're late to the party cards are either outrageously expensive or sold out.
trash cards are ok depending on the power consumption but youll probably still be making money. Idk how hard it is on the cards but if you keep it reasonable cool i figure it won't hurt them. I expect mine to go back to gaming if i ever decide to stop mining, but at the rate it's going id really rather keep mining and eventually get an amd whateveritscalled when they finally come out. I'll probably be mining on both cards instead of playing games by then anyway because nothing worth playing has come out in a while.

>>2635782
I have this

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 Ti D5 4GB

will it work ?

forgot the pic

How much storage is "ideal" for Burst?

>>2637449
how hard was it to get claymore setup and mining on ubuntu, I just wiped my entire windows8 yesterday to hopefully get better hashes(didn't change much). idk if you tried windows but your shares per hour sounds pretty comperable to mine.

Thanks for being a part of the thread.

>>2637452
which pool have you been in? ethermine.org tells you on their site what your shares and current effective hashrates are, as well as the ability to change payout amounts (i set mine to 0.05 eth). If i found a better pool i might considering changing.

>>2637461
sure, google claymore miner and start reading, or genoils.

>>2637453
Right on man, I've been keeping up on the local market for cards, and I think I can score a few for under market price as long as I'm willing to drive a bit (1070s under $250 used, occasionally). I was thinking of going with 2-4 1070s depending on how much/how long it takes to find them cheap. Are there other, better cards I should be on the look out for?

>>2637464
mine if you want to compare.
Iirc hynix is one of the worst memories they can come with and people send them back, but I could be completely wrong. I know elpindia is a shitty one to end up with.

>>2637449
What brand are your 580s?
Does that even matter much?

>>2637499
>which pool have you been in? ethermine.org

Oh! Sorry, I'm too tired to think right now. Yes, I use this pool. It shows me 26 shares/hour.

>>2636546
1050 ti gets 14mh/s max 1060 gets 19-22

>>2636959
Could not sync with the ETH blockshitstain using Mist or Geth, downloaded over ten gigs and could not hold peers after being this deep, twice.

Sia chain synced fast and in the GUI, I believe less than 12 hours.

Monero took almost three days to sync, and would fix the necessarily corrupt database between BSOD resets.

Geth was much more fragile.

>>2637499
It was moderately difficult, I've only used linux once before. I ran into problems getting it to boot without a monitor, then I ran into wifi problems (ended up buying a really long ethernet cable instead).
>>2637552
Mine are XFX. The brand will make only a small difference. The memory size makes a bigger difference (8gb is better)

>>2637546
I'm really new at this so I cant answer everything, but when people were getting 470s for around 170-200$ new it was worth it instead of getting 1070s for ~$300 because the ROI was much faster, a bios modded 470 is almost as fast as a 1070. If you can get the 1070s for $250 i would say jump all over that shit, your ROI would only be a few months, then it's all profit from there.

>>2637513

is it easier / faster to mine for shitcoins ?

>>2637554
Thanks. I guess my shit is running about average. I wish i had blown the money on another 470 for gaming and been better off, it sucks waiting 4 days for a $12 payout

>>2637549
I also heard bad things about Hynix. Well, I'm yet to try this card at higher voltages. But just to try, because I fear for Red Devil's cheap VRM. And the fan is getting really loud beyond 57-58%.

I'm mining HUSH because of whattomine.com. There are like 2 pools available, I mined for 24 hours on each and got like 20% less on Aika pool then hushpool.cloud. Shouldn't I get the same amount if not more on Aika becuase it has atleast double the hashrate?

>>2637592
That's exactly the brand I'm looking at right now, 8gb too
It's the cheapest I can get in my country since apparently people don't really know the brand
The only real issue I read about is it might overheat in some circumstances

Did you try mining with it on windows before switching to ubuntu? If so what were your hash rates?

>>2637592
I've got a screen I can use to set up the monitor and an ethernet cable already connected, I just don't know if I want to waste 4-6 hours setting it up only to gain 0.010 more hashes, if even that.


>>2637618
sure, but there are no profits there unless it moons.
I was mining monero, but without being able to see my contribution to the pool and a payout limit of 0.5 monero I was looking at spending 1 week or more before I could tell it was happening, and earning $20~ for mining all that week. I can get better ROI from mining eths.

>>2637658
i've got my shit undervolted by -25, i've went as far as -75. it lowered the wattage from 80 to around 70. it's at 75-76c right now.

>>2637549
Thanks. I forgot to add that I'm using 17.1.2 drivers. Don't know if that matters.

About HWinfo errors: I'm getting a lot of errors if I set 1099 or 1101mhz instead of 1100 on core. The same thing for the vram. Weird.
>>2637464

>>2637678
I did the BIOS modding on windows, the hash rate was about the same.
>>2637689
If you enjoy programming/computer shit its worth it. Also if you don't want to deal with cracking windows.

>>2636959
I'm mining both at the same time with the claymore miner

>>2637722
set them in increments of 25.

I think it's suggested to use the 16.9.2 drivers from everything i've read, pretty sure that amd made it so the cards werent recognizable with any of the newest drivers if you had a modded bios.

>>2637741
I do like playing around on computers, but Im just using my gaming rig as my setup and don't need to crack windows. I might as well just keep it windows then if it won't really make a difference. Thanks for the info I've been looking for it for a week.

>>2636965
Burst mining uses hard drives so it's ASIC resistant
I've got a refurbished 3TB that I'm using right now to mine with 1.7TB of etc. space on my system
Aparently I could be earning more by using that space for Storjcoin

>>2637689

there are a few Radeon RX48 cards around me on kijiji / craigs list.
~450 CAD

this is better to mine with for eth?

how long till I make that $450 back ?

>>2637779
No problem. Also forgot to mention the obvious: Ubuntu is much smaller than windows and can run off of a flash drive. For you it won't matter but it saved me some money when I set up my rig since flash drives are much cheaper than SSDs

>$0.09 for electricity per month
fuck, I mean $0.09 per kwh

>>2637789
they do like 29M/hs at around 110watts.
google Eth mining calculator and put those in along with your electrical prices, hit calculate.

>>2637821
>fuck, I mean $0.09 per kwh
$0.15 here

>>2637811
>For you it won't matter but it saved me some money when I set up my rig since flash drives are much cheaper than SSDs
I'm seeing 32gb SSDs for $22, only saves a few bucks really and the SSDs are much faster

Am I missing something?

>>2637848
Dunno maybe I'm dumb but I don't think the drive speed mattered for mining. My flash drive was $10.

>tfw Fury X from two years ago at 33Mh/s for ETH

Minimum of 20, maximum of 40 today, average of 28 over the course of 7 hours.
Sometimes the reportee dips a bit down, the effective hash spikes to 36Mh/s or even 41Mh/s, and the average dips because of 10 minutes of downtime while I was at work.
If it wasn't for Vega, I'd get another one.

>>2638059

what you should do ?

i've been trading crypto for 3 months now

no idea how mining works

What do you guys do with shitcoins that you mine? Do you just trade it for BTC/ETH every couple of weeks? I'm worried about some of mine dropping in value overnight.

Any good guides for getting into mining?

Is mining solely GPU dependent, or does CPU factor in as well?

>>2638249
tons of guides on youtube and reddit

>>2636822
I'm thinking the same thing; video cards and antminers are sold out or priced out the cunt.

Burst, SC, and storj have the best ratio of ROI as of right now.

Gonna go balls deep on a 100TB setup the moment my crypto portfolio stops cucking me out of input capital.

>>2638249

Most mining is done with GPUs. CPU doesn't matter.

Lol what miners are you guys using? I'm currently using minergate but I heard others are better

>>2637482
As much as you can afford. 5tb externals and a barebones PC til BURST blows the fuck up.

>>2638368
EWBF CUDA miner on Suprnova. 30 shekels a day running dual 1080tis and 1070s.

>>2638368
used minergate for a while but its fucking garbage. using claymores now, ive tried genoils though, haven't tried nicehash yet.

>>2638430
What is wrong with minergate? I don't use it, but I just am curious. Is it slow, makes bad choices?

>>2638202
What do you mean? What should I do about the heat? I put a fan in front of the rig and I don't use that room in my house because it gets hot as fuck in there. I just remote into the rig to check on it.

>>2635782

SIACOIN & ETH

>>2638051
Increase your intensity bro. Make sure to do the math and see how much hashrate you trade though.

Fuck you cunts you ruined the gpu market, everyone on /v/ hates you

>>2638566
always crashed when i was trying to gpu mine different things or didn't mine gpu at all. a few other reasons as well. it's ok for a introduction into mining but you would really want to use a different miner for the next step.

>>2638726
I came from /v/. fuck those whiney trap fappin bitches they should have bought a gpu last year.

What the fuck is happening with Zpool? They dropped the pay rate just because they wanted it.

>>2635782
What's the best pool for mining zcash?
I use Slush Pool, any advice of other? And why?

>>2635782
I would like to get into mining, but do not know where to start.

I am willing to build a computer specifically for this purpose.

Can you point me in the direction of good info to get started? Or do you have any yourself?

Thanks in advance...

>>2638330
>Gonna go balls deep on a 100TB setup
are you going to turn it into a 100TB burst or storj/sc setup?
I would imagine it's more practical to do burst if you don't have fast internet.
It's also more economically smart to buy used refurbished hard drives as long as they're backed by a warranty. The one I got was backed by a 1 year complete warranty (if it ever dies they replace it for free) but by then I would have earned enough to buy 5 of them so there's no risk for me

>>2638867
>Can you point me in the direction of good info to get started? Or do you have any yourself?
google.com

Just bought a second 1080ti. Also have a 470 and 390 going I had lying around.

I'm making about 100 a week (should go up to 140~ when the new card arrives) with the exception of this last week thanks to the drop which was more like 80 bucks. I use nicehash because the payout is decent and its pretty hassle-free.

>>2638368
Minergate is a bit shitty. The smart mining would be a lot more optimised if the coin list was much larger. I use sgminer for a few coins.

>>2637781
>Aparently I could be earning more by using that space for Storjcoin
Last time I ran the numbers (early this year) it was more profitable to mine Burst
The storj faggots removed their profit calculator, and you gotta experiment to see if it would be more profitable than burst

This is the noobest question possible, but I own my home, I'm single. My electric rate here in Texas is alright I guess. Would mining be profitable in the year of our lord 2017?

Doing XMR with my CPUs (including old ass Core Duo's and Android phones, I have "free" as in included in rent electricity in my dorm) and ETH on my few GPU rigs, Burst on all my computers with free space that hasn't been claimed by chink cartoons
I haven't actually bought anything with the sole purpose of mining, and I regret not doing it before the craze blew up this year
I mean, this it's a literal repeat from the BTC mining craze in 2013
It seems like a great idea to buy a ton of HDD's for Burst since I need them anyway since those Touhou soundtracks and H@H galleries need their space
>>2638102
AMD has never benefited properly from the mining crazes, the retailers/resellers/scalpers are getting all the profit
>>2638368
Minergate literally skims your hashrate/shares and freezes your funds for no reason, you actually can never withdraw all of it since a part of it will always remain in the "unconfirmed" balance, they actually have the balls of deducing the (((invalid))) shares from your balance too, and their GPU miner usually fails and shows astronomic hashrates for no reason
They're scummy kikes
sg-miner is good all around, genoil and ethminer are possibly the best for eth (and currently the most profitable), you usually have to experiment to see what works best for you
If you don't want to fuck with things just run nicehash, like minergate but they don't steal your hashes and you get paid in BTC
>>2639299
Sounds like yes, there's plenty of mining calculators out there, just input your rates and whatever equipment you have
Buying new equipment it's kind of retarded at the current prices, it would be pretty similar to buying ETH at the ATH

>>2639359
>Buying new equipment it's kind of retarded at the current prices, it would be pretty similar to buying ETH at the ATH

>tfw you will never be a retailer/reseller/scalper getting all the profit

>>2638683
I did. I wanted to minimize my ETH hashrate losses. I only care about "free" SIA

>>2639148
does nicehash have a mining fee and what is their pooling fee? claymores is like 2.5% and ethermine.org is 0.001 to tx anything less than around 0.5 ether

>>2639359
literally sitting on several duo cores without hard drives, considering doing xmrs on them. whats the hash rate on one of those duos?

>>2639597
On a Core Duo T2400 1.8 Ghz (32 bit only, SSE2, 2 MB cache) I get about 11 H/s using TPruvot's cpuminer-multi and 2 threads, on 1 thread I get 8 H/s
On a Pentium Dual Core T2390 1.8 Ghz (64 bit, 1 MB cache) I get 12 H/s peak and usually 11 H/s with xmr-stak-cpu configured with 2 threads, affinity, large pages and low-power/double-hashing
All of them on GNU/Linux, and all of them quite undervolted (I can't OC since they're laptops)
I don't remember what my C2D desktops do, but on the ones with 4 MB of cache it was like twice iirc, check the monero benchmarks site

>>2639644
is it even profitable right now with that power consumption?
my fx6300 can do around 120-150 hashes at around 150 watts(rough estimate) and i guess i should probably use it now while doing eth on my gpu

>>2639587
yeah its like 5% only total morons would ever use it or Minergate

Should sell my two 980ti's for one 1080ti?

There might be better deals but just brows around on amazon or other reliable retailers
no need to buy new because you're not really storing something worth backing up and the warranty covers all drive failures

>>2639930
Gotcha. But is a 3tb at 65 worth it when you could get a new external 5tb for 110?

What setup for internals do you have? Externals also have thse bonus of being easy to place and not limited to a space.

Not to deprecate, just wanting to get a mental image of the options at hand.

>>2640014
depends on your budget
the cost per TB isn't much different but I didn't have much to spend since I just paid for my next semester of college

>>2640014
>What setup for internals do you have? Externals also have thse bonus of being easy to place and not limited to a space.
just some cables to plug them in like normally and maybe an external rig if you run out of room. the sky is the limit.

Just be sure to keep the drives cool during plotting because that takes days

>>2640028
Ah, I see you too are a broke college kid. I'm using the next round of VA money, 1800 shekels, for this build. Would probably through another 5tb every two weeks til I was happy.

>>2640049
I've found it to be more cost efficient than conventional mining with just the GPU

You can use your GPU to mine burst from the hard drive too (instead of the CPU). The GPU can pretty much reach your bus capacity which is pretty insane

>>2640101
The fact that GPUs are a cunt to find is what turns me off, HDD mining feels like an untapped market with solid options of what to mine.

I think I'll fill a giga nigga case with as many HDDs as I could and then start adding externals. Thanks for the idea, man, haven't really thought of it like that yet.

1080ti
Gets around 30 to 35 MH/s at full speed. Takes about 165 W but the rated yep is 275-300W so be careful.

I'm just doing it to get some of my ti investment back.

been mining UBQ for a couple of days, probably gonna switch back to something else in another day or two.


whats with all the people mining with 1 or 2 gpu? Is that even worth the effort

I only have a GTX 1080, worth mining with just that?

>>2639027
with storj right ? with burst you will take about gazillion years

>>2639359
i have 3 raspberry pi, should i mine monero ?

>>2640458
Of course it is anon.

>>2640209
Exactly, the only coin in the market is BURST and that has like 35 mil $ cap at most.

HDD mining is profitable today as well, I'm told, but it has a real shot to be a legit thing soon. The prices and energy costs on this shit is very low compared to GPU mining. I'd gey my hands on a few cheap HDDs, just in case if it does get bigger.

Im getting only 6mh/s with GTX960. Is that normal? I've already ordered 3x RX570 when theres more available in the stock, but I would like to mine some with this before.

>>2640560

>>2635993

>>2640530
And when HDD mining takes off, BURST will assuredly follow behind. Best to be prepared and stocked up for the climb.

anyone tried mining myriadcoin?

found a 1060 6gb msi gtx in a full build with i5 6600 and 8gb ram for $625, thats a 4 month ROI I assume, Can anyone tell me if it's a bad idea or not?

What can I mine with 1 GTX 980?

>>2640657
forgot to mention.
i got the whole system for 15K USD.

ETH with 8 RX 580s and a 1080TI FTW3. Really want to switch elsewhere though.

I have a single 980ti. What would be the ideal thing to mine with this card and what should the hash rate look like?

I have a GTX970 and never use it. I also don't pay for my electricity bill.

Should I mine?
How much will I make in a month?

Comfy mining on a 390x here. Been thinking about switching from ether to expanse or ubiq. Thex have a similar profit to eth.

I know, I'm doing it wrong.

Win 10 with drivers from Windows update. Zero OC or any other tuning.

2x RX480 4GB
1x GTX1050TI
1x GTX1060 6GB
4x GTX1060 3GB
2x GTX1080TI (with 2 more on the way)

With everything tuned correctly based on current difficulty rates I should be making about 8 BTC / year.

But this setup is just to get something started until I have the chance to tune things.

What new mineable coins will have a chance to be viable? I only have one nividia gpu, one mid-end intel cpu, and 1.5TB to spare so mining established coins isn't an option.

>>2635782
Macfag here. I know fuck all about mining.

Any chance of mining anything at all?

>>2641794
You're better off tricking newfags into giving you bitcoins
I remember back in 2011 I tricked a guy on yahoo answers to use my bitcoin address as his miners payout address and I got like 2 of them from him before he stopped mining

>>2641861
Nice. I'm not surprised that worked in 2011, though it seems unlikely that it would succeed now. I'll keep that in mind though

I feel like shitposting with /biz/ on steem is more profitable than mining unless you have a mega rig. I have 2 AMD GPUs I bought before people bought them all out, and I still don't find it worth it.

"redpill" me on storj please

I have about 10tb of storage that could be freed if this is profitable enough.

Hey people, I wanted to build a 6 GPUs mining rig, I still need a lot more research, but wanted to know some other miner's opinion.

Do you guys think it's viable in the long run? I mean, I did some calculations in the past weeks and I would've made around 30$/day. But then even with the past few days relatively small drop I saw my potential profits halve (~14$/day). I am afraid that if I invest in this I will get assraped long before I can even remotely reach my ROI, which would be around 3 months according to my calculations. What do you think?

>>2640729
nanopool is good. no problems for 3 months so far.
protip: you can even set your own minimum payout.

I have a sapphire radeon 5970 is there any point mining anything? Its sat doing nothing these days so if it has any use i might as well try.

>>2644521
np

>>2644406
Its way too late to get in. CPUs, GPUs, and mobos are expensive as fuck right now. Also mining difficulty gets harder every day due to the hype and noobs. If you get in now, consider your money gone as your ROI won't come by early 2019.

When i try to mine on minepoolhub either through the programs they offer or awesome miner i get this error:

SC: Authorization failed

Stratum - reading socket failed 10038, disconnect

Is it worth it to buy a 1080 or 1080ti just for mining? I hear that they are pretty good at mining LBRY.

Can Gemini do Alabama? for some fucking reason only coinbase works for me every other top 10, 20 etc (((exchange))) lets me register but as if I try to buy GG

why do people use nicehash? it takes more resources and you get 10-15% less money.

God I'd love to build a miner only problem price of BTC and the GPU shortage.

>>2646293
>why do people use nicehash?
Because you get BTC directly instead of some shitcoin that fluctuates wildly
Also it's easy for casual miners who don't build dedicated rigs but just fire up Nicehash when they're not on the computer

Short: convenience

I can get a rx 470 for 170 should I do it?

>>2647642
No but they publish monthly earnings reports
https://www.reddit.com/r/storj/comments/68urzb/april_payout_posted/

Payouts are affected by both amount shared but more importantly upload and download, which is why you need fast connection

Bottom line: don't expect to get rich
They're competing with Google and Amazon that have massive data centers

>>2647556
All right, thanks. I have 5mbit upload, so I guess I'll be looking into burst.

>>2647661
>less than $2 for 2TB
dropped. Even BURST pays better than this.

>>2647642
>>2647661
The top StorJ farmer earned $347 for 1602194 Gigabyte hours. Assuming 24/7 sharing, that's
$347 for just over 2 TB.
However much of the $347 come from upload and download.
Right now there are only a few top earners.
StorJ said they're working on fairer distribution.

So I'm working in a tech company and literally today, my boss told us that they will start mining ETH in the basement.

>mfw

I have a GTX 980 and Windows 10.
I need an old GPU driver to mine ETH efficiently, right?

>>2643362
it's not a prebuilt, it's someone custom made i think.
you aren't taking into account that the GPU alone is worth $495 on newegg right now, that's the entire rest of the computer only costing $130.

can someone pls help ;w;

(above is the command i use to launch it)

I got a 1080ti, what should I be mining?

>>2651552
-U instead of -G for nvidia

also you dont have enough vram to mine eth, consider ubq

>>2651246
Heat ain't your friend senpai. I'm doing 27M/H on eth and 819M/H on SC and all 29 of my rx580 cards hum at 55-60C. if they are running 70 you're doing something wrong either dcri is to high or you fucked up your straps. 70 is to high also your wasting power and a lot of it. 70 C cards can easily push a room temp way to high.

>>2643243
If you have a amd 280+ or nvidia 970+ you can make $3-5 per day after electicity costs.

If you consider that worth the extra heat, noise, wear on parts is up to the user.

>live in barracks, free electricity, don't afraid of UCMJ
Thinking about setting up some kind of rig for 2000 or less.
Any advice? I'd probably focus on Siacoin.

>>2651246
they're ok to run at 70C and higher, but running them 24/7 certainly isn't the intended user.
turning down the power slightly will in many cases increase your efficiency by a bigger factor.
Depends on your application, of course. If you have a single card trucking away and no other in sight for weeks, months, or never plan to add on, go ahead and crank that bitch up.

Use open source clients and just read it

What kind of investment do I need to make to mine $1k worth of ZEC or ETH a month? And what GPUs should I buy?

I have an RX 470. Should I mine? Electricity isn't really an issue. I was debating between eth or zcash, any advice?

Whats your gpu?

What's your hash rate?

What is your shares per hour?

>>2652866
get a server psu, their cheap as fuck and work out to be cheaper than 2 atx psus even after all the breakout boards and wires. you can grab a 94% efficient one for like 40$ on ebay.

Long term burst miner here. Don't expect decent returns under 25 tb it's all about total space not ssd or any of that. Look at it this way this shit goes up you'll have tons to space to store movies in shit before Comcast owns the internet
