Title: Best coin to mine with GPU at this point?
Post by: Blawpaw on November 25, 2015, 01:09:10 AM
Winter is coming. so I will need to heat my room. So I guess I'll do it by grabbing my old GPU miners and do some mining.

I have 3 old GPUs 1 x 5850 1 x 6950 and 1x 7850

What is the most profitable mine at this point?

Leave some comments and Links.

well check coin warz or similar sites to calculate profitability with you total hash power.
go for some new crypto coin and wait for its value to increase a bit, then exchange.
or go for a more stable alt coin. stay way from the very unstable value ones

For me it is the battle between exp and eth.

i think you need first to change gpu, you may take a look at the 750ti or the new amd or at least the 280x
etherum seems the most profitabe yes, but i would first look at new altcoin

Yeah... I've been wodering if it wasn't the best option to mine Expanse or ethereum but I haven't been able to get my GPUs to mine...
Can you please direct me to a good mining tutorial?

I'd say Ether mining is the way.
Ethereum mining with a modern GPU is like owning 2x $60 Antminer U3s mining 24/7 without any horrible zombifying every two or so hours.  Though the wallet is a bitt iffy to set up, you don't really need it, personally I just deposit from my pool 100 Ether every day or so to Bittrex. (It works!) It's really your choice though.
EDIT: Just saw your mining post. Personally I just use the ethminer program outside of the command prompt, I don't think you'd trust a link but it's around the mining sector. It's a .exe and a .bat that you run like an instance of CGminer.

Ok! Great. Now the only problem is that the OS on my mining rig is w7 32, so I'll need to instal the Windows 7 64 to be able to mine Ethereum or Expanse
