Title: ETH mining
Post by: ulano111 on March 18, 2016, 07:48:58 AM
Hello, I know that all guys here are professionals about mining so I need small advise.
I'm using BFGminer software and I have Gridseed 5,2MHs conected on the computer. Can anyone help me too setup this Gridseed on this software to mine ETH? If this is possible ?
My commands on the BFGminer are now  like this:
bfgminer -S noauto -S gridseed:all --set gridseed:clock=838 --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://scrypt.eu.nicehash.com:3333 -u 1JkQzrN3wPwiYV7vT2uWzNgBQsG1me91Ez -p x

This commands are mining Scrypt on Nicehash, but I wonth to mine ETH on anny pool if is possible. Thank you for help

you can not mine etheruem with an asic, you need a gpu rig, at least one gpu to mine etheruem, you can buy a cheap second hand 280x for this purpose, all the asic are worthless here with ethereum and decred

And can you tell me is this profitabile? When you take difficulty in consideration.
How much you can earn per day with one card? 280x for example. I have Radeon 7950 with same possibilities.

you can earn $5 a day with one 280x, probably more, remove electricity from this and you have your right profit

So after all i will find purpose for this card. I don't play games so this is only good solution now.
 Where can i find mining calculator to check this? When mining stops?
