Title: What are the best pool for small miners.
Post by: NielsB17 on October 12, 2016, 07:40:46 PM
I am personally just a small miner (probrably not the only one)
I mine altcoins on my computer i had before i am using this one.
Also i am mining on a 2 R9 270x which i am mining litecoin on on a total of 700 khs.
So should i stop mining, mine altcoins or is there any profitable bitcoin mining pool?


Thanks for any suggestions.

Bitcoin Mining with GPUs/CPUs is long gone. The favourite for GPU's is mining Ethereum. Checout the Altcoin section of the forum. There should be plenty of information there for you ;)

Yes, you should be looking into Ethereum or one of its variants, ETC (Ethereum Classic) or EXP (Expanse) to mine with those cards. Unless you have very low or free electricity, I don't think you are even making money mining LTC with a GPU anymore. Even with mining ETH, 2 R9 270x's probably give you what, maybe 12-14 MH/s each? So with two cards you are looking at a total of ~28 MH/s which will yield close to 0.14 ETH/day or around $1.70 before electricity.

As far as pools there are many. Ethermine.org, Dwarfpool.com, Nanopool.org, are just a few of the many available that you can mine Ethereum at. I think if you search the forum someone has put together a list of them all, but one of these three will get you started.
