Title: What are you currently Mining and why?
Post by: Mister305 on February 21, 2017, 03:03:07 PM

I'm currently mining on Monero. Bcause it's easy to mine with minergate software and that software support for windows 32 bit  ;D
Windows 32 bit is such  :( only couple of coins that can be mine using it

I haven't mined anything since the Dogecoin or Auroracoin days. I remember I had AUR worth 1.2 BTC back then, and I didn't sell at the peak because I was a delusional noob that expected even more gains, so I ended up selling the 50 something AUR for less than 0.1 BTC... im still bitter about that.

I made 0.5 BTC with DOGE tho.

I haven't bothered with mining ever since then. I may start mining new random alts once I buy a new GPU.

zcash with the last sp mod is good but you need to pay for it, i heard it can go to 500+ sol per second, i'm also juming from lbry to zcash to pascal, all these have equal profit

Actually I'm planning to mine with bitcoin in the first place but upon knowing that it is not appropriate with my country. I changed my decision and tried to read some helpful guidelines. Right now, I'm into planning to buy harware for mining monero + ETH. But I'm still into thinking if I can have my ROI very well for mining for both of it.

Have you heard about brustcoin? I think they are worth mining and actually mining can be done with spare HDD space. I am going to give it a try.

I am currently mining Monero with Minergate, it is great actually while mining it. And aside from that I also do mined Healthyworm, and Bitcoin f course. Everyday is mining it then  I'll just wait and monitor it only while doing dome trade in the exchange sites.

Ethereum..
I don't think so. A lot of the new coin looks like the another shit...

Zcash still no the early stage with more supply will come into the exchange site to dump the price.

It's a tragedy, indeed. Wasn't there some decision to move ETH to POS? If so, mining that will end.
XMR has been profitable somewhat, if mined in 2015/16 and hodled. Time do dump now.
There are some nearly-dozen Z-Somethings out there, maybe one or a halfone of them are worth doing the same. Because of subsidy, the original definitely isn't even worth considering. 20% that is just hillarious!

Bitcoin.

I am using the nicehash platform and all is automatically done. No difficult setup but maybe when I learned all technicalities I can try other system. So far, I am not very satisfied but its a good way to start with.

there's no profits with bitcoin mate if you will calculate everything you will see that its not worthy better to go and mine pascal or zcash or if you can study how storj and burst being mine with your hard drive but with btc there's no chance that you can gain you are just risking your device,.

there is a good increase with his miner, 10-20% you need to check his thread he make mod for 0.05 or so btc depend on the algo, right now i'm mining something else, zcash is not that good anymore, i see pascal is better

Minergate?! I used to mine monero on Minergate but it's not worth it anymore,earnings is very slow it's much more preferable to buy monero than mine it would take you months to make profit from mining monero or from coins being mine on minergate.

Well mining is mean investing on hardware miners, I don't make investments into hardware
but I made investing into altcoins are like ETH, dash, and the other altcoins,
I am not make investments on hardware miners because of the maintenance
 and it will taking my time for running the miners.

What you mean is Burstcoin,yes it is a good coin to mine,you only need an HDD to mine Burscoin and anybody can do this but the difficulty I read is much higher compare to three months ago,better check their dedicated forum for info about Burstcoin.

I was last mining ethereum and also classic for a while too, i was only making about 1 eth a week. Ive stopped now though and dont mine anything at all since all ive got is a single 970. Does anyone know if there's anything worth mining with just 1 gpu now or is everyone only using rigs nowadays?

Coinmarketcap does not know nothing about it. Nor does Announcements (Altcoins) tell you anything. A link perhaps pointing at that new miracle?
Here is ANN of burst they are pretty old alt https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.0
Coinmarketcap https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/burst/

Sorry i had used brust instead of burst  ;D

XMR, I believe in it and it's most profitable for me with RX cards.

are you sure, the diff increased a lot since the last time it was profitable with gpu again, but maybe you have an optimized kernel that do a very high hashrate, in the calculator even if you put 1000 hash for one 470 you are not doing much, and a 1000 hash for a 470 is a crazy value, i don't think it's possible

ETH, XMR, ZEC, lol...
The people mining junior coins that can easily go 10x or more... do not talk about it.

I can do 900-ish on a 470, but too much power. Anyways, I get ~3270 with Naomi at 440W from the wall... looks pretty good to me.

No optimized kernel, just VBIOS work.

900 is very good already, but pardon me but what is naomi?


ETH, XMR, ZEC, lol...

what junior coins? you're talking about hidden gem? i think profit is low on all coins now i was searching for something more profitable but can't find any, and the moment i found it is the moment is no longer profitable lol

Burstcoin! because the coin is all around amazing and i can use my computer while mining. Plus its easy on electricty!

I used to mine scrypt coins with my A2, but due to high electricity prices in the Netherlands I don't mine anymore.
Used to mine multipools mostly, and some coins at their release.

Now I sometimes use the GPU (Only have one :P ), but also only at releases, mined ZEC a while.

So currently nothing at all, just investing.

Post by: Rockie1234 on February 27, 2017, 10:23:02 PM
Nothing.
I mine nothing. But why? It's because the days of profitable mining are long gone. Nowadays, even if you are a large mining company, you still struggle to make profit since the Bitcoin halving and also just competition from the Chinese who have ridiculously cheap electricity.
Altcoin mining can make you money, but why waste your computer resources for such a small amount of money? There are so many ways to earn on this forum.

Ive got used to mine Eth when it was just starting and i didnt continue it because my interest was gone but i somehow regret on what ive done since price of ETh does really increase. Speaking as of now i didnt mine any crypto even on bitcoin because rigs are too expensive.

I currently mine few altcoins like monero, dash and eth. I started mining a week ago so I currently didn't calculate the cost nor I saw till now how much coins I was able to mine. All I want is to get a decent profit as electricity in my place is kind of expensive.
I used to mine bitcoin before but now mining bitcoin is only for the rich who can afford the latest and the best technology.

i'm currently mining monero and some cryptonote coin such as biker, bitcedi and karbo because it's cpu friendly and profitable for me

Best to mine ethereum right now, because it will be being bigger in the future. Ethereum is not just an alternatives blockchain. It's become the big foundation such as intel and others.

First, i mined monero using minergate software in my laptop.But i heard that it would destroy our laptop hardware. So i left it. Now, im gaining Mrai coins by solving captchas.

Solving captchas on earning Raiblocks isn't consider as mining? Correct me if im wrong but on this way we could able to earn this coin without the need of mining them.I just heard that they would hit exchanges that's why its trading prices do really increase.Im not mining any coins as of now.
