Title: Are there any multialgo miners and controllers for nvidia cuda gpus?
Post by: flminer on February 26, 2017, 02:38:05 PM
Am trying to build a multi gpu rig for nvidia cuda gpu's and am seeing a lot of different miners for different coins but was wondering if there were any out there for mining different coins by switching instead of needing to have a different miner for each coin.... Thanks 8)

thanks. saw that though and he is using ccminer for 2 algos and cudaminer for 3 algos. are those miners included in his miner control? did not see anything there about that. appreciate it.

I just sent a long pm to you.

With quite a bit of info.

I am not anti nvidia  but you are working against yourself by trying to use switching  software with nvidia.

Nvidia is not well rounded like amd

you should think  2 rigs  if you insist on using nvidia

one all nvidia ------- stick with zcash

one amd ------- use switching software.

look here and you will see nvidia is good with zcash  better then amd

but amd is better at eth and xmr

Yes of course it's a all in one solution, all miners are included. Check the end of the topic to get the latest version (the first post version hasn't been maintained for a while)

I don't agree with you philipma, im using quite successfuly a switcher of my own design on my 10x 6x1070 rigs. Zcash hasnt been profitable for a while. You could stick to one algo of course, but you wouldn't maximize your profits. ETH and XMR are pure garbage for nvidia owners and has been for a good while.

Now to LEARN mining, and all it entail (and if you have only 1 rig), i can't recommend enough to stick to one or 2 algos at the most like philipma justly said, because you need quite a bit of knowledge about algos, pools, tradings, exchanges, wallets, and so on to be proficient with multi algo switching.

At it for 6 months, and still learning tons of stuff everyday. It's a huge world !

Good luck.

Hi @flminer ,

you can do it also the simple way - use nicehash and get paid in BTC,
no need 2 mess around with the alt-market.
