Title: What to Mine?
Post by: luiggybit on May 27, 2017, 09:41:01 PM
Hi all!, I was doing a very big research in the past 2 weeks, but cant decide what is better to mine right know using GPUs...

Currently I have 2x1070GTX (planning to get more)... and I'm mining at zpool, using nemos (.bat) batch, for mine the most "profitable" coins... (btw is this working ok?)

Is this the right way? or I'm missing something, I have to say, I'm not new on this, I started mining bitcoin and litecoin 5 years ago (always using GPU) but then I take a break of this world haha...

Well... I'm aware of new cryptos like, ETH, MONA, and new algos like SKEIN, C11, BLAKE, BITCORE etc... also, I know that some algos are better with Nvidia and some others better with AMD.

I hope u can help me guys!!!

The best answer is to go to www.whattomine.com and explore their bajillion profit calculators. Their front page even has a setup with GTX 1070s, so just choose 2 1070s and it will calculate an approximation of what the most profitable coin today is. If you know your exact hashrate then you can manually adjust that to be even more accurate.

Yes, I always take a look to that web, but in many cases the "Profitable" coins are fluctuating over the day several times... so I cant decide Which coin to mine.

That is the reason why I mine over zpool :P

Well you have a gtx 1070 so that means you have chosen the path of Zcash.

You can also choose one of the baby coins as you see in what to mine, personally id go with Zcash.

AMD miners go the path of Ethereum and it's clones.

There is also Monero, forgot about that for a moment, still id go with Zcash.

For reference the Big 3 are Ethereum, Zcash, and Monero those are the coins to mine AND Hodl.
