Hi,

I think the current ETH difficulty increase and price drop is making some people (including me) thinking about switch to mine (GPU) an other coin instead of ETH.

Which one(s) would you suggest to being more profit now?

I know, that there are calculators, but I know only my ETH hashrate (which is nearly 200 MH/s with 8 x NVIDIA 1060). How can I convert 200 MH/s into hashrates for other coins?
Or what you think it would be and which coin would you suggest for GPU mining?

I would suggest downloading the NiceHash miner and running the benchmark. That will tell you your rigs hash rate for different algorithms. You can then use a profitability caluculator to see what are the best coins to mine.

Thanks for that info Vann!

I think that here are some people which already did switch? So can somebody say "the right coin" to switch to get more profitability? Or is ETH still the most profitable?
I know, that this can change from day to day and nobody knows the future, but maybe there are some hints just for now?

hi
i personally switched to ethereum classic (etc).

Does ETC bring you currently more profit? Or did you do it because of other reasons?

because they more profitable instead ethereum.
check this link you can fill your rigs configuration her, but this is my profitable coin depend of my rig config https://whattomine.com/merged_coins/3-etc-dcr?utf8=%E2%9C%93&hr_etc=233&fee_etc=2.9&hr_dcr=3750&fee_dcr=0.0&p=280.0&cost=0.1&commit=Calculate

Muito obrigado!

whattomine say that zencash is the most profitable now with he recent drop, so mine that, ETH is a no go, after the diff will go boom, there will be no profit there, equihash is a better algo, to bad you can't dual mine with that, like with ETH

How to generate wallet for zencash? I tried it through Bittrex; however, their zencash wallet has been inactive since early June 2017 (few days after hard fork).

go to fucking drown yourself mr.profitables, you fucking bastards with fucking question, fuck you all retards!!!!!!!

You have to do some independent research to find better profit coins, but they can be crushed at any moment by miners if it becomes discovered.

There is no secret coin out there. Profitability went down for everything pretty much.

There are secret coins... but they are temporary.  You have to move quickly.

ai sim cara voce brasileiro entao. me cham no inbox a gente  conversa.

Noob question: Where i can learn more about this technique ?

I can't point you to a single thread or YouTube video and say "there it is."  It comes with experience, reading between the lines, reading charts, reading articles, reading threads... even when they are full of contradictory information, reading, doing, experimenting, testing theories, reading some more, diving in, learning from the mistakes, and then reading more.

It's kind of like asking Michael Jordan "how are you so good at making shots?"

Not that I'm comparing myself to Jordan in any capacity... but his likely answer would be to "keep practicing."

There are no secret coins. Most new coins these days are ICO / POS, you can't mine those.

Switching software   flattens out prices a lot. 

Right now profits are simply low.  After August  the rally or true crash will come. For now mine zc and eth and pray

You should try Winminer and run  benchmark. It will tell you the best algorithm and coin for your GPU/CPU .

Nexus and Spreadcoin are good for nVidia but you need to learn how to mine without a pool. Check sp thread )))

use another exchange or wait until they fix the maintenance status, or download the local wallet


not that hard, just do this config, rpcallowip=1270.0.0.1, rpcuser= user, rpcpassword= password, rpcport= you choose here, server =1

I don't know, so I switch from ETH/ZEC to nicehash ::).

Are you speaking about mining? If so, I believe that Ether is better than other Altcoins.  Here’s why: 1) The switch to POS (proof of stake) is near. Meaning that soon it would be impossible to mine Ethers as we do now. So better mine, while we can. 2) I believe that after POS, Ether exchange rate will rocket up. So, your mined Ethers will eventually give you great profits.

Will ETC also go POS soon?

Whattomine is your best bet to get a feel for which coin to mine and will give you an estimate of the hashrate for each algorithm. It's generic, but relatively accurate. Generally speaking, and depending on your hardware, ETH will come on top based on current price, difficulty etc.

That said, ETH, ETC, ZEC and monero are good alternatives. Monero is actually a pretty stable no-fuss coin that also draws a lot less power. Its price fluctuates, but not as hard as others.


No. At least, not yet. They said that if PoS is successful for ETH, they might consider it, but for the time being ETC will remain PoW.

Let me tell you a cool story: "POS" rocket story dev's are promising noobs since 2013; nothing will happen if the coin goes POS. miners will stop mining it = interest goes away= investors will leave = coin stays +- same value or dies
Ethereum is just a hypecoin like all the rest in the past.
Only bitcoin will survive after the big crash that is coming.

After the crash most miners will leave and sell their rig => Btc will rise again after some time
=> New minable coins will come and the circle begins again

Just mine and sell, wait for new coin with high value, go to next
