Title: Any multicoin miner??
Post by: Coinzzz on September 17, 2017, 09:39:08 AM
Hi,

I have a gaming pc i7 4770k + 1080ti was wondering about mining coins..

Is there any software where i can choose from a list of coins and then it will mine that specific coin, and is able to switch to other coin if i want to.


I tried nicehash but its 2.0 isn't working, always stuck at loading...

you can try the older legacy version of Nicehash, some have better luck with it.

You could also download Awesome Miner and configure a profit miner with it--it will auto switch based on best profit.

Most solutions require you to figure out what coin you want to mine then you find a pool and the pool gives you the correct info to setup the miner.  Start with whattomine.com and see what coins are doing the best given your hardware and go from there.

+1 for legacy Nice Hash.    I have a similar rig and with the legacy install it can not only swap between algo's but it also supports the newer miners that can mine two coins at once for even better profitability.

Does claymore not support dual mining?

Stick with legacy - Nicehash 2.x is borked bad beta software that should not have been released yet.

 Claymore's ETH miner supports dual-mining, and recent Legacy versions support that mode.

As others have already mentioned, Nicehash legacy is one option, if you manage to get it working. I had several issues running it and couldn't find its fault. You could also download a Claymore miner, Eth + Decred for example, the second option worked best for me.

ETH + LBRY seems to be the most profitable right now for my RX 470 cards, but that tends to change from one day to the next and sometimes one HOUR to the next and might depend on how you have your specific cards set up (some OC on memory better, some OC core better).
