Title: My first mining equipment :)
Post by: serfeve on December 27, 2017, 11:44:24 PM
Hello everyone, I am writing from Spain, after a few months researching I will do my first rig.

To say that I do not pay for light, that's why I want to try.

The team that I will do is: 6x1080ti

A total investment of: $ 4000

Nicehash or better I take some coin like: Zcash or Monacoin?

Thank you and sorry for my English.

Nicehash is a good start, however, I couldn't pullout my 1080ti rig to ZEC

If you don't pay for light, just like me, I advise you to buy some second hand old AMD card, such as R9 290 or R9 390

It will cost you nuts, and you'll have a great mining power

That's what I did and I managed to settle some really cheap rigs, which are very profitable

Good luck :)

Hi mate. As far as I know the price of electricity in Spain is not really competitive. Unless you are kind of "borrowing" it I would not bother going into mining.

because amd and not nvidia?

I can get much more performance to a 1080ti, easier setup.

According to whattomine, 4x 1080ti, I recover it in 5 months.

NiceHash is a great service to use but the question you should be asking yourself is : If it's worth it for someone to buy your hashing power to mine something, wouldn't it be better for you to mine whatever they're mining yourself?

That's what I keep asking myself.

Maybe you can try new coins :

Don't limit yourself to what you see on whattomine.com

How can it be mined there? I would like to mine PinkCoin.

Thank you. :)
