Title: Can I mine with my setup? if So, whats the best miner and pools for my set up?
Post by: Digital Drug Lord on January 05, 2018, 12:56:19 AM
kind of new to mining I own some coins, but here is my set up

 Intel Core i5-7600K Processor 3.80GHz; NVIDIA GeForce GTX1070 8GB GDDR5 VR Ready; 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM; 480GB Solid State Drive

I bought it for VR but have noticed the VR is making me sick so I want to use this to mine.

Can someone recommend the best coin and miner to use for the best profits?

Nicehash seems to be making me the most with a single GTX 1070. About $4/day. Pays in bitcoin. Use internal Nicehash wallet and you can withdraw directly to Coinbase now without any fee. Minimum payout is .001BTC, so you could get a payout within a week maybe.

Other than that there is EWFB's CUDA Zcash miner you can mine Zcash or Bitcoin Gold with. I like nanopool for Zcash and I couldn't find a good pool for Bitcoin Gold, not saying there aren't any.

hey thanks for the reply! I just downloaded it and it said I could make from 3-4 dollars a day it kep changing...

so the only way to stop the fees is to send to a coinbase wallet? can I send to an exchange wallet?

what about mining for other coins and actually getting those coins like 20-30 a day of some 1 cent coin that will go up in price one day? Im going to try this nice hash out to see how it works

You've got a pretty decent CPU as well that you can mine Cryptonight coins with. Electroneum, Monero, Intense etc. Should be able to get $0.5-0.6 a day from it.

That was a joke right?
Who would keep his rig on for 24hours just to earn 0.6$?
You will probably pay more electricity than that.

By the way, just adjust the VR headset's lenses properly, wear your glasses if you need to.

You can pool mine etherium using your GPU, nicehash has good reputation (but recently hacked).

A lot of people actually mine with their CPUs. If you're mining with GPU(s) then your rig is on 24/7 anyway. And 7600k mining cryptonight consumes 50W at most while doing 200+ H/s. It's a waste to have it and not to mine with it.
