Up over 4% within 24h.

Used to mine ETH as foundation to cover the electric bill and then switch to speculative coins. Seems like I have to mine speculative either way what makes me uncomfortable.

What coins can keep a certain level of profitability in medium term w/o large swings?

do your own research

Then this forum is pointless and shouldn't waste precious webspace.

I mine ETH when electricity is cheaper here (at night), now mining ETH+XVG with claymore's 11.0.
During the day I mine cryptonight, now mostly Intense.

4% is nothing, ETH diff doubled since last month I made almost 0.01 ETH during the night, now half of that.

Let's just wait that those who just gave $500 for a AMD card realize they will never pay back the investment + electricity and stop mining  ;D

ahh well if that's what you think you are welcome to leave, but don't come on here like some self entitled retard expecting someone to tell you what to mine when you didn't even bother to do fucking research like a lazy ass, its all too common for noobs like you coming on here asking the very thing you are asking day in and day out, its annoying as shit.

By most accounts, BTC is the very definition of a speculative investment, so if you are uncomfortable with speculation you probably shouldn't be in crypto at all.

That said, there is a service that is geared specifically towards those that want to mine but can't be bothered to research every (or, really, any) of the coins out there: NiceHash.

Before this happened I told it would happen and trolls laughed at me, now they are seeing the reality and are wondering whether to commit suicide or not hehe, yeah the only satisfaction we will ever get from those who paid $600 or more for a rx series 256 bits. Where I live noobs are still buying rx 580 for $1000, so that makes you wonder how dumb/mindless they are.

I am willing to sell my cards for this price :)

I mine ETH on my gtx 1060 rigs, too lazy to research and switch, I believe ETH is the most profitable coin for gtx 1060 and 1070.

Dude you're rambling, seriously get a fucking life.
Many people here have mined for longer than you've been a member of these forums and have ROI'd many times over.

Now go away.

I only mine ETH with AMD cards. I'm mining Luxcoin with a 1080 TI, 1080 and 1070. Seems like a coin with a good Dev team and roadmap. With a 1070, you should get ~$2.40/day mining LUX vs ~$1.80/day mining ETH.

There are a lot of more profitable coins than ETH (mining with AMD)

They are all shit coins. When I want to mine a shit coin for quick cash out I pick a whore coin that's been fucked and it's not worth keeping.like xvg


You can sell xvg and not look back it will never be like a high priced coin

I don't disagree, but we could also point where to go...

Good Resources are

I also found the benchmark for nemo or megaminer was very cool.

good luck.

Please leave our forum if you are going to use language like this. It is degrading to most normal people.

And we wonder why Crypto gets a bad name....

On second read, i just realized you are the problem in our society, you, not your parents, not anyone else. You chose those words. Please evaluate your life and change your behaviors.

I am curious.   Not much of a tech miner, but I bought an eth rig years back and sold it along with the eth I made.  Serious mistake!  I could have been 30k richer.   Anyways, what are the most profitable alt coins to mine with a rig that uses 3 high end graphics cards?

Just rent the hash power and get as much coins as you can when a coin first comes out. Everyone else is doing it why spend money on a rig when renting hash power can give you masternode status?

Poor parenting

I understand why you are so furious, don't worry about it, I will not hold anything against you.



Whattomine is extremely slow, they only add a coin when it gets popular, people who profit big never see whattomine.

Thanks, Digital !  Never thought of that.  I going to send you a PM with a question if that's ok.

But yes I bought an Eth Miner for $800 brand new in 2016 that was plug and play and had 6 graphic cards.  I was make 1 eth a day almost.  I sold all my eth at 50 dollars each.  And the miner seven months later.  What a mistake!

It's funny when you trolls say it was a mistake cause you sold it low. Selling or buying at current price is never a mistake, learn that first then you are ready to play big.

If I thought like you I would have committed suicide millions of times cause I sold many things low to what that coin cost right now, btc for example, sold thousands for $5.

I do see your point, sir.  I guess Eth could have plummeted and I would have been at a deep loss.  Hindsight is 20/20 they say.  Just curious as to why you label me with a troll?

Sorry if I offended you, it was never my intention, when I say trolls, I say people in general.

And about what you said, yes, eth could have gone back to $1 from $50. I have seen that few times, right now is almost impossible for that to happen cause it grew so much but it could crash or grow in price hard, we never know. An example of a coin which reached $50 and then crashed to $0.70 is ltc in 2013-2014.

No offense taken, sir.  I got some good information from this post and am thankful.  Have a good day!

Oh and yeah, you never know with altcoins these days :)

If you want to make a bit more money from mining, forget whattomine ;). Cannot give away any coins, sorry :P, but use coinmarketcap and filter out non-minable.

4chan/biz can also be a nice place to stumble upon a nice coin ;D ;D ;D

I have two 1070's and two 1050ti's and everytime I look them up on whattomine it shows ZCASH as being more profitable than ETH. Hell, even Zclassic shows it as more profitable than ETH.

Im with mining more than half year and still too much to learn, anyway i already know that looking into whattomine is not the best way how to get best profitable coin. of cours it can be used for basic overview popular coins.

For those who said that are other coins more profitable than Ethereum for AMD Users...can give us an example please? Thanks.

You should investigate, there is always coin which can pop up from mass in the future but you need time to find right one. I stopped mining before 3 years but still have some old coins which are now up :) You should think for long term, not medium of low. But it's hard to find coins which will be much more expensive than today. ETN may be but you will need to wait months and you can easy gain 10-15x but be patient. That's my opinion, one coin, there must be more like that one.

 ;)

Most of you guys weren't around last year but exactly 1 year ago you would of been making exactly half what you are making today.

1 year ago nobody complained about profitability.

You guys shouldn't  treat mining as a career, part-time job to pay bills . You should treat it as a privilege and as long as its profitable for you, it's a gift.

The truth has been told

Well said. Crypto doesen't 'owe you' anything and bitching about profitability doesen't do anything. If all you care about is the current profitability on Whattomine and that doesen't cut it for you, the good news is you can sell your rigs now while prices are high and move on.

So... anything concrete about the difficulty?  ;D (in the past 2 pages was not mentioned all that much  ;))
Is it supposed to go up so much? Have been reading about that "difficulty bomb" implemented in the code of Eth. But I always thought it would go up unnoticeable... lately is very obvious that it has gone up exponentially in a short period of time  :(

Could there be a "bleed" in the rise? Or once it goes up it can never  go down again?

Well, the idea of this "ETH ice age/difficulty bomb" is ETH from POW to POS. I really don't see any reasons for the difficulty to climb back down again but who knows...

Difficulty is going up very slow in my opinion.

The difficulty is basically capped to the GPU fabrication which can only produce so much.

If GPUs could be built faster, difficulty would double every few weeks instead of going up 20%

so i went to coinmarket camp and filtered out non-mineable, what now please?  ::) i cam see long list of coins

Well, now you start the research ;D

Probably some new cards coming online that are a lot faster hashrate. We will see the diff keep increasing as time goes on. It will never drop back down

so many new miners joined after recent crypto prices spike and now trying to optimize their profits with price decline. I wouldn't be surprised if the amount of new miners calms down and the difficulty settles

Good day guys, I'm also quite new to mining been doing allot of alts trading before I decided to generate coins instead of buying them... I'm not expecting to be spoon fed on the matter but would like to know your approach when doing research, for trading the trick was buying low and selling high, buying the rumour and selling the news, buying a coin with a solid team behind it as it starts out in the hope that other people will also share your thoughts and in the process increase its value.

Now with mining same as with trading you obviously not targeting the most popular coins as they are popular because they are overbought, now in mining terms this is where difficulty comes in as I understand, global difficulty to solve a block and pool difficulty when it comes to handing out shares... Hope I'm still on track...

Is the general consensus with mining to target ‘up and coming’ coins? The problem I find with those coins are the pools are so small they never solve a block and thus never distribute the rewards or in some cases the mining software setup is a nightmare as it is not mainstream…

I’m not expecting anyone to disclose any coin names here but would appreciate a little elaboration on the word ‘research’ please, if you feel an open public forum is not the place to disclose state secrets like this please send me a PM and we can discuss, I’m willing to be part of a group, part of a community doing my part, so not looking for free information.

It will, because more and more people will mine lesser known altcoins with the hope they will grow big time. ETH is a safe bet in the cryptospace. Will it grow in a long term? yes. But it probably wont skyrocket and multiply its value.

Very bad advices ;)
The problem is the only research some people do is , type some numbers into a profit calculators ... and expecting a stable monthly income , and if that income going to get lower day by day what they saw in those calculators , they coming to the forum and starting to cry : WHY MY PROFIT IS MUCH LESS THAN THIS AND THAT PROFIT CALCULATOR TOLD ME  , WHY MY EARNED COINS ARE LESS AND LESS DAY BY DAY ...

Doing a research on coins to mine, is must to be more than just use any online profit calculators... You have to see whats behind that coin , what company, whats they goal, learn about they dev team ...ect
Need to learn, find out what is the better option... buy that coin and hold it, or mine that coin and sell right away or mine and hold it :)

Speculating about coins ... i think most of ppl have a different view on "things" , what i think, what i believe you probably say no thats not right never going to happen...

Yes i agree, i was playing safe with ETH so far, however im intereset in new coins, i dont play with calculators much, however any hint is much appreciate, as "do research" is too general concept...where to start when i filtered coins..? also im fine if someone PM me and we can discuss further.  i can see hundreds of coins which can be mined, i udenrstand i had to look further than top 100, but what i should look for? is not possible for human being to check every coin,so there has to be some initial pattern maybe?
or i found MIX or Akroma, which are not listed yet, they dont have price yet...are these shit coins or potential? all of us once started...

Truer words could not be spoken.

If you look at what is happening with BTC and Asic's eveeryone is pumping them out as fast as they can, and Difficulty has been skyrocketing for the last couple months 20% every 2 weeks. I think the price correction has slowed that down a little but not likely.

That's why I shifted my focus into GPU, I was lazy and avoided it last year because the ease of Asics being plug and play drew me in.

Unfortunately I waited 1 week to long while researching and got stuck in the shortage of cards, but thanks to Newegg, I'm buying 1 card every 3 days and my first one arrives tomorrow.
The plan is a 50/50 sell and hold.

My plan is to push through with some dual mining for the time being and maybe 1 week a month jump on some speculation coins.

Thanks, I appreciate this, it means so much coming from you.

You are still the biggest troll on this board. Telling miners off for making money. If only you had spent this time on mining rigs instead of trolling us you'd be much better off today.

I know I am.

PS: hehe.
