Bitcoin Forum

Hello everyone, new to forum. Just curious, out of those of you who are still GPU mining, what are you mining? I'm talking about your standard desktop rig not a  crazy GPU farm with 20" box fans in a basement. I'm plinking away at EAC, WDC and DOGE occasionally, but I've mined many others albeit few actual coins received. Also curious why you would be mining what you are mining. What are you looking for when you read about a new coin?

I mine Anoncoin as I like the coin - not purely for profit - mined EAC for a few hours yesterday and got 2010 but I dedicate my small rig to ANC - get about 1.5 a day - not a lot but it more than covers costs  ;)

Doge is more profitable now.

Thanks for the replies. So if you are mining Dogecoin are you mining strictly for profit to swap to BTC or because you believe it is viable coin? There is a great community no doubt and the /r/dogcoin is fantastic but I have serious doubts about the viability of its future.

I'm mining EarthCoin.

For more information and some free coins, check the link:

I mine on a multipool to get BTC, 1.4 mhash/s rig

Nothing at the moment. Let's just say I'm no longer an NVIDIA-guy!
So just digging for info at the moment.

I'm just starting to understand how alt-coins work.
I just started mining StableCoin yesterday because it seems to give me the most from my slow Laptop hash rates.
I've only CPU mined with a few Laptops I have.

Hello,

I'm currently mining scrypt coins (DOGE, LTC and so on)

Lots of luck to all

I'm currently mining dogecoin on some old hardware of mine. It's not very profitable at the moment, but with my computer always on at the moment as a HTPC, why not let it run?

DOGE, Gamecoin, catcoin

im mining dogecoins

Im mining mostly both dogecoin and bitcoin,i also used to mine lite and feathercoin...

i mine doges at doge.n0nplusultra.net

the pool only consits of two miners...so i was thinking if it finds a block i'll get a big part of it but it would be good if there were a few more miners so the pool will find blocks more often but i believe a small pool is just the right thing for small newby miners...

looking forward to seeing some of you guys show up there...

cheers!

Hi there! :)

I'm mining BTC on BitBurner XX, LTC on GPU and XJO/ZET/PPC on USB erupter... Just in case it will gain on value some day ;)

I'm currently waiting on my parts to arrive.. What do you guys think will be the best coin to make profit? Doge, World or just a miltipool?  :)

Stablecoin.

doge is profitable now. eac is also worth to try.

so if you are mining doge are you planning on holding or immediate xfer for BTC? I was doing the same but then instead of just sitting on the BTC i started buying shares in crypto exchanges and other projects as well as various holdings of other coins that can be had inexpensively. I just have trouble seeing doge being accepted 10 years from now.

I usually stick to mining coins that have not yet hit exchanges and although some are still yet to hit exchanges I've made a killing with my 2200kh/s mining coins such as COL, TIX, ADT, NET, LK7 and more recently DOGE and CAT upon release and before they hit exchanges.

What I do is more risky than setting my coins on an LTC pool and hoping for the best. And yes I've wasted days/weeks mining coins that will never hit exchanges such and BitcoinScrypt, TINcoin and the Sci-Fi coins(still holding and hoping on these) but its definitely safe so say I've done better this way.

I am always on the lookout for an opportunity to mine a coin that is relatively new and only available to one of the more obscure lower volume exchanges, this is how I made a couple of BTC from around a week mining Applecoin when it was only tradeable on the Chinese exchange btc-8.com.

Currently I'm mining a newish coin that has recently hit a newish exchange but doesn't seem to have as much attention as the DOGEs and the EACs. I'm keep the name of the coin to myself for the moment since buy orders for this coin are quite scarce at the minute so I suspect it might not last long.........

I am not mining, too much trouble. Exchanges are the easy way.

dogecoin and quark

Hi, I'm mining on a multicoin pool to automatically mine the most profitable coin at the moment.

Right now into doge...

doge

At the moment i'm mining Earthcoin's

doge

I am mining doge at the moment.

My pool choose the most profitable coin to mine. I GPU mining for immediate profit so I dont care which coin it is

Dogecoin and Earthcoins.

Love my Doges.

always a dog person, of course doge.

I'm checking out DOGE coins just to see how much I can make overnight. Aside from that, I'm trying to mine altcoins that seem capable of rising quickly in value.

I'm also considering checking out multipools. They sound quite interesting, even if I don't really like the somewhat lazy mentality of not even bothering to find the most profitable coin.

We're mining bitcoins of course.

I hope each coin will get protection against multipools soon because they destroy the market.

Doge is more profitable now lol

Dogecoin is better currently.

Catcoin and Earthcoin sometimes doge :)

Right this moment I'm mining on several laptops and a few Block erupters.

The erupters are mining ASIC coin.
2 laptops mining Earthcoin
1 laptop mining Sexcoin.

I'm finishing up with SXC after my next auto payout, which should be this evening then migrating it to EAC.

With all these alt coins and my limited hashing power I never know what to mine at any given time.
I feel like a kid at disneyland and mom said i get to ride only one ride.

Dogecoin.. ;)

Catcoin, meow!

This moment mining earthcoin.

A little bit of everything. ;D

Anyone have experience in mining with Altera DE1 ? ;D

Litecoins with the gpu and whatever the flavor of the day is with the cpu. I try to read up on all the news I can for any and all coins and decide which one I am going to work on for a few days. Being a newbie I am still evaluating a lot of different communities centered around each coin and the tech benefits/advancements of each coin. There sure is a lot to digest.

mining doge and casinocoin. both solid as far as staying fairly level as far as profitability plus its nice to see all the dogecoin roll in while you mine. gives some nice vindicatuion.  i dont know how far doge will go but im selling some and keeping some while i mine.  mined a bit of netcoin too, not bad. its profitability is good periodically

dogecoin and i love it ...................wooh wooh
till date best crypto and it gonna boom cryptocurrency market.......

Doge right now.

For some reason the coin is profitable and there is plenty of volume for the coin to move.

Very insightful information! May I ask how you pick out which coins to mine and which to ignore? Thanks!

I am still quite new to the mining aspect of crypto-coins and very surprised that there are so many alternatives to Bitcoin which I tried to mine ages ago but didn't get it going.

But now I have got Litecoin mining operating successfully. I only have an ordinary workstation and use the GPU running Cudaminer. I only achieve a hash rate of 175k so this is hardly economic.

I have traded BTC and LTC using a trading programme called Plus500.
I have traded normal foreign currencies for years and enjoy it as a challenge, it hasn't made me rich or poor.

Good Mining. May your hashrates be high

Yeah I actually almost got into Bitcoin back in 2011 but then ended up not doing it because of all the people and sites claiming that it's no longer profitable to mine and the low exchange rate. I regret it every day!

GPU:  EAC and DOGE
CPU:  MOL

yeh I know, my friend who is a developer and I sat down together about months ago and brainstormed bitcoin as a 'thing' about six months ago when it was $30 US . ugh.

But as a trader I know that there are always plenty of future opportunities and the rule to be applied is "Could've, would've, should've, DIDN'T".
Move on seek out the next.

Good Mining. May your hashrates be high

I had been mining some PPC with my old equipment. This thread opened my eyes to lots of possibilities, worthwhile reading. Thanks

There may be some possibilities for mining.Right now there are quite a lot of alt coins so there's quite a wide choice.

I do a bitcoin solo mining with 2 USB erupters haha, I know the odds but I´ve always been lucky, besides trying solo Litecoin on CPU, painfully slow (just few khashes) but luck (force) is with me and I can feel it :)

btw the newbie thing here is a bit awkward, I just have to write something for the sake of writing something..... :)

@Krodmandoon It's really profitable to mine alternative cryptocurrencies because everything is more cheaper.

Bitcoin, Dogecoin and Quarkcoin.

I sell my Dogecoin to get Litecoin, works out more profitable this way.

I was mining Catcoin when it launched: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=380130.0
But since the difficulty went up my shitty 100kh/s GPU doesn't stand a chance anymore lol.

Doge and Protoshares (PTS)

Hello, world! I'm currently mining Icoin - a new cryptocurrency, until difficulty increases.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=389862.0

I believe Earthcoin and Lottocoin are also good starters. Nevertheless, I'm a bit overwhelmed with the number of new coins created lately.

I'm mining DOGE, and TIPS with Radeon HD 7950.
DOGE is profitable at the moment.
TIPS isn't profitable now, and may be future too, but increase very fast :)

Bitcoin and Namecoin

I'm on middlecoin because I'm too lazy to exchange for myself.

Lottocoin is my pick!

I can't put my laptop to mine, would be nice if someone help me : ) it's an hp G63 - intel core 3 (i3) and graphic card ATi mobility HD 5470

I'm mining with 2 laptops.
I'm cpu mining in a pool since I only get ~10-15kh/s. No compatible GPUs in these old laptops. 

With my system, I mine DOGEs. DOGE is still a fairly new coin, with great potential for possible price increase.

Mining EarthCoin at the moment.  SXC and FLO have also been consistently beating direct LTC mining the last couple weeks.  I convert most of it to LTC or BTC to hold.

I am mining earthcoin.

Here DOGEH!!!

DOGE and LTC , FRC too.

I mined Catcoin when started as well, now I only hope it was worth my GPU time and the Catcoin price will climb high   :)

I'm currently only mining Worldcoin but going to have a look at Earthcoin. I'm also interested in the pools that convert scrypt currencies to Bitcoin.

What do you guys think about Peercoin and Worldcoin?
Some say its dangerous and that it is safer to stay with Bitcoins and Lightcoins.
Also I read that Quarkcoin is mostly premined, does anyone know more about this?

grandcoin!!!

wow its on top of coinwarez and coinchoose

but i mined their pool and it doesnt give enough work, and u dont get what the estimate is...

its like false reporting or something.... hmmmmmm

weird.


be careful of coins and pools like that

bitcoin and kittehcoin

I mine with my old and trusty HD 6970 (unlocked 6950). Gives me only 460 Kh/s max, but it will do for the moment. Hope to expand my mining rig in the future.

I forgot to tell. I mine Litecoin, Wolrdcoin and Fastcoin at  mining4all, a great pool with lots of support and great cummunity. The have also thier own forum.

I'm trying out a multipool and PTS....normally LTC.

I was originally mining litecoin, then moved over to doge coin and now velocity coin :D

I'm currently mining Dogecoin and Worldcoin, though I'm pretty sure I will be putting all of my mining resources into mining world coin very shortly.

I've been mostly mining Stable and Tag. I think Tag has some potential because it has a business attached to it and the coin compliments the business. So it's probably not going anywhere and if the business takes off, it'll be in good shape.

Was doing litecoin, but it's not worth it anymore. Looking for some more coins to mine though and waiting for Stablecoin difficulty to rectify itself.

I am mainly in DogeCoin and WorldCoin right now.
For those of you who are interested, there is a website (http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency) that compares profitability of major cryptocurrencies based on your hash rate.  All you do is enter your estimated hash rate for SHA-256 and Scrypt and it will give you a list of all the major cryptocurrencies with the estimated profit at that time.

If you want to mine the most profitable coin you can use middlecoin: http://middlecoin2.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/ or https://www.multipool.us. Both of which mine the most profitable coin. At the moment multipool is mining Dogecoins.

I'm mining with middlecoin at the moment (which converts all coins to bitcoins and then sends them to a wallet of your choice) and sometimes mine dogecoins using a pool, though with so many people mining them at the moment its probably best to mine a more new coin, though not sure which to go with at the moment.
