You can find the move button below left of this page. Title: Re: Can you actually mine on GT 1030?

Title: Re: Can you actually mine on GT 1030? Post by: Awesomus Maximus on May 28, 2019, 04:39:46 PM Forget about it. As already said, technically you can use your card to mine, but you are not going to make any profit. In fact, you will pay for electricity more than you will make mining. That said, you can mine for fun. What I mean by that, you can learn how to mine and then when you feel confident, you can buy a better card and start to mine for real. Although, to be clear, even with better cards, the profit will be relatively small.

So it will serve at least some useful scientific work. The way they have become in some degree the ancestor of the mining of cryptocurrencies (association in pools for the solution of the general problem). https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/) Title: Re: Can you actually mine on GT 1030?

Now I have a temporary and not the most successful configuration of Xeon X5570 and 550ti; they can only perform simple work. And BOINC is quite interesting, you feel part of something big and important. By the way now there are even some awards for it. Read about Gridcoin https://gridcoin.us/ (https://gridcoin.us/).

Thanks for the useful link and for answering my question. I didn't know there is a reward in form of a gridcoin. That's even better, you get rewarded for helping the scientific community. I like the concept and I will definitely look into it more and who knows maybe I will join! Some of the projects they are currently working on are listed on the website. Thanks again. |
