Title: Most Profitable Mining for 1060 Zotac 3gb?
Post by: zcbook on May 23, 2020, 03:53:35 PM
Hi Brother, I used to mine cryptocurrency starting from 2017. As it was no more profitable for me, I turned off all rigs in 2019.
I am missing this feeling of mining. and like i was out of crypto community.
Now I just want to play around as it is not beneficial to keep these turned off either. Which software and coins are still fine to start mining with 1060.

Hi, welcome back!
Things are not equal 2017 anymore  :D

Best to check on https://whattomine.com/coins

My suggestions are:
use Nicehash and let the miner do everything and no need to worry
or
you can mine Ravencoin in the new algo KawPow

I remember 1060 can overclock a lot on memory and you should take advantage, I remember I did 900mhz on good memories

How many cards do you have?

Basically 99% of all miners with the 1060 3GB sold those GPUS about a year ago or longer when the 3GB dag limit was hit. Now if you have the 6GB model you could still make some pennies a day mining ETH.

Most of the newer GPUs are mining RavenCoin which is KawPow algo or ZCashClassic which uses some custom Equishash algo. Either way, the times have really changed since 2017 and you can't even earn $1/day anymore with any GPU. Maybe with the Radeon VII you might earn close to $1 daily however after power consumption it will eat away a large chunk of your profits. And keep in mind its a very expensive GPU to buy.

Start mining  KAWPOW, it's the best you can do with 3gb cards right now.
