Title: Any coins worth mining with this gear?
Post by: alnitak on March 21, 2014, 07:54:29 PM
I've got a Win7 x64 i7 4770K gaming rig with a GTX 760, and an iMac 2012 (3.4 GHz i7) desktop that came with a GTX 680 MX.

I've been playing with one of the newer SHA3 (Keccak) Altcoins using the CPU from the iMac and the GPU from the Win7 box, but the coin I'm trying seems to be dominated by people with 100x - 500x the mining rate I can muster.

Is there any coin out there that's actually worth mining with this setup, i.e. generating more than say US$3 per day?  I'm capable of running up EC2 instances to scale up if needed, so long as they pay their way.

Thanks!
