Title: Does anybody know which coin the Gekko Compac F can mine profitably?
Post by: dddu88 on December 12, 2021, 01:01:07 AM
Hi All, I am new to mining, I have a Gekko Compac F, but I do not know which coin I can mine with it to be most profitable, any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Take a look at various coin calculators online. Most will point you in the right direction. Obviously you can only mine SHA-256 algo coins though.

In my opinion BTC will always in the end remain it's status as the most profitable SHA-256 coin

It's hard for a single miner to mine Bitcoin profitable and the last time I checked you will need at least antminer s17, M31s, Canaan Avalon 1246 81T etc to mine BTC profitable.
In the meantime, you will find the answer to your question on https://whattomine.com/ just insert the miner info and you'll get the perfect coin that will be profitable for you to mine with compact.

@OP, You DO know that any stick miner is strictly a lottery device right?
They are typically pointed at a Bitcoin solo-mining pool because they are far too slow to have any chance of dependable income and odds are most non-solo BTC pools will not accept them.

As for other coins - this is the Bitcoin area, not crapcoins. Look in the altcoin areas for discussion of them.

well keeping on the btc level he can mine at

ck solo pool

kano solo pool

mmpool.org



Now he could go for a crap coin like xec on viabtc but that does not belong here.

As for the three pools I  linked I am not sure that his stick will work at all three pools.

it is best he tries each pool and comes back here to say if the stick works at them.

I can give arugements for and against all three btc pools I mentioned.

Franky I think he should  do mmpool.org but only if the stick works there.

I've tryed it with mmpool.org and my gekko-f.
It works fine with the pool.

just to let you know, even I am not the thread starter.

Do you mean you can mine btc coin with gekko compac F via the mmpool.org?
how much profit you can get for a day or a month on average?
Can I mine other coins with gekko compac F via the mmpool.org?

Thanks

okay none is the short answer.

the long answer is far more complex.

solo pools are basically impossible to hit.


mmpool you do not need to hit the pool to win coins.

you could go as long as 4 years and hit for zero money.

then the pool could hit three blocks quickly and you do well.

you need to understand a 300gh stick is bringing slingshot to a fight when everyone else has ak-47 guns. big pools have thousands of ak-47’s going up against you.

a little pool may have one or two against you. so you get a bigger share when the pool hits a block.

"Stock hashing speed: 200 GH (please note: these miners run very hot and you must provide active cooling such as fan)
High Speed: 350 GH++ (Running at clock speed of 545 MHz Higher speed requires usb port above spec). To reach max speed of 500GH you will need 3amp usb port per miner!"
I wouldn't waste my time on this.

well its quiet. but will likely not earn a profit.

at op you could mine XEC at viabtc and hodl the XEC

if XEC takes off you will make a few bucks.

I know it's an old thread, but
These are possible to run quite high hash rate, 460Ghs @700Mhz. You will need a very powerful hub though (~5A Port) and enough cooling, whic is single amazon basic fan.
With Bitoicns price being so low today I'm sure people looking to see what else there is out there.
