Title: can I do any mining with this set up?
Post by: jonatron5 on December 07, 2014, 01:21:29 AM
Ok I apologise for posting this in two different forums bit it seemed to fit in two different catagories.


Ive built my gaming rig and its great for whatt i use it for. Its a great gaming machine, and i know that inherrintly means its not built to be a bitcoin miner. But im away from my system for a while at a time so I figured id look into doing something profitable inmy spare time. So heres my system specs I was wanting to know if i could be of any use and what sort of cut i could ecpect with my hardware.

Like I say I know its not an ideal machine but If I can be of any help? The electricity isnt costing me a dime atm so....... might as well

You're well over a year late to the party for mining BTC with any PC.  There might be some alt coins you can play around with if you're interested - check out the alt coins forums.

Other crypto currencies that may still be profitable to mine with a GPU.

Check this subforum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0). Best try some new coins.

If you have free electricy.. try buying a "New-R-box" from rock miner and use your computer as the controller..? 

Even doing that if you are looking to make money mining the odds are you will not.

If you really do have free power I would highly suggest looking up an S1 miner on Kijiji they are going for $50.. with free power you will probably see a return.  coinwarz.com  The S1 runs at 180Ghash/second.




If you are dead set on using your computer try Darkcoin or Primecoin.

i think you can just do some profit via cointellect services...

you can not do profit with standard mining for sure!!!

if you want to deepend cointellect, here is the official link

http://cointellectfaq.blogspot.it/
https://cointellect.com/

but remebert...

to do profit with GPU it is hardest!!!

you can get some old greedseed to do profit!!!
just 7/8 watt for 300khash

Yes, you can still mine x11 algo with your GPU. you can look into wafflepool.com and calculate if it is profitable for you..

oh i understand...

i have checked now...
with one 280X you get 0,01063872btc / daily.
you do some gain just if you have a veeeeeeeeeeeery low electricity contract

actually, you could try to mine VTC, the 780ti is doing great on the new lyra2RE algo (not sure if it will be really profitable, as many gpu miner moved already to vtc...)

I think your calculator is way off, the btc figure is based on 1 MH x11 algo. So for 280x the max you should get daily is 0.001 BTC assuming you are using the best kernal from wolf.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

i think your compute it's wrong!!!

a 280x is capable of 3Mhash on X11 algo.

from http://www.wafflepool.com/stats/x11:
Date                   BTC            Hashrate   BTC / 1MH
Dec   15, 2014   2.17701360   13.47 GH/s   0.00016164

and so 0.00016164*3*24H = 0,01163808btc/day

poor guy  ;D, he asked about his 780ti and what he gets is mostly trolling from amd users who can't read good (because 280 != 780) ;D
actually the 780ti is still doing good... (haven't tested the new x11 code though... )
I would not replace mine actually (I bought the 980 not in replacement but as an addition)

Can you test my next build?

I just fixed 30/32/35 support in my fork.

The gtx650 is only 4% faster than beta release 19. (x11)

The new version use (bmw/keccak/skein uint2). So uint2 is faster even when the compute 3.0 devices are missing the funnel shift.

thanks!!!

I got 6500MHASH/x11 with MSI 280x standard clocks using the setting -w 64 -g 4 and 14.6 beta driver/windows 7 . sgminer 4.1

And wolf's published binary.

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRL1H9E7lvjEHzK9LwGUqWOyW4HNbLYyavn2H4GvIo4k0AhldMy

Didn't test overclocking. But I guess with -powertune 20 and GPU at 1500 the 280x should reach 7,5 MHASH.

i have a sapphire 280X here...
i have just downloaded wolf-neo-sgminer5-hawaii-11212014

where is a tutorial to how to use wolf bin??

just rename wolf bin to the default compiled bin???

yes yes... i mean tahiti :-)

doing some tweaking for now...

i have 280x not undervolted for now...
i mean not flashed...

can i have some tips to do some better?

i used this bin:

many thanks wolf

when i have compiled i get this filename:

I have tried all, and the most profitable mining for GPU is contellect. They have a weird payout scheme , but they pay way more than any other pools.

For instance you can get 1.2 to 1.5 EURO/day with your card. To withdraw they ask "verify you", and this is done by credit card ( for security reasons not recommended) and by buying one of their mining contracts, I bought (using Bitcoin) the 15 EUR contract and got 17. something EUR back. Been mining there for over a month, great profit. I don't know if it is scam /ponzi /whatever or not , but I have made a profit.

If you need help PM me
