Title: XMR Mining
Post by: WHMOB on October 23, 2016, 12:18:28 PM
I want to mine XMR,But unless my machines have a crazy ammount of cpu it is not profitable. I am pretty sure you can mine XMR with a gpu. I have tried to use an aws instance with both 64 vcores, and a large g series gpu instance but for the gpu instance I can not get gpu mining to work.the other is just not profitable.

I would like to cloud mine use a service like hashflare to mine XMR, (Dont now if they offer that)  does anyone have suggestions as to how to get XMR mining profitable.

One the AWS Instance I only got about 5-650 h/s

I do not think that using AVX you get a profit with Monero.
With my i7 6x core I get only 220 H/s ~ 0.3$ per day.

There are simply more profitable coins to mine today than XMR. Unless of course you think the price will go up 10x.

Can you please name a couple I am open to mining other coins, but looking at the exchanges it doesnt seem like they are that much more profitable.

It is more profitlable to mine the Moneor with CPU with AEX_NI support than the GPU. It is better to under volt.

Yes , there are gpu miners available for monero, for quite some time. If you share what GPU's you have, we may give you idea on how much hashrate you can expect,
or just take a look here and try to find your gpu amung them : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MI-ic0Os25hgGUImW54sUIjZY_pUNQNa_W8Se5pRGBs/edit?pli=1#gid=1726706747

Note that it's not 100% accurate, and it varies a bit on the setup as well.

cheers

If u are asking for some suggestions, advices, please tell us  your detailed computer configuration. We need a little bit more info than " my machines have a crazy amount of cpu " :-)
