Title: Question about Antminer S5 Post by: claudiu678 on May 13, 2017, 05:35:06 PM Hi guys,
I just want to start mining some altcoins cuz i see that i need very good hardware to mine Bitcoins, so i decided to mine Bytecoins. My question is: with Antminer S5 can i also mine another SHA-256 coin. I read that Bytecoin is also SHA-256 based, like Bitcoin. If i look over here: http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/bytecoin-mining-calculator/?h=1000&p=0&pc=0&pf=0.00&d=377952.00000000&r=8428.63329634&er=0.00000020&btcer=1792.68050000&hc=0.00 (http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/bytecoin-mining-calculator/?h=1000&p=0&pc=0&pf=0.00&d=377952.00000000&r=8428.63329634&er=0.00000020&btcer=1792.68050000&hc=0.00) I get like 600$/day, so... Is this right? Title: Re: Question about Antminer S5 Post by: R0MD0C1 on May 13, 2017, 09:10:56 PM Hi!
Bytecoin is under CryptoNight algorithm you can't use a S5 on it.. With this device you will earn ~1$/day (don't forget your electricity.. with it you will maybe lose money..) 600$/day was a dream with this device.. :-[ Sorry..

Unfortunately Bytecoin is not a SHA-256 cryptocurrency, like R0MD0C1 said above. Title: Re: Question about Antminer S5 Post by: claudiu678 on May 13, 2017, 10:03:57 PM Hi!

I don't want to mine with my PC, i would prefer to have a dedicated miner, what setup should i use to mine CryptoNight? Like Bytecoin and Monero for example.

Like Bytecoin and Monero for example. you need to build your mining gpu rig, is made with 6 gpu and a proper motherboard with cheap cpu and ssd, you cn find many info here on how to build but you usually need g1840 asroch h81 pro btc 6 gpu and risers |
