Title: mining "exotic" coins Post by: Don-Quixote on October 15, 2017, 06:57:48 PM I was wondering what kind of exotic coins if any… are you mining that are not in the 50-top cryptocurrency market list? what equipment are you using? And what is the expected return?
Thanks for sharing Title: Re: mining "exotic" coins Post by: Aureliusy on October 15, 2017, 07:20:27 PM I'm currently mining solaris (XLR) (Xevan + Masternode) or Vertcoin (VTC) (Asic resistance) or ZenCash (ZEN) (privacy coin). They are not top 50 coins.
I do this with 3x 1070GTX. I do not watch efficiency too much, It is for holding long term and I'm not selling anything(try to buy some as well) Reason is I believe these coins have potential to grow and are "ethical"". (VTC is top dog when it comes to being ethical ). It is also nice to read up on the different forums of these coins, because you have a "connection" with a coin. If you have more interest in day to day mining and dumping it is better stick to whattomine has to say. good luck finding your own willy wonka mining ticket!

Occasionally, some of them got media-punch with a pump on market, so you need constantly watch rates of mined coins. Profit could be form one to few hundreds USD in a day if you luck enough.

I was reading this post and wanted to know which miner you are using and are there any good tutorials on mining these. I like to have varied coins through mining Title: Re: mining "exotic" coins Post by: espen83 on October 16, 2017, 12:44:55 AM I've mined a bit UBIQ since i know that at least one major player is long on it.
Title: Re: mining "exotic" coins Post by: DevelopmentBank on October 16, 2017, 01:34:28 AM You may want to consider mining BitcoinZ (BTCZ).
Its one of the newest coins out there which came out only this October so while they are already listed at whattomine or coinmarketcap, there isn't much information on them yet. Granted yes, it smells like a shitcoin, it's currently trading at a good enough price to be profitable. Mine directly to exchange and sell for higher profit margins than ETH or ZCASH. |
