Bitcoin Forum

I'm making a list of coins you can mine with GPUs in 2023. I'm talking about solid, chad and based coins, not the grifting ones.

So far on my list there is;

Conflux
Kaspa
Ironfish
Prasaga
Aleo(.)org
Minima(.)Global

Anyone have any other suggestions to add this to the list?

Are you mining those coins?

If the goal is to look for a solid coin, with a future ahead of it, and which is not going to lose almost all its value in some time, I can say Ethereum Classic.
Year after year the coin is still alive, obviously it doesn't have Vitalik's brilliant mind behind it, but it fulfills its role of continuing the original ETH network.
It would be a good choice for a more secure future.

I can also mention RVN - Ravencoin, which since 2018 has remained relevant for miners.
In a likely Bitcoin bull run RVN has good chances (in my opinion) to appreciate quite a bit, as I've seen happen a few times.
As for the ETC I mentioned above, I don't believe it can do more than 2 or 4x of the current price.

If you provide more info about the coins you choose, you can make this thread more relevant
I confess that I know almost nothing about these coins you mentioned: Ironfish and Prasaga

Just look at the convenient statistics on coins on this site
https://hashrate.no/
This is the only site that has been able to beat WhatToMine in my opinion.
But the problem now is the lack of profit for beginners, and many miners turn off the equipment due to low profit

Yeah we have been there in 2015. Most don't remember or went around but GPU mining was a mess. The only way to make a decent profit back then was to wait for some promising coin to hit the Announcement Section, and as soon as it launched you would instamine it while difficulty was low. And usually 25-50% of those coins were listed on Poloniex or Bittrex back then.

And you pretty much sold the top when it launched and rinse and repeat. Only way to make money back then. So many turned off their rigs or they went with BTC ASICs instead. Back then many bought the SP20e or Antminer S5 and they mined, profits were not that great however.

Mining ETC is not that smart in my opinion also as the rewards for 100 Mhsh are just above 0.01 ETC daily usually in 0.012 to 0.014 ETC depending on the difficulty.Most of the miners transferred the ETH hash rate to ETC and that is why the difficulty of it has skyrocketed but the price has remain in the same levels as before the migration of this new hash rate or even worse.

I also agree that without providing further evidence as why the OP is explicitly mining these coins I don't agree that much with that least except for Kaspa which has seen a drastic increase in price lately.

I’ve never heard of any of those coins. I can’t say I’d want to hold anything that I don’t need to use for something. I always say the smart thing to do is to use GPUs to mine BTC using a service like NiceHash. That removes the gambling aspect of holding a coin that’s sole purpose is to pump and hope to sell for more later.

This really depends though.I also think that is a good idea for people who are in only for Bitcoin and this is a great way to little by little get some amount every day with our mining rigs.This was very popular in 2018 and since then the popularity has come on the decrease because of making better crypto rewards by mining directly the coin we are interested.

The gambling side of it can be removed easily now as there are wallets that support at least 500 hundred cryptos and have a built in exchange with low fees,like Atomic wallet for example which if the user wants he can convert to Bitcoin as soon as he makes the minimum amount to do so.

Kaspa price +800% since the beginning of the year, it is hard not to hear about such a coin. And this is a bear market.
At such a time, it is profitable to mine such coins, because their price can go up a lot or video card manufacturers want to pump up the prices of coins for mining. I switched my graphics cards to mining Nexa.

Nexa and Kaspa are the winners right now.

I'm using this but at the current price point the highest profitable GPU in the market is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti Revenue around ~ $6 or so and breakeven about a year

https://whattomine.com/gpus

That is a really good daily revenue for a single card no matter how expensive this card is,break even about a year makes it fun again for people who have enough money to build a rig with 6 x 4090 and are in for the long run.In my country back in the days of 3090 many people build rigs with them up to 25.000 EUR one because they bought at hyperinflated prices and they could not wait or to be in for the long run and I even saw one time one 6 x 3090 rig going for just 4500 EUR when ETH moved to POS.Smart people who are in for the long run of course bought that rig.

yeah these are pretty standard.

I just switched over to NEXA. Getting about 190K coins a day with 8 x 3060 TI, 1 x 3060 and 1 x 1660 TI GPUs.

Finally making a profit but it takes about 5 to 7 days to get your coins paid out to your wallet.

You will receive rewards for mining NEXA coin no sooner than after 7 days. And while you wait, the price may fall.
Look at this coin, the first few days it can be profitable. Algorithm kawpow, so new graphics cards are not much in the lead here

That's the only thing I don't like about NEXA having to wait a week to get payed out. I hope the price does not fall waiting to get paid out  :)

I tried to mine CLORE before but didn't have a lot of luck. What mining software and pool are you using?

NEXA and KASPA will be new bull season coins. Maybe DNX.
Well, NEXA pays the first payment after 7 days. But it s a good thing for long term mining. Not good for the beginner level.

CLORE, PAPRY, NOVO, EVR are not good coins in my opinion. (for long term mining)
Well, the prices is up in time but not for long term.

idk about NEXA sounds like another shitcoin.

KASPA is solid due it's past & affiliations.

The algorithm is old, there are many miners:
XMRig            AMD, NVIDIA   XMRig v6.7.0+ (Windows, Linux, AMD, NVIDIA)      
TeamRedMiner    AMD   Team Red Miner v0.7.22+ (Windows, Linux, AMD)      
NBMiner            AMD, NVIDIA   NBMiner v35.2+ (Windows, Linux, AMD, NVIDIA)      
T-Rex            NVIDIA   T-Rex v0.19.5+ (Windows, Linux, NVIDIA)      
GMiner            NVIDIA   GMiner v2.29+ (Windows, Linux, NVIDIA)      
CryptoDredge    NVIDIA   CryptoDredge v0.26.0+ (Windows, Linux, NVIDIA)
https://newpool.pw/clore/#getting_started

TeamRedMiner I use on AMD.
if I mine the NEXA coin, then I will not sell it now. There is a high probability that the price will rise.

I'm thinking about running my own node and mining KASPA but a little lazy to set it up.

I'm mining NEXA but I hate waiting 7 days to get paid out. I agree though that it might be a good thing since it keeps miners from just dumping as soon as they mine NEXA.

I'm not a fan of KAWPOW since it draws too much power.

In fact, I have not mined any of the coins from this list!!!

Anyway, I used to mine .ETC, BTG, but now the profits are very low.
These coins are not necessarily good for mining for each one, you have to choose the appropriate coin for the GPU installed in your device via: https://whattomine.com/

Someone shared this link before. It's nothing new. This website has been known for years.

Mine Epic Cash. When you consider the same fundamentals as considered at cyrptoratingcouncil.com Epic Cash scores highest as an actual cryptocurrency.

Even if you decide EPIC isn't your cup of tea it is far more profitable than anything else and you could just sell the EPIC to buy whatever. I know plenty of people happy to buy EPIC sold by miners.

This way miners will avoid the KAWPOW algorithm. On new video cards, this algorithm is not very profitable and consumes a lot of energy. The old video cards VEGA 64 and VEGA 56 perform quite well here at 30Mh/s, although the 4090 shows 65 Mh/s. And the 6600 XT is one of the most economical cards based on this algorithm.

Nexa draws less than ETHASH so I kind of like it. Also, making a profit now. Hope it lasts.

Profit on weak video cards changes quickly, so it is better to mine the most profitable coin and receive rewards in bitcoins. Then you can exchange bitcoin for whatever you want to store.But it is better not to use algorithms for ASICs on video cards.Although ASIC manufacturers will be interested in these coins.

KAWPOW is not good on new cards because it is only around x2 to x2.5 the hashrate from old video cards LOL. Like from 1xxx to 4xxx series, i think the very old video card 290x is half of 1xxx in KAWPOW or PROGPOW hehe.

Those algos are not just ASIC resistant but also a slow generational gpu mining improvement, now think of the price comparison of those cards heheh

Nexa do over 3x from old gpus so nexa is better on new cards BTW

Nexa is tiny very low volume.

Shitcoin 101, the more tiny the more pumpable LOL, not financial advice LOL.

We are back to tiny coins BTW. ETH already moved on.

There are still profitable coins to mine that have good fundamentals.
