I'll go for RX 580, it doesn't actually make a huge difference in a price compared to RX 570, it makes a slight difference in terms of hashrate, not to mention for the possible resale value if you decide to sell them later on, however, it seems prices are still a bit high.

Does nicehash's calculator gives generous estimate or just around the ball park? It seems to me it estimates the highest of all the calculators. What do you think?
No its not, difference is a bit close to actual earnings I get, basically its an estimates the factors is that calculators use a fix or steady hashrates while in actual mining it can't be avoided to experience fluctuations and other stuffs, like rejected shares, connectivity, pool maintenance and the likes, that would make profits much lower than it has been stated thru calculators |

I just wonder, wich Bitcoin Debit Card you are currently using? You can use this two https://bitpay.com/cardhttps://cryptopay.me/bitcoin-debit-cardIt is anonymous? No its not, these companies require you for KYC and submit documents/verification for higher transactions. and do we really need anonymous bitcoin debit card? Depends on your preference or your usage, this is similar to other Banks fiats Debit cards Oops, can you provide examples of such cards. first time to here of.  already provided links above. |

Hi,
Currently I have a windows 7 mining rig with 6x Nvidia 1060 6gb
I need to add another 2x Nvidia 1060 6gb, can I still keep my current win7 os or do I have to install windows10 ?
(I tried installing w10 but for some reason I was only getting 2mh/s in etc mining instead of 22-23)
windows 10 can run upto 8 GPUS, see this thread https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/14176/what-is-the-windows-10-gpu-limitCheck the following for possible cause of poor hashrate, - Powersupplies, ensure that your powersupply could handle the 8 GPU's you mention - Risers, faulty risers will also cause poor hashrate - Drivers, ensure that drivers are compatible to miners - Temperatures, heat can also degrade hashrates good luck |

When bitcoin started it has been observed that the popular initial users were in the black market, this is due to cryptology design and anonymity, a lot of challenges faced by the authorities to track them down thru the network, not until today that it has been widely used and already been spread the awareness to the people of its usage, Criminality cannot be blamed to bitcoin.

"Gambling" only requires 3 things: - Stake
- Chance (risk, luck, etc.)
- Profit or Loss
Most things that you do is "gambling", but society wants to classify some activities as more moral than others. According to Boston University Law Review, society wants to do this with white-collar activities, such as trading stocks, but denigrate blue-collar activities, such as poker. But both are "identical wagering activities". Bitcoin is like engaging in business or investments, I guess you missed something, what total gambling differs to engaging business with risk? if you do gambling your wager has only two outputs either you win (double,tripple or more) or you lose, the main different thing is that the way you lose in gambling your waged money is totally lost, in investing bitcoin you still have some even it dips in to the deepest pit price. |

Right now I'm running a mini rig consisting of 1 GTX 980 and 1 GTX 1080 Ti. At the moment, I've opted for a Corsair RM1000X PSU of 1000W, which can easily handle both GPUs. However: 4 more 1080 Ti's are on their way, and my single PSU won't be able to handle those 6 GPUs. I've read it shouldn't be a problem to use 2 PSUs for a single mining rig and using Add2PSU to switch them on at the same time. Which second PSU would you recommend? Do I have to do something additional for them to work safely together (eg. load is balanced)? Furthermore: what do I connect the second PSU to? Is the following a good setup? PSU1: Mobo/CPU/HDD + main power supply to GPUs (= the 2x 8 pins on top of the GPUs) + risers of the GPUs it connects PSU2: remaining GPUs + risers of these GPUs. I don't want to fry 5 1080 Ti's...  Another Corsair 1000w will do for the second PSU, I would suggest each PSU will handle 3 GPU cards, by using Add2PSU. so what I see is that PSU1: Mobo/CPU/HDD + two GTX 1080ti + GTX 980 includes powering up risers PSU2: Remaining 3 GTX 1080ti's + risers powering them. good luck |

Then, of course, there are the people that just throw their money away using nicehash because they are too lazy to convert it for themselves.
I did simulations on this pools, using nicehash pool directly converted to BTC payments and ethermine pool which is transferred to exchange wallets then convert them to BTC in mining ETH, only to find out minimal differences and sometimes the same profits, In my case I need to cash out payments to pay out costs so I don't basically wait for a longer time hoping for coins spike price. |

1) how much does it cost to start? 2)how much profit I'll be able to take out from mining? 3)The best way to start mining?  1) how much does it cost to start? For the sake of experimental or a hobby, If you have an existing Personal computer or an idled pc units, you can start mining without any cost except for your power electricity, but it doesn't mean you can do profit from it, it could be a waste of time depending on your hardware. 2)how much profit I'll be able to take out from mining? that's will always depend on many factors like, Hardware, Coins you are mining, Power rates 3)The best way to start mining? Just do my answer for your number 1 question. :-) |

So Far, I have been using two exchanges for more than a year, Bittrex and Poloniex and never been encountered or lost coins with them, although admittedly they do have some support problems as sometimes took days and need further follow ups to twitter before doing an action although the problem still solved, what I been always doing is that always enabled 2FA, some sort of added security.

Why don't I just use Afterburner? Afterburner doesn't work with my AMD cards, never has. That's a whole nother problem.
Well I guess, this is associated with your problem, All my AMD rigs can do remotely and can open up wattman or MSI Afterburner to do configuration or play around with it, you may try to fix this first, as I see something is messing up with your wattman or MSI application, I am using teamviewer to do remote and sometimes VNC and I dont encounter any problem with it. |

New to the Forum, so, hello.
Decide to take the plunge into GPU mining, tho I think putting the cash for the system into Bitcoin might have been easier! lol
Anyway, here's my setup
Mobo - Biostar TB250-BTC PRO
CPU- Celeron G3900
Mem- Patriot 4G DDR4 2400
SSD- Sandisk SSD Plus 120G
GPU- 3x EVGA 1080 ti sc Black gaming (4th will be installed tonight)
PSU- 2x EVGA 850W Bronze (Soon to be 2400W Parallel Miner. As soon as I install the 230V circuit)
1 GPU and Mobo on one and 2 GPUs on the other
Windows 10 64
Using MSI Afterburner
GPUs are on risers with molex connectors...for now. Will go to 6-pin with the new PSU
All in PCI 1x slots. Mobo bios set to GEN 2
Running EWBF CUDA miner
Averaging 700 Sol/s per card
200W per card
3.5% Efficiency per card
Supernva Pool
So, being very new to this, what's the best way to increase my Hash Rate without affecting efficiency? $.1629 kWh in NH
I've had to turn down the Afterburner settings. I was getting hardware errors on the PCIe and PCI bus. Which in turn caused reboots.
Any and all advice is welcome! Just please don't be a too awful rude!
Thanks!!
Hi and welcome to the forum, I have Nvidia MSI 1080ti and they are way efficient in terms of mining, I am getting 670sol/s for 190watts in zec using EWBF Cuda miner, I am already fine with this as I am also considering power savings that will not compromise hashrates too much, I guess the hashrates youre getting is fine for me. |

Hi guys,
i had known about crytocurrent five months ago, but i only trading. The current market is unstable so I decided to keep it. i'm studying about mining, but my friends, they tell me forget it, present difficulty is too high. Yes, Obviously difficulty is now too high not mentioning its still getting higher and higher, mining nowadays will always be depend on your electricity or your power rates, you can always check with any Online mining calculators if your mining is profitable in your location based on power rates. Consider also your knowledge about at least how simple computer hardware parts works. i don't mining BTC or ETH. Mining other small coins is easy but low profit. what should i do now?. please give me advice.
If you find not profitable then simple, don't do mining. |

What about bittrex?
I have some trouble experience to Bittrex, this is due to the latest Fork and made my ETH in Reserved state, this is now over 6 Days and have already created Support tickets but unfortunately no reply as of the moment. seems, Exchanges nowadays are short in Support units to cover customer related concerns, I am now looking to use other wallets, like Myetherwallet seems this is what exchanges suggested to. |

I'm using an older macbook pro, but electricity consumption isn't really a concern. are there any coins that I can mine? or would it be a waste of time without a dedicated mining rig?
Laptops are not design for mining, unless you do this only for an experimental then you can try it, however you can do only CPU mine and I guess its not easy for an IOS to do this, though I am not sure of it, I only do Linux and Windows OS mining. you could try XMR for CPU mining, as the first note you can do this for experimental as you could possibly fry your laptop for mining 24x7. |

Here are my questions:-
My budget is $1k , which hardware I should buy. ( No problem of electricity)
From where I can buy( please post links)
From your budget, I can do 2 AMD cards particularly RX580/570 you may start sourcing at https://www.newegg.com or at Amazon, depending in your location, you may also check your local suppliers on this. I can mine multiple coins at once in one hardware? No, you can only do multiple instance, however at your present budget seems not possible. If not then I can change mining coins? ( I means if now I am mining ETH and then I want to mine LTCI can change it to LTC or not?) Yes, but mining LTC using GPU is a waste of time and money since this is a ASIC based. instead go to Calculators like whattomine.com to determine what are coins profitable for your hardware. Any vedio tutorial from starting to end about mining tutorial.? Link please. a lot of video tutorials in youtube just key in to search. example below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzIb9l1y5rUYou are mining then please share pics of you rigs . https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zcB6DXOp9Ap2KmSrSoCWtzCkuC9TG6A8iwGoodluck to your mining Journey |

Regardless of the brand it is near or same hashrates will be acquired, for RX580 you can use www.whattomine.com to determine profitable coins. however this will of course depend on your electricity pricing, for now difficulty is getting higher and higher everyweek as it now near to unprofitable state for GPU mining |
