Mining is not great right now. Trough last month or so I've seen a lot of cards popping up on my local marketplace site for used goods. If you can find some used RX 4xx/5xx series cards with warranty for cheap go for them. Even with diff increase you can profit if you get good deal on them.

Most ppl atm will sell it as soon as they get it, in order to get more BTC. I personally thought the price for BCC would be a bit better. Anyway we will see a slight increase in BTC price when BCC holders start dumping

Bad idea.
1. How good is the physical security in your office e.g. gatepass for equipments coming in/out? You might be able to bring it inside the office but you may not be able to take it out.
2. That might be construed as "stealing" company resources. You bringing in a personal equipment and use company utilities for personal gain - electricity, space or computer space. You'll possibly face HR sanctions if your personal equipment is found out.
3. You'll introdude risk to your companies network infrastructure, opening network ports for mining, etc. What if a malware infects your company's computer/network system thru your miner?
If you are in control of your test PC lab and test internet network that is totally separate from production network and with no need to bring in a personal equipment, better, as that would minimize the risk to your company network and risk of an equipment being personally associated to you as well. Just run a test, not a miner running 24x7.
He probably lives in some 3rd world dump where there are no such strict policies  Judging by your posts here you are not much better. @OP If company you work for is doing something IT related, it could be a problem just like Alpha0One1 said, because it could be security risk for them. If it's not IT related, and they have some spare room, sure why not. |

As of latest news, looks like AMD does not care about miners anymore. They started selling their cards in bundles with cpu and motherboard at discounted prices
That way they get the money from 3 sources. Soon you will see, cpu, mb, monitor and video card in all one package, gamer package hehe I don't think so. I think that they are trying to prevent gpu shortage from happening like it did few months ago and it's still here. Gamers are angry because they cannot buy cards, and they are turning towards Nvidia |

Go with Claymore's.
Even though nicehash changes algorithms with best realtime profit,
Well optimized RX480 is almost totally suitable for ethereum mining.
Nicehash will keep mining on ethereum.
Claymore's the best solution for your situation.
Thank you for your answer, I appreciate that someone took the time. and it is what I am using, Claymore seems to be the best for me. Claymore's miner is your best option. It will offer better hashrate than nicehash miner and there is intensity option that you can tune if you want to spend less system resources for mining. |

Some cards I have are mining 2+ years and they are fine (fans are fine) but It has happened to me that a card just died after like 10 days of use.

What is mining and how to you get the coins into your account? What do you need to start I have a PC I don't use...
If you got an old PC you won't see much profit. Maybe 10$ a month max. Even rigs with R9 380s now are pretty bad. It's best if you can buy a deticated rig with 6 GPUs and mine with that. You will reach ROI fastest that way |

This is an Altcoin Mining board so it is a wrong place for your message. Buy anyway, if you wish to buy bitcoin miner, best ones are by https://www.bitmain.com/ . They are not in Europe, but still most European shops are just reselling their hardware for higher price so it actually may be better to calculate shipping cost and see what would work for you. |

I'm a web developer and as of lately I totally ditched PayPal and force my customers to pay with BTC. If they don't have it I explain them how to buy it and of course some of them will be interested to research more about Bitcoin after that

Well it's kinda expected when news that most of the miners will support it came out. Most of the guys holding shit their pants after they heard that chain may split. Now that it's less likely of course price will go Up !

I don't agree with what those guys above me suggested. Yeah it's just downloading a program and it will select most profitable one bla bla... But is it really hard to download miner yourself and just edit config ? I mean come one everyone can do it at this point

I would also lend towards 1060, you can mine more algo's with better hash, look what happened with SIGT, guys with amd could not match what nvidia was doing. Also no miner support for skunk algo as far as I know.
Yeah but how profitable those coins are ? Ethash is most profitable algorithm to mine no doubt (for quite some time now) |

Groestl seems to be nice for me. I tried equihash but my computer lags so much with that. Also tried Tribus, seemed to have decent speed and profit. Not sure if Groestl or Tribus is best for me. I'm using my computer at the same time so I need a algo that doesnt make my computer lag too much. CCMiner seems to be the best option for me. I'm using ver 2.2. Seems to be 10% more efficient on Tribus than 2.1
Investing in mining but don't want to fully commit ? That's just not smart man... Anyway best miner overall is claymore's miner. There is intensity setting that you can tweak if your pc is lagging too much |

When you are mining with CPU it's not really possible to make daily profit that is justifiable for the hassle, but if you are still looking to mine something, don't look for per day profit, look at what's going to give you most coins and still have some probability for price increase so you can profit off that.

Well it's an old card so not really power efficient but still it's nVidia so power management should not really be a problem. In order to help you, please tell us what coins have you tried and what kind of hashrate did you get ? You can use http://whattomine.com/ calculator to input that data, with electricity you use and find what is most profitable for you |

To purchase and then run an ATM is not that cheap, so most of them have very high fees (give you very bad exchange rates) in order to profit. I do have BTC ATMs in my country (multiple Companies) but as for now I always found my best bet to be localbitcoins National Bank Transfer.

If you don't have many miners, keep them home and calculate your electric bills. If you are at a point where it's cheaper to rent a warehouse than to pay high-rate bills, do that !
