Can't agree more. I am amazed that people are still using WhatToMine. That page is a joke. Half of the coins are completely off. It is especially inaccurate in Skunkhash algo (SIGT). If you mine based on results on this page, you are wasting your mining potential. Big time! You can easily achive 180-300% higher income if you do your own research and ignore whattomine.

Finally someone who has hit the nail on the head. I keep reading these delusional prayers about the necessity of SIGT being added to bigger exchanges in this thread yet that is exactly what would be insanely unhealthy at this point. Yes, it would pump the coin significatnly, but the consequential dump would be catastrophic. Young coins don't need hype, they need the tech. Hype raises pressure on the Devs who need to focus on their work. Not live up to the hype. Let's give the boys some space.

Also, it's a very nice surprise to see SIGT going through current bloodbath with head held high. Respect!

Also interested. Can anyone post (or PM me) some details? Any help appreciated.

This coin will see a pump from whales before the POS. Also, whattomine will attract newbie miners for limited period of time until they realize the calculator is innacurate af. Patience will be rewarded with nice dump conditions. There is no doubt. Hope it won't take long.

This is just sad.

OMG, Jesus Chris, better do what this guy says. Quick! The coin is dying and we will probably loose everything in the next 16 seconds. I can feel the vital signs fading. The room suddenly got colder and the presence of supernatural is in the air. Sell, sell, sell! LOL

/sarcasm

I can't agree more. If you have two rigs, I would use one for mining Zcash and the other one for experimental coins. Let them coins appreciate over time  

Mining question > I am mining ONION using CCminer 1.0 (alexis version) and I am getting only 13,4 Mh/s on a GTX 1070. I have seen people getting much higher hashrates. What am I missing?

LOL, SIGT wishes. Have you actually tried to mine SIGT or are you preaching from whattomine here?

Immediately stop and start mining something else. You are too late to the party. At this point, there are 50-100% more profitable coins to mine out there. Ignore whattomine, it is showing 20% higher daily income than what you actually get. Keep mining only if you want to support SIGT.

Don't PM me with questions what to mine, pls. Dig deep and do your own research. Forget whattomine. The most profitable coins are NOT there.

Maybe I just wanted to redirect this thread to a slightly more constructive topic. Pardon my boldness  I am saving my pumping shoes for laters... 

LOL, do your own research

HINT: whattomine =/= research 

KlausT: Keep up the good work, Klaus. Your 8.11 is a masterpiece. No brainer for multiple algos. For the rest, I rock tpruvot's 2.0 and I am super-exited about your future releases. I was never fan of sp's forks. Although his versions often look extremely well at the screenshots, the raw performance reported by the pools is a different story.

sp: I don't understand all the kicking around. There are still tons of people willing to pay for your miner. Even if your product is not the best one out there, your marketing skills are unparalleled. Especially the grudge against CWIgm is a little unsubstantiated. I think it's a great idea and I plan to support this project and take part in the beta test. Improving raw hashrate is inferior when miner-pool communication is suboptimal. But what do I know. I am just a "newbie" member here in bitcointalk, right?

His latest miner shines in groestl, myriad-groestl and neoscrypt (tested on 1070) compared to others.

Hey there,

don't get me wrong, whattomine plays a super-important role in mining environment - it creates mainstream mining. Huge number of miners make decisions based exclusively on it. And for casual miners it's perfectly OK. Hey, we've all been there - bought first 1080 Ti, downloaded EWBF or Claymore, visited whattomine and started mining Zcash or ETH. This way you can achieve a low yet steady income without much effort.

But you can do better. Much better.

Take a look at the algos, that are mined at yiimp, zpool & suprnova. Go through the forums. Check new coins and new algos.  Forget whattomine . Their calculations are often far from reality and some coins seem to be rather uninteresting while it's complete opposite in reality. Even if you insert tested overclocked hashrates, it gives you really strange results based on CURRENT prices and OUTDATED difficulty settings.

Unless you have a small farm running on profitability-switching miner and covert mining profits into BTC or ETH multiple times during the day, current prices shouldn't be what you look at.

Don't be afraid to be an early adopter of a certain coin which you see a potential in. Use one of your rigs for experiments. You will be able to mine thousands of that coin in two or three days and you can take on another one. In a few months, you will have tons of altcoins. Some of them will not increase in value, but some of them will make you a fortune and compensate you for the rest.

I mine even coins others dare to touch and sell them during pumps. Good trading strategy combined with patience will increase your mining revenue by 50-100% easy.

I have very simple piece of advice - TRACK EVERYTHING. Set your clock on your phone to a certain time of the day and record all the daily earnings in a spreadsheet. The crypto you receive is the only  figure you can really rely on and all your decisions should be based on these raw data.

One final advice - be EXTREMELY careful when downloading mining software from unknown sources. There are tons of vvery sophisticated infected miners that will hash for someone else (in better cases).

No offence, but the fluctuating difficulty isn't an issue. It's the halving and constantly dropping exchange rate that is making mining this coin mediocre.

Your calculation is also incorrect. $5.15/day sounds like something from whattomine calculator. In fact it is hardly $3.00/day with one 1080 Ti (net profit). I stopped mining SIGT at the very moment the halving was applied. Until then it was a joyride, but now SIGT is not even in the TOP 10 most profitable coins. And believe me, $5.15/day is just a beginning of what you can get out of your card. You just need to do your own research and remove whattomine from your bookmarks because NONE of the most profitable coins is listed there.

I still keep something around 2k in SIGT hoping to dump around $0.12 but the depreciation is showing signs of a long-term trend.

If you care about SIGT, support it by mining it.
If you believe in SIGT, mine more profitable coins and turn your profit into SIGT.
If you care about PROFIT, do your homework and find yourself a more lucrative coin to mine.

I get some serious reported hashrate fluctuations on suprnova. I mean like between -60 Mh/s and +10 Mh/s. The miner is running at actual total hashrate of 110 Mh/s but thanks to those drops it averages way below that. Is this something suprnova-specific or is that common across all BTX pools? Can you recommend a better pool? Thank you!

Totally.

True. The halving was a dealbreaker for most people. No point in developing a miner for a coin that MIGHT be profitable again in the future.

I have MSI GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G and I achieve 450-460 Sol/s easily at 85% +90 Core +645 Mem with EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner. This card can take a lot more punishment than my other 1070s from ASUS but there are diminishing returns in further overclocking.
