Hey everyone,
I have been following this forum for a bit and finally registered so that I could ask a question to the pro's on here about my current situation.
I recently got into mining with my 1080 TI but I also have a Ryzen 1800x that does pretty decently with CPU mining totaling about 5.10usd a day. I'm looking to mine directly instead of nicehash as I have already ordered 1 more 1080 TI with the plan of ordering 2 more after this for a total of 4. Is there a better option to nicehash with regard to mining a cpu and gpu at the same time. 5 dollars a day seems pretty good to me but several people have been posting on how nicehash takes quite a bit for the services. NH seems to work well though utilizing my CPU for mining along with the GPU. I have tried EWBF's cuda but I only was mining with GPU which payed less. Electricity is not a concern for me as it is cheap. Any responses would be great for this newbie trying to get into mining.
When you say mine directly i assume you will want to pool mine and not solo mine. If so you can easily setup an account with any poolmining site for example dwarfpool or suprnova and choose your coins you want to mine. For cpu id guess youd want to go with monero and possible zcash or dgb for gpu mining.
https://dwarfpool.com/https://www.suprnova.cc/So how does someone mine from something like dwarfpool or supernova and then mine monero using the cpu? Do you run two mining pools?
Well using suprnova as an example, If you have a look you can see all the different coins and algorithims you can run. Just log into whichever one you choose to mine is and go to the help section to download the appropriate mining software.
https://xmr.suprnova.cc/index.php?page=gettingstartedthats the monero one which you would download the cpu miner and if you know what coin you want to mine with your 1080 just do the same again.
you will be just running two different miners at 2 different pools.
Yea looking at suprnova seems like a good way to select the coin I want to mine, I guess I just need to find some tutorials on youtube to setup the miner itself.
It looks like there is a good tutorial on how to do this from there. Thanks for the help. I'm guessing a pc can run multiple miners with one focused on cpu and 1 focused on gpu. I will try this later today. Thanks for help helloeverybody.
I guess I have to finish up doing NH until they pay me out on the 8th which is kind of a pain. I guess once I have more gpu's I can get paid out faster.
