1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Which coin to mine with 1060 3GB now? on: March 30, 2018, 09:40:15 AM
Ethereum is a good option now, but if you want better profit you can try to find some new coins. Sometimes you can get good return from those new coins, but of course you are taking big risk compare to mining popular coins.
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining , still worth it? on: March 15, 2018, 01:23:33 PM
GPU or CPU is a depreciated product, so if you can't get decent profit then better think twice. But I found the ROI is still acceptable, maybe roughly 1 year or more to earn back your GPU invested.
3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What to mine with old 20 CPUs on: March 11, 2018, 05:23:51 AM
Not many algorithms good for cpu, except those with cpu algorithm such as yescryptR16, M7M... You may consider cryptonight algorithm for coin like XMR  or BCN, it is still cpu minable with good hashrate.

This CPU coin look good

on YeScriptR16. It's two week old and hashrate not so big Smiley

Nice sharing, it is good to know a new CPU coin with YescriptR16 algo.
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GTX 750Ti mining? on: March 11, 2018, 03:04:59 AM
Not high hashrate for gtx 750ti to mine other algorithm, I also suggested cryptonight, it is much better with the hashrate compared to others. You may check it at whattomine.com
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining with unactivated windows on: March 09, 2018, 08:15:42 AM
Yeah, I don't think there is any issue to mine with non-activated windows. It just annoy to see the activation message, but it works just fine.
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What VPS service are you using for masternodes? on: March 08, 2018, 09:28:45 AM
may i ask why people seems prefer VPS instead of building own small server in the home?

is it due to network connectivity? or unreliable electricity/internet?

Main reason is static IP and home broadband with only 1 dynamic IP, you can get multiple VPS with unique static IP each.

There is no way alt coins will survive if bitcoin gone. If bitcoin dead then that's mean cryptocurrency dead, so no other cryptocurrency will worth a value.
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Anyone else having issues with their Antminer A3? on: February 12, 2018, 01:35:57 AM
i had a problem with a string of asics giving X's.

I changed the frequency from 600 to 550

it worked, once stable, slowly increased back to 600.

stable 2 days now

Yes, it is always suggested to lower the frequency at the beginning, then slowly increase it. Same job on every miner including GPU.
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: First Asic for SIA - Obelisk SC1 on: January 18, 2018, 07:37:50 AM
This new Antminer A3 miner appears to be a basis for Bitmain's entrance into a cryptocurrency which will support the massive off-site data storage requirements inherent in its AI operations.

Surprise me, this means that there will be an ASIC friendly algorithm soon. What are the popular coins that use blake2b?

EDIT: just noticed SIA is blake2b  Tongue I thought SIA with it's own new algo...
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: New to mining, a few more questions on: January 18, 2018, 01:15:26 AM
If you do not use your mining rig to surf net or any other activities than mining, then you do not actually need an anti-virus including windows defender.
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Bminer: a fast Equihash miner for CUDA GPUs (5.1.0) on: January 18, 2018, 01:13:09 AM


0.0016% rejected shares.

is 0.0016% good or bad? Huh

newbie question here Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

It is hard to tell why you have rejected shares because there are alot of reason. But with 0.0016% only, it is a good mining result.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: windows or linux on: January 17, 2018, 01:11:57 PM
I see no problem with linux, you must also compare resources usage for linux and windows, obviously windows uses more and it could lead to more power drawn. Anyway I still prefer linux, maybe you can try to compile those great miner to linux by yourself.
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: My first mining equipment :) on: December 27, 2017, 06:04:36 AM
If you looking for fast money, then nicehash is good. But if you want to hodl the coins that you mined, then zcash is recommended for 1080ti.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Hashrate RX 570 on: December 27, 2017, 05:54:58 AM
I did not own any Vega yet but I think it is better to mine cryptonight algorithm because of very good hashrate in the algo, and whattomine also shows best profit compared to ETH.
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: $30k to invest - Ideas on: December 25, 2017, 07:53:13 AM
I think GPU is not the trends right now. Do you ever think of investing in ASIC miner? You can buy a few ASIC miners with $30k, mainly for SHA256 should be good in ROI.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Current best powered risers available? on: December 25, 2017, 02:44:32 AM
Persoanlly i go for the ones with FOUR capacitors on. No particular brand or make as they are all basically the same. They all do a range of different connectors.

I also insist on four capacitors. I have some risers on hand that bought last time with four capacitors, it is much stable compared to three capacitors riser.
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Connecting a new rig to another computer on: December 25, 2017, 02:37:36 AM
Since mining rig does not need much work on it after setup, so why not you just use remote desktop or vnc to access to it from another computer?
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: LiteCoin Mega Miners on: December 04, 2017, 05:25:28 AM
Yes, nicehash could be the source of these big miners, they tried to move around different pool and coin for profit. They will stay only if big profit gain.
20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Best motherboard??? on: December 03, 2017, 12:01:58 PM
Can someone please help? Just need to confirm. thanks so much!!!

I have a friend who have the exact motherboard you are asking and he is running 6x RX 580 with modified bios making 180 Mhash in Ethereum only mining mode , running from a few months without problems and without crashing.

It should work for you too but I suggest to go for Biostar TB250 PRO BTC or ASROCK H110 PRO BTC+ or ASUS MINING EXPERT as these are motherboards dedicated to mining. Their price is not expensive too.

I have the same suggestion as @Cereberus did, why don't you get those mining mobo, it supports more PCIe slots, and you do not require to use all, 6 gpu on it sure works without problem.
