What's your thoughts on the GTX 1060's vs your RX 580's?  Was there a reason you went for two different cards?

Unknown Suspect:  Woah - that's some commitment for a newbie!  15 x RX 580 + 12 x GTX 1060.  I tip my hat to you.  I can feel myself heading in the same direction, but probably not quite so fast.  I'm loving the fact you're managing to make some serious cash off this so quickly.

BCCrypto68:  hahaha - awesome post - thanks!  I've just looked up Awesome Miner and think I'll get Pro with cloud services, so many thanks for the advice.  I'd already considered having a keeper primary coin too, so think I'll be following your lead on that one.

I realise lots of people are happy with the current state of Nice Hash, but after reading so much negativity, I've finally been put off.  Its looking more like Claymore + the most trustworthy (by appearance) pool I can find, mining whatever whattomine lists as most profitable every 3 days.  If Awesome Miner can switch coins automatically, that'll give me the minimal hassle I'm looking for.

I'm already itching to get the extra 2 x RX 580 cards to max out my board, but think I'll be sensible and hold back til I've got a proper feel for it all in a few weeks.

Wow, that's a bit of a mixed response!  Pretty much matches everything I've read though.  Different things seem to work for different people.

Does anybody know what the current profits are for mining Ethereum with RX 580's?  If so, what's the best way of going about this?

I've just seen on whattomine that Metaverse is the current most profitable RX 580, so that's another option, maybe using DodoPool.  Any advice on this would be welcome too, thanks!

Hi guys

I've just placed an order for all the components to build my first mining rig ... 4 x 8gb AMD RX 580 with i7-7700 CPU.  It'll all be here by Monday (4 days) and I'll be aiming to have it up and running before the end of the day.

While I definitely want to make some money from this, I'm also doing it out of curiosity.  If it turns out that it ticks over a small profit, I'll probably get another 2 x GPUs to max out the PSU.  I'll be using the profits to dabble in Forex, so quick and frequent payouts would be nice, but not essential.

I'm a full-time software developer and much prefer Windows over Linux, but use Ubuntu and CentOS on a daily basis, so I'm not scared of anything technical.  However, I don't want to waste every evening tweaking things.  I'd be most happy just tinkering with it a couple of times per week when I'm bored.

So far, based on everything I've read (forums/blogs), Nice Hash looks like the app for me.  Set it off, it maxes out all available hardware and pays BTC every so often.  Sounds perfect.

MiningPoolHub was the only other thing I found interesting, but it seems that most benefit in terms of profits is lost to the auto switching process.  I've even seen a long Reddit thread where the majority of posters said they got more profit from Nice Hash with zero effort than they got with MPH and lots of hassle.

I'm tempted to just use something to mine XVG and leave it smashing away, but then it sounds more sensible to get paid by Nice Hash in BTC and trade it in for XVG anyway.

Can anybody suggest anything else I might prefer over Nice Hash or MPH, please?  Open to suggestions!

Muchos thanks!!
