LOL, if it were so then other cryptos wouldn't have dropped down as well. Pretty much all cryptos have fallen down to about 50% or more from their ATH. Ethereum was showing some resistance initially but it fell down as well.

With GTX 1050 it's be best to run it on equihash algo. Probably something like ZEC (If you want an established coin), or Zencash if you want something newer.

Or BTCZ if you want to risk it on something that might (or might not) get hyped tomorrow. But for NVIDIA cards it's best to run them on equihash. But profitability (in terms of fiat) is down right now, you'll make like 70 cents before power on a single card per day.

I'd recommend you to get 2 850W power supplies. It is usually recommended that you don't draw more than 80% of total capacity. Even if you underpower (which you should) in MSI AfterBurner , you should understand that at times GPUs can still draw max possible power. Using two 850W power supplies will work best. I prefer keeping it safe when cost involved in doing so isn't that significant.

qt miner is a mining software and ANN are announcement threads on here (Bitcointalk)

WTF are you on about? Ethereum is the most profitable coin to mine on RX 570

I kinda a did 50-50 on both.

Mining has a relatively higher entry point if you don't have a PC already. You can buy coins for any amount. I chose to mine because it's fun and I believe that in long term it is more beneficial.

There is no right fit here, I have been reading people comment/blog about how mining isn't profitable since 2013 (sadly, I believed them back then and refrained from mining even though I had a decent PC). I remember thinking that .2 btc/ month isn't worth my attention 

That is why I used the quotes, as in we believe that to be true, isn't that why we are spending money and time in crypto world? Whether it is or not is something only future will tell.

I just have one Rig and 3 CPUs I mine on. Electricity is cheap enough that I can pay bills without being bothered. But even if someone has to sell 25% of monthly coins generated to pay bills , it's still profitable in long run. Because we all 'know' that a year from now most major coins will be priced higher than they are after this crash

Arionum is not suitable for mining on an AMD processor. I get same hashrate on 4th gen i3 an an octacore AMD FX 8350

I think 2018 will be the year of Privacy Innovation.


We might see projects take off that will threaten Data centric companies like FB and Google, or atleast they'll try to

Had I not bought 4 cards at the start of Jan then I'd be investing in Crypto as well, pretty good time to do that.

I have Gigabyte 3GB (x3) GTX 1060s and they gave 15 MH/s out of the box. 17-18 with OC.

It's twice as profitable to mine Equihash on these. I get 300-310 Sols/s with OC @ 2.94 Watt/Sol or 280 @ 3.02 W/Sol

GPU's MODEL NAME: Gigaybyte GTX 1060 3GB
VRAM:3GB GDDR5
CORE/MEMORY CLOCK: +167/+147
HASHRATE: 308 Sol/s average
MINER SOFTWARE: DSTM
OS: W10 64x
TDP(OPTIONAL): 2.94 W/Sols

Profitability is surely low but is it actually low?

We mine because we believe that in future the crypto we are mining will give us better returns. So mostly it is about holding for long enough that we gain whatever we set out to.

You really need to start thinking in terms of BTC / ETH /whatever you are holding instead of fiat if you want to mine/trade crypto tension free.

This does look interesting, AI and Blockchain seem to one of the hottest projects currently (far better than random forks that do nothing different).

Is there any AIrdrop or Bounty? If so when will the info regarding the same be out?

Many people who have been mining claim that it is not too heavy on phone or battery. If you are interested then I'd suggest you to post your specs and apply for alpha mining so you can check it yourself.

You should try asking this on their telegram channel. Most already accepted members are active there than here

Not necessarily, but you are now approved and whenever they add more miners you'll get it enabled in Dashboard

Hi,

I am a computer science engineer and crypto enthusiast from India, and I'd love to do this. I am generally online between 12 PM (noon) to 2 AM. My personal Twitter account has over 11,000 followers, so I know a thing or two about social media management and interaction.

I have two other friends who will be interested in contributing to your social profile. Both of them are active Twitter users and Science Postgraduates with schooling from highly prestigious convent schools.

Can you post prices please
