ive tried many suggestions to get my 8x-r9 380's to run with nicehash with no success. anyone have a solution?

had 500+ DGB sitting for 3 days no payot addr: DSzAZij4WtfxhwLTMwwaXRgPxoGQvirHiH Can support take a look at this for me. Thanks for all the work you do!

I did the microsoft Azure free trial, I just pointed them all to minergate. downloaded the Minergate console and entered my email, no bat files or CLI needed. I made like 0.02 BTC so not much but it was free.

so you have roughly $1275 USD. Ethereum is obviously profitble but with growing difficulty and the looming POS I wouldn't recommend going for a cost effective Eth rig like 280x or 270x. I think you would benefit from a more well rounded 3 GPU rig that can has well on other algos. Research R9 290x(great for ethereum) or GTX 970 Strix edition, can find them both used-refurbed-new from $300-$400 grab 3 of those, a MOBO with at least 3 PCI-e slots, most likely 3 risers depending on the board. Mediocre CPU (no more than $50). 50gb-100gb HDD/SSD. And windows if you are going that route. It would be cutting it close on budget, but I think you would benefit more from that more than say a 6 280x refurbed rig.

yes

Try neoscrypt, zpool has a good pool for low hashing rigs and you can be paid out in different coins if you choose

What GPU are you using?

What Algo? What rental service?

I don't have AMD, I run two GTX 970's and I have done it before in ccminer without any short term or long term problems. If you only have one GPU it will basically decrease the hashrate pretty significantly in both instances. Basically your GPU can only compute so much data, overloading it with different Algos will slow both algo's your mining down. (this is my experience in ccminer) Now if you have multiple GPU's, in ccminer i set --cuda-devices in conf to run one of my GTX 970's on one ALGO in one instance, then another instance on my other GTX 970 coputing a different ALGO...some algo's will play nice and some don't together. x-11/x-15 works fine no significant differenct in hashrate. decred/vcash works fine together for me and some others. Neoscrypt isn't friendly with running multiple instances with any other algo in my experience. Anyways thats my take on it, not sure about SGminer but I'm pretty positive it would have a similar result, especially if only mining on one GPU.

Selling 5000 MNT for 1000 sats each. PM me if your interested. Use to start a masternode...Buy all 5000 or sacks of 1000

I mined a full 24 hr's solo. I hit 50 or so Monet and have staked it since the beginning I now have over 8000. My stake weight is typically 5%-20% of net weight. Distribution is fine, mine or buy while the stake weight is low then just leave your wallet on all day every day. I will be starting a masternode hopefully this weekend.  wallet image http://s24.postimg.org/utgv5vyd1/2016_04_12_11h37_38.png

Dev, I sent you an email with some OP ANN design ideas. Let me know, coin won't gain traction till it looks legit.
