Done, jeez has that been there all these years?! I had no idea, hey who says a newbie cant help you learn something new.

Here is a list of great supported, often updated miners from a well respected developer.

I recently downloaded the windows GUI wallet, but it seems to be having a issue connecting to network.
Just stays red and i haven't a address in which to send coins to. Where might i find my deposit addy so i can use it to start mining?

The thing about whattomine and coinwarz is that alot of time those top coins that everyone using the sites see, will also be the coins with the highest difficulties and hasrates needed.
Decent for mining for a steady source of income, but not so much if you seek the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow before FOMO kicks in.

Ideally(in my case anyway) you want to mine those hot popular coins like ETH, ZEC, LTC, XMR  even BTC long before they got popular and long before every rig under the sun is chugging away at them.
In this way you can easily accumulate stacks of bags of coin in preparation for the time that coin may be the next big thing. Remember when you could easily mine 20,40,60+ ETH a day no problem with a entry level rig?
Yeah those days are long long gone lol. But if you did and you saved those ETH? You are set in this game.

So that is really imo "The best coins to mine". The ones that will give you the most return for your hash early on, before they hit big. If they dont hit big, that is ok. Part of the risk in crypto.

Well that sucks, new born crypto has moved to a paid service. Understandable for them i suppose, alot of research goes into this sorta mining.

Thanks guys

I see this question alot, and the usual trolling/sh1tposting and unhelpful replies that follow.

In good faith i will share some tips and tricks on what coins to mine, with a focus on finding newer coins with high volume returns.
So without further ado, lets gets down to the brass tacks.

Check: https://coinmarketcap.com/new/
Only coins with 100k daily market volume get listed so, so it gives you a idea of coins that have at least some action.
Tip: Coins with a asterisk are not mining coins.

Nicehash has a profitability calculator that will show the best current algorithms to mine if you prefer to go for highest gains possible only and its respective coins.
This is so volatile i prefer not to bother with it, but i mine alot of coins i intend to hodl, shelf and forget about till i realize they either never made it, or made me a ton

Research coins listed on this page: https://newborncryptocoin.com/new-cryptocurrencies-list/
Alot of these coins you wont hear about anywhere or even know they exist, and they are nicely placed all in one great spot.
Be sure to donate something, alot of time and research goes into this page.

Check: CoinDesk and other well known crypto news sources. Coins and ICO's getting mentions in the industry news have a leg up.

Information: https://coincodex.com/
Alot of information can be found here. news, exchanges, ICO listings etc etc.

Check Twitter: Twitter has alot of "crypto OG's" such as WolfReloaded, WhalePanda, IAmNomad, PanamaCrypto etc etc. Follow the industry leaders.
I got a big break through in XMR thanks to one of these people.

Follow exchange twitters and research the coins they announce they will list.

Check: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0
I typically sort by replies and review the projects with the most, looking for new minable coins. I spend alot of time lurking in here.

Spend at least a few hours or researching these things and more to find great coins to mine.
There is no easy answer and everyone has their own reasoning, opinions and beliefs for "what is the best to mine".
It takes time, research and hard work to be at the top of the game in mining or trading.
If you want easy i suggest getting you get a forex broker. or paying a fee to one of the many private trading groups.
A professional will do all this for you. But it wont be cheap.  https://www.bitcoinmasons.com/ is a great place, one of many.

If anyone else has some tips and tricks to share, feel free to do so.

Ok ok i will bite and give the benefit of the doubt. How does this deal work out?

For a upfront investment of just $50 USD, am i right?

Thank you sir. Successful trade of ETH for PP completed.

sent a PM your way, looking for some paypal. Thanks mate

150 is nice, mine is 160-175w good for about 3.95 Sol/w average

What is the lowest you guys have been able to get your 1080Ti's on the power target settings?
I have been able to get mine as low as 68% but any lower and it crashes the system.

Interesting project. Keeping tabs on this.

With the ETH you can undervolt GPU a good bit and still be fine. I see the thing uses tons of unneeded power when mining ETH so undervolt and underclock the heck out of it till it crashes then come back up a bit till stable.

A bit of a noob question, but what is the HBCC?

That is impressive, well done.

Got the NVIDIA to work as well, thanks ton for a easy to use guide.

However it does seem to be a bit under performing, maybe slow to accept shares.

This is the setup i have for it so far.

"gpu_threads_conf" : [
  { "index" : 0,
    "threads" : 83, "blocks" : 56,
    "bfactor" : 16, "bsleep" :  32,
    "affine_to_cpu" : false,
  },

The miner recommended setup when i first started froze up everything so i tweaked the bfactor and bsleep some.
I am getting 730 H/s with this.

Anyone else here able to get more out of their 1080Ti?


 

Ok figured out how to get the AMD version running on GPU RX 580.
Now to see if i can get the NVIDIA miner working on my machine with the GTX 1080Ti

I think i am setting up the config file wrong for the xmr stak AMD miner as i keep getting this error.
 "JSON config parse error(offset 24): Missing a name for object member."

This is the config file i am trying:

"gpu_thread_num" : 1,
{ "index" : 0, "intensity" : 1000, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },
"pool_address" : "pool.sumokoin.com:3333",
"wallet_address" : "Sumoo5ngxhL3Fo4v9j5MZqgrK2UYJUH56HA8Vbp1fG3PNe6WbUwMx8w89EjVjmEjiUjXoGvaGTbhTMJ GubrSHwY8Hi4A4hTK4WK",
"pool_password" : "x",

Any idea what might be causing this error?
