That's true I actually didn't know Ethereum halved their block rewards in januari this year, I just looked it up, and yes that makes a huge difference.
So the only people who are mining this are people with super low electricity costs or people who think Ethereum is going to reach a better price again.
Personally I definitely think Ethereum is undervalued at the moment especially with the rewards that halved but that's just my opinion.
When eth hit $1400, block reward was 5 eth, now as the block reward was reduced to 2 eth, if you think about, eth can reach 60% more than $1400 if bitcoin reaches 20k again, so $1400 + $840 = $2240 but I do believe eth can reach higher than this, if btc hits $20k again then eth will be around $3k by that time, 10 times higher than now. I think Eth has room to run, but not like it did in Jan 2018. Shitcoin ICO mania isnt going to pump it like that again. |

How if you try this, you can continue to mining ethereum but auto-convert the coin to ravencoin so you can get more rewards than you mining ravencoin directly. Or you can buy more GPU to install on your computer, and you can get more hash power to mining  Besides whattomine, you can try to visit on this websiteHe can't mine ETH with his card, it's a 1060 3GB so he switched to another coin to continue mining I mean, he could still mine ETH with his 1060 3GB because according to whattomine and the site I give, he can mining ETH. So if he is mining ETH, he can convert the rewards into RVN or other profitable coins he wants and he can use miningpoolhub for the pool because I see that ETH and RVN were available on that site and I think he can get much RVN from mining ETH. He can't mine ETH with his card, I'm sorry but you´re wrong in this case, unless some dev found a way to, it's impossible to mine ETH with less than 3Gb Vram Whattomine is a good site to only estimate your earnings and help you to start I dont think whattomine differentiates between 3gb and 6gb 1060s. I actually put my 1060s on Monero this morning...not because it's the most profitable, but because I just want to mine a few more of them |

My current rigs are all using wired connection through wifi adapter. I am planning to move to use usb wifi adapter. The reason is to make rig more compact. Any suggestions from the community. My worry is that wifi connection may not be good due to proximity of GPUs. Any recommendation for the USB wifi adapter would be appreciated. Thank you.
I wouldnt recommend wifi for mining....just another potential issue to tinker with. I've always had connectivity issues w/ wifi when I've run rigs on it. I have no idea if it was my access point, line of sight issues, interference or what...I just hard wired everything and solved the problem. The only rig I run wireless consistently is the test bench I use to configure individual cards, test PCIE risers, etc....and that's only because I end up moving it around a lot. I do have spare usb wifi dongles plugged into some rigs though, just in case a switch dies or something. |

MSI After Burner
Radeon Crimson
RX 470/570 with Themartake 650 Smart Bronce
RX 470/580 with Sentey Stell Nitro Power 550 White
(are 2 PCS)
Hello, i have 2 RX 470 and 2 RX 570. and i want OC this cards (the amount in USD is awesome superior, about 30% per card). But... the wires of my powersuply come hotter, and the temperature of cards is very higher.
For example:
Without OC:
1700 memory clock and 0.6 USD, Temp: 69%
With OC:
2200 Memory clock and 1 USD, Temp 89%
The real problem isnt the temp, becouse i can put a external fan. But the energy consumition will be higher
Also, i dont want kill my powersuply.
Finally, i want know a correct and good Overclocking config for this, for:
High Money, High temperature, Normal energy consumition in month
Currently, i am thus:
Very high diference to earned money, but extreme consumition energy and xtreme high temperature and maybe FATAL use of my cards.
So, what can i do for this? I am sure of touch only the memory clock
Turn the power down on your overclock. 15% or so, there will be a sweet spot ratio of power draw per hash on damn near every individual card if you really want to dial it in. I've never gotten a 470 or 570 to run stable (i.e. weeks) at 2200 memory clock...I dont think I've ever gotten one to run at 2200 without immediately crashing the GPU driver. I have most of mine around 1950. I probably lost the silicon lottery on all of them. Turn down the core clock on ethash...1100 or so, less if they stay stable. On the PSU: Dont run it at > 80%. For the PCIE cables, Dont run more than 280 watts on a single wire (470/570 should stay under 140 watts easily on ethash or CN). Avoid pushing any of those limits. Dont run more than one riser per SATA wire. |

Hello, I have 2 mining rigs that are exactly the same, one of them is working perfectly fine but the other one just randomly freezes every 10-12 hours and stops the mining. I don't know what can be the problem. If you guys have any solutions please help me out!
My Specs:
GTX 1070 (12)
Asrock 110 Pro BTC+
8gb ram
2 1300W PSU
What rdluffy said. In my experience, it's almost always the clocks or some kind of an odd windows conflict after an update (particularly for modded bios...). Check cable connections & general maintenance on the rig (dust), then DDU wipe & clean reinstall the GPU drivers, and run it with stock clocks to see if the problem repeats. If that doesnt fix the problem, start hunting for a finicky riser. |

Hi,
over one year ago I had to switch my Nvidia 1060 3GB GPUs from Ethereum to Ravencoin. Was a good decision I think and mined a lot.
Since 2 months now RVN difficulty exploded. (Does anyone know the reason?)
So I think I should switch to another coin again now.
Which one would you suggest for my old GPUs?
I have one 3gb 1060 rig left. I just leave it auto-switching between Nicehash, MPH and ZPool. |

Just wondering if I can utilize my old PCs to start mining cryptos. But not sure where to start for those old types of equipment. Need advice.
Here is some small information about the equipment I have in my storeroom:
What I'm looking for? Which GPU should I buy for each PC? I mean which one will support with them. Also, you can suggest any CPU mining coin.
1. Quad-core 2.9, Intel G41 mainboard, 8 GB RAM, 1 GB internal graphics
Which GPU best suits this one for mining? (if any)
2. Core 2 Duo, Intel G31 mainboard, 4GB RAM, 1 shared graphics
Which GPU best suits this one for mining? (if any)
3. Core i5-650, H-55 mainboard, 4GB RAM, 1 GB onboard graphics
Which GPU best suits this one for mining? (if any)
Thanks in advance for your valuable time.
If you just want to learn how to mine, sure. You can use any of those CPUs to mine coins. Turn one on, set up a bitcoin wallet, download awesome miner and point it at nicehash and/or mining pool hub. Then start tinkering with it. It'll take years to mine enough to actually get a bitcoin payout, though. You can probably use most any of that w/ a GPU or two. Depends on how many pcie slots/lanes each has available....but GPU mining most any alg requires very little from the cpu. Really just need enough CPU & RAM to run the OS. If you ever get to the point where you want to spend a little money and build a proper mining rig? Buy a used MoBo designed for multiple GPUs & mining. It's just less of a PITA. |

So, fans die every once in a while. Other than EBay, where's a good place to find GPU replacement fans? Preferably a place where the cost doesnt make it tempting to just buy a replacement card & sell the one with faulty fans for parts?

I've heard people saying that Bitcoin mining is no longer profitable in 2019... but the value of each Bitcoin has risen though, right? I have a gtx 1080, two 1070, and plan to use a 1250w PSU. Will I be able to make some revenues?
I am completely a newbie...
Depends on what algo you have them on, how well you have them tuned, difficulty/net hash, etc. That said, assuming you are on ethash 24/7 w/ ethlargement pill @ ~ 100 MH/s, gross would be ~ .21 ether a month (at least, as of today. It'll vary). |

Serious miners are in locations that don't require additional costs for cooling. You maybe should quit mining or only do it in the colder months for the free heat.
That's kinda harsh... There's a place for "serious" miners. There's also a place for "Hobby" miners. I have 120 GPUs running in a couple locations, including my house ... does that qualify me as "serious"? I have no idea... but I dont really think so. I think of it as something more along the lines of ... say... golf. A hobby I take seriously and spend a ton of money on, but I still suck at it. At least I dont throw GPUs into lakes like I do clubs. No doubt dude... I bet you there are more non serious miners than the serious miners that live in areas that don't need something like this. Every gpu matters... I'm just trying to help the next one in line. This thing made my wife happy and I bet it will make someone else's wife happy too. Happy wife, happy life. Or at least...UNhappy wife = UNhappy life. As such, my quality of life improved IMMENSELY when I moved the asic noise elsewhere =D |

I see threads for people that make miners but im wondering if there is a night and day difference between the 2?
...
Nope, but a second gpu will double your hashing power. And guess what ... A third one will triple it! Holy Jesus! I can do math! ... Lol. I laft. |

Better try to find a multipool that supports new coin additions and pick the coin you want to be left over with. Maybe a better choice.
Unless you want to spend a great deal of time researching new projects, then trading them into whatever coin you want to hodl, this is a good "lazy" option. If you only have one rig and it's running windows, download awesome miner and set up a yiimp pool. |

I recommend you to use some 3rd party software where you can benchmark your cards with any different algos and you will see all profit per day.
Like awesomeminer you can do benchmarking using their software to all algo available in their list.
After that check your statistics provider and check both whattomine and coinscalculators now you can check the coins tab and you will see all coins that your GPU can mine just click the profit so that it will sort from most profitable to low profitability coins.
Awesome miner will just keep your 470s on ethash, occasionally cnv4 (but not often). It'll only touch a "new"/low difficulty coin if it's on a YIIMP pool...which your 470s will never get to if you have MPH and/or Nicehash enabled. Basically it'll just bounce between Eth/ETC (occasionally expanse or music) on MPH, or whatever ethash shitcoin someone on Nicehash bought hash power for. NV cards will bounce around all over the place though. edit: last 30 days on a new 8x 470 build: Eth: 69.38% ETC: 13.33% MPH CNV4: 12.51% SupportXMR CNV4: 4.79% |

Guys whattomine says rx470 4gb should mine ETH or ETC , but is there a more profitable options ?
These cards now cost 100$ and can be used as a heater for a home. Any suggestions?
ethash or CrytpoNightV4 |

I've been using a combination of boards that I bought used from 2016-end of 2017. Currently, with prices as low as they are on hardware I'm consolidating all my random_board_01 4-6 GPU rigs into 8-12 GPU rigs using Asus b-250 mining expert boards (30 to 50 usd on ebay used, 60 usd on amazon new) and 8gpu vedah frames (25 usd new on amazon) as I add new cards. Just want to make configurations/maintenance a bit more uniform across the farm, to save time and a bit of electricity.
Out of all the boards I've ever used for mining, this one has been the easiest to configure & maintain. Rock solid and highly expandable. Only real downside I've seen from it is lack of an m.2 slot, but I've never seen a real need for that on a gpu rig.
I've thought about trying some riserless boards so I could ditch the headache of troubleshooting/finding bad risers...but just haven't done so.

I just reinstalled Windows 10 and reinstalled everything. I have modded my GPU but still getting a same hashrate. Please see my setting and advise what I have done differently. Thank you  Did you set your gpu to compute mod from amd settings? 10 Uninstall adrenaline driver with DDU. 20 Reboot. 30 Reinstall blockchain driver. 40 If bios mod = no, goto 70 50 If bios mod = yes, goto 60 60 Run atikmdag-patcher.exe. Click yes. 70 Reboot |

That is actually an excellent point, but I would assume that a higher profit coin would also have enough liquidity in the market such that you could sell it easily. You certainly wouldn't want to mine a coin that isn't listed on exchanges and that no one is interested in.
Being able to mine new POW coins before they get listed is one of the major advantages of GPU mining. Just takes time to find & vet new projects. |

It will be worthless much faster. Expect a massive pricedrop after a few months. A year later they are even worthless on Ebay, so they will have no resale value. This means Bitcoin have to jump massively in price to earn some money here, which wont really happen that fast.
Buying Asics is a high risk and gambling. Also they are noisy as hell, hold that in mind!
Other problem with ASICs...they just arent any fun at all. You plug them in, point them at a pool and then....well, that's basically all you do with them other than cleaning them every so often or maybe replacing a fan. No spontaneous software conflicts to deal with, no optimization tweaking, no algo switching, etc. Different people mine for different reasons. Immediate/medium/long term profits, supporting the ecosystem, whatever. For me it's basically just a great big video game I had to build a massive computer network to play. I have 20 GPU rigs across three different locations (electricity deals). One of those rigs rotates to my home office every week so I can do maintenance, tinker with settings, decide what algo it's going to be on, etc. I know what cards are in each of them, etc. Hell, I even gave them all names instead of numbers (Autobots = Nvidia, Decepticons = AMD =D) because for some goofy reason it's easier for me to keep track of them in my head. Rig one means nothing...but Optimus Prime is memorable! I have two z9 minis. They just run, I never even look at them. To be completely honest, off the top of my head I couldn't even tell you where they are. |

Ya I just got a good deal on 1.5 years old 4x MSI 580s 8 GB.
Will be looking out for more such deals.
And yes Indian banks(most of them); pay 7-8% interest, so basically in 14 years approx, you'll double your money.
I've been doing pretty much the same, mostly grabbing 470s when I find a Sapphire or XFX for 60 to 75 used. Planning to build a couple NVidia rigs after that...and will probably go with new 1660ti instead of used 1070. That will basically tap out all the power I want to use, then I'll start focusing on upgrading tech on the existing rigs. 7-8% doubles in 10.2-9 years. 5% doubles in 14. I need an Indian bank. If I want 8%, it's equities. Fixed & liquid is 1 to maybe 2. |
