Thank you. That's a helpful start.

Would it make sense to upgrade my PSU to be able to support 2 1080ti?

Which manufacturer would you recommend? There are many different 1070ti. I am partial to the 3 fan look, but really am not that knowledgeable about parts overall.

Hi guys, I'm sure this question gets asked a lot but I didn't find a thread that helped me. Please link one that you think will help if you are just going to complain about that.

Last year I bought a 1050ti and I've mined with it occasionally but the resulting profits have been enough for me to want to upgrade to a better GPU or even multiple.

I have:
Antec Earthworks Platinum EA-650 Power Supply
Intel i5-4590 CPU
MSI Z97M-G43 motherboard

I don't think other parts matter, and the case is huge. I'm confident it could hold 2 GPUs comfortably. It's a Milestone Kublai KL05 computer case. In case I'm wrong, it has 16 gigs of Gskill sniper ram and an SSD and 2 HDs.

So what do you think is my best move? Should I be switching to AMD and building a new system entirely? Should I be buying 2 1080ti? or is 2 1060 or 1070 more profitable? I've read varying opinions already, which is why I'm asking here again with, hopefully, all of the specifics you need.

Further, can my system even handle 2 1080ti or whatever else is recommended? And what about those new Nvidea GPUs? The Titan V or XP? Should I just wait for those to come out? Are there some other GPUs I don't know about on the horizon? So many more questions... Do I need to upgrade my power supply? My CPU feels a little outdated at this point.

I guess my budget is around $2500, flexible. One other factor that might matter is power is pretty expensive here. Consider it an average of 10 cents per kwh.

I'm not going to mine any particular algorithm or anything like that, but I'd prefer not to be restricted from mining a particular coin or algorithm because of restrictions like GPU RAM size or whatever people will come out with next. At least for a couple years or something.

The 1050ti was a great entry GPU for me, but I'm not ready to build a rig yet. I just want to upgrade the GPU in the family room PC, lol.

Or should I skip all of this and just buy the new Antminer A3? I don't like that they want to take BCH. I don't want to pay in BCH.

I apparently picked the right time to stumble on this coin. lol.

I guess I'll give you a few blocks to settle this.

Looks fine to me...

Any nodes? Having difficulty connecting. I haven't opened my wallet in quite a while.

Well, damn. The price went up over a dollar briefly today. Crazy.

Whoever is following me around and pumping coins that I comment on, let me in on the action ffs. lol.

Nice to see the price climbing.

The FUD above should be ignored. The network is fine, the dev isn't a scammer. Cryptopia hasn't advertised any plans to delist this coin and I doubt they will be anytime soon considering the price and volume have been increasing.

Won't hear me complaining.

Site is dead, this coin has been dead for months. No idea why the price has risen.

I haven't seen anything about a new dev, but go ahead, buy it, pump it. I still need to sell another 100k or so to pay my credit cards off.

Thanks.

Wrong chain "expert".

I doubt it. Coinsmarkets has had some issues before and they came back. I think it's just a combination of scaling issues and the current news about those chip exploits.

That would require the coin to be PoW, it is not.

You can stake, or run a masternode. That's it.

This coin is weird... Dev had a very small premine, and is still active on forums, but not on this thread.

Coin was even added to Suprnova for a bit there... Chain is working fine. Staking rewards are good.

What happened? Oh well. I will happily go down with the ship.

Better to hope for a takeover, cause this dev has left the building.

Maybe he will come back one day, but I doubt it.

I do think a takeover is possible, but I'm not going to do it. lol.

I heard you're thinking about masternode support?

What ICO? lol

I use it because BTDX masternodes paid my taxes.

ACPR was a scam imo, Aces been dead for a long time.

Still making money off of it, though. lol. Gotta love random pumps.

Chain works and staking rewards are good. I continue to make profits off of this coin well after the dev left. lol

15 confirmations, then random.

I think I average 2 - 3 rewards per day per node, but that will go down as more nodes are added.
