I see people make their own miners, are they safe and do they work?

[Digital Drug Lord]

I see threads for people that make miners but im wondering if there is a night and day difference between the 2?

im using a program called cryptogoblin and this was its result on my 15 7600k'

will one of these programs people post here double my power?

What do you mean people make their own miners?  Are you talking about those of us who build multiple gpu miners?

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.

yeah what are all these miners and what do they do? will they give me more power? Im looking to get a vega 56 or 64 to put in my pc, I already have a 1070.

are there any ones you can recommend for my 1070 and if so how would it help me today?

are there any ones you know about that might help with my future set up of 1070 with a vega?

[gotminer]

No I already told you that I personally wouldn't mix AMD and Nvidia in the same rig.  And no, you'll probably have to run two seperate miners on the same rig if you have a 1070 and a Vega in the same rig.  If you want to mine XMR with your Vega, you'll have to run a miner that does that.  If you want to mine ZEN with your 1070, you'll have to run a miner for that.  More headaches to deal with in the same rig.  I don't like it.

If you're only going to run two cards, get a 1070ti or a 1080ti to run with your 1070 and start mining a coin that uses the equihash algo.  You can research other algo's, because Nvidia will do quite a few pretty well.

Are you referring to things like claymore, dstm, gateless gate #, ewbf, etc? Just different folks writing variously optimized software.

yes these other things what do they do thats so special if they dont give you any power and you cant mix and match video cards, what can you do with the software?

none of this software can make my 1070 more powerful then whats the point? any real world examples of what these things can do?

[gotminer]

You fucking mine coins with the software via whatever pool you want to mine with.  You obviously don't understand mining at all.  Start reading.  Jesus Christ man.

try cloud mining, but they kinda regulate the use of their CPU power into mining so lucky if you will not get caught. but the thing is its free for 1 year hehe using your credit/debit card

This is one of those threads that actually lowers your IQ after reading

[danialzo]

What the fuck are you guys talking about?! Jesus! Please read, watch videos and have some basic understanding before posting/asking.

[malthrax]

some people are just fucking thick in the head.

And raises your perception of your IQ. You end up thinking "If these are regular humans, I must be a genius" 

[Rasanders22]

I do all my hashing with pen and paper. My hash rate is low but my power consumption is 0

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you've only headed this route because someone has told you that you can make invisible money to do digital drugs or whatever so it sounds like it might behoove you to take a step back and ask why can't a thing do something instead of why can't I make more digital drugs so here goes;

• mix & match GPU doesn't work w/ windows because of how display drivers work. search DDU to find a thing that someone made because even left over mix/match display drivers don't like each other.
• different invisible cryptothings use different algos to do it a different way. now you learn more copycoins than unique algorithms
• different algos will work different ways so, sometimes, you'll find that different underlying architecture can be exploited to perform a calculation faster. go much simpler by searching CPU optimization and feature sets
• after some researching into what GPU you want to buy next, check MSRP and don't pay 150% + if you ever want to ROI. Now you cooked a card and more stuff because you neglected its TDP and/or assumed 180W 1080 wouldn't draw too much from your 250W drug store special computer but you learn that CPU and HDD have published TDP as well or you learn about a killawatt
• this wall of text you decide to only read the last line and goto whattomine.com and see how different arch can vary from one algo to the next and you go buy Titan Xp. again, you let the ghost out because it has even higher TDP and you just missed some clues on things to go search and learn more better

Did you find success with all the mining softwares you have tried man?

What is the best mining app for you?

Digital Drug Lord's last login was on January 6, 2019: Profile link He's inactive.

But the previous replies should be sufficient: you can't double your hashrate just by using other mining software unlike the OP said.
The difference is normally a few percentage in exception to badly-written ones which produces much lower than normal hashrate than the rest (that might be the OP's case).

[dentolas]

I have also seen a few of those examples you mention. Some people code their mining software and get higher hasrates on some algos.
I have used one or two of these, and one of those doubled the hasrate on the coin I was mining at the time... but this is vey dangerous, as you need to absolutely trust the source of the files
