What are you mining and why?

[spydud22]

Hey everyone,
 Im curious to know what everyone is mining to know what i should be mining. i hodl around 30 different types of coins in my two years of mining and been through tons of shitcoins/funcoins too. Gpu/asic/ even CPU coins id like to know about.

i have
23mh/s scrypt asic
bunch of different cpus
couple of g cards.

  thanks

I mining HODLcoin now.. u can try mining it.. 1 HODL ~ 0.0001BTC at OTCmarket now! And will increasing more.. They have very charming interest

Funny you mention Hodl haha i mined lastweek before the hashrate got insane like it is now. sold all of thrm already (minus the ones i hodl)

I'm mining SpliffCoin because the devs abandoned it. There's so few people mining it, most of the coins are going straight to me. I'm also collecting the cheap dumps from the exchange it's listed on. Once I feel I've collected enough, I plan on rebranding it and using it as the currency on a game server I'm working on.

[Vaccomondus]

decred but i have only one 970 and i'm not satisfied with the earning so far less than expected

I think I was too late to the game for Decred What are you mining with?

I'll give it a go. I used to smoke spliffs haha What pool are you on if you want me to help out mining/ or a different pool if you dont =p.

[Exsumane]

I mine Ethereum, it gives me most profit and the price is high. But the network hash rate rises fast. So it might not be profitable in the future.

i said with a single 970, i was planning to add another, but based on the estimate i should get 1.5 decred instead i'm getting only 1 per day, dunno why, there is some major inefficiency perhaps

[QuintLeo]

Litecoin, because it's profitable and the price and difficulty have been fairly stable for about a year now (since the block reward halfing).

 Was mining Bitcoin, but the diff increases have gotten crazy again of late, waiting to see what the 14/16nm generation holds before I decide if I'm going to get back into that or not.

[Cyaren]

I'm mining Doge ATM with my genesis mining hashrate. The price increase is in favor of me

[zaph3t]

Im mining nothing just Staking and Masternoding. Mining is a Waste of time, Energy and Money - unless you have BIG
Hashrates or something.

Haha sweet, I'd love the help!

[brightminds]

i'm currently mining,  piggycoins,LTC,Gcoin,Dotcoin.  Piggcoin for long term investment, LTC hold value, Gcoin can be convert to Dodgcoin, Dotcoin convert to Dodgecoin.   So i'm only using altcoin to hold value or retain for long term.

[Kalder]

I mine Ethereum as I only have graphics cards. I keep some of the coins and sell the rest for the bitcoin.

[Fappanu]

You do not need too big hash rate. For Ethereum mining, you just a few 280x or 370 to earn a few dollars a day.

[BigBoom3599]

I'm currently mining HOdl on my cpu and am on a multipool with my gpu.

[Vaccomondus]

how much hodl per day with your cpu?

How profitable it is to mine the Decred? Is it more profitable than mining the Ethereum or other coins?

[Dotnetin]

I mine some Ethereum. As I have GPU and it is the most profitable coin to mine at the moment. If there is another  one, I will mine as well.

[Grctest]

I'm crunching Gridcoin - mapping the milkyway and folding proteins for profit!

[North1234]

Please provide more information.

[Kalder]

Please provide more information.

I mine Ethereum and sell most for Bitcoin. It is the most profitable coin to mine for my GPU. I just want to keep a few of that.

[Sarspin]

I also mine the Ethereum. The trade volume of this coin is quite large. So I can sell the mined coin in the market easily.

[mikewillda]

I mine Ethereum at the moment. It is most profitable to me at the moment. I will try other profitable coin such as Decred later.

[Dotnetin]

I also mine Ethereum. But I am thinking of mining Decred in the future as that is also very profitable.

[umop-apisdn]

I gonna start soon, so I'll be checking in here

[mikewillda]

I would mine any coin that make me most profit. I do not hold those coins, I will just convert them to bitcoin.

[Raja_MBZ]

Ethereum... currently better to mine ether than bitcoin.

[Sarspin]

Athereum... currently better to mine ether than uᴉoɔʇᴉq.

I only mine with GPUs. I can sell the GPU after I finish mining. But for the bitcoin, it is difficult to sell after it is not profitable.

[Kalder]

For the time being, it is very profitable to mine Ethereum, but we do not know how long that will last.

The price has dropped to $10 now. So it might not be profitable if the difficulty double again in the next few months.

[Roxinhojp]

I recomend RoxoCoin, its starting now on the "Market"

[mikewillda]

It is still quite profitable to mine Ethereum. So many people are building mining rigs to mine it. The difficulty is rising fast.

[Fappanu]

I mined a few X11 coins in the last few days as they are the most profitable. I start to mine Ethereum again.

[Attilaloe]

I mining Decred for few weeks, the net Hashrate not growing fast, butthe current price is not the best, i hope it will rising in the next few weeks...

[mikewillda]

I mining Decred for few weeks, the net Hashrate not growing fast, butthe current price is not the best, i hope it will rising in the next few weeks...

The net hash rate of Decred is growing fast now. This is due to the release of the dual Eth and DCR miner.

[Dentidan]

I mine Ethereum. It is still quite profitable to do so although not as profitable as before. I will not increase my rigs.

[NetNeo]

I mining magi(xmg) , because ;Magi strives for every single effort to make mining be available to everyone, and provides an even playing field for people looking to issue digital coins without expensive equipment, i believe it

[QuintLeo]

Started mining Ethereum on my new machine - it was designed for combined RC5 (A10 GPU) / Mersenne Primes (A10 CPUs) / Folding@home (3 x GTX 950) work but I decided to repurpose the GTXs to mining for a while to help pay for part of the cost of the rig while Ethereum is profitable.

 Depending on what happens to DASH with the new but VERY LIMITED IN NUMBERS so far ASIC rig for X11, I might switch over to DASH mining for a short while once Ethereum becomes unprofitable or goes PoS and can't be mined.

 Once Ethereum and DASH are no longer profitable or barely break-even at best, I'll switch the GTXes back over to F@H and generate a few Curecoin while I'm at it.


 No, it's nowhere near an "optimal" mining rig - it's a "use what I got while it CAN mine effectively" rig.

 8-)



I'm learning to like the EVGA PrecisionX utility. Tried MSI's Afterburner, but couldn't even READ the bloody display on the thing due to excessive use of tiny dark fonts on a near-black background, and a VERY PITA method for switching between vidcards (on my machine it was showing the A10 as the first *5* GPUs somehow, THEN the 3 GTX950s, then the A10 a couple MORE times - and very ANTI-INTUITIVE and mildly PITA method to switch between GPUs, as well as a notable less friendly UI in general).

 I remember using some other utility on a couple of my 7750s at one point (probably something Sapphire put on one of their driver discs) that I also kinda liked, but don't remember if it worked as well - and all the 7750s are in Linux boxes now so they're all about aticonfig any more....

I've been actually folding and working on CURE coin.

I got dual 980 GPU's and an i7-5820k folding and making about the same amount of CURE -> BTC as I would mining BTC with just my miners.

[QuintLeo]

 Ah, but Bitcoin is pretty much ZERO return the last few years for GPU mining - ASIC got too efficient and powerfull too long ago  for SHA256.

 How many PPD are you averaging and how many Curecoin per day on average do you generate with that rig?

[Liquid71]

I mine shit coins, because they are more profitable than legit coins 

[Estimated]

I mine shit coins, because they are more profitable than legit coins 

But the profitability of these coins are very short. They are must pump and dump coins. After the dump, it is worth zero.

On average around 300-370 Curecoin per day depending on the WU's that are completed.

I'm not mining BTC with my GPU, i'm using my 980's to fold and get curecoin in return, which I then exchange on poloniex for BTC. My PPD is around 600,000 points a day. It fluctuates between 580,000 - 610,000. The longest Work Unit my computer has had to to was 4 hours. CPU based WU's are around 2 hours, and most of the GPU WU's are 3 hours.

who care, you only need them for increase your bitcoin, after you take your profit those coin are worth nothing to you anyway, dump and move to the other

this game is endless will last forever, there is a big business here, big miners are also behind those coins, i suspect...

I see. We just need the shit coins to get to the bitcoin. It is not our concern if the shit coins will last long.

[mikewillda]

I mine the Ethereum, I keep most of the Ethereum as I think its price will rise further in the next few months.

[shanerc563]

I gave up with mining any more.  The mining is not worth it anymore.  I have spent more  money mining than what I have brought in to cover my expenses.  I play with miner gate a little but that is all any more.

[QuintLeo]

Mine the shitcoins while they're profitable, then shut down (or in my case revert to my competative nature on crunching other stuff) 'till the next profitable shitcoin comes along, then mine THAT for a while, rinse and repeat.

But in the background I have some real miners running.....

I am mining some Ethereum. It is still quite profitable. But the difficulty is rising very fast at the moment.

[giagge]

Yes Ethereum .

[kwaasteniet]

I mine now Burst and sometimes Digibyte. Burst because it is HDD mine-able and hardly cost no extra electricity and/or CPU power. And Digibyte is the only coin I can profitable mine with my laptop en simple GPU.

How much profit do you get from mining Burst?

how to calculate what hash rate will i get on my x1 380x and x2 370?

[Cryptozillah]

Feathercoin.

10x750Ti:s with a bit oc = 210w

[mikewillda]

Feathercoin.

10x750Ti:s with a bit oc = 210w

The feather coin is quite profitable recently. The price has doubled from a few weeks ago. I might mine some.

[Amph]

Feathercoin.

10x750Ti:s with a bit oc = 210w

are you sure, mine was 600w not 210, you have undervolted heavily? because it is almost impossible to consume only 20w for one 750ti

[Cryptozillah]

If my voltmeter is working correctly all my ten overclocked cards are pulling around 210w from the wall. I will look into it when i get back home though.
The temp in the area around the rigs dropped to pretty much nothing after i went NeoScrypt.

edit. Now when i started thinking a bit it might be that one of my kids have been messing around with the buttons on the voltmeter and switched it to Volt. I will check it when i get back home later today
I only checked the numbers on the display quickly some day ago when i switched algo.

[adaseb]

210watt in total or 210watt each?

No way its in total.

How much did your ETH rigs use?

[Cryptozillah]

They are running at like 600w in total with two systems included.
The kids had been messing around with the buttons on my voltmeter and switched it to volt lol..
