Dear Friends

Has anyone changed the mining of eth to etc?
What program and command line are you using?

and ETH have the value of 137 us$ per month

Thanks

This should be in the mining section but yeah, ETC does make more money now but once other miners see this then they will jump on board and the difficulty will adjust and profits will be the same as eth or less.

ETC is in what I call "the basket" of currently profitable GPU mined coins.
If the profitability goes up on one coin in the basket, folks move hashrate into it out of the others and the profitability shifts on all the coins in the basket 'till they are more or less even again.
This is NOT a "coordinated" thing of course, so there is always SOME variation in profitability on the coins in the basket that usually changes from day to day or even from hour to hour.

 ETC/ETH/ZEC/XMR/the other ZCash version seem to be the primary contents of "the basket" at this point.


 NVidia rigs have a couple other options where they are a lot more profitable than AMD rigs, but Nvidia rigs are a lot less common than AMD rigs since NVidia cards are rarely competative on $/hash vs AMD for most of coins that are the most profitable, so the basket is defined by what AMD rigs can mine profitably.



 Also, any calculator will give different results depending on YOUR circumstances, and in many cases will very even for different RIGS for the same person.
 Type of card used, how hard you are pushing overclocking, undervolting, BIOS mods, cost of electric are ALL factors that can change what is the most profitable at any specific time.
