can someone recommend best mining pool for skein lately? which is better, blocks factory or zpool? I use minepoolhub to mine skein, pool hashrate is 1T, 0.9%fee, very nice.

Thinking is testing theblocksfactory. Maybe others who use it can share? MPH so far ok. I dont know if that the best as dont hv enough rigs to run few pool at the same time.

So guys, we still haven't decided what is currently the most profitable coin and algorithm for 1080Ti? Currently my setup looks like this:
miner: EWBF 0.3.4b, mining algorithm: equihash, average speed (1 card): 700-720 sol/s, pool: equihash nicehash
My average profitability with EWBF miner with one 1080Ti is: 0,0020 BTC/day (reading taken from nicehash website), which translates to 5$/day. Seems kinda low to me...
I still haven't decided if it's more profitable to mine ZEC directly, deposit it to poloniex, trade it for BTC and then withdraw it back to bitcoin wallet. There is 0,15/0,25% sell fee on poloniex if you want to exchange ZEC for BTC and 0,01 % withdraw fee, if you want to withdraw BTC from your poloniex account to your BTC hardware wallet. So 0,26% fee is the highest fee you're going to pay if you trade your ZEC to BTC and then withdraw it to your BTC wallet on poloniex. Of course that is if you mine on pool without fee (like slush pool) and also excluding 2% dev fee for EWBF miner.
On the other hand nicehash has a total fee of about 4,16% (in my case). On pay day I had 0,0408828 BTC and payment fee was 0,00163531 BTC, so in the end I received 0,03924749 BTC to my bitcoin wallet, which translates to 4,16% payment fee. In case you are wondering 0,00163531 BTC is 4,1$, so I have to mine for nearly one day a week (with one card) just to pay for payment fee on nicehash. But what makes nicehash special is no worries about transferring coins between wallets, trading them and then withdrawing them back to your BTC wallet.
Your thoughts?
What i think right now is, let's think of a coin that's gonna make a boom after the fork. Pick a coin then mine it for a month before the fork, hardware wallet it. Then if you dont want to play the game just use nicehash? Let's forget about the math right now for the upcoming fork. what'd you think? What about MonaCoin, Vertcoin or LBRY? Currently mining these three coins is more profitable than mining ZEC (according to whattomine) and if one of them blows up, then you have hit a goldmine. I'm solely focused on LBRY myself on my 4 1080 TI mining rigs, with the expectaction that it'll bull up in the market with the netx 6-12 months. I could be wrong but that's just my expectation after studying the coin and it's development efforts so far. Thinking about doing the same, but I won't hold large amounts of LBC, instead I will trade it for BTC every week. What miner do you use?

Love my Zotact Amp Extreme. Stock already heavily OC. Running very cool even on my tropical climate. Worth thst extra $ i think totally agree worth every penny i think. i thought at first maybe it wasent but reading others doing 700 sol/s at 95% TDP and here i do 750 at 70% TDP at damn near stock clocks just smiling 75% and 750! Which setting? That is nice. Stable and sustainable? like +150/-400 i believe, tho i have it stock right now as i flashed clean drivers and it does so well i just left it ;p 700+ sol/s +0/+0 I set my current as Amp extreme core. asus tool OC mode +20, reduce limit to 80%, get 720-730 range. Reduced by 50W from 110% default OC mode Amp edition at 90% with 705-710 range That's what I'm getting too and I'm on founders Edition card. 90% tdp. Once again you need to keep in mind you can set the OC to +1000 but it won't give those core clock range if it isn't being given the power.

Also don't forget that a lot of hashing algorithms are not memory-bound - or in other words - don't benefit at all from overclocking your GPUs memory frequency. This way you can extend the lifetime of your GPU and have some less heat produced.
E.g.
EquiHash/Groest/Skein dont care about memory frequency to much, just the core clock. Ethash cares a lot about the memory clock.

Doing 768 sols/s with my 1080 Ti STRIX. That's a new record for me.

ZEC? I was able to do 790 but that was really pushing my FE card. If I overvolted I could easily push 2100MHz+. Keep in mind this is under water though. Running 2x 1080 Ti's (waiting for risers to come tomorrow to run the other 2 1080 Ti's) in LBRY right now and they are running around ~910MH/s. I am pushing my watercooled card harder on the core since it can take it easily and not break 39C.

I might expand soon. My 1080 TI is doing 501 MH/s LBRY.

Hello,
I would like your recommendation to a beginner. I've been on mining on NiceHash for the last month using 5 x Gigabyte 1080 Ti's. The profits have dropped from 8.5$/day to 5$/day (per card). I have been thinking of switching to mining Z-Cash or Ethereum or any other currencies, BUT:
I am from Kuwait (Middle East), and therefore most wallets do not support banks in my country nor my currency. BitOasis is a wallet & trading exchange for BTC and ETH based in Dubai, which do support my bank. The thing is, I can mine BTC to the account, but probably not other currencies.
Using several platforms to move my coins into cash, or even keep them in coin, usually have me end up paying around 12-15% in transaction fees which kills the whole concept of cryptocurrencies. I don't understand why fees are extremely high when the whole concept of digital currencies are advertised to be of almost no fee.
Anyway,
Can someone give me an idea whether I should switch to mining Z-Cash from NiceHash BTC, and, how could I move the Z-Cash to my BTC/ETH wallet in Dubai?
Thanks!

Power target is 104%. Temp is 56 °C and steady. Fan speed is 70%.

Hi Kwiner,
I don't think Ether will get you a lot more than $5 atm. I was doing almost $6 earlier this morning with NiceHash. You might get a bit more.
Try exchanging BTC with people who will give you hard cash for your BTC/coins? You will always lose money on exchanging so... Maybe you will find a nice person who will buy your coins for 95% of their value?
Fees will never go away. Everybody wants to earn and/or has expenses. You will have to accept this. We all do.

Didn't those perform basically the exact same as their gaming counterparts? Also resale will suck on those as they have no video out ports.

Another link http://1stminingrig.com/amd-gpu-shortage-solved-new-nvidia-gpus-mining/Thing is gamers were tired of miners stealing up GPU's lol and driving up prices - so I think they will fill up the demand with this however, why would dedicated miners purchase something that would go zero in value since "difficulty" keeps going up and there won't be a resale. So not sure if it'll even work or not.

ZEC? I was able to do 790 but that was really pushing my FE card. If I overvolted I could easily push 2100MHz+.
Keep in mind this is under water though.
I was watching my new Aorus run 2050Mhz consistantly earlier today, on air and with only a +150 core overclock in Afterburner - I'm pretty sure I could push it a good bit harder as it was only running 69-70C in an 80F ambient at 79-80% fan but I've not had time to play with it much yet. Dang thing is a 3 slot card though (forget those sites claiming 2.5 slots, they're WRONG) - good thing I was planning on that rig to be a 2-card rig (I got one of the Gigabyte 3-fan Windforce models to go with it, but 20/20 hindsight I probably should have gotten a second Aorus). News about the P106-100 is kinda old, and the June 23 date appears to be wrong (they've STILL not been seen in the wild in quantity, except perhaps as bulk-buys by large farms). RX 470 mining-specific cards are kinda up in the air, Newegg has had them listed for a week and some now but I've not seen anyone state they've actually RECEIVED one that they ordered yet - and the initial $250-$270 price doesn't look like it's going to actually happen as the only one they have listed as "in stock" right now is through a 3'd party seller at well over $500. On the plus side, GTX 1070 availability seems to be easing some, and a FEW cards are now available in the under-$500 range as of 10 minutes or so ago.

E.g. EquiHash/Groest/Skein dont care about memory frequency to much, just the core clock. Ethash cares a lot about the memory clock.
What I have noticed for my 3 * EVGA 1080ti SC is that anything below 80%TDP will disable the adaptive boost and revert core clock to adaptive 'base' only. * At 100% TDP all of my cards will boost to 2000Mhz+ * At 70% TDP the boost will disable and they will sit at around 1700Mhz From there I can apply an OC to core of +75hz and it might settle at around 1800Mhz. With no modifier to the memory it will pull 650 sols at this point. But I have found that +350Mhz to memory will make it average 680 sols and 72% TDP seems to quite optimal for this card. As for my 1070, well it loves a high memory clock. I'm at 460 sols with settings of: 80%TDP +76 core +400 memory. Leaving memory at 0 it will pull 420-430 sols.
