Fifth alt coin thread last four got too big.

 Newegg usually has at least one card on sale at $699 (most commonly the Gigabyte Windforce model).

 If you're running riser rigs, though, I'd recommend paying a little more for the Aorus as it's noticeably higher performance and cools a lot better.

Can the 1080ti go on beast mode with Monero and deliver better profits than ZEC?

 1080ti isn't a particularly good Monero mining card. It's EFFICIENT, but the hashrate doesn't justify the price (a BIOS-modded RX 470 can almost match the hashrate at similar power usage).

 Sweet spot there seems to be a modded good-overclocking RX 470/570 or some of the lower-end Pascal NVidia cards (or the GTX 750ti for low-cost rigs still does well at 250 hash/s or so on 50 watts or so power draw in my fairly limited testing that probably was NOT optimised).

Sorry if this isnt appropriate for the thread, but you guys should get on the DeepOnion signature campaign...35 airdrops remain.  I'm just saying, this is the highest paying sig campaign ive ever been in.  Which is why you probably see it all over the forum.  So far my stack is worth maybe 1btc (of course price can change).  For a month.  Lots of rules though.  its an x11 coin I think, only airdrops and POW, then after POS.

Hell, no fancy bios mod required.  An XFX RX 470 with the 1625 strap copied upwards will get you 860+ hashes on Monero and draw not much power.

Phil - Spoondolies and BTCS? What miner did BTCS make? Do you recall?

Looks like worthy competition coming to Canaan and Bitmain.

Thinking of throwing some hash at IntenseCoin for the lulz.

What's the best nvidia mining software for Cryptonight currently? I tried tpruvot's ccminer 2 in a hurry last night but it only produced 50h/s on a 1080... :-/ Must be something better out there (or I got the settings wrong)?

I think the 1080Ti will be long lasting as ETH will be PoS next year.

I was reading  about the amd thread ripper 1920x    claims of 890h  for cryptonight mining

that is about 5 bucks a day using  220 watts  which is about 6 kwatts   60 cents

of course   a mobo + a 1920x + ram + cooler  = 1300

Guys, what is the best place to look for NEW mineable coins?

this lists almost  all the coins

https://coinmarketcap.com/

over 800 of them  at the very least  look at it.

Read it and if you think you can pick a winner have at it.

meanwhile ZEC chugs along 2-5 dollars  about a 3 dollar average on a 1080 ti

Thanks, I look at coinmarketcap few times a day, but I was thinking about where to find coin announcements, to know how to mine a coin from day1. On coin market cap, listed coin are already after its day1...or I'm wrong?

Evaluation if it's worth mining a coin from D1, its a different story, but just wonder what is the best place to look? Kinda messy Announcement thread or some place else?

they are on:
 reddit
bitcointalk announcement thread
twitter feeds
facebook

It's hard to scale with this model, though.  Unless you were looking to make it the base system for adding GPUs on top.

I think there is a thread here where a guy bought some Open compute blades and was doing pretty well in comparison to a GPU rig price and profit wise.

Nice to see XMR rising towards $100! If that keeps up, may extend the useful life of my 24 470's lol.

Was actually considering changing over my 2 rigs that can't dual mine to XMR but it's been so freaking long since I mined it, I couldn't remember the sweet spot for strap-1500 modded 470s... as far as core clock/memory clock settings go.

Something like 1200/1900 rings a bell, but can't remember for sure.  Anyone have any suggestions for this scenario?

BTCS didn't make any miners. They attempted to buy Spondoolies but it didn't work out.

Around the same time they were also trying to build a mine in North Carolina (IIRC) mostly with Spondoolies gear.

I would not expect anything that BTCS does to effectively compete with Canaan or Bitmain.

570s and 580s have dropped heavly in price

i picked up 4 for 269 and an 8GB for 320 today

I think its better to buy those if you have the space

if they drop in price a little more I would agree

XMR doesnt need much memory and I remember the ETH rigs used up to 30% less watts compared to ETH mining. Reduced power or heat are 2 good reasons alone for going to XMR -- post life after ETH and ZEC.

[no1blue]

let say 1080 TI will give us 2-5$ a day so avarage 3$ a day. Price of new card is around 700$

The ROI is : 700 / 3 /30  > 7 month. This is not count Mobo or ram or PSU.

I really want to give it a try but all the numbers are again it.
