If you seriously engage in assembly of the RIG, then you need to consider everything. I'm using my old PC on an AM3 socket with 5 PCI-E. I want to put three cards inside one PC case. I can order cheap video cards from China at a 30% discount and will not have to pay customs duties. And I do not have extra money for an expensive card  On the other hand, on the exchange, you can (if you're lucky) earn more than mining. But this is not about Intens coin. At this time only hopes.

I'm mine ETH and IC on video cards. For Ehterium is not so important core frequency, as memory. Therefore, the consumption of electricity is less. And it can be immediately exchanged for other altcoins on the exchange. And for IC everything is ahead.
I Think Power consumption mining intense coin normally is lower than mining ethereum. At least for my graphic cards (1060 and 1070). It is also shown on whattomine.com. My 1060 is 70W for cryptonight and 90 W for ethash. But it also depends on settings of the GPU. You can also mine intensecoin with CPU. The capacity of the etherium production can be reduced to 60 watts per 1063 almost without loss.  But for the ITNS, it is better to increase the core, which will lead to more energy consumption. But even with higher core frequency it does not fully utilize the core with cryptonight. I Think best is to check with a Power meter. Should not be big difference anyway. I got cooler temps mining ITNS so my guess is that it draw less Power but have not mesured anything to prove it. Anyway AMD cards are generally better than nvidia for ITNS mining so there might be better options with nvidia mining other coins and buying ITNS. However I mined a lot ITNS last year when difficulty was lower and then I used all my CPU and GPU's no matter of nvidia/AMD GPU or Intel/AMD CPU. At best I got 20000 ITNS / day with 4500 H/s but mining pools back then had troubles so it was not many days at that income. However the price was below 10 sat so it was not very profitable for the moment but I kept them. Sold 25% when price was at 270 sat to pay for the hardware. Keeping the rest. Who knows price of ITNS in future. Maybe should keep mining ITNS with everything? Hello! Were you in the first days of mining after announcement of intense coin? MMM.. were I was whith my 7 vegas 64?(((

Whats going on with the price right now? Was there some news that I didn't' see? Looks like it is down 25% today. Obviously there is some fluctuations... but usually with reason?
No real news from developers. Only Merry Christmas and Happy New Year) I think this is the best time to buy before some news appears!

Quick question about Intense's max supply (999 mill max, 320 mill circulating); does anyone know whether there is supposed to be a coin burn at some point? Thanks.
Hello! Sorry, but why you think it should by burn somewhen?) Are you children of ICOs time?) THIS IS SPARTA POW!

Hi All, Intencecoin Pool are open officially, with high performance redundant hardware, with many new features. Support online 24/7 with 0.5% fee SSL Link https://itns.west-pool.org/ Thank you for giving us a Portuguese Pool  Good luck for your project your pool will be under my attention so maybe in a near future i will change my hashrate to there. Nice to see new projects around INTS!

So it is still cheaper to buy 2 or 3 rx 550 and get 800 -900 hash for around same as 1 gtx 1060 and I believe it will he less power draw
It's only cheaper if you figured out some kind of magic to run graphics cards by themselves, without attaching them to a computer.  Otherwise cards like rx 550 make no sense at all. In a typical 8-9 slot mining rig (z270 etc) each slot costs ~ $40. A decent RX 570/580 does at least 850 H/s (and close to 1 KH/s if it has Samsung memory chips). So for each "full-size" Polaris card you'd need ~ 2.5x low-end cards like RX 550. Basically to get the same kind of hashrate you either buy two RX 570/580 cards ("spending" 2*40=$80 on slots) or you buy five RX 550 cards (spending 5*40 = $200 on slots). That's why no one builds mining rigs with low-end cards. It might work for very small-time miners that already have some cheap old PC and are only looking to buy a couple of cards, but as soon as you run multiple rigs (or even just more than one rig) those low-end cards are no good. And if you're mining cryptonight with Pascal cards then you're definitely doing it wrong. There are pretty much always some more profitable algos to mine with nvidia. I mined Intense from almost very beginning with my 1070x5 rig and now i m very glad i m done this. I didnt sell, but ROI for now is x3 already

Would've probably made x6 then.

I remember i wanted to do as you say, but amount difference (in $) was something 10-15% and i decide not to switch  When diff of Intense was down, you can mine 15-20 000 itns/day.

Gearbest Yeston/Maxsun minus points (up to 30% for previously paid purchases). But they do not always have a product, they may not ship at all. Without points, it makes no sense to take it I remember i wanted to do as you say, but amount difference (in $) was something 10-15% and i decide not to switch  When diff of Intense was down, you can mine 15-20 000 itns/day. Cool. As I have now for all time

What is the difference between 'Backup wallet' and 'Save wallet keys'? You get both times a *.wallet file.

It is better to do both. And pack into the archive. Just in case. I remember how many nerves it cost me not so long ago to synchronize the wallet without having backup copies ...

Would've probably made x6 then.  this is not so easy on low volume exchange like stocks, some times you have to convert 2/3x and with large margin between buy/sell you lose more than just mining with nvidia...

I exported the key and saved it together with the wallet from %appdata%. I think this should be enough as backup. I was just curious what's the difference between those two.

Easy choice... ETN never mines what is says it will mine... not even close... What you're saying is only true if you're mining ETN on a crappy pool. With nanopool I was always getting even more than WTM and other calculators showed for my hashrate. Mining ITNS myself now, but with the current ETN rally I'm not sure what's more profitable to mine. Nope i tried nanopool as well. No difference from any of the other pools that i tried. The calculation on whatstomine or any of the other mining calculators show about double what i was getting. And i spoke to about 5 guys from work as well to compare the totals they were getting and they all had the same conclusion. I did find one pool that had closer to the expected amount but then it shut down after a couple days.
