Hello fellow miners, I just wanted to ask you what is your hashrate and which GPU do you have. I have one AMD Radeon R9 280X and my hashrate is 408 Kh/s.
As I said, I'm new to mining so can someone tell me if this is ok for my GPU or do I need to change settings in the start.bat file? I received only 21 GPK in about 2 hours of mining and I expected more, but maybe that's simply how much my card can mine, not more.
Hello Comrade
Sadly a GPU is not the best way to mine the Gopnik as it is scrypt alogorithm.
21 mined is not so bad, but specialised mining hardware exist that can get hundreds of Scrypt based coin like Gopnik in minutes.
Your GPU is not really suited to the squatting for scrypt. In fact, any GPU is not suited, even if you had many of them or very expensive 1080ti card or new Vega.
On one hand, I share your love for the Gopnik coin, however on the other hand I think you should look next for a coin that is good to mine with GPU like a coin based on Cryptonight algorithm.
My advice is to mine something suited to the GPU. Then sell that coin that you mine at an exchange.
Then you have a little bitcoin, so send that to a short term rental site like Miningrigrentals or Nicehash.
Then rent some time on an Scypt ASIC miner on that site with the bitcoin you made to mine some Gopnik.
To give final example.
You get 480 h/s with your GPU.
A cheap Asic can get MILLIONS of H/S per second.
So, if you run rented ASIC miner for a few hours you will get tens of thousands of Gopnik coin.
Gopnik is great coin with such squat power, but mining on any GPU is not good value for you. Is like squatting with no legs. You will never get big calve muscles no matter what you do.
I wish you well on your bitcoin journey Comrade!
