Hey folks!

Sorry for beeing a newbie, but I just recently started my Gridcoin adventure with BOINC.

I have been trying to read a lot about how to choose the right project for my setup in order to get maximum profit, but there are so many articles and lists that I'm getting dizzy, hehe.

Can someone please point me in the direction of an updated list of recommandations, or perhaps just a few friendly advices?

I basically have some mining rigs available equipped with AMD RX 480 and RX 580 GPU, total of 13 GPUs
The CPUs on these rigs are kinda low specced, a mix of pentium and i3/i5

I also have a laptop with i7 CPU and Nvidia M2002 GPU that I might set up to crunch some tasks when it's idle.

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks in advance


.Shaugen.

Now if we could just get this "erkan" person to quite spamming this topic with their worthless drivel.

 Yes, I've put them on ignore, but it's STILL irritating seeing 90% or so of recent posts as "this user is currently ignored".
