I guess that translates to how do you find the good coins.... or timing what you're mining? I have 7 cent power. Not the best, not the worst.
I've spent IDK how many literal days, probably weeks, in 2019 on this project.... and lots of money. I just saw a video from VoskCoin on YouTube a few days ago. It was exciting and depressing (and filmed in August). He was grossing $60/day and making $30 a day with a handful of machines. I can't remember but the numbers are close enough. Maybe the only one doing well was his GRIN machine.
I have 18 L3+, 13 S9i, 12 BK-B, 12 U6, 6 S11 (blake2b), 1 BK-N240.
I can only run about 130 amps worth at any time.
Should I go to GPU? CPU?
Should I be mining LTC because of low difficulty? I've been wanting to mine LBC for months and months and haven't. It wasn't profitable at the time. Ironically it is the reason I'm positive cashflow at the moment. Barely... as usual. My daily bill is probably around $40 with maybe $43 in earnings.
Is the better plan to mine LTC and wait? It would be a loss for now.... but also fairly easy to mine coins. Mine @ loss for the accumulation and wait for pump? ... Rinse and repeat?
Should I maintain blockchains for all coins of a given algorithm and auto-switch my miners under condition x, y, or z? And how would one maintain the chains? Seems like I can only get about 3 going simultaneously.
My goal was to mine and finally have enough to pay for electricity from the earnings. StrongU failed to deliver. That combined with using a particular website that totes a somewhat comprehensive list of ASIC profitability.... is completely wrong vs calculators.... Yup, still paying out of my paycheck to pay the bill.
Any general advice? If VoskCoin can do that with 12 cent power... I'm missing something.
Thanks.
