What can I mine with 8 pieces of GTX1060 3GB graphic card right now? Or I should just sell them and move on? Also is there still a chance to mine Ethereum Classic using 3GB of VRAM memory? Keep and find a new coin to mine or sell and keep my money.

I would just sell the cards. The only decent coin you can mine is ETC for 1 more month on Linux. You'll only get $0.40/day of revenue.

Assuming you get $125 in profit for each card on feeBay, you can buy two RTX 3060L's then mine ETH+CFX; or two Radeon RX 5700's or RX 6700 XT's.

I would have sold these video cards a long time ago. Maybe I wouldn't sell them if I had very cheap or green electricity. You can try to advertise these video cards on secondary markets and mine cryptocurrencies.

Dual mine vertcoin+zilliqa with the Team Black Miner and spminer is the best option for these cards.

From the Ethash algorithms you can mine Ubiq which will make you like 1.85 USD gross without electricity into consideration daily if the calculators around are correct and I just took an approximate of those cards hash rate near 170 Mhsh for the 8 of them.Also the dag size of Ubiq is less than 2 GB so you can mine this coin for a long time.If you have cheap electricity then continue to mine or sell the cards depending on the situation.

GTX1060 takes up to 60-70watts it makes no sense to keep them around anymore, you should sell them for PC gamers online or locally, these graphic cards are good for 1080p display gaming if paired with a multi-core CPU like i7 4*** or ryzen 5 CPU.

If there is $1.6 a day left after paying the electricity bill, that's less than $600 a year. this is a very small profit for such a mining farm.
8 video cards cost $1500 and payback is 2.5 years today. I don’t even know what will happen after the end of ethereum mining.Only sale.

600$ annually from mining vs 600$ annually from staking which one do you think will be better? You will have more thousands of dollars staked to get 600$ back per year,  anyway it's on OP, I won't keep such GPUs with me either I am better off selling them for money and use that money to buy some coins.

I greatly prefer mining over staking because of the upfront tax deductions I can get with mining. I pay 0% of taxes as long as I roll profit into new equipment. This isn't possible with buying coins.

To get 600 dollars a year from staking, then you need to buy more coins, I think for 5-7 thousand dollars, if we are talking about Ethereum. If staking gives 10-15% profit per year, then mining can give 15-30% profit per year. Mining is better for me.

I personally would still keep the cards I see on what to mine that you can mine Swap (XWP) with a profit of about $ 0.37 per card so about $ 3 a day which in my opinion is not bad these days

I think you should definitely sell as the future is proof of stake and is less costly and less complicated. Personally, I would never invest in mining equipment as that would require core constant investment apart from electricity and everything else.

If you live in El Salvador, then you are a rich person with such a mining farm, you live in Europe, you have big problems. If you eat only pasta, then in my country this profit will be enough for food.

Find a good altcoin that you believe will be worth more in future if you hold, there are many altcoins that you can mine with those cards like BTCZ, Zano and Swap, go to minerstat calculator or whattomine website you will see some Pow altcoins you can still mine using those cards.

Sell it, ETC's DAG going to pass the 3GB mark in less than 2 months. Your daily profit isn't as great as other cards since 1060 3GB is very low on the efficient list for ETC. Totally not worth squeezing some last juice out of it before the end of the road. Better selling it now before other miners, also have 1060 3GB starting to dump the card, making the clearance price going even lower. Steam user's hardware survey chart list 1060 3GB/6GB always at the most popular as it's still a good card for 1080p gaming today. Hope you can make the right choice.

This GPU is still good for Fortnite and GTA V using a 1080p display you will be able to sell them for a cheap price on the market to small gamers out there, not everyone can afford a higher end gaming PC or those latest consoles, even if you mine other altcoins like Flux and ETC the performance of these graphic cards are not good enough.

It's better to sell those graphic cards and buy better graphics cards like 3060, gtx1660 super, rx6800 and other, also those 1060 GPUs are outdated and they take more electricity power than latest graphic cards.

If you have your ROI back and have free electricity, I would continue to mine, but you aren't half way there, and you have to pay your electricity out of mining, then I would recommend to sell them before it will be cheaper than now. Ethereum is going to POS so you better hurry to disposed them. I have 6gb cards but still managed to mine but I am thinking of selling them also because of eth migration. The miners will be scattered in different minable coins if that happens and we won't have any chances of competing to those big farms.
