I know, I know, a 1060 3GB isn't going to produce much in mining. That's not the question here. I want to know if there's some reason it won't work on Nicehash anymore. I have one I'm not using, and thought I'd put it on Nicehash again just to make a few Satoshis, but it constantly fails the benchmark tests, so I can't mine with it. Drivers aren't an issue, these 1060s I have used to work fine, but a year or so later and I can't get it mining.
And if a 1060 3GB is now unusable on Nicehash, what sort of GPU do I need? A 3060? And how much RAM is the minimum these days?

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Looking at NiceHash profitability calculator for NVidia GTX 1060 3GB it is still possible to mine some coins... |

1060 3GB listed here - only works on NHM and NHOS, not the Quick miner...pretty sure most algos need 4GB though...so most benchmarks will fail, make sure you manuayly "tick" all benchmarks https://www.nicehash.com/mining-hardware |

Nice Hash dumbs down miners because after a few years of use they are no longer able to use other mining software  |

You should make sure you've done the calculations as to whether it's profitable or not before you dive in. You might find it's a better idea to just buy Bitcoin. However, I'm still amazed that I'm able to run a few 1080ti's profitably. Partially thanks to solar energy and partially thanks to living somewhere with dirt cheap electricity. If you find yourself in a similar position and need the heat this time of year it could be worth it to run, but make sure you know what bet you're making and that you have a path to making a profit. Unless you're cold, then run that bad boy.

If a newbie is limited, or wants to use his work computer for mining because he was able to install NiceHash software on his PC, then he will earn a very small amount of money and will have to wait a long time to reach the payout limit. Nowadays you need to have more knowledge and capabilities in mining if you want to earn money rather than passive income of a few cents a day from one old video card. |
