Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

I see you commented including the following. Those #s can't be correct for Monero. KH? "My 6x AMD R9 280x’s produce about 500 KH/sec each for a total of 3000KH/sec" |

Is there any Nvidia GTX 1060, 1070 , 1080 miner?

Have a look at minergate.com, as far as I know, they support the Nvidia cards. |

I hope someone can help:
Which would be the best for mining XMR:
1. Upgrading to an i7 that support 8 threads
2. Purchase a GTX1060 GPU
Almost in the same price range.
Any tips would be much appreciated!

Depends on some factors: how much is your electricity? How cool is your climate? How much noise can you tolerate? A CPU will tend to be more efficient. That said, check the L2 cache of the i7. Each mining thread needs 2 MB cache. So, even if you have 8 threads, if you only have 6 MB cache, your going to mine with 3 threads, maybe 4. That said, I know the new skylakes can do 60 hashes / second on 1 thread. Pentium(R) CPU G4400 @ 3.30GHz I don't know what the hashrate on the 1060 is, but in general NVIDIA's use less power, but don't have a high hashrate. The nvidia mining software was developed on the 750 ti, and the 750 ti is where you see the best hashrate per dollar cost of GPU. For instance, the 750 ti gets 250 hashes / second, whereas a card 4X the cost (the 1080i) only gets twice as much hash (maybe 500 hashes per second). I've never heard of an nvidia card going over 500 hashes per second. Meanwhile, the AMD 290x (or 390x) can pump out 780 hashes / second. However, that thing gobbles around 250 watts. |

I remember digging into this at one point and the conclusion I came to was that its whatever the largest cache on-chip is. AFAIK, these caches are essentially just memory on the CPU itself to effect the highest speed, and the different cache levels relate to speed and priority... so its not like cryptonite is seeking out the L3 cache specifically to store the scratchpad to perform the PoW, its just going "hey you sloppy sons ah bitches I need to dump some shit in memory." Why cryptonite is a drunken sailor I have no idea. So the CPU dumps this to whatever memory it can. I assume it first goes to L1 cache and L1 cache is like "Please go elsewhere. L1 is reserved for the finest of processes" as it turns its nose up on the cryptonite PoW, cause aint no way L1 has 2 MB. Then it gets to L2 and its like "you gots some room for my pad?" and L2 goes "sure", because its a processor with a large L2. Yada yada yada, down the chain. In the case that none of caches had the 2 MB space, cryptonite can still work, its just incredibly slow because the stuff has to go all the way from the CPU to the (gasp) memory, which is like Bourbon street for processes. And maybe you'll make it down to that crazy ass old tavern at the end of the strip. |

Think I will look into an i& with as much L2 cache as I can find. |

hi
Dual e5-2670 on minergate shows ~450H/s which is Ok, but on wolfs miner same cpu from 1.5 to 2 KH/s, is it even possible to have so much difference?

I can't provide advice as to the large difference in hash rates, but I can say that my worst results have been with Minergate. I've always performed noticeably better with wolf's. |

I am user of minergate since a long time even mine few of coins with minergate. But I realize that minergate supports for cryptonote algorithm based cryptocurrencies.
SO can anyone give me info about external mining hardware work with minergate ?

Don't use minergate. Use literally any other pool listed here: https://monerohash.com/#network |

Don't use minergate. Why? |

Don't use minergate. Why? It gives you low hash rate for your equipment, if not the lowest. |
