In terms of ETH mining, for those of you who use Nanopool... They have some extensive reporting for your wallet address, but I am uncertain which indicator on their graph is the "real world" one??

I consistently hit 30 Mh/sec on a 1070, yet when I check the stats they are looking really weird... :confused:

Remember every hour of mining you mine 72 seconds to the dev, so it will go up and down.

I don't trust the hash rates on the Nanopool page, much less the reported rates on the app, it's just too inconsistent. I generally just look at the value of work done.

The stats are 100% correct. You are both forgetting the LUCK factor in finding shares. In the last 5 minutes you could find 100 shares making your effective hashrate a billion/s, and the next 5 minutes you find nothing and your hashrate goes to poop. Refresh the page at the wrong (or right :p) time and of course you'll find "strange" current hashrates

One of the reasons I'm considering other pools.

The SIA mining pool I was using removes the luck factor entirely. I like that. This luck factor sucks ass, and I'm on a mission to find a ETHEREUM pool to the equivalent of the sia mining pool

As an absolute noob who's intrigued about this whole ecosystem, what can I expect to mine per day on a single GTX1080? Not the Ti version...

I'm planning on buying one for my media server (which used to be a gaming PC) that's already running 24/7, but I sold the GPU at the beginning of this year due to me not gaming anymore.

Ladies and gentlemen, the voice of reason *applause*

Thanks for the explanation. I figured that only worked on way, i.e. the lower reported hash rates.

I've been keeping an eye on the performance I've been getting vs. these calculation, especially against the DaggerHash algorithm, and it's pretty accurate.

According to this, you're looking at around 27 MH/s.

Having a look at the 1070 vs 1080 I can see why the 1070 is just about sold out everywhere. It produces almost as much Bitcoin profit as the 1080, but with a a reasonably lower price-tag. Only 1070's I can seem to find are closer to R10k, which makes it more expensive than a 1080.

According to Nicehash the ROI for the 1070 is also 6 days less than the 1080. Still, my inner gamer is telling me to go 1080 for when the mining craze blows over... If I can last roughly 4-5 months to pay off the 1080, I already gained something from this experiment.

What happens when we get a new epoc on ETH, in two days or so?

Mining difficulty going up?
