It will work, just set them to 60% tdp usage, then only use around 100watts or so.

Guys, I've stopped mining on NiceHash. I've decided to mine ETH directly to a pool. The idea is to stash the ETH.
I'm mining ethermine.org, should I continue there, or does anyone have a better suggestion to mint coins from? Ta.

To benchmark my mining capability, I'm using nicehash. I might as well input my wallet address- I've signed up with Luno, who show a wallet and with AltCoin who don't appear to have an account for me.
Is the first wallet you see in Luno the one I specify in Nicehash? Or do I need to wait for my account to be verified?

I do both, but mine ethereum primarily.

Do you mine ETH from ethermine.org? Or are there better places for whatever reason, in you opinion?
Currently I use the k@k gui for miner pool I'm waiting for my ethOS SSD want to give that a proper go with the 1070 rigs.
Sorry ethermine.org yes. I will be using ethOS soon if it is viable

Cool, thanks. Claymore no good for 1070s?
Anyone tried SMOS? https://simplemining.net/
It's a nice one, but it won't be free anymore.
I realise ethOS isn't free either, but it's a once off price and a lot more control and scalability.

Browsing through https://coinmarketcap.com/ it's interesting how you could benefit from the more volatile currencies, even position 50+ in what appears to be benefit from btc and eth, in a more profitable manner than those.

Am I correct in saying that in general AMD cards are going to be better than Nvidia (eg when not targetting a specific coin)? And if so, is the 8GB version of the RX580 worth the added cost over the 4GB version?

It is best to look at the statistics collected by Nice Hash, see the calculator.
https://www.nicehash.com/?p=calc
AMD is cheaper so ROI is quicker, nvidia is much more powerful so will remain profitable longer (That is the hope)

ethOS is nice, but people need to understand how well their GPUs are supported. AMD cards are better optimised on Windows where undervolting is made easy by utilising AMD Radeon Settings.
An example:

ethOS works nicely with an NVidia setup, like you have, and substitute dev mining by retailing the OS. SMOS is okay... never used it though, but it is thoroughly discussed on bitcointalk.

And of course I'm talking to the wrong crowd for this question, but how long do we reckon this is going to hold? My inner optimist says it will probably dip down again but then we can simply stockpile whatever coin we think will go back up and a year from now sip margaritas in Hawaii?

Mining dumbasses here, investment gurus on the other threads.
My guess is that the private/business ethereum blockchains being invested in by many large companies has triggered a level of hype and is linked to the current surge. What is going to happen next and why is as mysterious to me as anybody.

My belief, as many are, is that crypto will be the future. But, I also believe that at some stage governments will start to poke their noses and either try disrupt the idea or try regulate it - there will be a little nervous panic that will influence the value. In either instance they will ultimately fail. The intrinsic nature of crypto currency means it is robust against manipulation, mismanagement and control. The only manipulation perhaps is pump-and-dump strategies.
The value of crypto is fundamentally correlated to demand. The demand is fundamentally correlated to adaption. From what I see, that adaption is taking more traction rather than receding. Example, the alliance partnership announcement ito ETH, that alone has created much excitement and demand.
In terms of us, miners. The catch 22 situation. The more the crypto value increases, the pilgrimage to mining increases. The effect is the difficulty over time increases exponentially and mining becomes less profitable much quicker.
How long will "this" last? How long is a piece of string? It's as long as your imagination, sentiment differs person to person. Traditional fundamentals in financial remain applicable - if you in it for the long haul, diversify.
