Cryptocurrency Mining

I think command line is better for this kind of thing to be honest, aside from the fact that I have read good things about Geth & Claymore working together.

What pool you going with? I'm just wondering about claymore, the 1% fee bugs me for some reason

All miners mine for a certain portion of time for the developer. You just don't see it.
Remember the guy wrote the software.

If you use NiceHash, Claymore actually mines for 72 seconds out of every hour for the developer.

I actually declined the 3rd part application. Might be the reason I'm having issues?
 
Is ethereum not switching to proof of stake before year end witch would end all mining for it? I pre-ordered two TB250-BTC boards to slowly build up a couple of rigs, 1070's sound great but the 570 and 580's are so much cheaper, what's the next best crypto to mine after ethereum?

From what I understans you can still mine eth if you own eth, or something in that line.
Zcash is the best after eth. My 1070s does zcash sometimes.
 
Now that everyone is talking about Nice Hash, three things, most miners are detected as viruses’ due to it being packaged with many malwares nowadays. Just add the directory where you keep your miners to your AV or anti-whatever exclusions list. When you do download a miner, make sure it is the legitimate source.

Those having issues with Nice Hash downloading the miners, scroll down here, https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner/releases, and download the bin.zip and bin_3rdparty.zip which can be manually extracted to the directory.

Lastly, the latest Nice Hash version does not have the updated claymore dual miner, the 3rd party miner pack comes with v9.2. Those having issues, or hangs, whilst utilising the DaggerHasimoto (Ethash) algorithm to mine Ethereum (converted to BTC with Nice Hash), you may download v9.3 here -> https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B69wv2iqszefdFZUV2toUG5HdlU and replace claymore_dual inside your bin_3rdparty directory, nothing else has to be changed.

Instead of purchasing the mining equipment outright, does anyone have experience with buying hashing power on NiceHash & paying commission?

I've done it, but not on NiceHash, at HashFlare. I did some calulations and realised that I might as well buy the coin directly as the ROI is pretty much the same time.

This simply never works out. I have done the sums. Renting hashing power is a scam. Return on investments of over 12 months, IF difficulty remains the same, which it WONT. Don't do it.

Why are worrying about PoS now? What you need to do is [-]mine[/-], fsck that, acquire as much ether as possible because its going to much more difficult to mine when the switch happens. So mine any damn coin as long as you can get some BTC so you can get you some ether. Or if you're too impatient, buy some BTC on Luno, and exchange it for ether! on another exchange

Check this out, this is why Nicehash has been mining Zcash almost exclusively (easiest to mine on top) for last few days:

Now if your PC is not mining anything in that list, what you should do is donate it to a needy forumite, then go to a bar and drown your sorrows

sorry but I am not too clued up with NiceHash...


Where do you specify to mine Zcash or Zclassic?

I only have my 980ti mining Zcash on nicehash, then a couple of litecoin miners doing scrypt, and 1 X11 Baikal, I need to take the profits and build a pair of GPU rigs to expand, I'm guessing the 1070's are the better option for the long term?

For now.

I want to get my hands on the Vega card from AMD to test and then of course September the 20xx series
