Cryptocurrency Mining

I have only recently set up my rig and only mining for a few days, although the information on how to set it up and configure the rig is readily available the "what coin to mine" question seems to be a secret... I understand that giving away information like this could lower the rest of the pools profitability, but somewhere someone is discussing this and I'm interested to find out.

What process do you guys use to see what is profitable to mine or not, I know of whattomine.com, but they list all the popular coins... I did go to coinmarketcap.com and filter out the non-minable coins but then how would you know which has a low difficulty? For me the most profitable coin would be a low difficulty one, that is minable by AMD GPU's and has potential to grow in the future... I presume you should find a new coin and start to mine it before to many people jump on the wagon and the difficulty grows?

If you do not feel like parting with your state secrets on a public forum like this please send me a PM and we can chat :D

I can pm some coins listing on exchanges soon, they not on coinmarketcap or whattomine as busy in ICO phase.

Problem is miners can dump them as soon as they list, and your coins might be worth nothing.

I mined a bit of those to keep, this would be my first time mining a coins that can't sell yet.

Through I am back to ETN and ETC, as ETC is having a airdrop soon and ETN being listed on other exchanges soon.

A PM would really be appreciated thank you very much.

So you saying that the trick is to mine the coins while they are in Initial Coin Offering (ICO) phase and hope when they get listed that they will be adopted by other miners...?

Also have a few ETC waiting for airdrop in March, seen some nice spikes Saturday and Sunday. Looked into ETN before I had a rig as the technology behind it enables mobile mining and CPU mining with low end components... Do you use the Claymore CryptoNight AMD GPU Mine or the XMR-STAK miner or the dedicated windows miner?

Yes mine while difficultly is low and hope the price on exchange is close to what the ICO price is. Profits will be very good if the price is even 70% of ICO price.

I use xmr stak and cast xmr on vega rigs.

Will send you pm.
 
I had an odd error over the weekend on nicehash while dual mining - I had the following error message
Socket was closed remotely (by pool) DCR: Job timeout, disconnect, retry in 20 sec... Socket was closed remotely (by pool) ETH: Job timeout, disconnect, retry in 20 sec...
everything else worked but it just wouldn't dual mine.

Finally traced the error to my ASUS router - had to disable Aiprotection and it started working again. I think the router auto updated and blocked those protocols

Why not educate more than one?
 
What’s the thoughts or opinions on using Simple Miner OS instead of windows? Has a great web based UI.

For now just leave it if it works.

Yeah was thinking that. Just need to try get hash rate up and thought simple miner might be able to do it. Currently mining ETH and only get around 117mh/s with 6 cards whereas brother gets 120+ on 4x1060. But then I also don’t see 2-3 MHs making such a big difference?

No way he can get 120. Gonna need a pic.

Which ones? Vaguely remember something.

He is running claymore mining ETH. I’m almost 99% sure he said that was what he was getting. But I also have my doubts. Is my average of 117 mh/s the average or should I be getting more with 6x 1060’s?

How is your RX550 rigs going?
Could you get any more than 400H/s out of it and it the power still around 30W per card?
Also are you using 2GB cards and which brand?

I am busy making a list to build a RX 550 rig with the following components.

Biostar*TB250-BTC PRO
G.Skill F4-2400C15S-4GVR Ripjaws V 4GB
Intel BX80677G3930 Celeron G393
Western Digital WDS120G1G0A Green 120GB
EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 750W 80 Plus Gold
PCIE RISER CARD - VER006 x 12
MSI Radeon RX 550 AERO ITX 2G OC x 12

Thanks

Rig is running 100%, expect for restart now and then. Through I just added the miner to launch on startup, so not really issue anymore.

400hs was about max, I had friend which did 440hs by pushing the core clock even more.

Yep power still 30watts a card.

I used gigabyte 2gb OC models.
