As per the title, I'm wondering if any miners in this forum can tell me what/how they mine?

I see some folks using Nicehash and then reselling their MH/s to others, and then I see folk who mine Ether and Decred for example using Claymore.

Which is your preference/pays more in your opinion?

Cheers!
 
Mining direct normally pays more on AMD.

Nvidia has more than 1 profitable coin to mine, it would be better on nicehash with nvidia.

And if you had a mix between Nvidea and AMD? Like 3+3?
 
Nicehash basically just tracks current market conditions, and charges you a comparatively large fee for doing so. I prefer mining the coins direct and then choosing when to sell
 
i like nh when returns are 'nice' but get get irritated when they don't track nice pumps with raised earnings. and then i get irritated because im not 'mining'. i alternate with some random coin mining to appease the miner in me.
 
Also have a look at miningpoolhub. They have quite a few different algorithm stratums set up with auto swapping. They also have an auto exchange feature (similar to nicehash) although you can choose which currency to exchange into.

Just watch fees. I think nh is 4%. So it's automatic but comes at a premium.
 
Fees are stated as 0.9% with a mandatory 0.1% donation fee. Although whether all the currencies use the 0.9%, I'm unsure
 
Suppose the benefit is if Nicehash picks up a profitable coin while you are mining, it will switch and mine it for you, and you can gain from this . Even if it is 5 minutes of mine time.

as far as i know you never mine a coin directly with nh, only for others... am i incorrect in this?
