Any alternatives to ethminer for mining eth ? Can't get ethminer working on a 2GB card despite suggestions and settings found on the interwebs.

I don't think you can mine eth on 2gb cards anymore. DAG files are to big for them.

Thanks, any suggestions for mining alt. currencies (NVIDIA GTX 1050) ? Currently mining Bitcoin, seems only just profitable but want to play around.

Use NiceHash, its an application that runs on Windows. It mines a battery of currencies and auto switches to the highest current payout, depending on your hardware. It also auto converts to bitcoin and pays into your bitcoin wallet.

Thanks Jaco, I was actually using it for Bitcoin mining, and assumed it is for only Bitcoin despite the list of available algorithms you can select in settings. I'll go read up on how to select a specific currency and server not in the default list.
 
This makes me sad, I had coins and sold them to buy a miner, now the price has spiked and I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy back in with my leftovers due to the whole bitfenix issue, will it come crashing down? or will it just keep going? Obviously a crash would be great to gain more coins.
