lol @ talking about environmentalism in the crypto mining thread bitcoin singlehandedly nuked any hope of ever slowing down climate change, hold onto your butts cause we're heading into the cryptocurrency future and it's going to be hot as fuuuuck

My Threadripper is making more butts than my GTX 1080 right now. Maybe I should mine some Monero directly just for the heck of it.

did you finally get all the cores recognized or is it still just seeing half? Im really enjoying all this mining stuff not because im speculating on it or im a true believer but because it allows me to buy slightly nicer hardware than I actually need. I built a work computer instead of picking up a $400 dell prebuilt i5 and slapping a weak pci-e powered GPU in it. I got a ryzen 1600 and a rx580 instead and its already most of the way towards paying off the price difference with the bonus of having another capable gaming rig afterwards. That is, as long as the PSU doesnt go up in smoke and take everything with it. I also got to experience the "pleasure" that is AMD drivers and everything being in some sort of beta. Wont be making that mistake again! Fauxtool fucked around with this message at 05:53 on Dec 29, 2017 |

Fauxtool posted:did you finally get all the cores recognized or is it still just seeing half? Yeah I switched to xmrig for Monero mining  I can get pretty close with xmr-stak and ccminer by playing with CPU affinities and threads but they still perform about 200-300 h/s slower than xmrig.

Is Monero CPU only? I’d like to try it Fauxtool posted:did you finally get all the cores recognized or is it still just seeing half? Yeah but imagine if you spent a lot of money to build a farm of those machines, just how much more would you earn?! 🤯

Monero is GPU, just like everything else that can't be affordably ASIC-mined

Monero is CPU and GPU. Ryzen 1700 @ 3.9 Ghz is almost as fast as mining on a GTX 1080, and a threadripper 1950x is almost 2x as fast as the GTX 1080.

Im not sure its as scammy as it is... hobby level programming I guess is one way to put it. I like a lot about it but it definitely stopped a lot, coin switching was pretty poor and slow, benchmarking was just weird, and didnt utilize all the resources when it was going (which is a benefit for others though). But they pay you !!

I've been out of touch for a long while, so I want to know has NiceHash finally got its poo poo together and brought back its servers? I've been mining monero on MinerGate for the last few weeks and it's going steady.

I like a lot about it but it definitely stopped a lot, coin switching was pretty poor and slow, benchmarking was just weird, and didnt utilize all the resources when it was going (which is a benefit for others though). Yeah, I was going to say, it is definitely hobby-level programming and some of it can simply be less-optimal switching, poor auto-selection of intensity presets, that kind of thing. The other thing is that Nicehash is not really mining on a pool in the normal sense, it is paying out money that other people pay to use the network, not block rewards generated by the mining. Auction formats tend to result in overpayment - the person who overvalues the item the most gets it. Further, they could be using the hashrate to mine altcoins that have higher returns but are more of a pain to handle directly. So, there's a variety of reasons that Nicehash could generate higher payouts than normal pool mining even if Nicehash weren't a hobbyist-level piece of crap. (plus, they want people to use Nicehash so they can run away with the money again)

So far I have found the Pascal series (10xx) of cards is pretty great at mining Equihash, Lyra2REv2 and NeoScrypt algorithms (z coins, hush, bitcoin gold etc...). ROI on these cards is usually around 3-5 months. Not bad considering the lower power consumption, less AMD driver + bios fuckery and better overall gaming ability / resale. CPU mining is also doing good on Cryptonight algorithms (especially Electroneum). Pulling in about $2.50 USD per day on an 2600K, a 3930K and an OC'd 5960X combined. Note that I don't really care a lot about power consumption as all electrical cost offsets my gas bills for heating, and I pay something like 6 cents per kWh at all times. I'll likely disable all the CPU mining in the summer when using AC as it's unlikely CPU will be profitable at that point. Anyways out of the mining platforms - So far I've tried: Nicehash - seems to be a giant ponzi scheme as most of you have discussed, realistically, none of us outside of a 10K+ mining operation will ever see a payout again. Never saw anything out of those guys for the month or so I mined with them. I really like the idea behind this application, but the execution and those behind it are dubious at best. Winminer - Really really low rates per day, and on top of that Winminer seems to skim a good 20-25% on top... and on top of that, you get hit with the 3% Winminer withdrawal fees, and something like 5% PayPal fees... but they actually pay out unlike Nicehash. I'd recommend this at the moment if you want a simple 1 click easy to user miner with a fairly direct link to your bank account. Awesome Miner + MPH - This seems to be the right thing to do at the moment if you have a good amount of hardware. Setup is slightly more complex and some thought is required as to how you will cash out those coins you are mining. Extra effort required to setup the whole payout chain from MPH / Awesome Miner to whatever wallet you are using to an exchange to your PayPal / bank account.

Benchmark or google your hardware's hashrate for the algorithms you want to run  e: I tried to mine some SUMOs and I watched the network hashrate double in the span of 2 hours so uhhhh Risky Bisquick fucked around with this message at 07:50 on Dec 30, 2017 |

Just install NiceHash miner and let it run for about 14 months which is when you'll get the minimum payout. It's easy as pie!

Risky Bisquick posted:Benchmark or google your hardware's hashrate for the algorithms you want to run A lot of the coins that spike to the top of whattomine's current-profit/current-difficulty chart are experiencing big swings in either difficulty or value, even in general but particularly for coins with very small networks and very small market caps. It's generally better to mine a coin with a much larger cap and a relatively flat difficulty even if it's like 10% less profit up front, just because you have more of a guarantee that it's not going to drop 30% in value by the time your pool is cashing out at the exchange. This is why pools tend to curate their algo-switch lists. Paul MaudDib fucked around with this message at 08:22 on Dec 30, 2017 |

Lyra2rev2 algo comparison: 980 Ti: GPU #0: 1215 MHz 148.70 kH/W 195W 46C FAN 68% 1070: GPU #0: 1942 MHz 219.10 kH/W 169W 60C FAN 69% Both have their power limit tuned down to 80%. Seems like the 1070 should be running lower wattage but I don't know how accurate the reporting is in ccminer.

I've been mining ETC. Is there a compelling reason for me to mine ETH instead? The price of each seems to fluctuate roughly in parity with one another. The profitability is about the same. What am I missing?

That's the only difference. It's up to you whether that matters

What a simplistic view! Don’t you understand this is an ethical choice, because CODE IS LAW, thus if you can steal it, you can keep it because the code was not up to par. Unless you’re the founder of Ethereum and directly affected, in which case those evil transactions will get reversed. But still, CODE IS LAW
