Nicehash internal -> coinbase -> gyft is working for me just fine. A good trickle of 15 dollar amazon cards a week is exactly what I'm looking for in my no effort minor.

I bought a geforce 1080 recently and installed it only to realized I want a 1080 TI to play the Witcher 3 at 4K. Can I mine with my old 1080 and pay for itself somehow after 3-6 months? I hate dealing with returns. Also, can I do the same thing with my 1080 TI to pay for itself, since I bought it just for the Witcher 3 and it will probably collect dust after I'm done?

Just buy the ti and resell the 1080, you may eat a small loss but if you are going to mine with the 1080ti who cares.

You sure can if you have 2 slots Pop the new ti in the main slot, move your 1080 to a secondary slot, start up your miner** and disable your main card and let the 2nd one go to work while you go laying virtual ladies in fantasy Eastern Europe ** here you’d normally start up nicehash but being as they were hacked mysteriously and also raised the amount it costs to cash out and started charging for deposits, I don’t like recommending them anymore. If you don’t want to do any research at all and mess with direct mining and so on, Nicehash is still the easiest to set up, just a couple buttons and press Go. Edit: alternatively maybe you can just resell the 1080, possibly for more than you bought it for, seeing as everyone is crazy for crypto right now

Also, can I do the same thing with my 1080 TI to pay for itself, since I bought it just for the Witcher 3 and it will probably collect dust after I'm done? Right now a GTX 1080 optimised for max hashes per watt (slightly overclocked, limited to 60-65% TDP) will make you roughly $3.5 to $4 per day with WinMiner if you run it 24/7 (you won't, if you actually want to game on the computer sometimes). The GPU itself uses around 120-125W at those settings, and if the rest of your system is idling it'll use another 50-60W. Call that 180W, so that's 4.32 kWh per day. If your power costs $0.15 per kWh (no idea if it does, but that's what mine costs roughly speaking), you're paying $0.65 per day for power. Then WinMiner's and PayPal's respective transaction fees shave off around 5% of your actual payout. Then you probably need to pay capital gains tax on your earnings and I have no idea how that works where you live. You're looking more than half a year to pay it off if current earnings stay the same (and the bubble may pop at any moment). MiningPoolHub will make maybe a dollar more per day but is a bit more effort to set up and may be far harder to cash out from depending on where you live, because you'll have to actually transfer your cryptocurrency of choice to an exchange, sell it and then transfer it to your bank account without getting scammed by anyone in the process. tl;dr: just return it or sell it on ebay or whatever TheFluff fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Jan 8, 2018 |

Im visiting my parents and had to explain what bitcoin mining was to my mom and she very pointedly asked "why don't you have more computer motherboards then (gpus)" then i tried to explain how that was a risk and she bought me a corsair 1080ti hydro on the spot and said "pay me 300 a month until its paid off and then its yours to keep" I just got hustled by my mom who doesn't know the difference between a gpu and motherboard

WinMiner profits have been much higher in the past 5 days, around $25/day when it was 18-20 before. Have coins all gone up that much in general? Everything said and done and all fees taken, I think WinMiner to Amazon might be as good as NiceHash>CoinBase>Gyft>Amazon. Especially since it is less steps to cash out and somehow I can still game watch YouTube while running WinMiner which was impossible with NiceHash. Edit: Plus, with multiple PCs, WinMiner lets you monitor them all from one webpage and even reboot them from the same GUI (this requires running WinMiner as Admin, so don't do that on your main PC, but I guess it's safe for dedicated rigs).

Yeah, things have been crazy on MPH, too. If you really want to use Nicehash for some reason, and don't want it to render your computer entirely inoperable while running, use the Legacy 1.8.x versions and use the --intensity=x flags for each of the miners (and disable EWBF because that one ignores the flag).

I'm making 12 no wait 8 no wait 10 no wait AGGGHHH dollars per day. but the holidays were a time for everyone to ask me about bitcoins and I said they're just a way to lose money slowly. I haven't had a single card I've bought pay for itself, but I'm just using them because I already have them. Anyone asking about them almost certainly doesn't already have the hardware laying around. 120 dollars for free is great, 120 dollars against putting in 700 dollars in is real bad. So far the guidance I can think of for people wanting to use their hardware now seems to be look at Whattomine and subtract about 30% for the mystery of Winminer skimming, the trade off being that you get Paypal money and don't have to deal with any exchanges or gift services. Power usage seems a lot more "polite" than Nicehash or mining directly so the only way to get good power costs seems to be buying a meter, or assume TDPs are worst case and not normal use, that'll get you at least within the range of your power use. I have 13 dollars after 1.5 days mining with a 1080 and a 980, payout at 20 dollars.

Someone probably put in an order for a certain amount of hashing power at 20% higher than the market rate for some reason. Probably laundering.

What's the common technique now for a single 1070? The pool I was using for Vertcoin One-Click Miner looks to be down. I could switch to another but maybe there's a better method. My friend said to do MiningPoolHub and do the Equihash coins.

I havent cashed out yet but the auto balance thing seems to work fine(it automatically trades whatever crypto you're mining into the type you want to get paid with. Amount earned seems about right with my 980ti. I was waiting til I got $100 in before I cashed out. should be another week or so before I'm there.

So I've never cared to get into cryptocurrency but as the "You know computers, right?" guy at my work I figure I better do something resembling due diligence. My boss has bought a mining rig (no idea what kind, if that matters) and plans to plug it into our company network so he can run it without disturbing his baby at home. Power/power cost isn't an issue - we sub-lease a space from a company that runs an automated recycling machine that can be reasonably measured in thousands of cubic meters in the same building so the increase in draw from a single rig is nothing. However 4 proprietary/custom terminals we bought through the public company that oversees our industry are plugged into this same network. Those 4 terminals run custom Point of Sale software the public company developed for our industry which contains a lot of our company's raw data. That POS software is also connected at all times to the database at the public company. I'm sure there's encryption and poo poo throughout our network, the terminals, the public company's database but despite assurances that he did his research I still feel like I better start asking around. Is it a good/bad/doesn't matter idea to have a mining rig connected to the same network as that kind of setup?

So I haven’t mined on my 1080ti since last summer. Before it was nice hash -> external coin base wallet and then sell. Now is the correct thing nicehash -> internal wallet -> coinbase wallet and then sell. Do this sound right? I heard there were issues selling once it got to coinbase.

It's not the world's best idea, but on the other hand nobody here has been cryptolockered yet or anything like that. And you should have backups of anything that's business critical, of course. My recommendation would be to look at your router and figure out how to get it to put the mining rig on a separate VLAN - sometimes named a "guest network" or something like that. Then it can't see anything else on your network.

To mine, he is probably running an admin-level executable like NiceHash on his rig. There is no way to know for sure what information these programs are sending or how updates might affect them, and they are programmed by convicted criminals. At a minimum, mine on a dedicated PC and implement network isolation at the router level so it can't communicate with anything else on the LAN. He's your boss, but if he's not the CEO he probably doesn't have a right. For example he could be raising the company's electric bill or at least causing more wear and tear on the air conditioning system to counter his increase in heating. Probably not a big deal but if anyone at work isn't cool with that, a lawyer could gently caress his poo poo up good.

I'm selling an RX580 and forgot to restrict it to US shipping now the top bidder is someone in Russia whose account name is just a long number and has zero feedback  This same RX580 was sold before and the last person returned it after two months without opening the box, if it's returned again I'll probably just give up and use it for mining.

B-Mac posted:So I haven’t mined on my 1080ti since last summer. Yes. I've never had issues selling from coinbase, though. I convert directly from their bitcoin/eth/ltc wallet to my bank account and it shows up within a day. The only lovely stories I've seen about coinbase were from people transferring tens of thousands of dollars at once. If you're outside the US then you probably have to jump through different hoops, i guess. I know some countries can't cash out from coinbase.

Do not connect the miner to your business network  However if your boss owns the business, advise them to get a LTE modem and like a 10-20 gig monthly plan for the miner. The miners themselves use basically no data whatsoever. I'm seeing < 150mb usage for the past month on my dedicated boxes.
