My 1080 buttmining while undervolted is basically is paying for my lunch 4~5 times a week, depending what I have. Hey, free lunch, can't really complain.

I switched to the new nicehash that has dual mining enbaled for nvidia cards, but since i use command lines to limit usage (basically I don't let my GPU get above 95% usage), it must not be as profitable as others (blake2k's, lbry) because I almost never see my miner on it.

I've got dcri at 150. Tried 92 but that ended up worse for dual mining. Not really bothered to try closing the gap between those two numbers to find best hashing efficiency, so 150 it is, which is the recommended value for 1080tis.

What settings do you use for limiting?

u wot m8. Gaming hardware in particular burns bright and short and wears out before its time, particularly if you're using it at full power 24/7.

How many of you are planning, after you've finished thrashing them half to death for your internet pogs, to put your graphics cards on Craigslist with the description "almost-new, hardly-used <whatever>" with the self-justification "Well these cards are designed for gaming and I hardly used them for gaming so it's true"?

edit: Also how many of you have already returned new graphics cards for warranty replacement after thrashing them to death with the reason for the claim being "it was DOA" or "I hardly ran it at all in a cool environment and it just stopped out of the blue"?

What kind of warranty request requires you to explain the lifetime usages of the hardware?

You buy electricity you dinguses. Unless you live with your parents then they are going to be annoyed that you're increasing the power bill whilst squirreling away fantasy currency which has an effective value equivalent to one tenth of the cost of the power bill.

And nice hash even gives you a profitability calculator, showing that it's the other way around. I think it's even linked in the OP.

I still can't believe that guy bought 44 1060s *now*, signed a lease for 2 warehouses with a 3rd on the way, and he paid above MSRP to boot.

Where do they make these people?

Profit after electrical and cooling means about 40-50 bucks for 10 minutes effort.
