RE: Mining, Steem, Reddit and Money - Why I both love and hate the internet.
Yeah the electricity cost is a big one. Fortunately, solar technology is making leaps and bounds. My electricity (and heating) is already being cost offset by solar. It works out at about 3c/kWh.

RE: Mining, Steem, Reddit and Money - Why I both love and hate the internet.
Thanks! Its a confusing endeavor, and its very frustrating when people are so negative about it. On paper, i think theres money to be made, especially when i see posts by people running 50+ cards. Im thinking

RE: #2 GPU Mining Guide. How to make a profit Beginners and Advanced users
Great article! Im just about to order parts for my first rig, and i was very much on the fence about 1060 6Gb vs 580 8Gb, but the oncomming hashrate drop has me worried.

RE: TOP 5 FASTEST GPUs FOR MINING ETHEREUM
also, there's 1070s that have >30Mhs, so I'm not sure you can say these are the "fastest" any more.

RE: Asus announces a new GPU for mining (and opencl)
Isn't this old news? They were announced quite a while ago. The reason they don't have output codec is because they are specifically built for mining. They're still 2-lane slot, and actually, initial test

RE: Can mining still be a career?
Out of interest, when it does go to PoS, if youre in a pool that has a lot of ether between the pool members, is it calculated by the pool or the individuals? Because if its by the pool, then larger pools

RE: Can mining still be a career?
Yes ive been looking at that too. We're using ZCash as a backup, and there's plenty of other things to mine that also look promising. Some of the coins that are currently very profitable started as nothing.

RE: Why i mine "shitty coins"?And is it possible to make money by mining them?
This is a very clever suggestion! Im building a mining rig at the moment, and to me it makes sense to utilise the CPU as well. Particularly, as you said, if its only using 2 cores. Going to look into this

This is very well written. I am one of the new people, just building my first rig now. However, I also have an option in 6 months to invest about 25k in upgrades. I too believe in crypto. Consider this

RE: Some help with building a mining rig?
Yeah I've heard that too, but I haven't seen it on an official statement from NVidia, so I'm of the opinion that it's bs for now. There's a few websites already "selling" the Pallit ones, which

RE: Help me build a mining/3d work rig
Update on the GPU front. Turns out the 1060 9Gbps is showing early signs of promise. At CAD399, its affordable and is considerably less power usage than other options. Thoughts?

RE: Help me build a mining/3d work rig
Thats pretty interesting. Is it likely that it would have a longer life expectancy too? (I.e., that you would get a decent bit of life out of it before the return is less than the cost to pay it

So i have read. However, it does seem like nvidia are catching up, and theres a number of websites that claim that when it comes to hashrate vs electricity, nvidia is more efficient. So, thats why when
