This morning before i went to work i tried to change what Nicehash was mining but i didn't find how to do it, is it possible?

Not answer need it, i guess i have found how to do it, i will post later in case i didn't get it to work.

Just re-run the benchmark and it will select the most profitable one for you.

Yeap, and unfortunately that's what my Cards are mining, don't know what to do, i can't have mining 2 cards that pull over 450W+ when Ethereum is going down so fast.

Oh come on. It's still above the levels we've seen 3 weeks ago - this thread already existed.

So im building a miner for someone and with whats available now ive a few questions , so five pciexx1 is my chosen available mobo because nothing is available ,but hey we work with what you can so to the actual questions.
Is 4Gb of ddr3 enough.?
Gtx1060 mini ,its 20-30 quid cheaper ,lower wattage ,yay or hell nay.?
And hdd i was thinking the cheapest ,pos i Can smash out of an old laptop , but thought maybe a small ssd might help with pagefile use? And hashrate.

It's been going down for a bad reason though: The blockchain is aparently having issues with scability and performance to the point that several exchanges have stopped or delayed trading. All in all, I love Ethereum because it's one of the most innovative coins to show it's face in a while, but it seems it needs some serious dev attention or something.

Still, the time to buy (or in this case, mine) is when there is blood in the streets. You guys know what to do...

EDIT: Speaking of which, looks like no amount of blood will let me buy. Coinbase has aparently halted buy trades?

I don't show anything stopping me from buying eth on coinbase?

It was a notice on the site briefly. Appears to have only been up for about an hour. It was only on buy trades, bizarrely. Looks more like a technical issue.

Uhmmm I have issues, My payout is do today $28 and I just checked and noticed the Bitcoin address some how isn't the same as my Coinbase BTC Wallet? Does the Coinbase wallets stay the same? Because I know I copied it directly from Coinbase.

cdawall · Jun 26, 2017

The address changes the old address is still your address. They have a FAQ about it if you need more information

4 gb ram is fine, especially if using something *nix based for an OS. if youre gonna use windows as the OS you should go with 8. it would run on 4 but it will probably suck as far as usability.

the 1060 mini.. i prefer regular size cards with 2-3 fans as they will cool better and quieter. i mined with a rx380itx single fan, same size as the 1060 mini and that fan had to really wind up sometimes to keep the card cool.

as for the drive, any drive will do but i use ssds as its much faster when doing maintenance like driver updates, OS installs, miner updates etc. i used a M2 ssd in my basement rig as its 2 less cables to worry about. a 64 gb ssd will be fine and they are pretty cheap.

the drive, ssd or spinner, will not affect mining speed.

EDIT: you can get away with a cheap cpu like the i5 G1840. but you may want to go with a "t" series cpu, the "t" denotes low power versions. for example i have a i5 6400t in my htpc. allows me to run the fans much slower as the cpu stays cooler. 35 watt v 65 watts for the regular i5 6400

cdawall · Jun 26, 2017

I run all mini 1060's wattage is kept in the 65-75w range so the coolers are more than adequate. These aren't 150-200w r9 380's.

true enough, i forgot how power hungry the r9 380s are vs the nvidia 10x0 series

still prefer two fans though

When I grabbed my cards it was like $50 USD more for the twin fan models not worth it for me

Delta6326 · Jun 26, 2017

Ugh another issue, had to restart the computer now, nicehash won't even open. Any ideas?

holy smokes thats a big difference. dont blame ya dont know if there was any price difference between the 380itx version and the normal 380 when i bought it. i went with the itx size specifically so it would fit in my htpc when i was done mining on it. its the 2 gb version and couldnt mine eth anymore so now it sits in the htpc playing videos and the occasional game.

restart again and retry? I have had it open slower than dogshit in the past.

Mine zcash with it. They still pull off a couple bucks a day lol

ive been tempted but the htpc is in the living room so we would have to listen to the fan.

htpc build was for low noise/low power: 6400t low power cpu. ssds only, slow case fans. it can handle occasional gaming at 1080p but the fan ramps up pretty quick. that fan noise is fine while gaming but not when watching a movie heh

low noise = happy wife

I am really contemplating a redux on my HTPC right now so it can handle 4K games. Right now I just stream from my desktop through steam which is obviously less than perfect, thanks to mining I have a spare EVGA 1080Ti. I am curious how temps are in the Milo cases.

Solved my issue, glad i kept the zip file. My Antivirus deleted cpuid.dll and MessageBoxManager.dll.

It's official, the price per day that nicehash reports is half of what it was when I started about 10 days ago.

While still profitable it is soon not worth the time to me to be mining on a single 1070 imo. I have been using my laptop to in order to keep my PC at 100% 24/7 but I may stop after this payout tomorrow or maybe go a little longer to see if it continues to drop.

If this trend continues I really pity all who have invested in an expensive rig or a new GPU or multiple in order to cash out. It'll really hurt.
