You can’t actually “payout” of nicehash till you hit 0.001btc... they just add to your NH wallet every 4hrs. so at $10/day that’s still 6-7days till you can actually do something with it outside of the NH environment

Rig update:

-gtx 1080 FE, got the mem clock cranked to +850hz, bumped TDP up to 85%. ETHLargement was dialing back a little when it was heating up. Activated custom fan curve in afterburner and it’s way happier. Pretty steady $0.98/4hrs

-gtx 1080 ti: hit it with a heat gun, didn’t help... might end just trying to retrofit everything to the FE for better cooling. Going to prob the board when I have some time first and see if it’s a dead chip somewhere

If you link to your coinbase account, minimum withdrawal is 50% of that, 0.0005BTC. I can withdraw every 2-3 days at that rate. Also, no fees to transfer.

Hrm, maybe I should look into that, opened a crypto.com account as their visa debt is interesting... but now it’s like $1m for the black card... $10k for the green one, the stake has doubled on everything since I opened it too, which is very upsetting since I can’t even transfer funds yet as they haven’t verified my address... it’s been two weeks, wtf

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

I'd treat crypto.com the same way I treat binance. It lets me trade in coins that coinbase doesn't, but I won't verify with Binance. I've verfiied with coinbase, and got my $30 worth of free coins as well.
So I usually go NH -> Coinbase. Trade any coins within coinbase that I can. Xfer BTC into Binance to buy altcoins that coinbase doesn't deal with (XRP, ADA, DOGE, etc). I've moved my ADA into my own wallet so I can stake it, but I'm sitting on a few doge coins and I did make some small gains off XRP before converting it to ADA.

why does it matter how often you can cash out?

I can't speak for others, but I convert mine into altcoins, similar to a portfolio. I don't want 80% BTC, I want some FIL, some ADA, some LINK, some COMP, etc etc. The faster I cash out, the faster I have access to "buy the dips".

In a hypothetical world... I could have been stacking CRO when it was worth peanuts and the stake amounts were only 1/10 as much cro as they are now... and I could have had a green card giving me all of this for $500 worth of mining... but nooooo... now it’s over $10k stake... fucking hell...

I have some 1070 and 1070ti that have been sitting dormant since 2018... I'm living in SF now, might spin them up again, or probably easier to sell to a fellow Beyonder.
PM me if interested!

^pmed for 1070s.

RVN is on a tear right now, I'm getting about 50-60 RVN per day with the 3060ti and 1 RVN is around 0.15 USD so I'm going to mine RVN for the weekend again

What pool miner? Seems inline with NH, but doesn’t take into consideration the underlying asset appreciation... could be worth it to load something up

using TREX as miner and setup RVN Wallet on my iphone as wallet
dont be alarmed if you are only getting half the hashrate with KawPow vs DH.
made 60 RVN coin last weekend, I think I mined only for 24hours
https://www.ravenminer.com/?address=...paUWanKRsDD5rV

I immediately stopped NHQM on my 3060ti and mining RVN now

T-Rex worth the fee? Hrm... will have to see if this pill plays nice on kawpow, designed for daggerhash, takes my OC rate from 25Mh/s to about 36Mh/s... so well worth it

Have no issues with T-Rex, even with the fee it is still quite profitable.
Watch out for your OC settings too though as it is different than DH

for ETH mining my OC setting is 65%, -500/+1270 (62 MH/s) but for RVN I'm running 80% and +120/+530 (27 MH/s)

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

Welp, onto this train I go, I guess.

Maybe not. T-rex Kapow only gets me ~45MH/s. Might need to stick to NH of the 90+ goodness.

yup like I said, hashrate of Kapow is less than DaggerHashimoto but ~45MH/s that should give you about 100 RVN coins in 24 hours.

my 3060Ti is doing only 25-27MH/s mining RVN and I got 50-60 RVN coins last weekend.

======
I started mining at 3pm, will check later around 6pm to see how many RVN coins I've earned in 3 hours.

[ercchry]

Using my trusty gminer, left OC... already pretty aggressive... ethlargement isn’t crashing so that’s good... no idea if it’s actually doing anything though as I clearly don’t have a base haha... at 15.16Mh/s

Edit: crushed like 50 shares in 7min... hash rate is increasing too:

https://www.ravenminer.com/?address=...DdcjKqBD9zWf7q

[ercchry]

Hrrrmmm... $0.88usd in ~4hr... that’s on par with my best 4hr block of time with daggerhash on NH... and I don’t even have ethlargement running... this thing has another 38% day and calling that a win! Payouts at 3hr/5RVN is nice too. Just wish more exchanges listed RVN... I’m sure it will come though

[taemo]

yeah i was going to report almost 9.5 RVN in 6 hrs, currently 1 RVN = 0.2263 so in 1 day I can mine close to 40 RVN for high 8 CAD. lots of room to grow though so will keep mining over the weekend

btw someone listed a 3060Ti Founders edition in FB marketplace earlier, someone was willing to pay 1300$ for it

[msommers]

This thread has me seriously thinking about building a new computer.

A) I could generate some passive income while working out of town for 2 weeks at a time and just leave the computer running.

B) The funds could pay for a new computer build that I've been avoiding for the last 5 years because I'd need a new mobo, cpu, and ram (and new GPU when available), which in the end would be great for the main purpose of my computer which is the photo editing and occasional gaming on Steam.

Essentially I want to mine to build a new computer that pays for itself. Last time I built a computer it was pretty much time-of-the-lin everything at the time, which was like 10 years ago!

Do you guys think this is actually feasible provided I can eventually source all the necessary parts?

Are mining rates largely GPU dependant?

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

It's completely GPU dependent.
The 3060ti is the best bang for buck in terms of hash rate. It's ~1/2 the price of the 3080, for 2/3 of the mining capability. ($600/60MH/s vs $1200/90MH/s)
Payouts (in Nicehash) are dependent on demand. You're renting out your mining capability in that sense. The more demand, the higher the payouts. If the demand is low, it's more beneficial to mine directly using a pool.

I'm roughly 1/2 to paying off my card with mining. I picked it up Jan.. 29th? I've been mining in the background most of the time/overnight, while I'm working, etc. I really only pause it to game.

[ercchry]

Keep an eye on kijiji for 8gb+ gpus... stuff 2-3 in your case and you might just be able to pay off the PC in half a year, but the coin appreciation could get ya there quicker, rolling earnings into coin stakes is the future when gpu mining becomes obsolete
