This is an honest question. Why would you throw money away buying a bleeding edge graphics card when you can buy 3-4 other cards for the same price with a combined hash rate that will shit all over that card for overall value and hashrate?
edit: You can buy 5 RX470s for the same price as the one Ti.
Hmm...
5 x 470 = ~140 Mh/s on ETH which is about $16 / day
1 x 1080ti = ~1000 Mh/s on Skein which is about $16 / day
I'm not even going to talk about power consumption or space savings in this scenario
1000 mh/s? I thought it was more like 600
There is a new software build that gets it up to 1000.
Of course you need to do the build as no one has done it for you.
It involves more work then a simple download unzip extraction .
So I decided to not mine skein until the software is done for all as a simple download extract add a bat.
My position is the pools should do this for the miners.
And at this Moment they have not.
This all goes to my belief that alt coins are pump by major companies to sell Thier gear.
So to make it hard to download and mine skein is shortsighted on skein developers and skein pools.
This is true of every gpu coin.
So I mine zcash and make 1/2 that I would on skein.
Not because I don't know how to blend the spilt software but on principle,
