Hello guys, i'm new to the mining business, bad timing for what i've seen in this thread  Undecided

I've got my KFA2 GTX 1060 6G at a stable 24 MH/s Eth (W10) and i wonder what would be the most profitable thing to mine with it. (and if you have any advice about it, it would be awesome. Smiley )

I'm considering building a rig but don't really know what would be the best GPU to buy, any advice? i'm living in EU and considering investing about 2,5K€ (6 or 8 GPU). The goal been first, not loose any money over it, then try to earn some while having fun discovering. Cheesy

ty for your time guys.


Is it just me or is GPU mining dying a very quick death?  
The profitability of Ethereum mining is highly correlated to the profitability of all gpu mining.  As Ethereum becomes less profitable, people switch their rigs to other coins, which in turns makes their difficulty go up.
Ethereum's difficulty is going up exponentially, and I am also hearing there will be a halving within a month (is this true)?

Of course there is some equilibrium.  Eventually mining becomes unprofitable enough that many quit and the difficulty goes down.  But the only players left competing will be those with sub 4 cent electricity and those who have access to big bulk discounted deals on GPUs and other parts.   I assume that the ROI will be around 12-16 months when this happens and that will probably be as bad as it gets.  

It seems like the only thing that can spark a resurgence in GPU mining is if the price of coins go way up.  And I'm thinking at least 5x higher than they are now (which is very possible).  

Would like to hear some of your thoughts on the future of GPU mining and the best strategies moving forward.  

Hey guys, would be great to hear your thoughts on the matter. i read a few posts on the fork in bitcoin but couldn't understand really well, ty.



FUD = Fear, uncertainty and doubt

Right now  that is king for crypto coins.

Fear = those that bet their left nut on the bull run are overextended  and scared shitless.
Doubt = those that made a few bad moves  doubt what they did.

Uncertainty  = no one really knows where the coins  will shift how prices will hold up etc.


I offer you this  certainty = we all be dead in 150 years or less Grin

I offer you this for fear  there is big money in the game  over 100 billion in coin and gear.

Intel
Amd
Nvidia
Corsair
Evga
Sapphire
Zotac
Asrock
Asus
Biostar
Dell
HP

and many companies  have a vested interest in selling us pc's for mining.

For doubt  I offer you this  the list of companies above do not want gpu mining to fail.

So  for now simply  under clock under volt  and thread water.

For the  btc split  use some gear for core wallets.

I built a new core 14

I am updating this core 11 to a 14.
I can only have one online at a time
but I will have 2 core wallets

lastly I sold enough coins to pay all mining bills and to have money  to buy back coins  if there is a real crash.
