Risk Vs Reward....

Set and forget = Nicehash

Nicehash is going to be always to lowest paid service, because they are reselling all the HASH you are giving them.

But is it worth 5-10% to use a different miner software and pool?

check out awesome miner free version, set to 24 hr actual profit and put ahashpool and niceminer as the mining pools.

Then you can see how much money you could be loosing using nicehash, currently my rig is showing in the last 24 hours

$11.80 per card on ahashpool
$ 8.88 per card on nicehash

Thank you. Does that 5-10% difference include the bitcoin transfer fees to and from your bitcoin wallet? That's what's nice about Nicehash, no xfer fee, and instant to coinbase. THen I can convert to fiat there to make the monthly payment on the gear. Going to take like 4-5 months to pay it off.

Wow, what cards do you use that gets you $9-12 per card?! 1080 TI?

You should try Miningpool Hub auto switch with Nemos, Multipoolminer or Awesome miner. You can set your payout coin and also payout threshold. So you can set somethnig with lower fees like LTC and set it to payout every day based on your hashrate.

I will look into that thanks. Which is your favorite autoswitcher? Do you use Windows or Linux?

I really do like the simplicity of the accounting with Nicehash though. It's pays out once per day... then I just record that as income based on current market value of bitcoin at the time it was paid out. Then once transferred to coinbase, do the capital gains/loss on that. Can import the Nicehash payout log & coinbase logs into some software that will calculate both income taxes and capital gains. If I collect multiple coins it becomes a lot more work for the accounting right?
