With the ETN fork I was wondering what is the best coin people are mining right now? Whattomine and Coinwarz only show a few coins with max say $12 per day but if you look on Nicehash at the Cryptonight pool it's paying $22 a day for the same hashrate (320khash). That tells me people are mining another cryptonight (old not v7) coin that's more profitable than $22 a day. Unfortunately X3 isn't compatible with Nicehash. I was wondering if anyone had found what that coin or coins were? I've struggled Googling around to find the best one.
I haven't seen anything over $6.50 a day. That X3 can mine.
The X3 is now roughly on par with a 4 card 1070 rig for income, the rig would be about 20% more energy efficient. That's what everyone had been saying for a while.
ASICs are great if you can get in early or if they are for a stable coin (the Litecoin and Bitcoin miners tend to be worth running for long, long periods of time, for example). The X3 will likely be a spaceheater that pays for some to most of the energy it uses by July. Z9 probably by August, depending on how many they ship. That's why batch 2 and beyond is never a good purchase unless it's for a coin you are collecting and holding.
And yet we'll keep buying ASICs and fund BITMAIN next gen ASIC which they would sell once they do some good amount of "testing".
