So yeah I am a geek who likes to play around with equipment. So far I have stuck to a couple of single GPU card systems and a HP G7 server. Nothing new and pricey. Now I bought a new gaming PC and I got a Zotac 1080 with it and 8th generation I7. I grabbed a copy of the latest crypto dredge and started testing out what the new box could do. Started by mining a bunch of X-cash. Next, I pointed to Zpool and tried out lyra2rev2, phi, polytimos, and bcd. BCD seems the most profitable but also it is hard to "find". Polytimos is easy to find but 1/3 the profit.  Based on my rough calculations I think I can generate about $9 -$10 of bitcoin in about three weeks with this 1 new PC. It has been fun to get back into the mix. I would consider grabbing some asic based setup, but would not be willing to spend thousands of dollars to do it; and also would prefer 120v so it could just heat my man cave. Any advice for my hobby would be much appreciated. I am not trying to make a bunch of money and I would be happy just paying for my hobby over a reasonable time frame. Thanks in advance for any help.
