I've seen good articles about the new coin Grin, more people are mining grin at the moment . Do you think I should mine grin also?

On my rigs, grin actually uses less power than cryptonote which is a good thing.

The only problem is that you will need 8Gb + cards if you are on windows 10, 4Gb and 6Gb cards don't work. I've read you can get the 6Gb cards to work if you revert to Windows 7. The issue being that on Windows 10, the OS reserves part of the GPUs memory, and Grin needs as much of the memory free as possible.

You can get 4Gb and up cards to work on Linux with minerbabe distro it seems, haven't had time to try it yet.

Miner support isn't really great on Grin atm if I'm honest.
Wow so I really need a 8gb gpu to smoothly mine grin, well thank you for the heads up.
Not necessarily just like been said above by h311m4n when you are on windows 10 then 8gb but going on lower gb's will need to revert windows edition.

Im not saying this coin isnt good to mine. Each of us would have the jurisdiction as long this would fit into your interest on mining it then why not?


You're right i agree, anyway i really wanted to give it a try mining grin. Lots of thanks guys.
