so..... if wanting to get into gpu mining... bit of advice.. where you need to be looking is multiple cheap cards.. stay away ether and that mess.. unless you have 8gb cards or higher and those 8gb are gonna be too small soon too. so if you are going to focus on the 1060 6gb you are going to want to look for multiple used ones for cheap. and run them into the ground. i did that the last wave.. but with 1060 3gb.  still have 4 of those and 2 of the 6gb.  1 is limping tho.. lol. limping bad. but. the 6gb are decent enough if you have many.  I have been thinking about doing a shit rig. get like 10 of the 3gb or 20 of the 1050   USED im sure i can find for in the range of 75 -150 a piece. i think 150 is on the high side but people tend to over value things. then focus on the dying coins. mining is a hunt.. its not just set it to the popular coin at the moment and walk away rich. you work.. you research.. you dig.. till the network hash rate and difficulty are low enough that the profit to power consumption  cost is worth turning them on and then you have earned the reward. and yes i had to say all that to let you know that today mining with one evga 1060 mini i earned approx 15000 satoshis  bismuth


and before i take into consideration of power cost. and bismuth is pretty active.. not dying. i want that clear too. i mine it cause i want it.
