*Update*

I have been running nicehash for the past 24hrs or so on and off, seem to avg between 6.8 and 7.1 Mh/s. Laptop GPU ranges from 51-56c, cooler at night.

When I check my nicehash wallet address 13g6GFPSq3FFQ1SjTD2T9Aov9PPnPnWjs3 it shows my stats, but when I log on to my account on their site, it shows 0 balance and 0 workers... is this because I need to use their wallet address? What is the difference going one way vs thru my registerd account with them/wallet?

Also, I was targetting picking up a new desktop or building one myself in the next week or two, hoping to get a 3060 or 3060ti, or if a rx5700 came available cheap by some miracle. Now I read that the 3060's are going to get their hashing value reduced bigtime as per a news release from nvidia today?

I notice nothing is available for sale on the major websites newegg bestbuy etc, should I look into a prebuilt instead?

Thought I found a prebuilt alienware with a 5700 for 1699 cad, and ther are some prebuilt copms with 3060tis for around 1700-1900 cad before taxes... Any tips on buying a desktop or building my own over the next 2 weeks?

Being that I am goingto likely run this rig hard and game on it hard for the next 2-3 years, I am hoping to get mostly quality parts with at least 1yr warranties from reputable companies... but willing to wiggle if the prices are right.

Firstly, are you using the wallet address they provided to you in there own wallet in the mining software? Also 51c isnt too bad, just don't let it get too hot!

Try getting a 3060ti / 3080 (Best ROI) for your desktop. They can earn up to $6-10 a day if mined and very good GPUs.

Don't buy premade laptops for $2000. A 3060ti is $500 (MSRP) to $1000 (Scalper) and you can make a much better desktop pc for cheaper. Plus laptop GPUs aren't the same as desktop and cannot be resold.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy to help newbies out anytime.
