Errrm, that is not why it's flagged.

It flagged because hackers put mining software inside their viruses so they can command and control your machine to mine for them.  What websites run has nothing to do with malware signatures.

Of course it does.  You're putting software on your machine and you probably don't know what's in it, especially if you are downloading wallets for brand new coins.  Major coins and established mining software is much less of a concern.

Check the beware of increasing sophisticated infection attempts sticky thread...

Remember how Eth was going PoS in fall of 2017 and we were all screwed?

If ETH manages PoS before 2019 I will be shocked.  They will push back the difficulty bomb again.

What the hell are you talking about?

Mining profits are still near an all time high.

Because there is a gpu mining craze and tons of other people are building and running rigs. 

Maybe actually do some research...?

Bump. 

Look how stupid this thread looks in hindsight.

Crypto is full of suprises

LOL. That's idiotic FUD.  Crypto is as good as it needs to be.  Quantum computing will require a huge increase in entropy and changes in methods but we are not going back to the 70s.

Either the Devs are too clueless to see how bad this all  looks or they just dont care... Either way it's bad... Doesn't look as bad as some of the scams I've seen on here so maybe it's legit.

Trying to sell it to the guy calling it out as a scam is pretty funny.  Good stuff there.

You could actually research and then mine coins yourself.

Because the tech is actually good and original, unlike most of the shit people shill around here.

Yeah.. So many people seem to think ll cryotos have the same maximum supply, apparently.  The exchanges had a huge run on all "cheap" coins a few weeks back.  

Coins I've looked into that seem to have some red flags:

Feel free to argue why i might be wrong on these, I have not completely researched them all.  I tend to be risk averse and avoid coins where the Devs might dump a large share, but still want to get in early.

Thanks, I guess this topic is just too general for what I'm looking for.  I'll create a more specific thread.

Please stay on topic and discuss which newish or low difficulty altcoins that have promise.  Let's discuss altcoins we expect to increase in value and maybe even aren't on exchanges yet, and help each other sift through the premined/instamined/scammy coins in the ANN section.  Let's find the next Verge and avoid the next Signatum.

Here are some that haven't hit the what to mine rankings yet but seem reasonably profitable or promising. 

XSH - Shield coin - multi algorithm
ITNS - InstenseCoin - Cryptonight (10% premine)
ORE - Galactrum - Lyra2v2 (3.6% premined)

I'm sure there are more promising projects than those, what have you got?

Is this thread actually about altcoin mining?

It's hard to filter through the hardware wallet and mining hardware talk to find people talking about mineable alts.  Am I in the wrong thread here? 

None of those cards are selling for a good price.  Also, use Google.  This isn't exactly difficult information to find.

Except the 1080ti is better at literally everything except cryptonight. It's not even close at all when you look at hash power per Kilowatt used.  How is Vega better overall?  1080ti can chase the crazy prices every week while Vega hopes cryptonight coins stay pumped up. Just like you said, difficulty caught up on the cryptonight coins. 1080ti is more flexible to allow you to mine any algonwith a hot coin.

Honestly asking to see what I'm missing here as I'm trying to decide between them right now.  I'd get a Vega55 if it were 400 dollars but it seems like a tough choice when you're talking 750ish for either 1080ti or Vega56.

I don't get how the Vega is better because monero and sumo and etn have pumped, but the 1080ti isnt better because the equihash coins pumped.  The Vega is awesome for crypto night and I love monero, but what happens when there are more Vegas out there in the hands of miners and are trapped mining cryptonight? Difficulty will skyrocket especially if the profitability of one of the 3 or 4 popular cryptonight coins decreases, will it not?

Today, using last 24 hours profit only, 1080ti has 15 coins over 5 dollars a day profit.  Vega has 4 coins above 5 dollar per day.

I also don't agree with your Psu or gpu advice.  Not saying it's bad but I have a different opinion.  If mining Eth why 5x 580s for 310 dollars? I'd rather have 8x 570s at 210 dollars.  Those should be good for another year, and who knows if mining Eth will still be one of the more profitable coins in a year?  8 570s will get you about 224 mHs vs 150 MHs for those 5 580s.

I'd also rather mine Eth with 1070s if I have to pay over 300 dollars for the 580s anyways and wanted DAG size insuranceil into 2019.

I would also get 2 PSUs.  750s or 850 And I'd go evga gq.   It's close in price and you run much more efficiently at 50 to 60 percent of load and allows you to run 8 cards.

Don't buy off eBay either.  They are selling stuff above retail price and you don't get the warranty.

This, exactly.

Its unbelievable how many people repeat this stupid argument.

Double? Where are you getting that from?

 It's about the same from what I've an tell and the 1080 Ti is much more versatile.

If I could get a Vega at MSRP that would make sense but right now the 1080ti seems like a better choice than an 800 dollar Vega.

Also, of course I know about exchanges.  The point is your profitability is tied to a single algorithm and depends totally on coins with that specific algo being profitable when you swap them.

What to mine actually has the 1080 Ti at 14 dollars a day profit vs the Vega 56 at 10 dollar per day over the past 7 days profitability.
