Re: Mining altcoins in UK

Forget it, electricity in the UK is expensive, do not waste your time, use the money to buy the altcoins you want, that way will be many times more profitable, the alt coins are rising many times more than any mining you will ever do and in the end you will see you did the right thing. Buy and hold.

Im UK... 12.7p is decent. Could be worse

Bitcoin Gold // Wallet Sync?
by
DarrenJC
on 25/12/2017, 19:51:13 UTC
Downloaded the BTG wallet 2 days ago, left it to sync (153GB+)

Its still 2 years behind, Ive given it the huge list of new nodes into the config times but its still downloaded slowly, very slowly.

My router is not seeing traffic above 0.1Mb/s


Any ideas?

Re: dstm's ZCash Miner 0.5.7 disable DEV FEE
by
DarrenJC
on 25/12/2017, 16:55:43 UTC
Still going to use dstm's miner that i already have.

Id rather support the community and its developers by paying dev fees. Just my view.

for me dev fee it's to zcash to pay it...
they win cash from it & on us.

we work for zcash , where you see worker pay boss to get work ?  Huh
not really logic...

but i dont think like this, all i see it's get my money back from hardware buyed / pay my electricity
when it donne im ok for pay fee. ....

If the same people who made/create the coins made the miners, Id agree.

Without 3rd party mining programs.... where would we be?

Re: Anyone max out their Credit Cards on mining gear?
by
DarrenJC
on 02/12/2017, 16:56:01 UTC
Hey All,

Just wondering if anyone has maxed their cards on mining gear?

I'm near it.  I'm generating a pretty good profit though that's earning me more than my credit card interest rate.

I'm wondering how everyone else is approaching it.  Do you continue to borrow and pay the interest?  Or do you cut down on the CC's?

*A part of me wonders if it's a good idea to pay off all the cards to get a higher credit limit... anyone else wonder this too?

You are living my dream

1050Ti "Budget" 6card rig, worth doing?
by
DarrenJC
on 19/11/2017, 10:33:00 UTC
Before i start buying parts, wanted to see if anyone has done this and how they've gotten on?

Purely a budget/hobby/1st rig project. Im fully aware im not gonna be pulling in £20/day with it.

Aiming for:

Z270 mobo - 3 cards in x16 and 3 on risers (trio rig style)
Celeron cpu
4gb
nvOC running from USB stick
1 750w or 850w PSU could be fine for 6 75w 1050Ti cards?

I will be aiming to mine 100% Equihash coins.
