Re: Can't find a program that mines specifically Bitcoin. Need help.
I'm new to mining, and learned enough about the concept via youtube and google to try to start mining, using my gaming PC yesterday to see if I can do it.
Specs on my PC:
CPU: intel i9-10850k
CPU Liquid cooling solution: NZXT Kraken Z73 360mm Liquid Cooling System
GPU: ASUS TUF 24GB RTX 3090
RAM: 64GB DDR4 (dual channel) (this is in the form of 4 RAM sticks)
PSU: 1050 Watt - High Power 80 PLUS Gold
Operating System: Windows 10 pro 64 bit
I downloaded nicehash, because a youtube video said it's good for mining bitcoin, only to find out I was mining something called mBTC
I downloaded EasyMiner, because another youtube video said it's good for mining bitcoin, only to find out I was mining etherium.
I got nothing against those forms of crypto, but I want to mine bitcoin. Everytime I find a program that says it's good for mining bitcoin, the link to download it doesn't exist anymore or the program mines
something other than bitcoin.
So here are some mining questions that I have:
1. So what mining program actually mines bitcoin? Please answer with a link. I've googled this to death only to find programs that mine cryptos other than bitcoin
2. Why is it when I exit a mining program after I've been mining for an hour, that I lose video feed from my GPU and I have to force a reboot of my PC to get video feed from my GPU again?
(and no, my GPU/CPU hasn't been overtaxed). The warmest temps I got from my CPU/GPU is (50c/61c) for nicehash and (51c/66c) for EasyMiner.
*edid/update to my issue*
Just got my first payout from nicehash. I just figured out that even though I was mining mBTC for some reason, I was paid in BTC. So it looks like I managed to make 0.00001102 BTC which I think is worth .61 in USD. That represents about 2 hours worth of mining total of what I did yesterday, using both my GPU and CPU if my math is right.
Did some math and if my math is right, I'm mining .305 USD/hr on my PC, which means if I let it run for 24hr, I'd be making 7.44 USD per 24 hour period. Does that sound about right to you experienced miners out there, or is there a better way to mine, using what I have?

If you want to mine Bitcoin with a GPU you're either doing it for the learning experience or because you're stuck ten years in the past, IMO. If you want to mine cryptocurrency with your GPU because it's a fun way of getting something else out of hardware you own, you've never had more alternatives to choose from. ETH is curretnly the most profitable crypto to mine with a GPU, but coming shipments of ASIC's for ETH along with the proposed and likely adoption of EIP 1559 will undoubtedly change that, at which time some other crytpo will become the most profitable to GPU mine.
BTW, mBTC stands for mili-Bitcoin. It isn't a separate cryptocurrency, it's a measurement of BTC; 1 mBTC = 0.001 BTC
Good luck no matter what you decide to mine or not.
Re: PhoenixMiner 5.5c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
I used to test latency times the old fashioned way using ping.exe util but this is not very accurate way as stratum is not same as tcpip right, its like on its own layer..
Ping uses ICMP packets, not TCP/IP packets. ;-)
The ghost of shitcoins of the past such as Weedcoin, Stablecoin, and Chinacoin all ask me to tell you that mining shitcoins is a crap shot. If I'd dedicated those cycles to Coblee's little project instead of thinking "If only I mined a shitcoin!' I'd have had about twice the LTC I ended up with, which was enough for me to finance a new life and take a two year vacation at the end of 2017. If I'd mined twice as much, I'd still be drinking on a beach or mountaintop somewhere.
Don't mine shitcoins, kids.

Search the board here and I'm sure you'll probably find someone from each of the manufacturers you're interested in with an account. Use an escrow service for your purchase if possible, or use a credit card with fraud protection like you would for any other large purchase on credit.
So much FUD. You people do realize there are better ways to make a profit than to push weak hands out the door, right? regardless of your pick of coin, the blockchain gets more valuable and more robust the more people and nodes are on it.
GPU miners out there, I'm with you.

Thanks for the replies and discussion. I'm probably nuts, but I've decided to jump back in with at least a GPU based machine or two if even only for the fun of it and old time's sake. Finding GPUs is definitely going to be tough though, the prices are crazy!
As an engineer I used to design back up power solutions that ensured 100% uptime for my offices and remote locations. 100% solar/off grid with 24x7x365 reliability is entirely within reason with proper design & operational controls.
I mined LTC and a few other scrypt coins back in 2013-2014 using a small GPU based farm and am now thinking about jumping back into mining after a few years off; is it nucking futs to want to rock a GPU farm for a few solves again, or has the supremacy of ASIC's really made this insane to consider even IF I had a zero cost power solution?
