What are the current recommmendations for the 1080TI? Are there any coins with a daily profit above one dollar that are not listed on whattomine.com?

I bolded the key phrase that invalidates your entire argument. The manufacturer of the "secret ASIC miner" is also the one most likely to be running them. In fact, selling a fraction of the ASICs you make to the public and keeping the majority for yourself is a great way to maintain control over a coin's network, bring in lots of money from mining, and pay for their development.

This can also be done by selling, say, a 10kSols/s ASIC to the public when you already have a 50kSols/s version working. You know, like seems to be the case with Bitmain's Equihash ASICs? Or sell a 20kH/s CN miner for a few weeks then roll out a 240kH/s version (like Baikal did).

Even if you don't care about principles and ethics, buying an ASIC when the manufacturers do what they have done over and over again is just shooting yourself in the foot. The fact that BTC and, eventually, LTC were taken over by ASICs without much negative consequence probably has more to do with them being the first ones; in other words, the ASIC manufacturers learned some new tricks and tactics since then.

Anyone who has had X3 running for a month has easily made atleast half of the cost back, with 20$ per day its 50 days the get the other half. Its not bad at all.

With 1080TI we try to max out with other algo.
If you are diehard ETH, dual mine with other altcoin is nice as this ti can do much more on dual mine vs others
The facts still remained the profitability has dropped since last two weeks. Have to face reality
But i am very curios how the other guy claim thry can do 500 dgb a day. Will be nice if he can share his trick

What you'll need is EQUILargement. Coming soon.

You have 15 cards but you're underclocking the memory?!
I belive 1080ti Works the same as any other from the 10 series, so I'd say play between 65%-80% power and depending on the algo try different overclocking until your system is stable and doesn't crash.
In most of the cases though, the core clock wouldn't make any difference (in Neoscrypt I set it to +50 on my 1070ti though, it gives a little boost at no extra power draw). The memory speed is the most important but you need to see what manufacturer you have. Samsung would be the best, it can be overclocked more than others. Oh and because of that reason, you'd better overclock every GPU independently. Some GPUs might be able to handle +700 on memory, others might crash after +600 (those are not 1080 specific numbers).

Any chance CryptoNight can be added to the duel miner?

Hello to everyone!
I am a new member on this forum so I would like your opinion on some things if possible.
I want to begin mining and I have found different opinions on this subject, regarding GPUs, what to mine, profits and so on....
My plan is to mine Eth but I have found that 1080 ti is not the best option for that, Eth is also dropping down on the market, the thing is I want to start making profits ASAP (not in the long run).

Due to those searches I have decided to compare these 2 GPUs:

MSI RX580 ARMOR 8G OC, 8GB GDDR5, 256bit - 550eu
ASUS ROG-STRIX-GTX1080TI-11G-GAMING - 813eu

Both have same warranty, so which would you prefer as a best buy?
(any other suggestion is welcome)

Currently I have I3 2nd generation sandy bridge with 8gbs RAM and 1TB HDD so I wont be building a RIG (lets see how the profits go on this PC with one of the above GPUs)
I don't want to waste money for 1080 ti (if not needed) but also I wouldn't want to stay outdated with the RX580.

Thank you in advance!

Don't mine eth... This isn't good choice for your cards.

That's exactly the same card as Palit Jetstream/Gamerock, only red color instead of silver/blue. The same manufacturer, just different brands for different regions.

Hi,
I have this:

Remote management: file reboot.bat was downloaded

and after the download my origin reboot.bat is changed.

The new file is:
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-us2.dwarfpool.com:8008 -ewal 0x7a4F522BA8d420e66539De7d0439dE6600B397E7 -mode 1 -mport 3333

Why and how??!!!

Can you help me, pls...

Is this still better than mining ethereum now?

what are talking about man ? do you know that btc has a million satoshis inside one bitcoin ? there is a lot of space for growing for this Pioneer coin bro,

yeah. very interesting question.

@trimegistus I know you're a senior member but you may have missed the latest news. I'll post here for you and others.  I don't mean any disrespect to Trim and I'm not even sure of the validity of the info I'm posting.  Maybe we can get confirmation from a second source?

Casper is going to be delayed again. One of the ETH devs current estimate is end of 2018.

https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/6t56a0/important_information_from_todays_ethereum_dev/

The Difficulty bomb will be pushed back as well because of the Casper delays. (16-17 months delay)

ETH rewards will be decreased to curb inflation...

we can see bitcoin 100 usd in future too

Let him invest anything he wants. If he loses its his problem. Maybe this will teach him a lesson about doing some research before investing

Just go on any exchange and look at the time frame. Most coins have increased pretty dramatically in value within a year. Yes the profitability is amazing.

I've been in mining for over a year, back when most coins made me a profit, but a pretty small one. I grew my little farm one rig at a time.

This comes back to what I was saying in my first post. If you're new to this and drop 10K in all this thinking you're going to get your money back in 2 months time, you're going in this the wrong way imho. It's not about charts. Charts can tell you a lot of things, but they can't predict the future (I'm talking about months in advance). Had I kept my 20 ETHs 6 months ago, I'd have 4000$ in my pocket! Even with the best math and trading algorithms, there's always a risk that all of this can crash tomorrow and all coins will be worth crap. For all we know, all coins could go to POS by the end of the month, rendering all mining hardware useless.

So yes, at this very moment, it is very worth it. But, if I were you, I'd invest gradually.

The other way to go into this is trading. You could buy 10K worth of ETH today and triple that money if it keeps growing like it does. It is actually the smarter way to go about this, but you need to understand trading, when to buy and when to sell.

I'm not trying to discourage you, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Buy 1-2 rigs, invest ~2000K, see how it goes and go from there. Worst case, you lose 2K and can sell the hardware on the second hand market. Best case, you make enough with your 2 rigs to buy more rigs and keep those other 8K in your pocket for hard times.

Well I don't have a chart for you but you can check the difficulty rises of each coin you intend to mine and see how fast your income will reduce. Generally though people end up selling their mining rigs once the difficulty has risen too much to be realistically profitable. With ASICs that is impossible, but with graphics cards they are still useful in the secondary market.
