Nope. I went back to mining exclusively ETH. Any second coin you try to mine costs you more in electricity currently. Not worth it. Want a secondary coin? Buy it.
Spot on. Ethash mining only is the way forward for right now.
I decided to do a quick compare on a single GTX 1070 machine (in hiveos so it is consistent):
1. Eth mining only: 29.3 MH/s @ 144W 2. Eth + XVG: 29.2MH/S Eth and 292MH/s XVG @ 158W
So for this single gpu including XVG mining costs me .1 MH/s of Eth mining and 14W of power for 292MH/s of XVG blake2s mining. That seems worth it? I don't have any calculator that includes XVG using blake2s though.
@eqpr With those numbers, and assuming a cost of 12 cents USD per KW, you are spending 4 cents to make 7 cents (only a 3 cent profit) and that doesn´t account for the additional .5% you are loosing in ethereum due to the higher fee for dual mining (which would be about one cent more in cost). It´s up to you to decide whether spending 5 cents to make 7 cents is worth it or not (to me it def isn´t, but that is my personal opinion). Now, these numbers change constantly, so that it isn´t worth it today, doesn´t mean it might not be worth doing tomorrow or the day after that; as a miner you gotta keep on top of these calculations and see shifts that would benefit you and make the best with whatever equipment you have available.
Weird issue with multiple AMD RX580's The switches are only working on the first card so guessing its a syntax error on my behalf, Could anyone assist (only using 3 of the 8 cards here)
Anyone got an idea how to reach my payout limit on Siacoins at nanopool - now ASIC mining is destroying GPU mining of Siacoins and it seems impossible to get any coins with claymore. I am only short of 5 coins to reach the payout limit...
How about you keep on mining? a single AMD 570/580 Gpu can still do ~2.75 siacoins a day (and this is severely downclocked/undervolted). If you got multiple GPUs 5 coins could be produced in less than a day. If you got Nvidia, a 1070 should be about 60% of that when dual mining. 5 siacoins is far away form being considered impossible atm, even with single GPUs. P.S: I am no longer dual mining, but just checked whattomine with my card hashrates to see how many coins one would be getting at current difficulty.
Horrible idea. Compete with ASIC that is 1000x faster? DCR is still good dual mining, but it is one of option on Baikal Giant B, so it may go down at some point.
xeridea, i think you are missing the point. area511 is asking how he can reach his payout threshold to get his balance out of the pool, he is only 5 siacoins short, so I am telling him that mining those last 5 coins would not require that much time as he believes, even with one GPU. I am not suggesting he keeps on mining after that. the longer he waits to mine those last coins the harder it will get.

beforehand, I was getting "Blocks till next confirmation 5" does this mean it will take longer to mine?
"Blocks till next confirmation" shows how many blocks more need to be produced by the network for your next move from "Unconfirmed" to your "Balance". In other words, it is a countdown of how many more confirmations your "Unconfirmed" balance needs to be confirmed and moved over to your balance pending payment. Bear in mind this won't move all of your unconfirmed total over, just the next first batch. Hope I didn´t confuse you more with this explanation.
