If I generate a cold ETH wallet, is it valid also to deposit ETC?
I want to mine ETC (ethereum classic) and the only option to create a cold wallet is to go to myetherwallet and generate a keys pair
When I generate the keys I'm not asked whether I want a ether(ETH) or ether classic(ETC) wallet.. so i'd assume it would work also for ETC, right?

I switched to mining ETC 
hashrate 29 MH/s
(i'm using only one card atm, I'm going to add a second one once I'll get a more stable rig)
the problem my rig has, is that wifi connection keeps dropping occasionally...I'm working on it...

..on top of that, I also have the problem that the USB wifi dongle adapter I'm using for the rig, has a very unstable connection and internet keeps falling again and again...
I heard this could be caused by some interfarance with the graphics card...

I installed lolminer v1.28a for windows7
I'm mining Ether by using only 1 card (RX470 4gb)...
hashrate: 0.45 mh/s
is it normal that the hashrate is so low.. or I'm missing something in the configuration???

I disconnected the second and last GPU card (with giant effort! 
....)
and tried running the machine...
There is undoubtedly some SERIOUS POWER SUPPLY ISSUE , looks like the entire shit is running undervolted...
(fan running at half speed, no leds turning on at all, hard disk doesn't even start, no beep sounds apart from a strange soft noise from the buzzer like it's trying to startup but then it fucking dies...)
On top of that I'm totally unable to remove the 24 pin ATX power connector from the motherboard... looks like the plastic has MELT and is totally stuck on the slot!!
the situation is really bad....
But now it's time to post more on tom's hardware, will wear a tech wizard's hat for the following days.. hoping to be back here soon...

I am really sorry to hear you switched off your miner 3 years ago. I have kept mine running non-stop since 2017, thinking that ETH price might one day go above $1000 once again. I have been hodling ETH since the previous bull run in 2017.
Recently, I sold all my Polaris 4GB cards when the hash rate dropped to 21MH/s or so. They were still profitable as per today's ETH price.
If I were you, I would sell them since mining alternatives with them are not too good right now. You could mine ETC or RVN, if you believe in a future for those coins.
If you want to mine ETH or ETC, then consider using Phoenixminer or Team Red miner as Claymore apparently is not maintained any more.
I stopped mining in 2018 after the Ethereum's price plummeted and saw that it was not profitable anymore (my electricy cost is relatively high...) I kind of lost interested in this hobby after that...
Bad news: the rig stopped working! 
yesterday I tried turning it on and it was kind of ok (despite one of the 2 cards not been recognized)... but today the motherboard doesn't turn on at all
Some leds turn on and the CPU fan starts running at a "strangely" LOW speed. It feels like there is some power supply issue, like the motherboard doesn't receive enough power... It may be some really stupid thing like some power supply cable not making contact or something... maybe caused by the huge amount of dust (I made the mistake of leaving the rig rotting in open air for 3 years!)
I will investigate in the next days... I will have to dismantle the all rig hoping to solve the problem...

Hello folk,
Ethereum price is skyrocketing. I decided to go back to mining using my old rig from 2017
Surprisingly enough it still turns on!.. (after collecting dust for more than 2 years)
I have 2x RX470 4gb modded cards running on Windows 7 (with 4gb RAM) . Today I tried running the old dusty rig and this is the list of problems I found:
-Claymore miner is not working anymore ("cannot set epoch" error... I've already searched for this error and I will fix
it by replacing with another miner)
-One card is not recognized by Windows 7 (maybe it is only a problem of some cable connection, I will check it better in the next days)
Wht miner do you suggest to use? Do you think it is still profitable to use 4gb RX 470 cards in 2021?
Thanks for your help!
Will soon give some updates!
