1050ti is the newest card that has models that don't need power connectors.

Just counting Cuda cores 2 3gb 1060s are in between 1070 and 1080. A bit faster than a 1070 but a bit slower than a 1080. Price for performance I say go with a 1080 if you can get it close to $500. It will resell better as a gaming card later on as well.

How do the hash rates compare to CCMiner?

I think it's a great alternative to ads and a nice way to help fund sites.

The pirate bay already abused its users by covertly running a monero miner at 100 percent CPU power. If they had revealed that they wanted to move to a browser mining funded model there would be no problem.

Other sites will try the same tactics; the blocker plugin gives users control over their computer's resources and site owners an incentive to inform their user base about the benefits of browser mining. We live in the age of services such as patreon, many users who appreciate a site will help pay for it to stay active, no need to pull a fast one on users.

For anyone worried that sites will abuse browser mining this open source project aims to create a blocker plugin: https://github.com/keraf/NoCoin

Agreed, I have used this pool since the beginning and it's always worked great and paid out fairly.

I imagine sha256d or scrypt would be good for comparison, old algorithms that would work on old and new graphics cards. The increase in performance going from one generation of GPU to the next should be observable. If you are testing nvidia hardware ccminer still supports both of those algorithms.

The graphics cards have to interface through PCIE. The Pi simply doesn't support that interface.

Something like a LeMaker HiKey 960 has PCIE gen 2 support and an m.2 interface... so maybe with an m.2 to PCIE slot converter and the software to make it communicate with OS you could run graphics cards. It costs $250 for this device though, so not really saving money compared to the typical x86 motherboard and cpu combos we buy today.

Seems to be, I am unable to connect.

Sign into Bittrex.
Go to Wallets at the top right.
In the list of Wallets find Bitcoin and click the blue plus + button.
A deposit window will appear, it will either have an address or the option to generate an address.
Send your BTC to that deposit address from Coinbase.

Maybe the estimates don't reflect the difficulty spikes when a coin gets to the top of a site like whattomine. I imagine lots of miners start mining whatever is at the top of the list; this makes your rewards lower and slower as the difficulty goes up and the total network hash rate increases.

Payout came through for me too.

Same. Been mining x17 for a few hours without any issue, but no payouts.

One these two options would work:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1707546.0

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1777827.0

Try:

ccminer.exe -a skein -o stratum+tcp://yiimp.ccminer.org:4933 -u YOUR.DIGIBYTE.ADDRESS.HERE -p c=DGB

You will have to adjust the application name to match your miners executable file name

How much network bandwidth does this use through your internet service provider?

Let's say you have an 8TB drive, will it transfer as much data as it takes to fill the drive.

In the United States the largest internet provider limits users to 1 TB per month then charges huge fees if you use more.

www.whattomine.com keeps track of a few algorithms and exchanges. It's a good place to start.

I wanted to post thanks, my last payment included the missing amount from two weeks ago. 

I had a small amount of BTC on the pool that shows was paid out but I didn't receive it.

The TX link goes to http://zpool.ca/explorer/BTC without actually showing a transaction ID

Not sure what is going on, I haven't had this trouble in the past with payouts. Any ideas?

Understood, thanks for the update.
