People don't say what they mine on the forums, cause the more miners there are, the more the difficulty increases. Even if your personal 3x1070 wouldn't actually make a difference, posting such info publicly would maybe influence more, larger miners to get on the same coin.
Unless they mine on autoexchange to btc pools where it's more about what algo to mine, than what coin.
If that is the case, it's very easy to take a look at MegaMiner, NemosMiner or SniffDogMiner algo switchers and see what is most profitable most often.
In my case, with the same setup as yours (3x1070), I can see that the most profitable algos are:
- blake2s, x17, lyra2v2 (these all usually mine Verge coin, so if you want you might try that one)
- Neoscrypt (lots of coins use neoscrypt, vivo, guncoin, orbitcoin, crowdcoin, feathercoin, innova, trezarcoin just to name a few), the fact that there's a lot of them makes neoscrypt an algo pretty stable to mine, even if not always the best.
- Phi (Luxcoin)
There are other profitable algos/coins but they usually are very unstable like nist5-bulwark or tribus-denarius. They sometimes top the charts for profitablity and then drop as fast as they climbed, so I removed them.
I don't know how much more worth it is to mine the actual coin and then spend the time to analyze when is best to convert them, it also depends if you want to mine a coin that you think will go up a lot, but then you're also an investor not only a miner, it's your call, but do share any info if you have it.
Totally agree with dude.
Take whattomine as a reference guide. Never blindly follow WTM.
The highest paying algos have other gems too. You need to search.
