Nicehash or Etherum?

[BionicMike]

Currently have a 1060 6GB and would like to put it to use mining a bit.

Would it be more worth it to use Nicehash? I've heard people say bitcoin has fees. Or is it better to simply mine one coin? As far as I know nicehash makes it so you're mining the most profitable coin, but i think they take like 2% of fees. so which one is the better option?

Nice hash, the fact it bounces you from one algorithm to another really helps keeps your profitability up. Also the fact your not mining for yourself and actually selling your hashing power means you have a somewhat of a buffer from the voltile prices of BTC if you cash out to fiat on a regular basis or use the coins you mine to buy stuff.

I've been selling hashing power on Nice hash for a few days now (using a dual Titan X Pascal rig), netting about $6/day with some fluctuation.  

 

Doubtful that it's the most profitable means of hashing but it's simple with no need to keep track of what to mine.

I too have a 1060 6gb. I just started mining this week. I started on Ethereum (nanopool) and have been making about 90 cents per day. Switched to Nicehash today and it is showing that I should make $1.62 per day. For me, Nicehash is more profitable.
