[piemadd]

Does anybody know what a good coin to mine is on a lightly used r9 270x 2gb from msi.

a 2gb card isn't going to mine anything.

Uh, just don't bother.

with electricity costs, i would be losing, but electricity is free. i would get only 4 bucks a day with monero, but im getting a better card this December. whatever i can get for around $180. Im selling this card, and I sold another card for $100(gtx 960 2gb)

Oh so you're one of those people that mines on a GPU and then sells it so that the buyer can have it die on them a few months or years later.

I got the card for free, so I could sell it now, get the money from the other card, and then get something better.

 

Also, my price would be about $20 cheaper, and I would let the buyer know the card it was mining for a month and a half, and it was used before that by somebody else.

I am surprised at that much cash. I am using Nicehash with a GTX1080 and pulling 2.50 a day or less.

If you think about it PURELY from a "money in your pocket" point of view, yeah, it's gonna suck. but you also have to think about HOW you want that money. Sure you'll comparitively not get much if you just cash out all the time (pool fees, network use fees, transfer fees, fees upon fees), but what if you just HOLD IT. Save the coin you mine and let it appreciate in value?

 

I could cash out my ZenCash right now and get $120. But if i continue to mine and hold that for a year, and ZenCash is double, TRIPLE what it was when i started... That's a very merry Christmas to me!

Try it and see. People have good reason to say don't bother on a 2GB card (because of blockchain size) but you won't be losing anything to find out for yourself.
