I actually got my 3060 12GB before Nvidia sent out the newer LH model GPUs, so I assume what I am dealing with is the Nvidia Driver that's reducing it, so should I try rolling back to before the LH update came out and keep it at that version? EDIT: Also, in GPU-z, I don't see a memory temp read out at all. Unless the "hot spot" is the memory temp?

One of my friends said that dodgeCoin was worth more, but T-Rex Miner doesn't have a batch file for that nor does Exodus wallet even support it. Also my Max MH/s is 22.75. OC-ing doesn't seem to affect it much, but is there a way for my GPU to find more Blocks and gain more ETH faster? I kinda hate the idea knowing my GPU is pinned at 100% and sorta fear it's longer term use since I game on it and video edit some times. I wish I had held out for a higher 30 series card but at the time, I wasn't interested in mining at all.

Well I have a few other questions. 1. If I stop my miner to say, play games, or restart my PC, do I lose progress on anything? Or just start it back up? 2. Ethermine seemed like it found more "shares" then 2miners, do I use them instead? 3. 2miners says "4" above the Blocks icon, But also keeps disconnecting from my miner and says I found zero blocks? I've had some unstableness connection with 2miners even though my internet is good. What is going on here?

I also saw a video that you can transfer your crypto to CashApp, is there an difference in using that, i.e. fees or not, vs going the other route you mentioned above?

So making any profit off Ethereum is gonna take time? Also, does Coinbase support Exodus wallet since that is where my Ethereum is going to be, I assume, transferred too, then I assume I go to Coinbase and give it the "send" address from my Exodus wallet to convert to USD to bank transfer?

I guess I was just trying to get a payout a little faster since I am only using an RTX 3060 but not lose a lot with exchange and all that.

I had heard about Coinbase, but don't you need some Pro account though to sell stuff? Also, I was watching this video just now, and he mentioned NiceHash, but is that a mining software, or what is it exactly?

Ooof, and then if I go to sell that 0.003 ETH, what would the sale price be if I wanted to convert it to USD to make money from it? Should I switch to something better?

So how do I finally get a payout? I feel like I've been mining for days and nothing has been given to me, should I use a different mining Pool like Ethermine instead of 2miners?

I see. Also, I've noticed some weird issue, I don't know if this is a glitch? But some times 2miners acts like my "worker" is offline even though the Batch file is still running. EDIT: Also on 2miners, some time it shows I am owed money, and some times that value disappears and doesn't come back for hours. 2miners miner pool kinda makes me frustrated.

Should I still bother mining it? Or just say forget it and wait till 2022 and try again?

Well I didn't get into mining because I couldn't see how it was really worth anything, and I feel a little stupid now. Also, I realized I was running the wrong batch file and found the one for ETH. How hard is it to stay on top of the "next thing" with this proof of stake and how can I prepare for the 2.0 change and have better luck with it?

Why would it kill off mining exactly? Did I start mining at a bad time here? Also, I have a spare EVGA 980 Ti FTW that's a 6GB card, I know it's older, but could I throw that into a computer and have that at least help my efforts for mining along with my RTX 3060 12GB till I can some how make enough money off this to get a better GPU to take over mining operations?

So apparently my "dag-build-mode" may have been wrong. I changed it from 2 to 0. And double checking here, "ethash" is Ethereum 2.0 right? Because that is the one everyone us using and the one I am interested in mining.
