Could use some tips to improve

[maxime_vhw]

Hello

 

I'm a new miner(in it for the fun not rly for a profit, atm that is), im currently running nicehash and a nicehash wallet.

But i was wondering if it would be better to use a diffrent miner/wallet and why.

 

Any other tips and advice are welcome.

Currentyl busy reading some of the posts on the forum.

 

Thanks

What's your specs?

At the moment my specs don't really matter. its costing me more then i earn  But im intrested in building a rig. (if its still worth it)

So any mobo should work the same right? i dont have too look at chipset or anything specific since cpu shouldnt be overclocked when gpu mining. Just as much pci-e as possible?

I see some ppl using +€100 mobo's. Why? There's cheaper ones with 6pci-e (ex. ASRock B250 Pro4)

Well at least what's your current GPU?

M8 hhaha i no longer have desktop, im using the laptop i bought for school and some gaming. (Gtx 960m, 2gb). 0.20cents a day hha and its like €0.18/kwh over here. But i kinda want a gaming/mine rig. Feel me, mine when im not on it. (work, sleep, ...). Just trying to absorb some information atm

If I were you I'd build a proper gaming/performance PC for everyday use, and for fun mine with it at night or when you're at school. It would be a waste to throw all that money into a rig specifically for mining. (In your case)

Well thats kinda my plan, but i want the parts to be good for gaming but if i decide to go full mining i have the possibilty.

I know a 1070 does pretty good in eth (from the stats i've seen). So i would earn some cash on it. Not alot but hey, might help me buy a dedicated rig for example.

 

 

Also when mining with something othere than nicehash do you get paid directly or do you also have to wait until you reach a certain amount of coins?
