Best Currency to mine with gtx 1070?

[onemanarmy720]

What is the best crypto currency for me to mine with my 1070. I want to mine a bit when I'm not using my PC, even If i make a coupe dollars id be happy, this is mostly for fun and as a learning experience because I kinda want to get into mining later down the road. Thanks.

Check out NiceHash. It's a very simple to use little program, that automatically runs a benchmark to determine which currency is best to mine, and they only take a 3% cut. Using it instead of setting up a traditional miner is, in my opinion, a lot less of a struggle. Also, you get "paid" in BTC, so you don't have to exchange it if you want to use your money.  One thing to keep in mind is that until you accumulate a certain amount, your bitcoins will be held in an internal wallet, and will not be transferred to your wallet until you hit a threshold. This is in order to minimize loss due to high transaction fees.

currently dual mining ether and pascal with my 1070's. makes about 2.35/day using right at 100w power.

Right now nicehash seems to be pretty damn good, with my 2 1070 doing equihash. 460 sol/s on each card makiung about 2.75/day at 120w power each.

depends on the wallet NH pays out to. If you use their wallet it pays out once you hit .001BTC. If it goes to an external (non-NH) wallet, then you get paid out once a week so long as you are over .01BTC. What I don't like about NH is that they charge a whopping 4% pool fee. YEESH!!!

 

If I were you, and I am x 3, I would be mining ZenCash right now. Super low pool fees on zhash.pro and the exchange rate ain't bad at all. Once you start mining on zhash.pro, don't pool hop. they will penalize you.

 

here's what whattomine.com says about it: whattomine.com

I do agree with others to jump on the NH train but please have a backup plan on where and what to mine next.  

 

be on top of it for I have read a few sites predicting the bubble of NH is coming (more and more people not getting returns on buys)
