Hello all, I was watching one of the videos, and he mentioned it would be profitable to turn a gaming rig into a miner, I am a 66 year old computer nerd, I have a rig, here are the stats
Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. X399 AORUS XTREME-CF
There are different online mining pools. Unmineable is popular because you could have different crypto payouts. Also, you should check which server gives you the most payout.
They usually have auto detect for your hardware and profitability charts.
I also am a senior on limited fixed income. I built a gaming rig, to occupy my time, just about the time Chia was the big topic. Started it mining with one 1080 and one 1660. Tried using nice hash. It didn’t like the GPU driver I had. Vosk coin was sponsored once by Cudominer. So I gave them a try. Fired right up and started hashing away, even CPU mining Monero on the dual CPUs. (28 threads) Cudominer pays out in BTC. I’m too conservative for most of the alt coins.
Then another Vosk coin tube was sponsored by mineology. Crowd funded purchases of BTC S19j ASIC miners that are then hosted around the world. I bought €500.00 shares, (4.5%) of one. My first payout was ,ooo722 BTC. No I’m not going to get rich off of these sources of BTC, but my plan is to hodl coins to purchase a larger share of another ASIC Q1 or 2 of 2022.
I have added another 1080 to the desktop, and just ordered two more risers cables and a 4 usp PCIe slot adaptor so I can add the 2 P104-100 GPUs I stupidly bought from someone in Japan. Terif unexpected ouch.
I finally received my Kerlink a couple of weeks ago. And finally figured out how to get it set up. Just in time for HNT to lose 45% in value. So another coin I’m going to have to hodl.
All of these things I buying on fleabay through the Social Good app that I also learned about from Mr Vosk
P. S. I’m not a nerd im a technical illiterate. Takes me a while and some major cognitive dissonance to learn this stuff.
The PCIe splitter failed. I started getting error codes I’ve never seen before. Unplugged the card and computer now operating normally. Guess I’ll have to fire up the panda miner to run the P104 s.
