26 June – 1080 Ti Mining – ~$1/1080 ti, Zcoin

by 915 Comments

Hi guys, you must be curious to know which is the best coin to mine with Nvidia GTX 1080 ti. Some of you might have bought GTX 1080 Ti for gaming or video editing and would want to earn some extra money when your cards are not in use, if that’s the case then you have landed on the right page. I will be updating this article frequently with the most profitable cryptocurrency to mine with 1080 Ti, so consider subscribing to notifications ( use bell icon, bottom right).

Some of you might have bought a bunch of GTX 1080 Ti, dedicatedly for mining and looking for the most profitable algo for your cards. I am also mining dedicatedly with 7 GTX 1080 Ti’s.

Mining profitability depends upon many factors like mining difficulty, pool hashrate, coin price and block finding luck. I have tried a couple of mining profitability calculator websites like whattomine.com but they don’t provide accurate information. It’s not their mistake as no one can predict the future. Whattomine provides you a glimpse of a particular coin that may be the most profitable to mine right now. One more problem with such profitability calculator websites is that many times they don’t even list the coin which is most profitable.

 Tip: If you use any profitability websites to check the most profitable coin then always try to mine a coin that is ranked at number 3 or 4 there. Put this tactic to use only if you see very little difference in profitability between coin ranked at 1 and 4. The logic behind the tactic goes like this everyone starts mining rank 1 coin which increases the difficulty and hence you will be earning less as compared to shown on whattomine. I will be updating this post with the most profitable algo/pool/coin to mine, so no need to search here and there. Press CTRL+B to bookmark this page.

Best Coin to Mine With GTX 1080 Ti Today 

Gone are the days when we were earning $15/day for each 1080 Ti but with a flood of cryptocurrency miners I don’t think those days will be back.

Most profitable Coin to Mine Today is Zcoin [$1/card]

Update: 14 August 2020

Mining Zcoin. It provides a daily profit of around $1/1080 ti. Zcoin consumes less electricity as compared to other coins.

Best Crypto Derivative Exchanges

Update: 6 August 2019

Since the last few days mining GRIN and you can expect a daily profit of ~$1/1080 ti.

Update: 19 August 2018

Since the past few months, I was mining RVN and some Lyra2z coins. Profitability dropped from $10/1080ti to $1/1080ti. Bitcoin manages to bounce from $6k zone and now testing $6600 resistance. Hopefully this time Bitcoin able to break major resistance at $12000 and we able to see new BTC ATH soon. Alt market is bleeding due to the sudden jump in Bitcoin price and alt party will start once Bitcoin stabilizes.

Good coin to mine right now is RVN and Lyra2z coins. If mining Lyra2z coins then use T-Rex miner which will mine at ~4.5 MH/1080 ti.

 

Update: 03 May 2018

RVN is pumped up today and the current price is 0.00000500 BTC.  I sold all my RVN today. At present mining, RVN will give you $4/day/1080 ti . Check Raven Mining Guide 

Update : 27 March 2018

It’s depressing that $3/day/1080 ti days are back.My advice to you don’t convert your mining earning to fiat now. Just wait for market to recover and hope for best and don’t hold crappy coins.It’s better to have something then nothing.

Since last few days I am mining RVN coin and it is providing decent profits $3/card but difficulty is increased a lot now. At the time of writing this RVN price is doubled in last 24 hours and currently trading at .00000870 BTC, I sold mine at .00000790 BTC.

Update : 07 March 2018

MLM difficulty now increased to 61k when I shared it was around 4k. Also MLM official wallet is down since 2 days so price may dump when backs online. Not much profitable to mine anymore.

Now I am mining SPD coin which will give you around $5+/card. Raven also give stable profits.

Update : 2 March 2018

RVN difficulty is doubled so earning less coins now. Best coin to mine and sell today is MLM – mktcoin which will give you $10/card.

Update : 28 February 2018

Our pool is started JkcPool.com ,All following coins are added to the pool. It will be great if you use my pool for mining.

If you want instant profits then you can mine VRT,SPD which will give you $5+/1080 ti. I don’t recommend holding MN coins in wallet either sell immediately after mining or put in masternode.

I am currently mining RVN, which is not on exchanges yet but peer to peer exchange price is quite high.

Not mining JLG anymore as difficulty increased a lot. Jolt Gas (c11 algo)

Update : 27 February 2018

I am not mining CURV anymore, CURV is listed on Crypto-Bridge.

Update : 8 February 2018 : Mining  Kreds and Raven

I was very busy in past few days and whole crypto maket was going down. I have given some updates, hope you followed that.

Today I am mining two coins Kreds coin and Raven coin, both on Suprnova pool.

Update : 4 February 2018 : Mining  CRS

Whole crypto market is looking very bad. Don’t know where Bitcoin is going, too much FUD. Stopped mining RACE as difficulty increased a lot.Best coin to mine today are  GRLC ( need powerful cpu but most profitable right now ) and  ARGO.

I am mining shitty coins right now CRS, Lyra2v2 and currently not listed on any exchange. Mining difficulty for this is low right now, so I am mine  and hold for few months till it hit exchanges. Considering mining it risky as it can be worth zero in future.

Another update regarding CRS is developer team changing mining algo from Lyra2v2 to Lyra2z. You have to swap your old CRS coin before 15-Feb-2018.

Update : 25 January 2018 : Mining  Shit Coin

BHD, MUN, etc all down by 50% in price.Hope you sold before dump. If you are willing to sell coins then place sell bids don’t dump on buyers bids because it create panic selling.

I am currently working on forum site, that’s why updates are slow.

Yesterday coin BHD, few hours back got listed on stocks.exchange.  BHD will give you at least $8/day/1080 ti.

Update : 24 January 2018 : Mining  LUX,LIZ

Whole Crypto market is bearish right now .So can’t predict profits.No good coins today. Mine any of these two LUX, LIZ. JKCrypto visitor shared LUX spmod link which will give you 10% more hashrate.

LIZ is recently got listed on Stocks.exchange and coinsexchange and rumor that cryptopia soon.Project looking good and right now slowly increasing in value.

Update : 19 January 2018 : Mining  BTX,

Mine any LUX, LIZ, BTX for good profits.Check BTX mining guide here.

LIZ price is dropped by 30%-40%, I will be holding my LIZ for 1 day more but still give you $8+/day/1080 ti.

Update : 13 January 2018 : Mining MUN

NMS rewards will be reduced after 70000 block and difficulty also increased. Hence not profitable anymore.

Today will be mining MUN coin which will give at least $12/day/1080 ti. Check

Update : 12 January 2018 : Mining NMS

Today mining NMS coin which will give $13/day/1080ti. Check Numus Coin Mining Guide Here

Update : 8 January 2018 : Mining ZeroCoin

Guys mine zero coin today which will give you around $12/day/1080 ti.

For me zero coin miner is not stable, crashing. After research I find out it was my poor CPU , celeron g3900.

I you have 1-3 cards mining rig with poor cpu then give it a try, should work . If having strong processor i3,i5,i7 then miner should work fine.

Miner need large page file size, e.g. page file for 7 1080 ti will be 77 GB.

Update : 6 January 2018 : Mining Bitcoinz

BWK difficulty is now increased so earning less now but still good to mine. ORE difficulty is decreased but expect price decreased once coinsmartkets goes live, consider ORE mining risky, may not be price decrease.

I am mining Bitcoinz, BTCZ now, 800 BTCZ/day/card which is around $9/day. Know How to mine BTCZ

Update : 5 January 2018 : Mining Bulwark

Today mining Bulwark with profitability $10/day/1080 ti. Know How to mine Bulwark

Update : 2 January 2018 : Mining ORE

I am still mining ORE and you can expect minimum $8/day/1080 ti. Risk takers can mine STAK which will give around $12/day/1080 ti, considering STAK price is 50% increased today, my advice to all STAK miners to dump STAK ASAP .

Nvidia GPU Miners: Ccminer 2.2 mod-r2 ( 70 mH/s for GTX 1080 ti )

AMD GPU Miners: Sgminer

In batch file after “-o” replace everything with

stratum+tcp://yiimp.masterhash.us:4533 -u GN8M3rj9qUPraELo3f5nXfLwF93NDjCDov

Don’t forget to change wallet address with yours (after -u ) . Download Ore Wallet.

ORE is listed on coinsmarket exchange.

ORE price right now $14 and you should expect 0.75 ORE/1080 ti/day

 
 
 
 

If electricity cost high at your area then you can mine zero coin with profitability minimum $7/day/1080 ti. Uses same power as that of zcoin. Use suprnova pool to mine.

Update : 28 December 2017 : Mining GOA Coin

Today mining GOA coin and as ORE coin difficulty is increased and rewards reduced.

GOA coin price is increased by 60% today. GOA coin is most profitable to mine right now.

Use miner which I shared here only for faster speed.

For 1080 ti – HSRminer

For other Nvidia – KlausT

GOA coin Wallet – Download Here

Enter following in batch file and replace “GcsjPWW7hmvF5r1Zu3uW8hWEoTsDZEjwTA”

hsrminer_neoscrypt  -o stratum+tcp://pool.mineproject.ru:4233 -u GcsjPWW7hmvF5r1Zu3uW8hWEoTsDZEjwTA  --cpu-priority 3 
pause

GOA is listed on coinsmarkets exchange.

GOA uses neoscrypt algo so increase page file size. If you have 7×1080 ti then page file should be 80 GB

Update : 17 December 2017

I am mining zcoin right now. I think price will increase after upcoming hard fork on 23 December . My advice will be hold your zcoins.

Tip For Lazy People

Mining profitability changes frequently. Coin/algo which is most profitable today might not be the most profitable tomorrow so you have to regularly check this post to stay updated. If you don’t have that much time then you can start minining zcash which will provide you a fixed profit of $2/day/card. Zcash has a large marketcap so its price doesen’t fluctuate that much.

You can try algo switching miner, which automatically mines the most profitable algo. Check next post segment to know more about it.

Best Algo Switching Miner For GTX 1080  Ti

Sniffdog Multipool Miner

This algo switching miner will work only for Windows and designed specifically for Nvidia 1080 Ti.

Miner is fully automatic and will switch between algo/coin/pool automatically to provide you maximum profits.

Miner supports zpool, miningpoolhub,hashrefinery.

If you are facing problem how to use this miner, check this how to guide(will be posting very soon)

Windows Shell Script is required to run this miner. Windows 10 comes with script  installed by default so if you have an on older version then download it from windows website. 

Note : Always check this post to know the most profitable algo to mine. The problem with these algo switching multipool miner is that miner switches between different pools/coins/alogs frequently and during those transition period you wouldn’t be mining anything thus loosing hashrate.

Best Nvidia GTX 1080  Ti Variants For Mining 

Before buying my 1080 ti’s I searched a lot for finding the best 1080 ti variant for mining. For my mining rig I required cards with –

1. Best Cooling – Neglect founder editions (one fan) and 2 fans variants.

2. Heat Sink – Thicker the card heatsink means better cooling.

3. Warranty – If you will be mining whole day, chances of card failure will increase. So opt for brand which provides maximum warranty and have good customer support.

I watched many youtube videos and read many crypto forums and after all this I came to conclusion that Gigabyte Aorus Extreme 1080 Ti and Zotac AMP Extreme 1080 Ti are the best options available for now.

Gigabyte AORUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition 11G :

Comes with 3 fans and a 4 year warranty upon registration.  Heat sink of this card is much thicker as compare to other 1080 ti’s variant available and card stays cool.You will be getting it for $769 on Amazon.

Buy Now

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 Ti AMP Extreme :

Also comes with 3 fans and provides 5 year warranty upon registration. This card heatsink is thicker than Aorus Extreme making it the thickest 1080 ti available in the market. It also provides better cooling than Aorus Extreme. Get it for $850 on Amazon.

Buy Now.

Which One to Buy Between These Two ?

I have 4 Zotac Amp Extreme, 2 Aorus, 1 Aorus Extreme. Out of these three, best performing card is zotac amp extreme as it provides better cooling, 1 year more warranty and more hashrate as compared to other two. So best buy will be Zotac AMP Extreme 1080 ti.

Should You Buy Nvidia GTX 1080  Ti  For Mining ? 

Six months back when there was no price hike in GPU market , at that time the best mining cards were AMD RX 470, RX 480, RX 570 RX 580. These cards were best for mining Ethhash algo ( Etherum,Ubiq) but now you can’t buy them at decent price.The price has been hiked for these cards and now to buy them you have to pay 50% premium which kills the deal.

Other option available for mininig is Nvidia Cards. We have GTX 1060, GTX 1070, GTX 1080 ,GTX 1080 Ti.

Note : Don’t buy Nvidia P 106-100 dedicated mining cards. With these cards you can’t play games means no resale value and the only purpose they serve is mining. These cards have 90 days warranty only.Buy this card only if you are getting it  at half the price of GTX 1060 6 GB.

Nvidia GTX 1060 :

Don’t even think to buy 3 GB version of this card for mining. Etherum dag file size is increasing and very soon this 3GB Nvidia card and 4GB AMD cards will face memory problem.

I don’t recommend you to buy this card as price of 3 X 6GB GTX 1060  ≈ 1 GTX 1080 Ti.

You earn only 20% more as compared to single 1080 Ti.

Considering overall cost to get 3 GTX 1060 running, you end up investing more as you need more space, more riser cable, more PCIE ports, more power supply and other necessary computer components.

GTX 1080 Ti is the newest GPU from Nvidia, it will last longer and have better resale value.

What is Best GPU For Mining

Nvidia GTX 1070 :

If you want to buy only one card for gaming/mining/editing then you can buy this card. But if you want to buy 3 of these then its better to buy 2 GTX 1080 ti.

Price of 3 GTX 1070  ≈ 2 GTX 1080 Ti.

Profitability of 3 GTX 1070  ≈ 2 GTX 1080 Ti.

With 1080 ti’s you will be saving space required and components needed.

Nvidia GTX 1080 :

Don’t buy this one as it is expensive and not great for mining.

Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti :

In GPU mining this is the best card, price to profitability ratio. Card performs great on much more algos as compared to other GPU’s which means it will last longer for mining.

Go and buy this one and now if you are thinking which GTX 1080 Ti variant to buy ? I have already mentioned above in the post which variant is the best. Buynow from Amazon

MSI Afterburner Setting for GTX 1080 Ti 

How to Overclock Nvidia Cards For Mining

You can overclock your card to get better hashrate, better cooling and to be more energy efficient.

Optimal overclock setting will be different for each variant of 1080 ti’s and different for each algo.

Set custom Fan Curve in MSI Afterburner for better cooling.

Below is the minimum stable overclock setting which will work on almost every variant of 1080 ti and will be stable on each algo you mining.

TDP : 80%

Core : +75

Memory : +400

Fan : Custom Fan Curve

Ideal temperature for mining is 70 °C. 

All my cards mine below 65°C   considering i live in hills, ambient temperature is much lower here.

Mining Performance of GTX 1080 Ti 

1080 Ti works great on many algo. Below is the performance of this beast for some of the algos.

Ethhash :  37 MH/s

Equihash : 700 solutions

LBRY : 500 MH/s

Lyra2REv2 : 70000 kH/s

Lyra2Z : 3200 kH/s

    Hi! First of all, great blog. Keep doing great work!

    I have question about mining ZCoin on mining hub pool. I have a lot unconfirmed Zcoins.

    For example after 24 hours mining I have something like that:

    Unconfirmed: 4.746
    Confirmed: 0.723

    I have on Bitrex wallet.

    Is this normal or i doing something wrong?

    Regards

      Someone told me to change +400 memory with -400 memory, it will further reduce power usage without loosing hashrate.Forget to update in this post, updating now

      Yah. Msi is great for cooling. But it is pricier. Also checked gamernexus review before buying zotac . Don’t know why they posted such bad review but after using them for 5 months I can say zotac is best. They stay cooler and provide more hashrate as compared to gigabyte aorus extreme.

      Increase tdp to 100% to get 70 mh.
      Yesterday I have mined 130 straks with 7 1080 ti and sold all for $0.8/each.
      For me today it will be around 80-100 straks.

      Mona and zcoin also pumped, you can mine those.

      Straks mining is risky as gap in buy and sell price is high.

      Sorry. I won’t be doing that as it is already covered by so many.

    Your guide and advice are great thank you! I am using MSI Afterburner and CCminer with (x3) ASUS 1080TI Turbo 11g. What overclock settings would you suggest for the Lyra2REv2 algo?

    I am using sniffdogminer but focusing on this algo because it looks like the best atm.

    Auto Intensity: 22
    PwrLmt: 100
    Core: 182
    MemClock: -340
    Hash Rate: 198MH/s

    Also, does anyone know how to force a benchmark on this program? It had me at 149MH/s

      My OC Settings on Lyra2rev2:

      I don’t use sniffdog miner, sometime I get coin to mine from sniffdog and mine it with my own miner and overclock settings.

    Hi.

    Zcoin mining problem.

    I have mining rigs on GTX 1080 TI and noticed that my hasrate is about 550 Mh/s, so i should mine about 25-26 zcoins per day (whattomine) but i get only 21-23. Is it okay?

    I am mining on mining pool hub.

    Anyone has similar problem?

        Hey There see if you can put all 7 of you video cards on you 9VGA ports on your 1600-watt PSU that’s should use 915 watts including motherboard and CPU. You use 60TDP, get Duel ports 8pin/8pin on all ports if you can 🙂 Thank-you for what you have done for us miners with the info/updates you have been giving us. 🙂

            Hey , No prob you deserve the appreciation!!! When the hard fork happens will my coins not be worth anything on MPH? Will they still be trade-able/exchange on MPH to another coin? Or, do I need specifically get a Zcoin wallet, and have them transferred to the Zcoin wallet? I was trying to keep it on MPH for the time being. Will mining Zcoin miner/algorithm change?
            Cheers* 🙂

          • ANUJ SAINI says

            Don’t worry all your coins are safe. No one will support old zcoin blockchain you can consider this a upgrade to zcoin like we see earlier ETH hard fork Byzantium but no new coin was formed after hard fork.
            After zcoin hard fork no new coin will be formed, you can keep your zcoin on MPH or exchanges no problem there.
            No mining or algo change but mining rewards will be decreased

    Hi I’m getting lower XZC per day than whattomine’s estimates. Based on whattomine’s estiamte I should be getting 0.156 XZC per day (at 3200 KH/S – I use a GTX 1080 Ti) but I’m only getting 0.126 XZC per day. That almost 20% difference. Is that normal?

    @disqus_8s7EThyS6P:disqus Hi, what do you think happen after hard fork ? We all expect zcoin will increase in price but with znodes introduction the miners reward decrease from 80% to 56% which is 30% decrease in reward. Do you think zcoin mining will be still profitable or it would be better for us 1080Ti owners switch to another alternative coin after hard fork. I like zcoin because its power efficiency so I would like to stick with low power algorithms in the future. Is there any other perspective alternative ?

    Also what do you think is behind this drastic reduction of mining profitability – on 13.12 you had 1.3 and 17.12. only 0.66 – this is like 50% drop and difficulty raised not that much. From 16K to 20K…

    Thanks.

    • ANUJ SAINI says

      Me also holding 200+ zcoin and I think price will increse as we see earlier when znodes was launched. I will sold some after .00400 btc and some after .00500 btc . I am hoping for at least .00500 btc .
      Mining profitability will depends on zcoin price after fork. If price increased by 40% zcoin will be profitable.
      Zcoin is not most profitable coin to mine always. Join jkcrypto miner group on telegram, currently mining ORE is profitable.

      13.12 was the lucky day when I earned 1.3 zcoin but daily average was around 1 zcoin. 0.66 on 17.12 is not whole day.
      At present daily average 0.8 zcoin

      • Misiak says

        Thx for teply. I will join jkcrypto, thx for tip. Today I’m buying 2nd 1080Ti so I hope profitability will still be there 🙂

        Do you exchange for fiat or other cryptocurency? I’m quite new here so don’t know if it is better change to bitcoint or other alt coin, what do you think? I have like 5 XZC at the moment but plan to keep them as I hope it could be like $500 one day, what do you think about this, am I too optimistic? 🙂

          Bitcoin is the King in cryprocurrency. Whole altcoin market depends on bitcoin price. If BTC price increase or decrease suddenly, altcoin market will crash in both cases considering there is no news about alts.
          Altcoin market increase when BTC stabalise.
          My advice to everyone hold 50% portfolio in BTC in 50% in Alts.

          Each month I convert 50% of mining profits to fiat.

          Zcoin is good hold right now for safe exit Strategy set stop loss at 0.00320 btc. Sell some around 0.00400 btc. I am not trading expert so risk is yours

            Yes, that’s sounds reasonable, however I think Bitcoin may not be a king forever 🙂 I think there are much better crypto currencies over there there is not just a such big hype around them. No one knows what happens… Thx for advice, think I will stick with your suggestion for now 🙂

  23. Median Rawashdeh says

    A small advice :), if you are a single card miner like myself, Get on-board with ORE with ccminer for 15$/day on 1080 Ti and add YENTEN with cpuminer for an additional 5-6$/day on an i7 😉

    Suprnova’s xzcCoin Pool: This pool will close at 12/31/2017 – please move your miners to different pools and withdraw all remaining coins, thanks.

    Does anyone know what’s behind this ?

        Thanks for explanation. But isn’t this bad? With 90% it must be super prone to 51% attack, do you know if this happened in the past with any of the cryptocurrency on the market ? That’s true on supernova there are like 4 blocks per day but at the end of month it does not matter right ? Now miningpool hub will have a total monopoly. Let’s see what happens after 23rd.

        Also here I have a question. If 30% goes to znodes, does it mean network hash rate will also drop by 30% ? Can znodes also mine or they are only for validating transactions ? This is not completely clear to me. But if so, then even if mining reward is reduced we could still earn appx. same as before hard fork. And with the higher price it could be still interesting. But maybe I’m completely wrong here 🙂

          Everything will be cleared after 23 Dec.
          Hashrate may not drop 30% as miner will mine zcoin, infact if zcoin price reaches $150+ then global hashrate will be increased .
          lets wait for 23rd

    I am thinking about building my 1080ti rig. Can you suggest the most suitable power supplies for 6 gpu and 8 gpu rig

    Reply

    • Misiak says

      If you want to mine zcoin it takes around 130W per card and appx. 100W for system so you can easily calculate – for 6gpus is (130×6)+100 = 880W so I would take at least 1000W PSU. For 8 cards at least 1300W

      Reply

      • ANUJ SAINI says

        Thanks for helping others.
        I recommend 6 gpu 2000 watt and 8 gpu 2500 watt, don’t know zcoin will be profitable in future or not. Me run all my cards at 80% tdp

        • Misiak says

          Welcome 🙂 You right, if he wants mine other currency e.g. zcash he will need twice as strong PSU – 2000W for 6 card, 2600W for 8 to benefit full from 1080Ti’s.

          Reply

          • Eclipsie says

            You want to run your cards at 80%TDP MAX, otherwise it is not energy efficient. 1080ti run at max 100% 250watts. so 80% is 200watts. So i would say 6cards would be 1200watts at 80%TDP. But I would not even go to 80%. Best Bang for buck Dollar per watt is is around 72%TDP depending on what you mine. Also, keep in mind lower power is lower Temp. I put my fans on 67% that’s 2/3 the MAX. Will have a Long life on the FANS. Don’t put your fans on 80% that’s too high for 24/7. You are shooting for long term life, be easy on your cards. Low heat is key 2/3-power, 2/3 -fan speed is very comfortable for your card. Stick with EVGA 1600 with power supply the “G2”, Titanium and Platinum are very close in their 80+pluse rating so don’t spend the extra$ for 30-50 watts more for Titanium and Platinum version. Unless that is worth it to you. You are probably using a open mining rig, so power will be lower on the whole rig. With a case you have more fans and lighting so it would use more power with a case. The EVGA psu has capacitors in the wiring so it makes it a-lot easier on the Power supply unit. EVGA 1600 watt psu also comes with a 10-year warranty. 🙂 Please don’t turn your cards up to 100%+ for your sake, not mine. IT not worth 100% on all your cards for and extra 5$ a day. Again power ratio/$ is key, just because you turn your power up all the way doesn’t mean you are making more money in the long term.We are mining not playing video games for a couple of hours. EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 G2 80+ GOLD, 1600W Fully Modular NVIDIA SLI and Crossfire Ready 10 Year Warranty Power Supply 120-G2-1600-X1 $394.53. 6x cards at 80%TDP and motherboard should be fine with a 1600watt EVGA PSU. 200×6=1200+150=1350watt total. So according to math it goes over the 80+% but it actually is a little lower. it is around 1280watt. So in my opinion it is possible to have 6 cards on a 1600watt PSU. Now if you at 60% for 7 cards that’s 7×150=1050+150watts that’s 1200watts when mining at 60%TDP. That is also possible in my opinion when mining at 60%. Depends on what you are doing with your cards. So there you go 7 cards at 60%TDP can work with 1600watt PSU.

          • Misiak says

            I agree but be aware that 250W TDP is for reference card. Aftermarkets eat slightly more power. Nevertheless, with zcoin I’m mining at 46%, resp. 50% TPD which is great. I have electric heating in the house so at least I don’t need to heat in the room with mining rig so I’m mining almost for free 🙂

    I am not a miner but I just take over a internet cafe. I get few dozens of 1080 GPU. I understand that 1080 GPU may not be the best GPU to mine but this is what I get.

    Hi,
    Thank you for very good article.
    I would like to ask you about your results at mininpoolhub, for me they are totaly off.
    I’m mining with ccminer and every one of mine 1080ti’s gets results as you shown – about 3200kH/s.
    Mininpoolhub reports about half of these results. Than I read some place else that I didn’t supposed to look into that and just wait and see what’s my result after 24h and see how much I earn. So I waited two days in a row, and my earnings are half they should be. Also I compared it to http://whattomine.com/ and https://www.crypto-coinz.net/crypto-calculator/, my results aren’t what I should get.

    How is it looks like at your MPH dashboard? do you get similar results to miner or as off as mine are?
    Any clues where to look for how to resolve my issue?

    Good job on this amazing website. Really grateful for all the help and information.

    I’m currently running 2 Asus 1080ti STRIX. Mining ORE/GOA/ZCoin.

    What OC settings would you recommend?
    My top GPU gets a lot hotter and the fan speed is a lot higher due to the fact that it doesn’t have as much space to breath like the lower GPU.

    Current settings:

    GPU1:
    Power Limit: 60%
    Core Clock: 0%
    Memory Clock: 0%
    Fan Speed: 70%
    Temperature: 70c
    5000MHz

    GPU2:
    Power Limit: 100%
    Core Clock: 100%
    Memory Clock: 400%
    Fan Speed: 49%
    Temperature: 59c

    I sold 1.108759600 Galactrum Ore that I mined yesterday (after transfer fees, etc.) with my 1080Ti for 0.001064409 BTC this afternoon. It costs me an average of $1.47/day to mine 24×7 according to my KillAWatt tool. This is day 6 below zero up here, so it’s a cheap way of keeping my office a little warmer. 😛 Yesterday morning was -24°F and a windchill factor of -48.5°F. Brrrrr!

        Hello Anuj, thanks for the blog. I have a big problem about my rig. I have 6 EVGA SC2 1080ti, EVGA 1600 P2, MSI 270a pro, g4400, 120ssd etc. When I try to connect the risers or cards by 8pin to 2x 6+2 pin splitter, the system never boots, I tried with different splitter cables but the result is sadness. By original cables from evga, 3 gpus are working but I can’t even work the 4th gpu. When I connect only the riser (I tried different risers) It opens one of the fan at max speed and windows not recognizing the gpu. I tried by other cards, all of the cards are working.I’m deeply desperate now 🙁

        Reply

        • ANUJ SAINI says

          For each Evga card you need 280 Watt. So for 6 cards 1680 Watt + 200 Watt for motherboard and risers.
          So single 1600 Watt psu is not enough, you need to buy one more psu.
          If windows not detecting your cards then open device manager>>show hidden devices >>uninstall each Nvidia under display and uninstall everything under other >> then restart the system.
          4 cards should work fine with 1600 Watt psu.
          Hope you problem get solved

          • M Can Karadağ says

            PSU is enough, I set cards power limit to 200W and TDP is not 280, 250 w. other devices use 40 w (I see it from kill a watt from wall). Now four cards are working and the system only uses 840w 290MH/s nist5, no oc. I can’t understand why the psu does not let the splitter cables to work, I tried them on another pc and they work. Anyway, how do you sell your mined BWKs? Do you wait until a few bwk and send them to cryptopia to sell? Every 1 bwk I send to cryptopia and sell, then buy doge or what is better for arbitrage between bittrex and send it, then to Turkey markets. Turkish markets are about %8 higher than bittrex 🙂

          • ANUJ SAINI says

            I wait for 30-40 BWK then send it to cryptopia, usually use DOGE for transfer. For arbitrage NEBL is favorite ( Cryptopia – Binance).
            I use binance mainly and Kucoin also good.

Do you think it is a big diffenence with the extreme version? The Zotac Extreme is not available and 200euro more expensive if it becomes available.

      Me do have 3 aorus non extreme 1080 ti and provide 5-10% less harhrate on comparing with zotac amp extreme 1080 ti. If zotac is not available and price 200 euro more then better to buy MSI, EVGA , Aorus 1080 ti, buy ASAP as no one know how many days mining will be this much profitable.
      Currently 1080 ti gives $10/day so if you wait 10 days you will be loosing $100.

            I don’t recommend to to cashout your mined coins. You will make much more money by trading in crypto as right now alt market is bullish. Mining is safe but not as profitable as trading. My advice to you cashout 50% of earning monthly.

            You have to trade zero coin for BTC then transfer BTC to Indian exchanges like zebpay,coinone,koinex.

    since im mining with single 1080 ti for nms should i change port?bcuz they said in the pool( If you have 1-2 GPUs, you should use Low Diff port)

    isit good to hold Bulwark? The price seems to drop now. Guess will be the trend in coming days. Any ideas/suggestions

    Reply

  96. jeremyofmany says

    I have a single 1080 Ti. I mined Bulwark until this site said to move to Numus. Now something else.
    It gets tiresome to manually change algo/miner/pool/wallet every 2-3 days.
    Why not just mine Equihash which pools like ahashpool and zpool say is “hot”?
    Why all the manual changing? Just an extra $1 or $2 for 3 days then onto the next? Just curious what motivates you. Cheers from Canada.

      it depends what you aim for, if you want a nice a return and love a coin stick to it. if you want convenience you have nicehash you get payed in BTC. You could do your own research and got lucky finding a coin that is minable and that has just been launch, and if extremely lucky has a great team and project behind. That is basicly a jackpot. But until then if you want to maximise profit then you have to switch coin, sell coin, hodl coin by yourself and to be honest that doesn t take a lot of effort compare to researching a investing.

      Yes its only $2-$3 extra but if you have only one card. I have 7×1080 ti so extra $20 matters.
      If you don’t have that much time for manually switching to other coins then mine any stable coin like zcoin,BWK,LUX

    NMS fell 45%, LUX fell 25%. I guess there is no future for these new coins. BWK is next inline until the difficulty level reaches 70000k.

    Market is taking a dip big time at the moment, been watching BTC at $12,000 as i type, coins have dropped a huge amount in the last couple of hours. I think if i hold my coins it will go up. What do y’all think?

    Reply

    • ANUJ SAINI says

      Right now market is risky major support zone for BTC is $10k, if support broken then expect more down. Alt will go more down and if we see uptrend in BTC then they alt will go more up.
      I always recommend everyone to have 50% BTC and 50% alts in portfolio. You can buy alt with stop loss to recover your losses

    Hello,
    I am begginer so please be patient with me. I just started to mine with my brand new 1080 Ti yesterday night and today morning market drops kind of a lot(karma? :D). But I wanted to ask – according to whattomine with 33 mh/s on Lux coin I should still have to earn like 7-9 USD per day (0,35 LUX/Day). But I am currently mining for like 12 hours and have only 0,075 LUX in my wallet (Last synch hour ago). Mining on altminer with ccminer because Spmod2 link here was unavaiable here. Can someone explain me where can be this mysterious catch? GPU mining decently but the reward for 12 hours of mining is half of what I would expect.
    Thank you

      With my 5 TI´s I got only about 1,3 LUX in 24h. Thats about 6 $/1080 Ti/day. A few days ago it was about 15 $/1080 Ti/day.
      Now it´s really lame 🙂

      • Ondřej Zelík says

        The thing which is making me nervous is that I am unable to calculate my earnings. With 33-34 mh/s I should have 0,35 LUX/day. If we put diff on 24000 than it would be 0,27 LUX/day. But in fact I would receive only 0,176 LUX/day which is 0,1 Lux less. I can´t figure out why they pay me that low. With 0,176 LUX/Day it gives me like 4,4 USD. After electricity cost it would be on 3 USD/Day. Well uff, I hope that the problem is on my side

            @disqus_negadiS2Ka:disqus That´s correct.

            @ondejzelk:disqus Just trust this site and Anuj is doing a great job. I have tried whattomine, various pools and auto switching programs, but none of this was as helpful as this site. Listening to Anuj gave me the greatest profit, so just stay here, forget whattomine.

          • Ondřej Zelík says

            Well but in this case your numbers are meeting the numbers of whattomine. I too trust more to Anuj because there is speaking experience from him. But how it is possible that with same GPU as you I have mined 1/3 less then you?

          • Coin Dings says

            How many 1080Ti´s do you have? Whattomine tells me I should be making 0.3 Lux more than I made. I tried whattomine a few times and never got as much coins or profit as they said I would.

            Are you using the miner and pool Anuj recommended?

          • Ondřej Zelík says

            Thank you for response.Finally I have made like 0,2 LUX per day and I have only 1 x 1080 Ti so I am really on the start of this mining process. I hope it will be better in time. One more question -> if I want to exchange LUX for FIAT currency than I have to send it to my LUX wallet on Cryptopia, then sell it to BTC, so I need new wallet for BTC and finally I can sell BTC for USD which will be sent to my account and transfer for local currency? Sorry about this spamming, but I really did not find a lot information about exchange of mined altcoins.
            Thanks.

            Sell LUX for BTC >> Buy Doge>> Transfer Doge to other exchange>> Sell doge for LTC>> transfer LTC to coinbase >>sell LTC for fait.

            Now Cryptopia closing LTC/DOGE market. Does it mean that I will not be able to transfer my LUX to another exchange cheaply via DOGE ?

            Trying Yiimp.eu. altmier was giving less earning for like 5 days for me. Hopefully this one is different I’ll report back in 26 hours on out come. Now Yiimp charges 2% while altminer charges s0.9%. FYI to everyone mining LUX

  113. Muth SXb says

    Hi JK, and thans for all this tips. The best coin to mine off the day depend off the curent exchange rate, If you mine every few day multiple coin, when do you exchange your coin into dollars? or did you hold the coin?

    Reply

    • ANUJ SAINI says

      Currently everything is in red so holding now. Major BTC support zone is between $7000-$9000 if that support broken then i will move out of alts to BTC. According to me alt will loose more 30%-50% if that happen. Hopping nice bounce back from current support.

      During green days I sell the mined coined whenever I am happy with price and usually don’t hold them for more than 10 days and invest in good projects.

        On good miners it maybe increases %1-2. For example on nist5, it gives up to %20 more hashrate to me. It depends on the rig also. On nist5 my rig doesn’t work always on %100 if TDP is %100, it changes 80-100, but if I open 2 miners together hashrate increases from 80 to 95 or more MH/s per card.

        Reply

      • Sean Wood says

        I’m running spmod through awesomeminer and I did find using this trick overall increased my hashrate on lux from 34-35mh/s per 1080ti to 40mh/s (each instance stabilised to 20mh/s per card) overall on 6x 1080ti I stabilised at total 240mh/s vs 220mh/s running a single instance.

        I did try this using the polytimos ccminer Alexis fork for c11 mining BHD though and the instances stabilised out at about 15mh/s each where a single would run at 31-32mh/s.

        It seems to work with some miners but not others from what I can tell.

      If you are planning to run masternodes then do your own research and invest in strong coins only.

      Take a look at BHD. Even if project won’t be successful in long term, difficulty is low now. I setup a test miner on my kids PC (GTX970) and my laptop (GTX1050) with intensity 17 so it won’t affect normal use. Kids can even play games without problems. Total hashrate around 12.5MH/s as reported by mining pool. Since yesterday I mine with yiimp and got this already:

      May not be much, around $9, but it’s more than nothing 😉

        Hi Piotr. I was always under the assumption that pool with the highest hash rate for your coin is the most profitable one. Right now, Yiimp.eu has 52 MH/s for C11, and protopool.net has 246 GH/s. Any reason you haven’t switched over to protopool?

        Reply

        • Piotr Łagoda says

          Pool with highest hash rate has lower variance, meaning you get your coins on a more regular basis. Single mining, small pool, large pool – all get you equal profits if you mine long enough.
          With pools it’s important to find one that has fair sharing algorithm, that penalizes pool hoppers.
          I don’t know how much provision is on protopool. I’ll check it in a minute.

    BHD per 1080Ti is giving +/- 2.5BHD per day! That = 2.5x(0.00033btc@$11,000) = $9.07 a day per 1080Ti.

    Still on LUX, important is to find stable pool and not shitty exchange. If the coün is not in cryptopia (less shitty) I chose to not mine it. If you want to have more risk, so dont lose time by mining; buy and sell coins. I dont recommend to use all hashing power to mine coins which are not listed on exchanges. Use %20-30 to have less risk.

    Yeah, if you haven’t noticed the trend, I did immediately and my previous posts prove it. Every coin you put on here to mine is dumped by miners reading this post, destroying your own profits.
    I check here daily to stop mining what ever coin you recommend and sell immediatly, then buy 24+hrs later when your blog causes a dump. Thanks chumps 🙂

    Reply

    • Guppysb says

      That’s a great idea Mike. Definitely don’t mine Garlicoin since he recommended it HOURS after it was released. If you really were as intelligent as you claim to be, you wouldn’t have mentioned what you did. You would reap the profits in the background, without ever hinting to anyone you were doing so, because that would in turn possibly jeopardize your gains.

      Agree… My goal is to make money, not to help other people. If they also want to make money, they have to deserve it. I found out about Garlicoin before it appeared on jkcrypto. When I saw this here, I thought fuck another opportunity lost because he never shuts his mouth…

      Hello. I had same problem as you.
      To resolve i added “–cpu-priority=1” on my ccminer command.
      After this add, windows were crashing with some BSOD because lack of memory. I upgraded my swap to 10GB.
      I didn’t lose hashrate power (550-650 Kh/s per 1080 ti) and my RIG is now stable.
      Hope this helps.

          Crypto market is bearish right now. Don’t know where Bitcoin is going. Profit for last month was around $15/day/1080 ti and now it is around $7/day/1080 ti.
          To play safe you can buy 1-2 1080 ti and start mining with them. If mining not profitable anymore then you can play video games with them of sell. Start with low number now and keep adding more gpus with time

      I always wondered that people see 7-8 ROI as bad. I run a small wholesale company for a living and would KILL for such ROI 😉 If I were brave enough (which I am not) I would extend my company credit line by $100K and buy all the mining gear I could. Credit is 12% a year here. With 8 months to break even I could just live of mining after a year…

    Hi all, I made some experiment mining Lux over the weekend and I want to share the result : I’ve been simultaneously mining Lux directly through altminer.net and mining Lux through Sniffdog letting it switch between ahashpool zpool and hashrefinery. Mining Lux directly showed far better results despite Sniffdog showing higher estimates. I don’t know exactly the reason for this, whether it is related to the pools which are not good ones or sniffdog making bad choices but as the setting was to mine LUX exclusively there should not have been such variability. whatomine LUX profitability estimates seem better to me than sniffdog estimates.

    Also I confirm that having 2 miners mining LUX directly improve return, I believe it is a matter of percentage of GPU utilisation : with 2 miners I have a constant 100% utilisation rate showed in MSI afterburner. Probably when one miner pause to upload result and download further work, the other miner increase it’s hashrate to compensate.

    I took a look at RACE coin and it looks like copy / paste scam. It’s just my opinion, but I wouldn’t waste a GPU cycle on this one. Market is low now and our mining profits converted to FIAT sees to decrease rapidly. But just look at 24h difficulty compared to 7d difficulty. I just hope more ppl decide it’s time to end mining… so I could mine more and cash out when (not if, but when) market bouces back.

      that, or buy some btc, let it rebound over 10k/usd, then sell back into the market so you have liquidity to re-invest into other cryptocurrencies.

      anyway, we’ll see, considering the bad news btc has been receiving lately, it’s hard pressed to get much worse without some sort of market correction before another drop, so, now is the time to buy.

    understanding volatility.

    yesterday someone could have bought btc at >8k, and today, sold at <9k+ and made over 10% profits, in a single day, more than most high-risk, small-cap mutual funds make in a year… put that into perspective. regardless of your mining ability, use those coins to progressively make small trades to make more small trades. rinse, repeat. if you can follow the news/trends, you can generally/easily stay on top of the trading hype/hysteria.

    These days if you can make $5 / day on a 1080 Ti you are doing REALLY GOOD! My averages have been closer to $3.5 / day. Then yesterday the mining pool I am with, suddenly got very profitable. I noticed we were hitting some X17 coin that I rarely saw us hit, and each time I was making 4 figure satoshis. I knew something was up, as our pool usually hosts between 6500 – 7500 miners, and suddenly the pool was hosting over 13000 miners. Tells me another pool must have gone down, and everyone was switching pools during the outage. During the Run I was back to averaging $8/day per 1080 Ti, but it only lasted for about 10 hours, now my earnings are back to where they were before. I know its not nice to say, but god it would be great if Nicehash would go down again, those were peak earning days $14 / day per 1080 Ti.
