I have a complete set of desktop sitting on my desk collecting dust ( without dedicated graphic card ), should I spend like 1K for a graphic card and turn it into mining machine ?

what gpu you are having bro? zcash is good with nvidia card.

1) setup your zcash wallet (im using jaxx)
2) download your miner (you can use ewbf or nheqminer, i used ewbf, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1707546.0 )
3) select your pool (nanopool, flypool and etc, im using flypool)
4) config your miner.bat file (do some adjustment like intensity, your zcash address etc, you can read from the help.txt file )
5) ???
6) profit  tongue.gif
*
What's the frequency of zcash payout ? Hourly/Daily ?
On zcash website, it stated 'Because of performance issues with the Zcash client we are unable to send payout transactions to z addresses! Therefore DO NOT use z addresses to mine on the pool.'

I don't mind getting RM70 a day actually since can get RM2.8k a month. That's better than many fresh grad salary man.

It's much better than many investment also cool2.gif

I am not getting RM70 a day. Try RM11 to RM12 for me haha since I am only mining with my one 1060 6gb. But for 70 a day and RM800 for electricity a month still can get 2k income. Not bad already to me.

24/7 mining your electricity bill shoot to RM800 ? shocking.gif

I am giving a estimate. I am not sure how many GC would be required to get RM70 a day so i based it on running 6 GPUs 24/7. Obviously my rig is not pulling 800 a week lol. I don't expect my bill to be higher than 150 to be honest including the normal appliance usage at home.
*
I C.
I tested mine yesterday using 1070, estimation was 3.67USD/day, so around RM450 per month.
My home electricity bill already near RM300 ( air cond, computers/laptops etc sweat.gif ), so if with mining 24/7 the bill below RM500 then I'll let it run.

I think the TS has already achieved his purpose of instilling awareness of cloud mining investment to many people here already.
His work is done. biggrin.gif

I just start testing yesterday. Probably need one month test run to see how much I earn ( minus increased electricity bill ).

Why not, I dont OC my card, casing not overheat. I think it's just a little worse than those in cybercafe.
If normal usage the card can tahan few years, mining should able to survive 1 year rolleyes.gif before we upgrade whistling.gif

Holy Cow, that is alot of hashing power there!

On a side note, due to the lack of graphic cards on the market. How can we build new rigs for mining purpose? Would like to try to build 1 (eta cost 3-5k?) to try out this interesting mining works.

Might able to get as whole rig, some shop sell whole mining rig, but not willing to sell individual parts.

Basically all the GTX1060, GTX1070, PSU, even BTC motherboard are either cleaned up or price marked up like hell.
Those who are late to the party or have no idea how mining works will always complain that it aint profitable due to the difficulty increase bla bla bla.

There are always other crypto to mine, if ETH is unprofitable .

Heck, if following their logic, ETH was not profitable at all because the prices were around 10-20usd back then, can barely cover electricity costs, then nobody will mine.

If you dont have the guts to mine, then dont bother. Been mining since 2013 and its the best thing that happened in my life.

Non stop since 2013 ? thumbup.gif

U still can mine with 3gb.
ETH DAG only be near 3gb in summer 2018. So u have sufficient time to recoup your investment.

Huh, months ago I read was said it will be over 3GB size before end of this year, so it slow down is it biggrin.gif

with your spec at siggy?

I guess didnt matter spec, as your graphic card will near 100% load during mining. I can watch youtube or movie, but laggy every few seconds.

Try RexTech, I PM them over FB, they replied got P106 @ RM1350, but I didnt ask brand, but likely will be Zotac as I heard Asus's not coming to Msia.

On the same note, seems hard to find the AMD ones.

I PMed you. AMD themselves are having more trouble keep up demand, I think even before mining craze goes out of hand.

I thought nicehash only cashout bitcoin to me after I mined certain amount, I only test run for 3days+ so only got about 10+ USD worth.
Today out of curiosity check my wallet, got transaction !
They did charge some amount of 'mining fee', anyone can enlighten me how much they charge for the mining fee or transaction fee ? By percentage or fixed amount ?

drop another 50% income will back to the bad old days. with current price, it is still double the money compared to the lowest i have seen in eth mining. i tried to warn peeps on the risk, the boom is just too crazy... lots of mining supporter bash me for being noob or stupid or typical new comer for mining aka mine today sell today bla  bla bla.... anyway, investment has risk and this is the risk im trying hard to warn new comers. never tot you went with all 6 gpus in the end haha. well who knows it willl happen after aug? maybe surge in price and make big money again or mining become less profitable or even less than electricity bill hence have to shut down mining rigs?

If they earn back initial h/w investment already, then can talk big la. Heard friend of colleague spend near RM20K for 6 x 1060 ming rig doh.gif ( I think ridiculous price due to graphic card shortage ), see how many months to ROI whistling.gif

between a GTX1060 and RX570 which would be a better candidate for mining ? unsure.gif

I remember when doing research on these, RX570 more processing power but consume much higher power, also super limited stock, hence many get 1060 6GB.
