Hi all,

been a silent reader for the past months. learn so much from this thread so tqsm for sharing.

been mining with 12 gtx1060 6gb for a while now, hash averaging at about 260, max 270. mixed samsung & hynix. currently still dual mining ether & sia.

anyone here with the same spec as me? (nvidia based), still on eth or already migrating to others like zcash.

would love to hear some opinion on this.

all gtx1060 are nvidia. He is asking what brand

for mining, most important part is the memory. samsung based memory perform best, followed by micron and lastly hynix (true for nvidia card only, amd user please dont bash me), this is based on my experience.

so if u can get a card, regardless of brand, which use samsung memory. you are in luck. most gtx1060 still available on the Malaysia market today are one with hynix, samsung memory all kena rembat already

im using GPU-Z software to check the memory manufacturer

For Hynix card, if you are mining ETH, try reducing memory clock. i reduced mine to -150, and got 5% increase in MHs in all 6 cards in one of my rig. i also reduced the power to 65%, no impact on performance whatsoever.

This is, however, applies only to hynix card, i tried on my samsung card and got shitty performance.

I read on other forum, it got to do with hynix based memory timing (which i dont know what)

If in Kuantan, you can try Mass IT, located near Berjaya Megamall. But mind u the price is a bit higher compared to other rig builder in KL. You need to walk in to ask anything regarding mining rig, they wont answer it on pm.

Everyones here are silent. is it because of the china ico ban causing major dip? from 320 down to 220 and today its around 250 for ETH. Wow.

yea, a day before yesterday was a good time to buy. too bad i dont have any money.
buy on that day, sell it today. if buy 2 bitcoin, untung almost rm10k already when sell it today.

rm10k profit within 2 days. gila

hey guys. just wondering. for amd miner, what are you planning on after eth metropolis update? the difficulty bomb and such.

for nvidia, i think most will change to zcash. but for AMD, i think monero maybe?

or are you planning on sticking with eth even after the update.

it depends actually. if you want to buy and HODL, let say u got rm10k to spend

RM10k can get you around 9 eth, you hold for a year, price rise from 300usd to 400usd, u sell it all, you get around 100usd per coin. (Let say)

RM10K can get you 6 gtx1060 6gb mining rig, with the current difficulty, you can get around 0.6eth per month, in a year, you will get around 7eth, 1eth = 400usd, so total is around 2800usd
BUT,
u need to minus around rm100+ for electrity each month
difficulty will kept on increasing each day so u cannot accurately predict your profitibility, just like i did here
metropolis started already, mining will get harder for sure, BUT eth price will increase (?)
if mining rig, you can sell it back and get 60-70% of your rig price

either way, so many variables. so to answer your questeion, no one can accurately calculate which one are better. 3 months ago ROI is around 3-4 months, now its about 10months, next month, who knows.

I checked nanopool early this morning to see changes after the fork yesterday ( ETH ).
based on nanopool calculator, my monthly earnings is 400.009 usd, compared to few days ago which was around 300 usd.
