OC3D Crypto-currency Mining Pool?

On middlecoin, I only seem to be getting around 0.005BTC per day? Is this a normal value as it seems very low. I'm getting about 800KH/s and running on I-19 makes this almost not worth bothering as my power is aprox. £1.27 and the 0.005BTC is only worth around £2.75. It's looking like DOGE is better profitability for me ATM.

I will give it 1 more day and if my rates haven't picked up I will be switching to DOGE again.

EDIT: Just seen this on coinwarz.com and it is really helpful to find the current best profitability coin on the market. Looks like for me its Klondikecoin getting about 0.012 BTC/day which is twice as good as I have been getting on DOGE and Middle.

I think i'll stick to middlecoin too. Not taking this overly seriously, as i'm running on nvidia but yeah middlecoin is just the easiest for me without having to keep up with changing exchange rates. Takes about 3 days to get a payout, but there we go. Maybe the maxwell architecture will bring new things.
 
It'll mine the most profitable currency and then convert it for you.
You can look at your own stats page for your bitcoin address.
Its a bit slow to update sometimes...but at least gives you half a clue
 
I'm guessing the mining pool never went again then...

If it's ever something that will be done in the future, I'll put my 11MH/s into the pan (scrypt).

Slight correction: They're not an exchange, they were a Bitcoin Bank (handling only Bitcoins).

User balances will be repaid in full, what was stolen was the hot-wallet, not the cold wallet, which did contain a large amount of funds, but not all by far.

Another unfortunate security failure, but nothing serious.

I went ahead with my Nivida miner buildlog btw. it's mining at this very moment with 260kh/s without any overclocks with only 1 GTX 750Ti.

I can't wait to see what kind of perf/watt numbers that rig will pump out!

If I understood it correctly, the 750Ti with a locked bios can only consume up to 30 Watts, this means that I consume ~30W with the GPU and maybe 20-30 more with the CPU (which is a Haswell in Idle). Don't know how much the RAM pulls, don't really care it's only in there so that it's there at all, but it shouldn't be too much, it's running @1333mhz I think at 1.5V so yeah.

Per GPU another 40-50W should be added so when I'm finalizing my overclocks to achieve ~300kh/s I'm looking at <200W overall system power with 3 GPUs @ 900kh/s scrypt total.
Basically that's <222W per 1mh/s, which is damn impressive in my opinion.

Looks like the arse fell out of Helix Coin. Barely worth 2 DOGE yet I can mine DOGE at 5/6 times the rate

Yeah, true. New coins can die pretty quickly. Unfortunately it's not forseeable if the coin will collapse or explode, so it's better to assume it'll collapse, but hold the door open for the possibility that it'll explode. (Just think Auroracoin, at the moment it's unmineable due to a bug in the difficulty retargeting system, but it went from nowhere to 3rd largest market cap within a month)

Well given my limited experience and hardware it's nothing but a hobby/interest.
I can't see me reaching a point with any coin where it's "profitable" for me to mine (I'm at an estimated unexchanged balance of a whopping 0.00009385 BTC on middlecoin to go with my 0.00018018 on Cryptorush for trading 10HXC a few days ago lol)

well for 800kH/s at like 280w TDP just for the GPU's so factor in the idle of like 80w on the 8320 and the rest of my rig comes to like 400w while mining so only gives like 500w for 1mH/s, around double yours :(. Really wish I had the money but I just dont :(.

Should be getting a 290 after I sell of my 7870 and 270 on here or on ebay. Hopefully get about £200-£240 for the both and then use the mining money I have to pay for the other £100 and then will put it underwater when I have the money.

EDIT: Looks like Auroracoin is back online! I'm not sure if I should mine it as it looks like I would only be getting $3.50 per day and just $1.25 profit a day?!

Not sure if anyone has seen but doge is going to be directly traded into USD on coinmkt.

As far as i know this is a new thing, at least in terms of being able to directly trade it
Anyone thinking this is going to dramatically boost the price?

I've got about 11 thousand (not really that much i know)

Just wondering what people think?
 
Is this thread kind of like a crypto-currency discussion thread? Couldn't find any specific area or many other threads so I'll post here, apologies if this is not the appropriate place.

I am fairly new to this whole mining thing but one thing i have noticed is people keep throwing around this kH/s number as though it is a blanket indicator to compare all setups. Is this number stable for a specific algorithm? I have noted it is definitely not for different algorithms.
In my dabbling with just 2 coins one scrypt and one keccak (SHA-3) the AMD vs nVidia arguement also changes. cudaminer seems to be very optimised for scrypt which brings its performance/watt very close to AMD's especially for Maxwell (Likely better). The same cannot be said for keccak. For example my R9 270 pulls 425kH/s on scrypt and 220mH/s on keccak while my GTX 670 pulls 330kH/s on scrypt and 80mH/s on keccak. Given similar TDPs for both 150W vs 170W, if we simplify them to being equal and approximate the performance gains keeping in mind it will favour AMD a little, we get ~30% increase for scrypt and ~175% increase for keccak.
Mind you for keccak I am also underclocking the memory to 900MHz from 1400 and lowered the power limit to -15% (which from my understanding is similar to undervolting). So there may be some more performance to be squeezed out but i have tried pretty much all settings I can find documentation on.

I suppose the tl:dr of what I am asking is if you were running a nVidia rig would it be better to stay with scrypt currencies since that seems like where cudaminer is most optimised for. And a side expansion of that, is the often linked litecoin mining hardware comparison grossly out of date? As that shows AMD $200 cards like the R9 270 being 4x faster than a more expensive GTX 760.
I would try mining litecoin for funs to verify the similarities of hashrate given a algorithm but I am still finishing my 1 day run on another coin.
 
Have to say that I'm given up on this now to be honest. It was slightly profitable and good fun for a while but I think GPU mining will all but be gone in a few months.

Profits are getting harder to come by (and not worth the effort IMO) plus with ASIC miners for SCRYPT only a few months away I don't see the point in investing in new kit.

scrypt ASICs are here already, mate...

To the other guy: the mh/s / kh/s rates are stable within the current algorithm but not comparable between them.
My 750Tis do 300kh/s scrypt each and around 200mh/s keccak.

Exactly this.

I've also given up after making a total £44 income and £20 profit... Too much effort for the return in my opinion (i was only running a single card)
 
Coinex was hacked!!!! i lost all my coins. wtf is happening lately, loads of crypto exchanges are getting robbed???!?!?

It's actually really difficult to secure a server in these modern times. Webservers are so complicated that exploitable bugs exist in so many different areas.

They should've used a cold wallet and moved only small amounts to a live server for transactions each day. It's the only way to keep things safe.

Sorry for your loses Rambo :(
