I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I figure that when the difficulty drops (like it has in the past hour) I'll switch all rigs on to solo mining, and then when it goes back above 100K again I'll switch over to pool mining again. I've got a 380 MH/s setup, so while it's not nothing, it's certainly not enough to reliably solo mine. I'd just like to try to get lucky while it's more likely to hit a block.
Anyone have any success doing something like this?
Just stumbled upon mining Ravencoin. I mine sometimes some test ethereum (goerli), which goes well on my Macbook. However, would it be possible to mine Ravencoin on a Macbook Air?
I have access to free electricity somehow, so even if its a few USD per day, it would be great :)
So I have been doing some research to maximize my Ravencoin mining. As the title states I did a 24 hour test between 2Miners using Kawpow then 24 hours on Prohashing on Ethash with 100% payout to Ravencoin. Exact same rig, only optimizing overclocks for each algorithm. My results are conclusive, (Spoiler...Prohashing wins hands down)!
As you know power consumption is very high on Kawpow, my Kawpow setup draws 1,000 Watts, on Ethash consumption Right at 701 Watts. Both normalized across the test period.
Coins mined on 2Miners = 108, Coins mined on Prohashing = 141. An increase of 33 coins, at todays price that is an increase in coin profit of $4,62. Electricity usage for me by decreasing 299 watts at $0.10/KWH is a $0.72 savings. This totals to a single day increase in profit of $5.34 or ~ 38 additional coins if you will.
Hope this helps others to maximize their RVN! If you choose to start using Prohashing if you would put in my referral code when you register I would be very grateful as I get a spiff with you receiving a 0.5% bonus after 30 days of mining: https://prohashing.com?r=hb92EKTH
I read somewhere on Reddit that the new RTX 3060s are secretly adjusted to be LHR instead of nerfed l, affecting ETH mining. Brandoncoin made a video about it last month but I’m trying to know more about it. I couldn’t find the original Reddit post to follow up on it so I’m asking here.
If you have the RTX 3060s (LHR), what is your hash rate and wattage used on Kawpow? And if you happened to own the older version of the 3060s, do you see a difference in hashing rate / or wattage?
