Winter is coming - heat homes with GPU miners and make money as a side effect
Every winter when people sit in their homes feeling cold im walking like on the beach..
Why? Because while all summer im not really mining (other than asics in special spots outside of my home) then when winter comes i heat my home with this machines and make money in the same time.
Winter to me since i have started mining is as hot as summer for others and just today i have re-enabled my 5 card miner. I used to have a lot more of those but profitability went a bit low vs electricity cost and i have sold most of my miners and their parts.
Currently GPU cards are cheap and its really worth making at least 5x GPU miner for the winter. If people will be interested in guide on making one, i may put it other time - this time i will show you how to get into mining as easily as possible without much knowledge of miner configuration. You can use this tricks even on your normal gaming computer.
Minergate - Multi Mining Pool with 1 Click Installer
This is one of the easiest systems to mine coins anywhere you at. They allow 1 click miner for windows/osx and even web mining (you open website, and mine from browser anywhere that you are at). They choose coins from a pool of profitable for CPU and GPU ones and usually go for ETC, ETH and XMR. Register here
NiceHash - Hash Rental Service
This guys give you Windows GUI miner, you put there you BTC address, mine most profitable coins, sell hash power for them on their market and get Bitcoins. Often when there is hype for coins people pay more for hashing power there, than the coins are worth and you can get more BTCs than usual. Register here
It also works other way - if you want to get a lot of cheap hashing power for launch of something - this is the place to go.

GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0x2b616914ada8484ab9d70398dbe86b029b1a9a39 -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:2252 -dwal kc00.1 -dpsw x -wd 1

Great post! I'm for Claymore's miner :D
Though I'm not selling the coins.
yea minergate is cool.
what you mine?
this tools make you mine most profitable stuff automatically but usually i mine XMR, ETC, ETH, DCR and im preparing for Zcash
Good work....I also use MinerGate...Kindly go ahead and write up about building that rig and maybe also the costs of the parts. Thanks..upvoted and followed
Love it I'm mining on old GPU waiting on an upgrade soon. I found https://zec.suprnova.cc has the ZCash mining pool up works great so far.
