RE: Report: Building a GPU Mining Rig in 2017 (part 2) - ETH, ETC, DCR and more incoming!
Nice job on the build, glad to see you getting more into mining!

Yeah, it's kind of a strange hobby. Always tweaking and looking for better methods get a few extra hashes, a few less Watts, a better cooling etc. But I love it. Guess my neigbors are getting suspicious soon and wonder what makes that loud humming noise in the basement and why I am always checking in down there.
I plan to just tell them I got a server running down there for work or something. lol
What are you mining right now? Any interesting, not so famous ones?
Zcoin mostly because of the really low power usage on Nvidia and ETH/DCR on AMD cards. I am just adding a bit more to the Decred to my POS machine so I can stake on my own without the energy needed to mine it on a GPU. Setting up pos for Decred is a real pain in the you know what but worthwhile if you consider the rising energy costs to mine it now. I also sometimes spot mine orbitcoin because its a cool project that has been around for so long and its a pos coin as well.
Thanks for the info! Will take a look at orbitcoin when I find the time.
Yeah, I only poolmine my DCR holdings, our internet connection isn't the most stable either, so no masternode etc. for me.
I just switched to ETC and SIA with my miner. Took ages to finally find the right settings to mine it without the GPUs overheating too much.
Already planning my new Rig.
I was wondering, do you know if there are any drawbacks of using two PSU instead of just one more powerful one?
Should not be a problem, I have done it just make sure you use something like this https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-24-Pin-Mining-Adapter-AC-005-CNONAN-P1/dp/B00O0M6Q0C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1495768730&sr=8-2&keywords=dual+psu+adapter
