My mining pool
I recently finished my mining pool and decided to talk to you about it.
I started to mine monero last year with only one video card for a few hours a day and I saw that the profit was quite profitable even if my pc didn't stay access day and night.
So with a friend of mine I decided to spend some money and we started with mining.
Components:
Motherboard: ASUS B250 MINING EXPERT Intel B250 LGA1151
CPU: Intel Celeron G3930 Kaby Lake, Dual Core
Ram: 4GB Crucial DDR4
Power supply: Cougar CMX 1000W semi-modular
Video Card:
- 2x RX 580 4GB Sapphire Nitro+ with Samsung memory;
- 1x Rx 580 4GB Sapphire Nitro+ with Hynix memory.![IMG_20190922_152927.jpg]
As a base I used an old case that I made changes to.
The operating system I'm using is windows 10, and I use xmrstak as miner and nanopool as a pool.
This is the current result:
Furthermore, my friend and I have two AMD fx-8350s which in all are 200 h/s each.
Let me know your impressions and your mining configurations.
Hi, thanks for this interesting article! I have a question: when you added more video cards, did your profits, after electricity costs, go up or down? I've heard some people say that mining Monero with video cards is less profitable, and other people say that it's more profitable. What's your experience?
Hi, currently consumption roughly 500 w. At the end of the day, for me there is always a gain, since I pay little for current. Then as an initial investment I invested very little.
Wow, 500W isn't bad at all for 3 video cards. And it helps a lot if you don't pay too much for electricity. Maybe I'll think about pointing one of my rigs at Monero, too. Thanks for your answer.
