Well, looks like I am going to change several things on my crypto mining processes.
First off, I have sold off or eliminated all Minergate Android apps running. Next I am only running Minergate to utilize extra processor on a few machines. They are severely miscalculating hash rates, and appear to be leaching off of their miners systems. My point is, I ran 7 PCs and an average of 6 Android devices on Minergate and was making about .04 Monero a day.
That's pretty crappy!
Nicehash appeared initially to be worth it, but when running further tests it just does not cut it. On a machine with an 8GB xfx 390x it was only generating ~$2.41 worth of bitcoin a day when bitcoin was up high (and it is climbing back now). I thought Nicehash would be my go to backup but it is also disappointing.
My final analysis is that my best output so far has been Ethermine.org running Genoils miner, OR running Claymore's tool for DBIX (Dubaicoin) against dbix.pool.sexy pool. I may also run Monero console against Dwarfpool or a smaller pool (not minergate!).
All said, I still cranked out right at $300 in coins in 30 days, so not bad, but not what I should be getting either!
Hope this helps you make smart decisions.
Who am I?
BORIS!
