2Miners Crypto Mining Blog

GTX 1060 3GB simply stopped mining ETC and will soon be done with Ethereum. Let’s see what happened and what you can mine instead.

Since the first publication of this article in December 2018, a lot has changed. FIRO got a rebranding and is now called FIRO. It is no longer mined on processors (CPU) and the algorithm has changed twice. It was previously Lyra2z then MTP.

The end of the year is a very busy time for 2Miners. We are working on 2 new mining algorithms: CryptoNightV8 for Monero and MTP for ZCoin. In November we’ve added Personal Luck value for all the Solo mining pools. The Night Mode is now available at 2Miners website to help miners view the statistics better. This month we’ve also reconfigured our Ethereum nodes which let us reduce the Uncle rate twice.

We’ve added an essential feature for all SOLO miners – Personal Luck value.

Sometimes the reward for the found block can be lower than usual or there may be no reward at all. Are you interested in finding out why that happens? Then keep on reading, but make sure to read this article first.

Happy Halloween! While you are busy trick-or-treating we are revising all-new 2Miners things of October. Email notifications are finally working. Telegram monitoring bot @Pool2MinersBot has new features. BTG, ANON, ZEN, ZCL, BTCP, HUSH, MOAC minimum payouts were increased. ZCash was updated to Sapling protocol. Equihash 144.5 mining software was updated.

In September we’ve done a lot of work on improving the performance of our pool nodes for multiple coins including Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Bitcoin Gold, Metaverse (ETP) and other. New servers were placed around the World. We’ve started Anonymous Bitcoin (ANON) PPLNS and SOLO mining pools. New Telegram monitoring bot @Pool2MinersBot is now available.

ANON is a new ambitious project that was created to provide a new level of user privacy. The coin is only two weeks old, but the profitability of its masternodes is already quite surprising and it didn’t turn out to be a scam. So let’s see how to mine ANON using GPUs.

Last week Nvidia announced three new GPU models. GeForce RTX 20 Series is based on the Turing microarchitecture and features real-time ray tracing. With the release due in only three weeks and the price starting at $600, you may want to consider mining on graphics cards of the previous generation. Let’s see which coins are best to mine.
