I just downloaded some binaries for OSX 64. I believe, I've started mining as per the Drcrd terminal running and noting high CPU usage as well as blocks processed. Not sure what to do next. Also, would like to know how to mine coins using a pair of OC'd GTX 1080's once they are available. Thoughts? Information? What should I do now? submitted by /u/Rand0mUsr [link] [comments] Continue reading...
Difficulty is already too high to mine with CPU. GTX 1080 shall be a good choice, please see sources of info / how-tos below
Difficulty was too high to mine with a CPU on the first day of the testnet release. The days of CPU cryptocoin mining are long gone and never coming back.
1080 is going to be stupid expensive to start with. I don't know if the hash per dollar economics will support it, especially if the 980s get a price drop. Most of the time you'll get a better hash per dollar rate with two previous gen cards rather a single bleeding edge current gen. I'd wait at least until some of the OEMs starting pushing out cards that will be cheaper.
