Anyone with little children knows the hassle of trying to keep kids out of the cupboards! Our little ones have all gone through stages where they just want to be near us – and that means underfoot, even when we’re in the kitchen preparing supper. As kids get more mobile, they start pulling open cabinets and exploring. Some of our cabinets don’t hold anything dangerous, but it’s still a hassle to reload all of the plastic container lids back into the drawer every time we prep a meal! We need some cabinet locks to keep children safe and out of … Continue reading Best Child Proof Cabinet Locks
About 10 days ago I started mining ZenCash. I first setup and used the MiningSpeed Zencash Pool, and my 2 GTX 1060 GPUs were mining about 600 Sols/s. Over 7 days, I averaged around 0.09 ZenCash after all miner and pool fees. 2 days ago I switched to try out the SuprNova ZenCash pool – so far I’ve earned 0.12 ZenCash per day using the SuprNova pool – that’s a difference of 0.03 Zencash per day on a 2 GPU rig! If you have a larger rig, you need to test different pools to make sure you are getting the … Continue reading Best ZenCash Mining Pool – for my small 1060 GPU mining rig

Looking for GTX 1070 ti hashrates? Check out our mining GPU comparison chart of 1070 ti hashrates and cost here The NVidia 1070 Ti GPU is the newest edition to NVidia’s high end gaming graphic cards.

As we all know, the crypto world changes quickly! Back a few months, we did a round up of the 5 best power supplies for mining (see it here).

One of those alternative power supplies that has come to light is the use of server PSUs. Since they are not in fancy looking cases, and aren’t targeted to the end user, they don’t look at all the same, and actually, they have completely … Continue reading Best Power Supply For Mining

I want to mine ZenCash, and with my GTX 1060 6GB cards I’m currently getting about 255 sols/s using my optimized Ethereum or Ethash settings that I outlined here With those settings, I am getting about 508 Sol/s to 510 Sol/s and consuming about 171 watts. According to the ZCash GTX 1060 6GB hashrates for my specific EVGA GTX 1060 6GB SSC card, others were seeing up to 350 Sol/s for each card – so there’s definitely room for improvement! Overclock Settings GPU 1 Hashrate (Sol/s) GPU 2 Hashrate (Sol/s) Total mining rig power draw (including motherboard/power supply etc) Stock, … Continue reading GTX 1060 Mining Speed Hash Rate Tweaks and Adjustments for Equihash Mining Zcash or ZenCoin
