If you are looking for something new to check for mining with GPUs, then you might want to give LBRY a go as it looks interesting and promising crypto project with a good idea. It is a new decentralized content-sharing platform based on a blockchain that is targeting content creators such as filmmakers, musicians, software developers and everyone else that produces various kinds of digital content. The idea is to offer the content makers full control over their own work with no ads, no censorship, and at no cost. LBRY should also be beneficial to the normal users as they will be getting an alternative to big content distributors offering them an alternative way to acquire digital content.
LBRY is still being developed and is currently in beta stage of development and just recently launched a working solution for content developers to try and share their own content on the network. The nice thing with the LBRY network is that apart from actually offering some valuable service to users it also has its own crypto currency token - LBRY Credits (LBC). There are already mining pools available for LBC as well as open markets for trading the crypto token on some of the popular crypto exchanges. A project with a bright future is the developers manage to deliver on their promises, so definitely worth checking it out.

This is the official video explaining the idea of the project in just 100 seconds, so you might want to watch it if you are still having trouble getting what is the general idea of the LBRY project.
There are multiple ways for obtaining LBRY Credits (LBC) and mining is just one of them. You can also purchase LBC from Bittrex or Poloniex. At the moment the exchange rate of a single LBC coin is roughly about 0.00042500 BTC.
You can get paid in LBC to host content, do note however that hosting requires the LBRY app, which is currently open to beta testers only and not available yet for all platforms. While the LBRY app is running, it communicates to the network what content you're making available and if somebody downloads content from you, you will get paid in LBRY credits (LBC) for that. Essentially you host what you download and you get paid for sharing it on the network.
You can also get paid in LBC for publishing content that you create if you are a content maker. When you publish your own content to the LBRY network, you can either distribute it for free or set a price in LBC that people need to pay to get your content. Of course you would need to actually sell something in order to earn some LBRY credits in return.
Library Credits (LBC) are mined over a 20-year Proof of Work (PoW) period and can be CPU or GPU mined, though with GPU mining available CPU mining does not seem very attractive option. The interesting thing about LBC mining is that currently the block rewards increase every 100 blocks by 1 LBC coin, the peak will be at 500 LBC block reward after which it will start to decline slowly. The current block height is at 27529 and the block reward of LBC has reached 226 coins per block and will continue growing and the total network hashrate is at about 1,821,946 MHS.
