I've been a little bit too busy lately to keep the mining project updates weekly, but here's a short update after this summer "hiatus"!

I've got a couple of new rigs now running both AMD and Nvidia cards, 8x 1070s and 8x RX 580s. I've recently started using Mining Pool Hub (https://miningpoolhub.com/) as well, since it is SO easy to have the miner software automatically switch between the currently most profitable coins.

New GTX 1070 rig:

I'm only mining Ethereum type coins at the moment, but it is jumping very well between mining Musicoin, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic.

There's also an excellent auto-exchange function which I am currently using to convert anything OTHER THAN Ethereum, into Monero.

My current total hashrate for Ethereum right now is around 825 MH/s, and I hope to be able to set up another rig before Christmas, in order to bump that up to the 1 GH milestone.

I am aware that there are changes coming to Ethereum in September, which will reduce the number of coins released per block from 5 to 3, while also reducing difficulty back to around 15 seconds, to pause the exponential increase in difficulty triggered by the "Ice Age" code, put in place before the 2017 deadline for Ethereum Proof of Stake was pushed back by a year. Ethereum PoS will not happen until late 2018 now.

ICOs are still booming, and I just wanted to point in the direction of my favorite Crypto "expert" https://steemit.com/@tommyworldpower - check out his videos and posts, join the Slack community and get with the program! Earn some cash, do some long-term investments, and get more info on current and upcoming ICOs. Learn to stay away from the 90% or so of ICOs and coins that are known as "shitcoins" or scams.

No lambos in sight for me yet, but let's see what happens in a couple of years...
