**Hello Stemians!** I am one of those people who regret that a few years ago they were not interested in cryptocurrencies. I’ve decided to try mining on my own and this is what I’m currently doing!  **MinerGate – an unpleasant adventure** Lets start with my mining/gaming rig: Ryzen 5 1600 OC 3,8GHz Palit GTX 1060 JetStream 6GB Mem OC +550MHz (still testing, prob I will get more) Power consumption – up to 300Watt(!) I’ve been mining Monero using Minergate for couple of days (11 days since accout was created), I’ve manager to get average of 700H/s (200H/s CPU and 500 H/s GPU). Currently I have ~0.0007 BTC and I’m done, I was told that MinerGate cheats on hash power. I had to make decision, mine for next few weeks and get minimum amount of 0.12 XMR (payoutable 0.1 + 0.02 fee) or move forward andsacrifice my 0.035 XMR. As you may already know or not I’ve choose gate numer 2 – MinerGate team take it as a gift and buy something nice for yourself…  **NiceHash - hope for a better tomorrow** Since I’ve started writing this post I made some changes/improvements due to conversation with theromanpolan on Wykop.pl (polish equivalent of reddit). Without further detail we have lowered power consumption to 160-170 Watt and increased speed with additional 5 MH/s, estimated income 0.0001 BTC/day with much less power consumption comparing to MinerGate. theromanpolan you are a star! ONE MORE THING - I have resigned of using CPU, from now I'm mining only on GPU. **END?!** This is probably all what I wanted to share with you at this point. The data I presented should be reasonably accurate because I followed my entries on Wykop.pl where I shared them. In a few days I will write another post and tell you how it goes. I will probably invest it all into Steem Power or it will stay on my wallet and wait for BTC hitting 1m$ :P  Don't be afraid of asking questions, I will do my best to answer them the best I can :P Hmm, you may be asking for my GPU settings, soooooo  If you have reached the end and you like my entry, do not be afraid, and hit that upvote button!
