Title: GPU for MMC mining?
Post by: ManeBjorn on February 01, 2014, 08:19:26 pm

HI,
I know this is a moot point for now but I am doing my homework. 
What is a good but inexpensive GPU for mining MMC?  Is it basically the same as for scrypt mining?
I can't afford one right now as I am broke and disabled but hopefully I can save to get a good one.
Thanks for the input.

Well, right now it is a better idea to mine an alt coin like doge with a GPU, convert to BTC and then buy MMC on bter.com. If you had a R9 270x you would mine around 12 MMC a day, but could earn enough BTC mining an scrypt coin (like Doge or Kitteh) to buy 21 MMC.  A 280x would mine 25 MMC a day, or buy 33 MMC from scrypt mining.

Yes!

Mine a mixing pool like middlecoin.com for GPU.

Buy MMC!

Boycott cryptsy.com

But honestly, if you have time to look, try to get an older model on sale to test out.  I like ones with exposed coils instead of pulling air through a case - less noisy.

Excellent advice thanks!
Right now I have my R7 250 mining Doge I have not spent any of it yet.  I will buy MMC with it.  :)
