Quoted from jwilson:You could try mining Monero with that single 1080. It's designed to work best on CPU and GPU boxes due to the memory requirements and you could be making $500/month.
i missed this thread somehow, but for what it's worth, you don't want to mine Monero with nVidia GPUs. In fact, you probably don't want to mine Monero with AMD hardware either right now due to the increased difficulty. There are other CryptoNote-based coins that are more profitable. Electroneum, for example.
However, if you've got a gaming PC and you want to make a few bucks a day with it, download NiceHash and give that a try. It's the easiest way to jump into the crypto mining game.
Quoted from Astropin:We have no idea where things are heading...only where they are.
Yeah, I have no idea what the market's gonna do. The only thing I know for sure is that for all the bluster, nobody else does, either.
Quoted from Spyderturbo007:Anyone get plowed by Coinbase? The stole $1,000 from my bank account overnight. Apparently a ton of people have been effected and Coinbase is "investigating".
Yeah sounds like Coinbase got hacked bigtime. Reddit is blowing up. I checked my Coinbase account and i don't see anything shady. I don't keep any money there, though, i just use it as a passthrough when i'm putting my mining gains onto my debit card.
Quoted from Spyderturbo007:Yeah. That's what I said when I looked at my account this morning.
One guy claims they whacked him 17 times for the same $1,000 transaction. They only got me for 2 x $500.
Here is their Reddit post:

Ah good to hear they have it under control and any charges will be refunded.
