So last night I started mining cryptocurrency for the first time on my PC. So far it seems to be going well and I have now started Dual mining Eth/Sia . So far it seems this will be the best return on all the dual mining options.

First mining post:

After setting up dual miner I downloaded MSI Afterburner so I could tweak my cards power usage.

After changing my settings around I was able to increase my ETH hash rate to 19-20 while also adding 250+ MH/s of Siacoin. So I was very happy with these results. Incase anyone is thinking of doing this just a word of wisdom is the SIA wallet is a pain in the neck for me for some reason. So I set up for my Siacoins the be sent to Poloniex.com as bad as I hated to. I know your not supposed to store your coins in an exchange but its all I could figure out at the moment. So here is a screen shot of my Afterburner and hash rates.

So any ways that is my progress in this adventure so far. For more info on the rig I'm using check my first post about mining. Link at the top of this post. Thank you for reading. Also can anyone tell me how this "whalepower" hash tag works? Is it ok for anyone to use? Is it a good or bad thing to use? See you guys in the next post.
