I wanted to try to expand my portfolio of coins to include some newer ones that I think are undervalued and are mined with low difficulty on the off chance that they will increase in value.
So first up is Sia, I installed it and ran it on a GTX 650 before I received my GTX 1080 Ti.
I first tried to get the miner that uses Cuda to work in Linux, its called Marlin but it errored out with a apparently common issue.
So I rebooted into Windows 10 and started over and installed the SiaUi wallet, took freaking forever to sync, but its easy to install then installed Marlin and they work like a champ.
The best performance with my GTX 650 was ~120 Mh/s.
And this past Tuesday I installed my 1080 Ti, of course I tried a few games and other things before I tried to mine with it, but after I fired up Marlin to mine Sia I was in for a shock.

It is literally almost 30 times faster than a GTX 650
I can mine Sia for one day on a GTX 1080 Ti and get about the same or more coins it would take a GTX 650 a MONTH to do.
Sia is only valued at ~1.5 cents each but I really think it will go up, how high I don't have a clue.
