Do you mine? - thatdude - 12-26-2017
I'd like to know if I'm the only miner here. If you mine, I'd like to know the specs of your miner, the coin/s you've been mining, and how long you've been mining.
I built a rig with 2x 1080ti (blower + dual fan) and currently, I am mining bitcoin gold (uses zcash miner) and it's been half a year since I started mining.

How much do you make from it? I'm guessing your power bill costs more than you've made, but I may be wrong.

Further to this, I'd be very Interested to read exactly what's Involved (In your case) and the amount of time generated to get a decent return.

Well, there isn't a precise amount you'll be earning, it depends on the coin your mining and luck. I encountered bad months but also good months. But for this month, I think I'll earn well. Here's the amount I can get if everything stays smooth.
I earn around $70 - $80 a week, about $300 a month. I have a small iCafe here that has 6 units/computers and the total electric bill I get every month is around $150. It earns pretty well but there are other fees I have to pay for tuition, water bill, and more.
But this can change, it could go down and high. But let's just pray it'll stay this way for a couple of months.

You'll achieve your ROI around a year (more or less).

So In terms of mining Itself, less your overhead being the electric bill, your profit Is 150$.
Even more If you segregate the bill for the PC performing the mining per se.

That's actually not bad. I'd be curious to hear the specifics.

I mined $12 worth of monero using school and library computers.

I am going to start mining, and saving up for a couple more AMD Rx 580's for my rig. When I do mine, though, it's definitely not going to be BTC/ETH. Those are way oversaturated and the potential for profits lessened. I'm planning to mine a coin with a strong userbase, ambitious plans which is not very well known as of yet. Meaning, less people have popped into the mining bandwagon so the block difficulty is lower.

Was mining 4 years ago but I figured it out that It only would bring me costs, not the money.
