Dave Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I REALLY hate to start down this road again, BUT, who here has been mining during the downturn and now sitting on a nice chunk of BTC? Not me! Don't tell @jcollison . I won't @ him at all in order to get his attention! LOL Time to start the miners again? I just did a profitability test on my gaming rig and it's $2 to $4 a day. That and my long forgotten nicehash account actually still had BTC in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuru Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 What about your electric bill? I know mining is mostly for fun at this level, but still, What are the cost ($/Kwh) over there? Bjørn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig0r Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I managed to get a 3060Ti FE card and with a 70% power limit, -500 on the core and +1100 on the memory it nets over £2 on Daggerhashimoto.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think my 1050Ti will outperform your card then What are the cost per Kwh? Actual cost, all inclusive, taxes, meters and all that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig0r Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I only fired it up to test so dont know what the costs to run it would have been, but it was doing that at ~120w iirc according to GPU-Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That equals to approx 86 cents/day over here for the electricity alone. Proobably not a good idea Edited January 8 by TheGuru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Mining is an investment. Yes, you will pay for electricity but you hope that the value increases much like what has happened now. I sold all my stuff long ago but curiosity got the best of me and I tested everything I have with NiceHash in order to see what the hash rate and return would be. I had the same conclusion as I did when I shut it all down long ago. "Probably not worth it." Had I mined even for the pennies those pennies would be worth much more today. So...I'm here again asking myself if I should leave it running??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig0r Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Actually, where the prices are at the mo, just fired up my card again and its saying £6.74 a day at the minute.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
