Expand Haha yep, it actually costs money to create a currency, gotta love it. Update: The first half of November I didn't calculate for because I was using my profits instantly on investments. Conservatively I made around .45 Zec. I then switched to hoarding my ZEC and stockpiled .5484 ZEC. About 1 ZEC and $330 from Nov 1st until today. Finally made the decision to switch to winminer and I must say I prefer it over nicehash. After getting windows re-installed and a slight underclock for power purposes I'm making $15-16/day and also mining on my personal comp when comp is idle. At this rate I'm looking at $450 a month and I'm stoked, that's about a 6 month ROI. I might play around with overclocking a bit more and see if I can't get $16/day Edited December 3, 2017 by Jordan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio Kala Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 @Jordan Quick question, if I'm currently paying for a server on a monthly basis to be on 24/7, but due to botting I have downtime, would it be smart to have it mine an altcoin?

(no gpu only cpu) Expand Probably not worth it, CPU mining isn't lucrative afaik. But, I'm not 100% sure based on your circumstances, it's worth downloading winminer or nicehash to find out.

Joliter Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 @Jordan , I downloaded WinMiner to try it out see if it's worth running it while my computer is idle. I usually leave the computer on 24/7, is there a way to find out how much power is uses without the miner, and how much with it? The miner was estimating $0.50/day lol, but if the power difference isn't that much, might be worth doing it, since I leave it on anyway.

Expand You'd probably need to be at $1/day at least, maybe more before it's worth it to mine after electricity costs. It would still use a lot more power than it does sitting idle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
