Prolax Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Would this be worth running NiceHash Miner for BTC? 10x Dell Optiplex 3040 with Intel Core i5 - 6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz I don't have to worry about electricity bill. Regards Prolax Edited January 2, 2018 by Prolax
nvrsince Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 No, you'd be lucky to earn 0.50$ via cryptonight algorithm with all computers combined.

Indeed just calculated my profits per device: Daily income0.00002144 BTC 0.25 EUR Weekly income0.00015008 BTC 1.75 EUR Monthly income0.00064320 BTC 7.50 EUR So that would be around 70 - 75 € each month running 24/7. Better to invest in antminers.
grimnox Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 You want to be mining using the power of a GPU not a CPU, and never mine directly into bitcoin unless you are using multiple independent rigs with private pools, else you wont even make 0.001 of a coin a month, stick to less diluted coins with good rise potential and buy into coins worth more. if you need any help in the mining industry let me know.

Try updating your gpu drivers via the geforce software also in the settings of the benchmark, click each gpu and select all the miners Edited January 2, 2018 by RDM
