It's otherwise known as Bitcoin Mining. I've had it running for 2 days on the computers downtime and have earned $7.00

I am using Nicehash which has a feature that lets you get an estimate of what your rig can earn. The main reason the high end Nvidia cards are so expensive and hard to find is because they get better results than most of the antminers out there at a cheaper cost. They are getting swept up by crypto miners as soon as they come up for sale.

Also I don't know what software you use but I would look into MinerGate.com It seems to be the best formatted.

Did you already tried to cash in through minergate?

Nicehash miner!

Tek-Make sure you're let it mine with your GPU!  Cpu only mining is weak, but when you use your gaming GPU boom the profits come in

Hey guys, I wanted to post an update.

I've been using three computers to mine.

One computer has a 1080ti, a 1070, and a R9 270x.

One has an AMD Vega 64

One has my 980ti and a GTX 1060


I've seen my power bill increase $25 a month by keeping them running.  I've mostly used NiceHash, it looks like this:




Since I started late November, I have earned $200 USD into my bank account and currently hold $1700 USD worth of bitcoin.  If Bitcoin peaks in December this year (like it has the past few years, on schedule) then I might have upwards of $10k-60k depending on how crazy it gets.  Or, bitcoin could disappear and become worthless and I have $0.   Or it could be pretty stable and I only get $6k.   I cant tell the future, but it's not too late to have your gaming computer/video cards earn you money while you sleep....    I'll post an update with the results of my "One year of mining" project as we get near the December selloff to conclude my project....

It's nice to do when you have the rigs, but i don't know if the proffit stay's when you have to buy them just for mining, the currency is pretty volatile lately.

Thanks for the updates JayJay, its really interesting.
