Title: Profit help. Please.
Post by: JY360 on April 08, 2015, 04:54:03 PM
Hey!

So, I'm a little confused. I make next to nothing from mining despite the setup I run. I have a decent PC (with 2 AMD 280 x's) which mines Bytecoin. I have a scrypt ASIC, which uses coinmine.pw 24/7.

The thing is, I run on (almost) 100% renewable energy. My electric costs are effectively zero, so surely mining should cause the heavens to open and rain money? Or am I missing something?

A little advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks!
Jason

So what is the hashrate on your PC and the hashrate of your ASIC?

And what are you mining on the pool?

Running as roughly 1.2Kh/s mining Bytecoin from my PC.

The ASIC is a basic 1.4Mh/s mining florin coin.

Thanks for replying to my thread OP :)

1.2KH is a little slow ?

My comp that I'm on right now is doing about 15KH's per thread and I was advised to CPU mine magi.

You'll just need to figure out your hashrate for those algos first.

How much are you expecting to earn?  I don't think you will make much of anything with that little hash.
