Title: Am I correct in the financial calculations of $0.70 a month??
Post by: jjn00711 on November 16, 2015, 06:36:52 AM
Am I correct that my hardware is only going to mine $0.70 per month?!

I have a GTX 980Ti and thought maybe I'd get something more than $0.70 US per month, am I doing something wrong is is that a correct figure??

 :-\

Not sure about the exact number, but yes GPU mining is not profitable anymore.

you'll pay much more for electricity than you make, that's for sure.

your only chance is to mine a completely new coin at start and hope it'll hit some value to get you in profit...

take a look at altcoin, i think you're able to squeeze more, and earn $1 a day at best

but you need to indentify the correct altcoin, it's a bit time consuming

With gpu you can only look at altcoin direction. How many Mh/s you are getting from it in BTC mining ?

There has been zero chance to turn a profit doing GPU mining of SHA256 (Bitcoin etc) for a few years.
There has been zero chance to turn a profit doing GPU mining of Scrypt coins (Litecoin etc) for a couple years.

 Other altcloins might be profitable to mine with a GPU, but count on an RoI measured in years at best.
 Dash is usually a good bet on that, others vary a lot more.

I suggest that you quit mining altogether, you build up your activity on the forum and you enroll into a signature campaign. You will earn much more and you won't have a headache anymore about the profitability and constant changes in mining world!

Try altcoins and let us know how much can you squeze out from that 980ti

As those have said before me, you'll only profit from certain Altcoins, I recommend you avoid SHA-256 and Scrypt based coins due to ASICs.

As that is a high end nVidia card, ccMiner should give you a decent enough hash rate to possibly earn a bit of profit.

I would suggest to go to nicehash and set up your card to mine on different algorithms.  you might get 1$ a day  or something, but check out you know, x11, x13, etc.  there are many algos now.  forget scrypt, forget sha.

GPUs won't be profitable at all if you wish to mine Bitcoins itself, but if you can go for different coins with different algorithms, you might see even more than $10 if the value of that coin reaches 10x based on what you are expecting from it...

it was right because difficulty more difficult even your Gpu 980TI if you mine bitcoin.

I advice you better mine alt-coin which is still profitable, profit from mine alt-coin is more than $0.70US/months. :D

Can you point to some examples of say .10 cents electricity (normalish) and brings a decent profit?  Any mining you do with GPU would be altcoin as bitcoin it would be doing nothing but dust.   

I just don't see GPU altcoins being profitable anymore.  And if you do make a profit I don't see it ROI'ing on a card I think you will make less the card cost's.
