Title: Should i mine or wait? Post by: Millvek on December 10, 2012, 09:30:00 PM I've just hopped on the wagon and complete utter nugget, I and have mid gaming level rig which I'm running just now and can compute approx 180-190 Mhash/s on a Radeon 6770 under Win7 x64. I've yet to boot into backtrack for a tryout.
should i give up and wait for now until ASICs release and stop wasting energy! Title: Re: Should i mine or wait? Post by: Killer19 on December 10, 2012, 09:31:15 PM Just mine ltc and convert into btc, a lot more profitable for your current rig.

I'm away for a cuppa tea! to cool down! Thanks for the reply's so far ;) Title: Re: Should i mine or wait? Post by: mitty on December 11, 2012, 01:00:36 AM You can mine about 0.03 BTC/day at 190 Mh/s (according to 50btc's pps calculator)
Radeon 6770 uses about 100 watts Assuming the rig uses 150 watts total and an electric cost of $0.10/kwh, you'd use about $10.80/month in electricity 0.03 BTC/day * 30 days per month = 0.9 BTC/month At current exchange rate, 0.9 BTC = $12.08 Estimated monthly profit = $1.28 I guess you basically get some free heat if you decide to mine, haha Title: Re: Should i mine or wait?
