Title: Doubt about mining () Post by: droidman on June 08, 2011, 07:20:54 PM I'm completely new at this and i dont quite understand it fully but i registered and started mining.
I'm reading on how to mine, i have 3 computers that i was not using and one laptop and with no effort at all got to about 55 Mhash/s and did 12 Shares. So let's say i make 2 BTC in 24Hours, i want to know how much is that in uros to know if this is worth my time or just for fun. i went to a website that was saying that 1BTC is arround 28 USD is that right ? so if i made 2BTC in one day that means i made arround 50 euros? Title: Re: Doubt about mining () Post by: bcpokey on June 08, 2011, 07:23:37 PM 1 USD = 0.686018 EUR
2BTC * 28USD * .686EUR/USD = 38.416EUR Title: Re: Doubt about mining () Post by: TheSeven on June 08, 2011, 07:29:46 PM I'm completely new at this and i dont quite understand it fully but i registered and started mining.

Title: Re: Doubt about mining () Post by: bcpokey on June 08, 2011, 07:38:42 PM He is saying you will not get 2BTC per day with 55MHash/second. And he's right.
His math is a little optimistic. Use: http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php On average you would get about .1BTC / day. Or 1.5Euros Title: Re: Doubt about mining () Post by: droidman on June 08, 2011, 07:58:39 PM hmmm ok. i will try to increase it. i have more computers and graphic cards :) thank you
Title: Re: Doubt about mining () Post by: TheSeven on June 09, 2011, 08:45:53 AM Yeah, my math assumes that there are no downtimes or fees anywhere, and everything's running at 100% efficiency.
So it's basically the upper bound, everything above that would be temporary fluctuations due to variance/luck. 1.5EUR/day seems a bit too pessimistic though, assuming the price keeps up with difficulty. |
