Title: This can't be real... is my math correct? Post by: MrSamHammich on June 09, 2017, 10:51:25 PM So I've been lurking around this forum, random YouTube channels and websites looking at information on getting into GPU mining. I decided to finally register here because I have a question on calculating profits from a GPU mining rig. This is the pre-built rig I've been looking at...

I rounded up to 0.14 USD. https://i.imgur.com/bi4Vuf7.jpg This is the "profit" calculated. https://i.imgur.com/cXg4Kb2.jpg This just can't be real. Why isn't everyone doing this? I understand that ETH rises in complexity, but anyone can buy/build a rig. What am i missing? Title: Re: This can't be real... is my math correct? Post by: iamnoobplzhelp on June 09, 2017, 11:02:29 PM Looks about right...
Here's one factor that will cut into your profits.... reported hashrate vs effective hashrate. Many people will use their reported hashrates in these calculators, but if you have tons of errors, your effective hash rate may be way lower. This will cut directly into your profits.

Right now gpu mining is awesome. 3 months ago it wasn't like this and tomorrow it can go back to that way Volatility is the answer you seek Title: Re: This can't be real... is my math correct?

I understand that ETH rises in complexity, but anyone can buy/build a rig. What am i missing? that's right, just for now. But be sure it will not always be like today. That's the reason there are no Amd RX 470/480 or 570/580 in any store in the world Title: Re: This can't be real... is my math correct?
