Title: What are you using to mine bitcoins?
Post by: tonychau77 on September 29, 2013, 07:53:42 AM
Are you guys mining bitcoins now? What are you using to mine and how much can you earn?
I used to mine bitcoins with an nVIDIA GeForce GTX 660. It runs at 76.5 MH/s. I can earn 0.0005 per day in August. I shut them down because I cannot earn anything with that.

Yeah the time for GPU mining was like 2 years ago, right now you'd probably earn more from faucets each day than mining with a GPU. I stopped mining ages ago, sold off my GPUs back in '11 so I'm just investing in BTC now.

Not mining right now. Really need to mine with ASIC these days, but I decided not to preorder due to the uncertainty for latecomers getting ROI.
i'm in the same boat. i just can't plan on reliable ROI. i don't want to put in the money right now, not the amount i need, even though i do think bitcoin will be worth a lot more in the future.

I only have a few ASIC right now  pc is on 24/7 anyway so turned on GPU  it adds 9-10% to my has rate.

Very similar with me, I dont mining anymore, not worth it with GPUs.

I don't think those toasters can mine very well either, as of now.

Please do not crush my hopes and dreams of mining bitcoins while making delicious toast at the same time, with the same machine.
You can actually put a toaster into one of the 5.25" bays of your computer. ;D

I have participated in a group buy of a KnCminer Mercury which will be shipped soon. It will be around 20GH/s for my share.

Yeah I don't think that anything other than ASIC is a reasonable choice now.

Asics is the best choice.
