Next to nothing (CPU mining).  I guess I might as well stop mining altogether…

Cheers,

Cheers,

join a pool & GPU mine too, something is better than nothing  ???, dont leave your PC on 24/7 with low mining rates.

I have two machines doing pooled mining (CPU, as I have no suitable GPU), and together they harvest around BTC 0.25 per week, even if they're both mining 24×7.  C'm'on, dude…!  ;)

Hoping to jump above .5/day with a new GPU soon, but who knows.

You need to join a pool.

Would prefer not to. Just not my luck. I could hit 5 blocks tonight for all I know. Over time, it should all average out to be about the same, except without the pool fee, right?

I got a block last week on a CPU miner after running it for all of two days. Switched to GPU mining and haven't seen one yet. Luck... is totally random. :)

Currently making about .15 BTC a day with 8.6Mhash/s of GPU and 1.5Mhash/s CPU during my laptops idle time with Deepbit Mining Pool.

It's going to help pay for a few chips for my robot I'm making so worth it since I'm not paying for electricity.

Seems like if I let my gpu miners run for days I get nothing, but If I run in a pool for 24 hours then start mining solo again I hit a block immediatly. Basically how it happend with all the blocks I hit. So I will pool mine for 24 hours then do gpu for 24 hours.

Trying to find patterns in random events is a fools game.

Its like blowing on dice my man. Obviously a proven & sound way of doing things.

 but at least the pool pays everytime im connected!

I generate none! I earned all my living from being a knowledge worker in the bitcoin economy.
