I will occasionally mine with it, though. And yes, I do have a 1.7K$ Budget :) Title: Re: How fast would this gaming computer I am about to buy mine? Post by: philipma1957 on February 16, 2015, 02:24:17 AM not fast. and it would be for x11 coins like darkcoin. I gave up on alt coins no longer track them. maybe someone else can chime in.
yeah it can do BTC but 1gh at the most which is an insane waste of money. this below does 425 to 475 gh and it would use 320 to 380 watts. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bitmain-Antminer-S3-441-GH-s-Bitcoin-BTC-ASIC-Miner-/331470551122?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d2d2f3852 Title: Re: How fast would this gaming computer I am about to buy mine? Post by: -ck on February 16, 2015, 03:29:02 AM Regular computer hardware no matter how high performance can no longer mine bitcoin in any meaningful way. Every 1000 dollars spent on electricity with them will earn about 1 dollar's worth of bitcoin and the denomination would be so small that no mining pool would allow you to withdraw it.

When you mine, you're basically overclocking the shit out of GPU, so the whole system would produce ridiculous amounts of heat, causing thermal damage to your investment in the long run. Without proper cooling, you could possibly burn out your video cards, CPU, motherboard if you don't have proper cooling, so it'll be quite risky. You burn out your rig, and no more Witcher 3 to play... Title: Re: How fast would this gaming computer I am about to buy mine? Post by: nwfella on February 18, 2015, 06:26:12 PM x11 coins might be worth it, check them out. x11 coins pretty much his only real option. Obviously if your having to pay for your electricity et all you'll end up paying far more than you ultimately generate unfortunately. PC mining is basically dead imho. |
