Title: How long does it take now to generate a bitcoin?
Post by: smoothrunnings on November 10, 2016, 06:00:27 PM
Hi,

I have been out of the scene for a while but still have my two Neptune's. Can someone tell me how much time it would take at 3.4TH/s to mine a bitcoin?

Thanks,
Andrew

Are you talking about solo mining or pool mining?

Most of the Bitcoin mining calculators show pool mining with 3.4Ths would generate-
1 day
0.00335776
$2.39

1 week
0.02350433
$16.77

2 weeks
0.04700867
$33.55

3 weeks
0.07051301
$50.33

1 month
0.10073287
$71.90

(That is before electricity costs.)
I'm not sure about solo mining your chance to hit a coin but I'm sure there is someone here who can provide the estimation.

ool mining is the best place but when we need profit then we have to take dome special care on the mining ridge like keeping it at a clean and cold place and it takes about 1week ymto generate some amount of money but mining is not advicable for many users

Its too low according to this site https://alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator
The result is $68 per month without electricity cost..  with a speed of 3.4 th/s
Its nearly earn by bitmain miner s7 but  3.4 is just like avalon 6 miner has 3.5 th/s i think it is better to buy a bitmain s7 than avalon 6

In another thread, it was determined it was the same cost of fall/winter/early spring heating, the coins are just added extras.
There is no additional energy cost associated with heating your house with a miner verses heating your house with an electric heater.

You have to deduct the electricity {at your rates} for the mining and the cooling and also a little bit for the internet access. I should say about

1 year, if you lucky or even a little bit less. There are a lot of variables like difficulty that might influence your final outcome. I would not waste

my time to mine 1 or 2 bitcoins in a year. I would rather buy 1 and hoard it for a year and get the same result, with a lot less risk. My return

on investment by buying and hoarding long-term has paid off nicely.  ;D

You can try to mine ZEC,since the price is high now and will yield a good returns with your current hardware
