Title: How much do you pay for mining? Post by: Wiz Khalifa on May 01, 2012, 10:29:31 PM Just wondering how much you guys usually pay per month on mining.
I might start but I don't know if I should because it might cost to much. Title: Re: How much do you pay for mining? Post by: Blazr on May 01, 2012, 10:47:13 PM The cost of mining varies GREATLY depending on what hardware you use, where your from and what electricity company you use. There is no average.
Anyways, here is what it roughly costs me (I have 700MHash): Revenue per month: 193.69 USD Power cost per month: 131.49 USD Monthly profit: 62.20 USD If you take into account all the time I spend fiddling with it and the cost of the hardware, I'd be making a loss. Nowadays due to increased network difficulty, mining is something you do for fun, and not solely to make a profit. Here is a link to a handy calculator you can use to estimate your mining income, cost & profit: http://bitcoinx.com/profit/index.php And a page that compares mining hardware: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison Title: Re: How much do you pay for mining?

If you want to mine only for the benefits don't do it, it's not worth Title: Re: How much do you pay for mining? Post by: akodi on May 16, 2012, 11:10:03 PM Profit margins are pretty small now.
back in the day when coins were up to $30 each i was pulling in 7.50 a day with a single 5850. Title: Re: How much do you pay for mining? Post by: atomicswan27 on May 18, 2012, 05:55:23 AM This greatly depends on the hardware you have

Mining is a decent way to dollar-cost-average into BTC and as long as you don't create huge electricity costs you don't necessarily have to sell them.
