I'm completely new at this and i dont quite understand it fully but i registered and started mining.
I'm reading on how to mine, i have 3 computers that i was not using and one laptop and with no effort at all got to about 55 Mhash/s and did 12 Shares.
So let's say i make 2 BTC in 24Hours, i want to know how much is that in €uros to know if this is worth my time or just for fun.
i went to a website that was saying that 1BTC is arround 28 USD is that right ?
so if i made 2BTC in one day that means i made arround 50 euros?

1 USD = 0.686018 EUR

2BTC * 28USD * .686EUR/USD = 38.416EUR

55Mhashes/second / 4294967296hashes/share / 567358shares/block * 50BTC/block * 3600seconds/hour * 24hours/day * 30USD/BTC * 0.686018EUR/USD = 4.26EUR/day (at the current difficulty, USD/BTC and EUR/USD rate)

He is saying you will not get 2BTC per day with 55MHash/second. And he's right.

His math is a little optimistic. Use: http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php

On average you would get about .1BTC / day. Or 1.5Euros

Yeah, my math assumes that there are no downtimes or fees anywhere, and everything's running at 100% efficiency.
So it's basically the upper bound, everything above that would be temporary fluctuations due to variance/luck.
1.5EUR/day seems a bit too pessimistic though, assuming the price keeps up with difficulty.
