Just started mining in a pool, are these stats crap?

[momagic]

You tell me? I'm on Slushes pool. I'm using a Core i5, 6GB RAM, Intel 400 graphics and using 3 cores.

Yes, CPU mining is unprofitable in ALL cases.

GPU mining will soon be.

If you want to get into the mining business, you'd need an ASIC. Best way is to buy ASICMINER shares.

[greyhawk]

You have made a grand total of 0,004 USD or 0,4 US cents in 3 days. In a month you'll have 4 whole cents. In a year, you'll have made 48 cents (at current difficulty. Expect actual revenue to be way less).

[momagic]

I started yesterday night but damn, 4 cents? That's riduculous!

I wish I got on to this bitcoin thing when mining was easy.

No. 0,4 cents.

Bahaaha. FML.

[momagic]

Ok, now I'm using the Intel 4000 graphics and I'm getting 4 Mhash/s which is a bit better than 1.4!

After CPU mining for about 18 hours I probably made a paltry 0.00009497BTC.

[ideit]

Keep in mind you're likely spending more than this on the electric to run your cpu and gpu at those levels. Check out http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/ with some of your numbers. I'd bet you're actually losing money doing this.

I know. I'm having one of those 'coulda, would, shoulda' moments. I knew about btc  a year back but took no action.

This is just a test though, so 1 or 2 days won't hurt.

But imagine a year in the future....

0.00009497BTC could be worth £10,000....

[Gator-hex]

Try LiteCoin if you want to go back in time and mine on a CPU 

[SardonicJester]

Even Litecoin isn't very profitable using a CPU. 

It will be a little easier once the difficulty drops. (Since MANY people have moved back to mining bitcoin because of the price jump)

[momagic]

It's a bit like a game and you're making points. You get an achievment every time you hit 1 BTC. lol

[greyhawk]

Longest game ever. 

[momagic]

Longest game ever. 

Haven't you heard of RPG's? lol
