expected return

[stevenpn]

Hi everyone,

What is the overall range of BTC a miner can expect to receive per day using one computer in a pool?  The exact amount depends on the miner's system and the pool, but can we get an estimate?  Perhaps someone of you could cite your experiences with daily BTC gains.  I'm trying to figure out what is reasonable to expect from this work.

Thanks!

As you stated, it depends on your system and the Hash rate you are mining. Overall, dont expect to get a huge return unless you have a monster of a system. If fact at its current difficulty, its going to be awhile before you get your first bitcoin (depending on the pool, of course) if your are mining like 120 Mhash/s.

Cant tell you with out knowing your hardware.

With my 6850 overclocked when I started I was getting 0.9XXXX BTC a day, Now 2 months latter im getting 0.29XXX per day.
And its only going to get slower as the diffuclutly goes up as more people join in on mining.

IMO unless you already have the hardware or are looking a building a new computer for gaming your only going to lose money.
