slow mining

[sonubatthis101]

guys im new here just started mining about 2 days ago
slush pool

Pool luck (1 day, 7 days, 30 days):   66%, 97%, 99%

guiminer using opengl
gt 440 - 14.7-15.0 Mhash/s

any advice?
suggestion?

My thoughts?
Stop wasting your hardware on bitcoin mining. Mine alt-coins if you really want to.

The age of GPU mining bitcoin is long gone.
You may mine scrypt coins, but with your low-end Nvidia GPU, I am afraid you won't get much hashrate...

Agree with blacksails and Zebra, you can't really do much with the GT440.

BTW, it should be OpenCL instead of OpenGL.

Best thing to try on a GT440 IMO ...

Or possibly

bearing in mind that "best" probably still isn't very good in a the grand scheme of things. (i.e. few bucks a month)

If you really, really, really want to mine scrypt coins slightly less slowly/unprofitably try

Mining bitcoin directly with a GPU is now regarded as a waste of time, even by those who have GPUs capable of 50x the hashrate that the GT440 can manage.

Mining with that equipment is not profitable, unless you're doing this for fun  . Try a signature deal

i'm gonna try solo mining CPU bitcoin tonight.  and see where i get.  25 BTC here i cum!!!!

Mining is dying for us regular folks.

I am sorry to say it but as other user said the same, is a waste for mining BTC you'll spend more energy and the benefit will be lower, try instead mining other altcoin and it wil be faster. regards.

Regardless of which pool, you need some serious hardware to mine bitcoin directly

[ajw7989]

Mining with mh today is pointless. You need at least a few hundreds of gh to make serious bitcoin but for small amounts about 20-30gh/s will do.  Mining with gpus or any computer parts with bitcoin is long gone. Either mine altcoins and gamble with them like others said or invest in big miners (although the ROI on these are not looking good at all).

[Chrithu]

Forget GPU mining alltogether.

Thanks to the power costs in most cases nowadays any faucet is more profitable than mining with your GPU.

My suggestion is to invest in some small scale ASIC miner (there are some nice little and cheapish USB-Stick solutions around) to get started.

Or don't mine at all and buy a few BTC if you can afford them. Let them sit there for a year and be happy.
