Hi, could someone give me a rough estimate on how long one would have to mine to achieve 1 bitcoin ?
Say the scenario/setup is as follows:
- 7970 GPU (500 avg Mhash/s)
- 24/7 operation
- Slush's pool (or similar)
Thank you

You could probably get 0.000001btc per day which takes forever to reach 1btc. Give up the idea of mining bitcoin with GPU, that is what I am saying.

Thanks for the links. 1st one showed me a near 0.1 TBC monthly gain, 2nd near 0.2. Not sure I did this right but does 6-12 months for 1 coin sound about right? You could probably get 0.000001btc per day which takes forever to reach 1btc. Give up the idea wot mining buffoon with GPU, that is what I am saying. Yeah pal I'm not planning to mine with the GPU(nor at all really), just curious. |

The answer is never for GPU. You need many Th/s for that. |

I sold all mine and bought coins then asics. 1 gpu will never make 1 btc (i think safe to say) as of now. (Small exception you happen to mine launch some asic resistant coin, and with A LOT of luck it goes up a lot) |

Gpu mining directly for Btc is obsolete now, unfortunately.

I am thinking it would be measured in light years... |

I am thinking it would be measured in light years... just to let you know, 1 light year is exactly 1 year, and you will be 9460730472580800 metres away |
