Two questions/comments about this pool.
1. Has anyone done any calculations that show roughly how much more profit can be made mining here vs mining BTC directly? (I realize that mining BTC with GPU now is pointless, but Id like to see this compared to something) Maybe even converted to USD?
Calculations for BTC mining with based on coinwarez.com mining calculator for 2 MH/s (currently what I would call my lower average) - This does not include pool fees and is set at the default power cost and usage so that value would change based on power usage.
Time Frame | BTC Coins | USD | Power Cost (in USD) | Pool Fees (in USD) | Profit in USD |
Hourly | 0.00002955 | $0.03 | $0.05 | $0.00) | ($0.02) |
Daily | 0.00070909 | $0.62 | $1.20 | $0.00 | ($0.58) |
My daily is between 0.01 (on the low end) and 0.04 (on the high end) so really mining BTC with my GPU's would cost me more money then it would be worth.. Someone with more hashing power might be better off but for my setups Ill be staying here.
