Hey
I join your pool today. I have Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 and I have about 300 khash/s. I want to know how I can calculate my income? Something that I feel what is happening while I'm mining and what I get?
You'd make about $0.66 per month on LTC. A good multipool might do 10% more. I'd say that even if you get free electricity it's not worth it because of wear on the card running 24/7.
https://bitcoinwisdom.com/litecoin/difficultyMining most coins, even with ASIC's will not make money at current market prices. I do it as a hobby and with the view that future prices may be worth exchanging today's inflationary currency using electricity for a future deflationary currency. It also helps keep down my heating bill a little bit! I wouldn't be surprised after a few more economic collapses that fiat money will be replaced by crypto-currencies, but they will more than likely be central bank issued crypto's. Most cryptos on the market don't have a future, but some might just make it.
I have a GTX680 thats puts out 395 khash/s overclocked, running at 90 degrees, and a R7 260X which works better at stock settings (cannot underclock it) pushing out 208 khash/s. These kinds of hash rates really are low hash rate miner territory, and picking the right pool to get regular payouts is needed. This site requires a hell of a lot of work to get 1mBTC minimum weekly payout. A reliable BTC indication cannot be obtained due to volatility in scrypt exchange rates and difficulty changes. Probably looking at one months solid mining to get a payout at 300 khash/s.
I look for sites that offer low free payouts and am happy to pay a mining fee. Some 0% PPLNS sites require high minimum payouts and charge the earth for a withdrawal. I also like sites that allow a cash out so that I don't have to keep mining with them if it does not suit my requirements.
Scrypt mining provides consistent temps for GPU's (no heat expansion and contraction of components), so the only component that is going to have a reduced lifespan is the cooling fan. A more aggressive cooling fan strategy might keep the card cooler, but is just going wear out the fan quicker. A GTX680 has a max TDP of 98 degrees, and will start auto cutting out the clock speed if that limit is hit.
