He is making 0.05 per day for both. That is about 32 usd per day. Assuming he's using 900 W (overclocked, otherwise daily earnings would be a bit lower), that's 21 kwh/day. At 0.15/kwh that is 3 usd per day in electricity, for a net profit of about 29 usd per day. Over a three month period that translates to spending a bit under $300 for electricity and around $1400 hardware cost.
The point I am trying to make is that if this a profitable business model, with difficulty going up every 10-12 days it will take long time to break even.
He will break even on hardware in probably 50 days (after factoring in electricity) and from that point on be making a profit. Will he get rich? No. Will he make some money? Sure. If you could make enough per month to cover a car payment after 50 days why not?
My goal is to make enough each month to cover child care for my new and first baby coming up.
