We are all well aware that it is not profitable to do so and is less productive than banging one's head against the wall, however hobbyism and enthusiasm has made me do it last summer, and I considered it multiple times for the heck of it. Leaving one out of 8 GPUs bitcoin mining isn't much of a loss anyway.

I'd really like to know people's experience on mining software, pools, solo mining, p2pool usage, etc ...




I think so

GPU miner can not only mine btc, ltc but a lot of other alt coin

1 day worth of mining with my gpu can buy me more hosted ghash for BTC than what i'd get from putting that GPU on BTC.

Definite no.

You could probably buy one ASIC Miner USB Block Erupter really cheap, heck someone would probably give you one for the shipping cost.  Then you could mine the same hash rate as your GPU in complete silence using only 2.5 watts.

I would point it at solopool or your local Bitcoin client and then forget about it.
Have Fun,

Edit: Oh, to answer your question, that's a No for me. Wink
