Yes indirectly, you can mine altcoins but get paid out with bitcoins via nicehash.

I have a gaming laptop (yes i know you shall not mine with laptops, but I wanted to know if nicehash is legit from my own exerience and I do not have a PC) with a GTX 980m, and mined with it for ~2 weeks and got ~30$ woth of btc as a payout.

Nicehash has a good calculator too https://www.nicehash.com/?p=calc

Not sure about your grapgic card but I think it´s too old, you might consider buying a GTX 1080ti, it has a ROI of 100 days

hi all.,

i have pretty powerful PC , can i still mine bitcoins at home ?

cpu: amd fx 8350
mem : 16 gigs ddr3
gpu : NVIDIA GeForce GT 610


where can i get more information on how many bitcoins i can mine per month ?


or if i need new graphics card then which one is better ?

or i can mine any other coin and then exchange it with bitcoin.,

Thanks for your time.
sorry for too many questions.




if question is "can i mine" the answer is yes you can, but if question is "is it profitable" so the answer is "No". you can test mine in a pool and get your hash rate, and then calculate your hashrate in coinwarz. Another option is mine monero with your gpu

Best bet would be to rent your hash through Minerrentalrigs with a failover to Nicehash.

Come on,its like buying mining shares,it's a no profit deal,unless you get a jump on a coin that will pump & you can dump  Cheesy

Not mining anything with THAT video card  Cheesy

It is WAY outdated & too slow,you need at least an AMD 470/570 4gig or 8gig (7950 and 7970 do ok,but use alot of power) or Nvidia 1060/1070 3gig or 6 gig.

And yeah,bitcoin mining is over with ANY video cards  Sad

Just started selling hash through Nicehash.  Are you recommending Minerrentalrigs over it for increased profitabilty vs. Nicehash?

If you're looking at Bitcoin specifically, there is no way to profitably mine it, or even mine a few cents worth of Bitcoin with your normal PC. But you might be able to mine altcoins and convert them to BTC.

Your best way to check would be to try this software: https://minergate.com/

It automatically chooses the best altcoin to mine, and mines it.
I doubt you would earn more than ~10-20 cents a day mining, and the power cost will likely hugely offset any profit.

But it might be worth trying to sate your curiosity.



MinerGate is Trojan.
Any proof ?

There are some great resources to help you understand where the greatest return on mining investment can be achieved. It's not with Bitcoin, but you could make some good gains with an alternative crypto currency and then trade that let those mining rewards ride or trade them for Bitcoin or a more mainstream crypto currency.

Check out this site: https://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency

You seem to know enough about how to fill out the profitability template, but there's also some general stats for several crypto currencies.
