Topic: Ethereum mining still profitable? - page 66. (Read 131303 times)
on the margin, quite possibly nonprofitable.
I heard Win 10 is not good for mining Ethereum. Did you compare it with the previous Windows?
Absolutely,
I'm only running a single video card, this rig's job in life isn't mining. It's a day to day machine.
But that single video card hashes at exactly what it should be based on the many benchmark entries at the ethereum forums.
No issues at all, temps are perfect, machine runs stable and my kid has no problem gaming when he wants (while mining is still happening).
I just set up another PC for mining eth the other day.
64-bit Win10.
You'll want to start by getting geth running
https://build.ethdev.com/builds/Windows%20Go%20master%20branch/Geth-Win64-latest.zip
Using geth you can download the blockchain and create a wallet.
Once you have a wallet
Go here and grab the windows installer https://github.com/ethereum/webthree-umbrella/releases
You'll also likely need this: http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=40784
Once its done you have to find the folder with ethminer in it.
Then choose your favorite pool (look at the ethereum forums) and follow their instructions for proper settings.

With the current price going up, i would make sense it's profitable again.
I do encounter set up issues so I did not proceed with it.

I have not been able to do the set up properly, so I can imagine that those that do are probably making a decent profit, of course ethereums real value will be determined when fully functional. I was going to buy some cloud mining power on genesis to mine ether but the numbers just didnt quite add up better off just buying more ether and holding it.
I was gonna mine Ethereum for fun but a lot of steps are involoved in setting it up. I don't have a programming background so I just gave up. I do like the idea behind Ethereum.
its kinda complicated setting the Ethereum mining up. I lost a lot of time stting my rig up. But I couldn't do it anyway since the rig had a W7 32.
Now I need to instal the 64 and try again.
You also need 4GB memory at least. The speed of the memory does not matter. The hash rate has dropped a lot since the beginning as the DAG file size has increased.

Its pretty easy to be honest and there is a really good article at https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/guides/how-to-mine-ethereum/
Considering certain factors, you can decide to mine ethereum or not. Ethereum is being hugely traded on different exchanges. The value may rise soon. However prediction is just for prediction only. It will not be related to mining.
The factors you may think about is
1. Electricity cost, if you're going with free electricity or solar like energy systems, you can save a lot of money. So it will be profitable.
2. Difficulty and your hardware means your rigs capacity. If you have a farm of rigs, you can beat the difficulty and make much more coins.

The price of Ethereum has risen steadily recently. So the mining is more profitable now. Much better than a few months ago.

If you run windows, the process is not complicated. It is similar to other altcoin mining. You just need to follow the steps.

Shouldn't the Ethereum algo block or limit high intensity users so that no 1 big poweruser can take over?
Or am I wrong?
Or am I wrong?
It is not the high intensity miners, it is the pools. Two pools have over 50% of total hashing power at the moment.

The Genesis Mining has come to the Ethereum mining. The difficulty has risen too much. It will soon be unprofitable for most people.
very soon it will not be profitable even for cheap electricity users.

If you followed it you'd have an account created within geth.
You can type "geth account list" to see your account
You can then take that account # (starting with 0x)
Then do "geth console" give it a few minutes. Once its settled you can enter web3.eth.getBalance(account# from earlier) and it should show you what you have.
You can use http://etherscan.io/ether-mining-calculator to calculate the mining profitability.
