I have had two payments so far, average so far is about 1.4 USD a day in BTC. I think the days will vary but I think 1.4 USD is around 0.13 LTC.
Will see what I get with my next payment, later day.
You also have to take into account that I am not paying any costs for electricity at home, no heat generated, also I can use my PC for gaming instead of having to use it for mining.
Are you using 2MH plan? may I ask how much BTC is paid per day, in total 1.4 or 2.8 USD? If 1.4USD per day per MH, it is equivalent to 100-120GH/s bitcoin miner. Now a 180G bitcoin miner costs around 300-400USD, so if GM is using bitcoin mining and exchange for scrypt coins, then their price is more reasonable. This is just my guess
I am doing a 1mhash plan which costs 180USD a year. You can set that up by choosing custom when you go to pay. On average over the 3 days I have had 0.003 BTC sent to me.
Before I bought this plan I was using an ATI R9 280x graphics card which can now have a rest most of the time.
That's a pretty awesome deal. That's over 1BTC a year (assuming it remains pretty much constant), or over double what you paid.
Yes and BTC might go up in price again as well or go down a bit more. Also more people will be mining using asics so the difficulty will go up so might mean less money for me each month.
In an interview that was posted earlier, a representative of GM did say they were thinking about introducing montly rental soon. That looks quite good to me also.
In the interview they did say sometime in the future they would be thinking about people being able to mine other coins other than scrypt. X11 etc. This is because a lot of their infrastructure is GPU based.
That sounds cool. It's the only thing holding me back right now: not being able to speculate on coins and mine what I want.
Also, in terms of the mining, it's the Bitcoin itself you care about, because you are spending basically 0.3 BTC to get back 1 BTC (assuming everything is consistent). Don't bring USD into it because that alters everything. ie.
If you spend $450 right now to get a miner. It mines back 0.5 BTC but the price is $10,000 each. You've made $4550 ($5000-$450). But you could have spent that $450 on a Bitcoin and now you'd have made $9550 ($10000-$450).
Always keep with Bitcoin itself. Never introduce fiat because you aren't dealing with fiat.
