Topic: how much money can a regular pc make per day mining? (Read 3848 times)

either buy AMD card like 280X and above & mining ETH or buy NVIDIA card like 960 and above & mining Lyrav2Rev2 algo using nicehash if you want a single gpu still make some profit.

my gtx 970 can mining lyra2 @ 23MH/s and get about 0.0033 BTC per day. pretty good comparing mining other coin (except ETH, but that's best using AMD card).

again... when using single gpu it's more like you having some fun with this mining thing rather than profit.

i tried mining with my pc  , specs i3 processor and intel hd graphics card  then i registered in slushpool and believe me dude
it was horrible dude i run it for 10 hrs and it didn't even get 10 satoshi 

your idea used to work in 2010 and 2011.  It no longer works due to btc gear growth.

we are at 1400ph of gear or 1,400,000,000gh     a pc cpu is .05gh

when we  were at 1,400gh    your idea was good.

The only thing a pc can mine and make money is ETH coin  and you need a quality gpu to do it.

It'll make a negative profit... sorry to tell you, but mining with a pc will make you less than you can withdraw from a pool, plus it might ruin your pc, adding to the costs.

The best CPU seems to get you 115Mh/s, this table seems old, but believe me, even the newest XEON's won't deliver good hashrate

It might make you 7 cents!!!!! a year, at current block reward, price and diff, excluding power and hardware costs


IF you use a good cpu, and the pc has a good graphics card (and you run a CPU + GPU miner at full capacitiy), you might get 1-1.5 Gh/s, but that's best-case scenario...

That's a whopping 88 cents a year, not counting the power usage, the block halving, the fact that you'll trash the pc, the diff,...

If you want to mine, you'll need to do your homework: buy the latest ASIC gear (an antminer S9, or S7), check the cost of buying this stuff, your electricity rate, if you have a place to mine (it's loud and generates a lot of heat, draws a lot of power,...).
If you want to learn how to mine, you can pick up a geccoscience compac stick: https://www.amazon.co.uk/performance-Stick-Miner-GekkoScience-Compac/dp/B0174YL454
It runs at 16 Gh/s (you can even get 23Gh/s if you know what you're doing), and it costs $25-$50... This cheap usbstick generates 10 times as much hashes per second as your top-notch CPU and your high quality GPU combined at a fraction of the power draw... But even this stick won't ROI, it's more of a learning tool

If the pc has a really good GPU, you might want to try altcoin mining, but even this has no guaranteed profit... You might make a couple of cents if you're lucky.

Hi, I am making a software where people will use for free and I will put in the contract they sign that they agree their pc will be used to mine bitcoins.
I am trying to see if my biz model will make sense.

Here is what I need to know.

1) Average pc (not crap, nothing special though) if it's running 24 hours, how much money will it make in bc's approx?
2) When it's mining, will the pc be functional to use or will it cap cpu, because these people need to use pc's and it can't effect the performance 'at all', so that may mean i have to reduce greatly the mining, which is fine if that's what needs to be done, but I want to know what cpu threshold i would need to cap pc so that it won't effect pc performance and based on this, how much money i can expect to mine per day

thanks
