I see all of those 5xxx cards for sale, and I kinda wish I could put them to good use. Vanity mining is in my future, but it's not worth investing in.

Vanitypool is nice, but it's not often worth more than Bitcoin mining. Currently I would lose money activating it (at ~$0.15/kWh) even with 90% PSU power efficiency and GPUs at 0.95V.

Clearly you're right: not worth investing in.

But that doesn't mean I can fool around with it once BTC mining becomes unprofitable. Wink

I wouldn't buy cards for it, but if you have cards running, it might worth looking into depending on your cost of electricity.
