Each GPU brings in a couple hundred bucks a month. This is a fairly small organization so it doesn't take much to increase the distribution %. Right now we have 2 GPUs and a 2/3's working S17 providing the mining donations, so buying 1 more GPU would actually be a decent increase in mining power. A big reason for this stagnation in hashrate is that I've been expecting a Bitcoin price increase for the last couple years and felt that sitting on our savings was the best move. That move has proven to be the right decision so far, so I'm not in a hurry to reverse it quite yet and open the floodgates on our savings.
what are you mining to make a few hundred a month? and what gpu's? are you mining eth or rvn and converting it? or are you on nicehash? I wont use them, I lost half a btc in their "hack" and even though they say they paid everyone back, I haven't gotten anything back.
Yes, we are mining on nicehash with a couple Radeon VIIs. They did pay us all the lost funds from the "hack" and I haven't found a better alternative to date. I wanted to stack altcoins instead of mining on nicehash, but when a poll was proposed the fans decided to keep the operation BTC only.
well on nicehash you are pretty much mining alt coins - they just pay you in BTC - at least that is what I recall. I dont mine there and have never gotten reimbursed, though it was only about .5 btc which was not as much then as it is now. a lot of pools are crooked - slush stopped paying merged mining when NMC hit highs, by the time they paid it out years later it was worthless. I toss my gpus on something called cudominer - it mines eth/rvn/xmr and pays me in BTC or in any of the others if I so choose. and the more I mine, the more the fees drop. I have a few asics and my gpu/cpu rigs there. the others are mining solo - hoping for a lottery win
