RE: [Follow-Up] How to Easily Convert Your CPU and GPU into STEEM POWER: for the non-technical user
So what's your hardware and payout rate? Is it worth investing?
So what's your hardware and payout rate? Is it worth investing?
On my hardware, it's probably not profitable. I have a bunch of old/low-end systems, but I mine just to play with the technology and think of it as buying non-expiring lottery tickets. My highest scoring system is a 3.2 Ghz 4 core i5-4570 that's been getting $.10 to $.25 per day mining cryptonight (whatever that is) for the last few days.
At the moment, it's getting $0.18 per day.
As I noted in my response to @alexgr, nicehash does have settings available so that you can mine only when it would be profitable. I haven't actually made use of that capability, though.

LOL exactly my philosophy on all this... well said!
