I think you're into 'schum mishtake schurely' territory ...

Using an online mining calculator, assuming you have two top spec 1070Ti
GPUs capable of 60MH/s together, that are free because you borrowed
them, and burning 500W of power at 14p/kWh, at current BTC difficulty
and reward rates, you're losing $2.40/day

Nicehash also seems to have a 5% service fee for you selling your GPU to
them, plus a 0.0005 BTC fee for transferring from their wallet to your
wallet, then whatever fees it would cost you to buy hard pounds or
dollars from your wallet.
