That's the bit I don't see, two different calculators say you'll mine
0.000005 BTC per week = 4/100th of a penny with 54MH/s of GPU power

Exactly what amount in what currency have you earned? (if you don't mind
me asking)


What I can say is that the balance right now is 0.01078427 BTC.
Quantifying in £ is meaningless because of volatility. Could be £75 one
day and £100 the next: https://www.gdax.com/trade/BTC-GBP

Did not play with graphics cards until 2nd week in January, and a
variable number of them since then....so can't give objective info on
income per card.

Nicehash actually mines with various currencies (automagically selected)
but pays out BTC.

Intention is to keep it stable for February and get a proper measure of
income versus energy usage. Also want to investigate the alleged
benefits of using a newer PC with SSD (which will no doubt involve a
whole day of fannying about) before that.

Of course it's all one bubble burst away from having been a pointless
exercise. Under no illusions here.
