do you know how much power your system draws? curious as my number is profit based, not revenue (aka w/o electricity costs)
would be 313.5 without, roughly, and at current prices.

1900 watts at the wall so around $300 a month but I only started 2 months ago so I don't have a big sample size. .20 per kwh

I lied I forgot I have a single card in a random desktop so add another 200ish watts cause it's a 1080 ftw and haven't tuned it yet


All my cards are 70% power and overclocked and some undervolted.

And my range is .0032-.004 btc per day depends on demand and how alts are doing etc


Also remember to pay income tax on your earnings. You can write off a bunch of stuff on schedule c of your tax return

not hard, do it once and repeat for how many rigs you want :)
any specific questions?

yes
my miner draws 970w 24/7 @ .14 kwh = $100ish/month
my miner miners .66 Ethereum per month = $313.50ish
my profit = $213.50ish

my power drawn can be lowered if I used different cards and ran them more efficiently.
if i did it all again, I would get gtx 1060's instead of a mix of 480's and 580's

What gpus are best for mining atm. Ethereum or w/e. Bitcoin isn't worth mining anymore is it? So why do people mine it?

I still have 3 7970s I want to put to use.
