Bit coin mining with a single GPU is one of the lamest jokes I've heard this year.

Well,you can build a time machine,go back to 2007 and then use your GPU.If you manage to do this,you will become one of the richest guys in the whole world…!

nicehash using the Blake2s 1.72 GH/s 0.00 GH/s (0.00%) 0.0001 BTC/day 0.00017539 BTC


i am overclocking the card to +150 on the afterburner and that is only the cores clock since the memory clock is locked.

maybe blake2s is using a different algorithm than most miners use and in a couple hays i made 0.00022074 btc and i should be breaking $1 later today

probably wont be richest but it seems to be better than hashflare.

hashflare running 110 ghs and only made half of that in 3 times the time at a lot more cost.

I am all ears! New to bitcoins, mostly learning now, but I do believe that bitcoin will become more and more popular. I've been browsing through random articles on the subject: they say there will come a time when we will be able to buy properties using bitcoins https://tranio.com/world/analytics/how-t...rket_5405/. I thought it's already possible to pay with bitcoins? Are they wrong?

The Bitcoin exchange rate is completely unstable due to speculations. As long as that problem is not solved, no economic success willl occur.

Besides Bitcoin mining is one huge waste of energy, converting precious electricity into virtual whatever.

Agreed about the waste of energy. And if you're going to do it, get an ASIC which will be far more efficient than a GPU https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/mining/hardware/

And even that is a dead horse. With difficulty rising FAST and high energy costs you will already have problems to get your investment back.
