In my case (remember I was running it on an 8 year old laptop, not the ideal set up lol) my comp ran hard, lot of heat, fans hdd being pushed hard. That is why I stopped.
If you have a decent desktop with agood gpu and decent cooling setup I am sure it would work much better, but remember it uses a lot of power/electricity.
I know some ppl that mined BTC early on and spent more on electricity than what they got in BTC....but that BTC is now worth a fortune, so it was a very good move lol. It is hard to say how much you can make with such volatile prices.
I appreciate the respond my friend. My room mate has a brand new computer and was looking for something to do on it besides porn I guess lol....What coin did you mine when you tried?
Haha, I think it was Monero (XMR)
i have two old laptops im going to try this on. they are toast anyway so i don't care if they burn.
Now saying that. I should prob put them out side in a shed :D :D
Haha, it would be interesting to see how long you could run it without an system failures.
I wonder how many had a load of bitcoins, spent ages mining them, but then just before they would have made them millions they sold them.
I am sure a decent amount. A lot of ppl also lost Bitcoins
