The one pictured is an older miner, the Bitmain Antminer L3+. It's making about $1 a day, not counting electricity, just on DOGE, but it also merge mines LTC and others that mine scrypt. I just focus on DOGE and LTC. I bought a different miner though that is way more efficient on power as I am going to be running it on a solar setup.

$1 a day is much better than a 4GB gfx setup, I think it would consume around 50-100watt.
Yeah, without spending money on electricity, I will be making around $2 a day on the miner. I am ordering a big enough battery that should be able to handle it. If not, I'll do an automatic transfer switch in the future.
Yeah, most older cards aren't making much these days. I think both my 580 and 480 calculated to earn a combined .40 a day on Ravencoin... So these DOGE miners are really the way to go for a small setup these days.
Electricity costs a lot in there, almost half the profit + equipment costs additional.
Yep, the difficulty level has been increased so far, and making a good profit is an old day story.
Also, as long as I am breaking even on the power costs, then I am still hitting my goal of trading electricity for crypto. It's not all about profits. I would rather earn my coins than buy them from a centralized exchange.
Sorry for a late response kinda super busy in website building these days.
Yes, earning is more fun then buying and waiting for prices to lift up. I used to mine a coin on my gaming pc, but left doing so after joining Hive.
no problem! I still tinker with some sites myself, just not in any real way. Got tired of pleasing unpleasable people.
Just ignore them, that is the best way to treat them and they will sure know their worth. :)
Yeah, that's why I am building the solar system. The grid is expensive where I am too. I'll have to run a few hours a day on the grid, but maybe not too much if I get the big ass batteries I am looking at and expand to more panels and go to 24V in the future.
