You'd lose money. ASIC mining is where it's kinda at.

[Zefues]

I hear it is a waste of money.

[Paralectic]

You'll need 100's of asic miners when others pay the bill to profit. atleast

[Guest]

You'd lose money on electricity unless you took this to ridiculous heights

[CydiaDash]

You'll lose money.. so nothing really

[Enderman]

you would make negative money because your power bill would be 10x more than what you get from mining

 

so unless you own an asic, youre not going to make any benefit

[kameshss]

It's a waste of money.

 

You need to have several asic miners for getting good amount of profit.

[Agent181]

not a lot

all this said, dont use school computers for mining without the school's permission.

B) found a use for my university's 100ish quad core xeons

Bitcoin mining even on ASICs is totally worthless.

Scrypt mining can be slightly profitable, but just to break even you have to have balls/ovaries of cast iron and economic prowess bordering on precognition. For most average people, it's not a good idea nowadays. You can get good hashrates if you have an AMD GCN-based graphics card, but don't even try if you have an Nvidia card.

Some people have made decent amounts of money doing it, but that's like saying some people on the stock market have made lots of money, or people at casinos have made lots of money. The chances of you making it in the scrypt mining market are slim, especially if you don't have a seven-290X setup (which requires over 2300W of power)

and then get kicked off and have a criminal record 

 

I would avoid that ( idk about the US, but in the EU that would be a big thing )

now calculate how much money the power bill was.

rather not not my electricity so all profit for me

Mining Ethereum you could get around $39 USD a month or $1.30 USD a day. This is based on if you get 17Mhs which most 970s are (from what I've heard). I used this calculator: http://etherscan.io/ether-mining-calculator and found the hashrate here: https://forum.ethereum.org/search?Search=gtx+970

Enought to make you quit mining and never think about it again. If it was that easy to just get a program and magicaly make money, you can bet global economy would be ruined already

I dont pay my bill mudafucka

My mum does.

[Centurius]

Yes, so the taxpayer is going to foot the bill so you could make the money in an entire summer that would take a couple of hours with a real job.

Then in the end you still pay the bill because every dollar your parents are spending on the power bill is one less they have available. Your parents aren't infinite money machines.
