Or the market crashes/becomes illegal in your country and you lose everything. using bit coin alone makes you looks like a cyber criminal to many.

it becoming illegal doesn't make it go away, it just gets traded under the table, yes collapsing is a possibility, but more countries are coming around to crypto then are outright banning it.

last year (so you can be sure it's LESS now) a 710 brought in about 3 cents a day, and don't say power costs don't matter to you electricity isn't free, it costs your parents or your landlord money and WILL cost them more then you will ever make from it.

 

and like I said PENNIES a day, say maybe 4 bucks a year if you are LUCKY.

200 watts is 4.8 Kw's a day or about 48 cents a day at 10 cents per KwH.

Go to Vegas instead. 

Better use of your money since you'll lose about the same amount but enjoy it more.

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

It’s not worth it, because if you drop the money on the equipment necessary to mine, the money you would pull in every month would be less than that of your power bill that your mining equipment uses. It’s soooo not worth it. 

I got a ps5 and a pc pretty ballin

Several THOUSAND DOLLARS and in 6 months the hardware will be WORTHLESS. Bitcoin Mining is done with ASIC's that basically become scrap metal once the next generation of ASIC is released. it will take a very long time if ever you recoup your investment.

 

your better options are to use your GPU in your computer to mine certain Alt coins then exchange said altcoin for Bitcoin to hold Bitcoin longterm. If you still want to spend money then buy more GPU's (this assumes you have very cheap, like sub 10 cents a KwH, Electricity) and earn more altcoins to exchange for Bitcoin, but even then you are looking at YEARS to earn your money back, better off just BUYING Bitcoin and holding it until the next peak in the bull market.

frack NO, a 710, you won't even cover power costs. you could sell that card and make more money then that thing will mine in 6 years (ignoring all the money you lose to power costs).

I'm sure they matter to your parents lel...

 

If your thread is any serious here is the TL:DR - a GT 710 will be "mining" forever without making a single bitcoin, it's literally a waste time and electricity and there is absolutely nothing fun about it... it'll just be the poor GT 710 at 100% cap usage serving no purpose and a static image at your screen for your to stare at.

To make it easy for you to understand, bitcoin and other coins are mined by performing a lot of computations.

Your video card is simply extremely slow, it would take you MONTHS to YEARS of computations on that video card to mine even 0.01 bitcoin.

 

Bitcoin mining is done with specialized chips called ASICs - with 50-100$ you can buy such a chip that plugs in a USB port on your PC and do way more work than your video card or computer.

For example, this 50$ usb miner will probably function as good as 50-100 gt 710 video cards, maybe even better, while using a few watts of power. Even so, it would probably take you 1-2 years to make those 50$ back in bitcoin mined... because even this 15 gh of processing power is very small.

you will NEVER EVER make back your money on those USB stick miners. those things are so horribly WEAK it's blind luck to even find a share, thats like trying to race a Bugatti on foot.

how much better is this one? how much moe profit would it make?

so how well wound a AMD Radeon RX 550 perform?

DON'T USE LOW END CARDS, NOTHING below a 470/570 is even worth looking at, Mining is a RACE to be the first one to find the answer, the weaker your hardware is the less likely it is to find the answer.

 

Just don't waste your money, with the way you are trying to approach this you will lose all our money.

about 1,000+ times SLOWER then the one he linked

 

the one you linked is in the 3-5 MH/s range

the one he linked is in the 15 GH/s range thats 15,000 MH/s

the current Antminer S17Pro is 53+ TH/s thats 53,000,000 MH/s
