So hypothetically speaking..if I ran an extension cord from my neighbors outside power box to lets say a shed in the backyard and I invested in a ~$300usd XFX 7950 gpu with a lifetime warranty at around 600-700 kh/s would it be worth mining dogecoin that I could sell ~$2/1k? I would estimate around 4k+ dogecoins running 24/7 so that would be around $8/day on a hypothetical dbag's electricity. Oh and also I got a gen2 mombo with 2 pcie slots, and 2gbs ddr2 mem, with 600watt psu. Would it be worth it?  

 

edit: oh ya also runs off his wifi.

Don't do it. It is wrong and illegal. Just use your own power, that or ask the neighbor.

You really won't. Don't spread false information.

with a 7750 he should make more money with litecoin than dodgecoin. It is a matter of power cost and hardware.

Dgc is almost 2x the profit daily of litecoins,  I make about ~13$ a day mining dgc, whilst litecoins are only 8$
