You would probably make more money doing webcam porn then crypto mining

that means I'm not folding for LTT though.. I only have one folding rig

It's not as if mining would earn LTT medals, though....

I'd feel like a traitor folding for EVGA when I'm an active member of LTT, they can stuff their bucks, even if it means i miss out on a new backplate

1st world problems here...

 

I don't even fold anymore, so I don't really mind. That software is just too awfull for me. Currently hunting gold medal in Boinc, it'll take a while, but I get there eventually.

You got a serious build right there, how don't you parents or yourself have enough money 0_o

Open your eyes and break your chains. Console peasantry is just a state of mind.

Your parents are still going to pay for the power(even if they can fit it in the solar reserves that just means they're selling less back to the electricity company which is in itself a loss). At the very least ask their permission first.

I tried mining scrypt altcoins like DOGE, FTC etc. in a pool.

The worth of those coins I got are about $1 USD after a few weeks of on and off mining on a HD 7850 whenever I'm AFK.

It's not worth it already 1+ year ago, it'll just going to get worse by the minute.

 

There are a lot of other stuff you can do to earn some pocket money with your PC but it will need you to do actual work.

Almost anyone has access to a computer. You can't really make any considerable amount of money by running some software.

 

If you absolutely want to just make money with your computer's resources, you can try to rent them out on websites.

Even then, the amount wouldn't be significant.

miningrigrentals.com and nicehash.com are a couple of example.
