The title says it all. I have my hands on a single 970 now and i am not paying for any power.

can you suggest me a coin to mine? I think ETH is not a god option for the 970 any more ;(

I found my data and I was making around $5-6 dollars a day and I think a 970 would make around $4.71

It's about $10 a day. I made 1.01 ETH in a month.

 

Edit: About 34 days, actually.

ETH is becoming harder, so I wouldn't even bother right now. I stopped because there's no real reason for me continuing.

If you're calculating today, it'll likely be using today's measures versus a few months ago.

You get basically no money from this though. LBRY hasn't caught on yet. 

I was making around $150 a month which isn't exactly no money

Even though a single LBRY credit is worth about 30 cents right now? What are you mining on?

It was like 80 cents when I was mining so no. Probably should've checked that before telling people what to do....

I am still quite interested in what you were mining with to get that kind of money, because there's a chance that for you, mining ETH would be profitable.

I am doing ETH+Sia with 2x290 at the moment and getting round and about 150$ per month although burning loads of power.

I was thinking about switching them to an other coin to...
