Maybe 1-2 bitcoins a week depending on how long you run it for? I'm not very good with calculations. --- End quote --- nonstop? how much is one bitcoin worth? --- Quote from: Tyler66 on March 11, 2013, 11:02:28 PM ---CPUs are slow miners.

A year ago they were worth around $5 I think? Now they are $40-$45. And yes you would be running it continually and it would take up your whole gpu power so that you couldn't play games. I can still browse and stuff while mining though. Edit: I'm pretty sure in 1-2 weeks it will go up to $45-50 in price. |
