Although I cannot answer your question specifically, please understand that your task is completely academic.. meaning that you task will teach you, and help learn/understand the process, but not benefit you financially in any way.

Please don't take this the wrong way.. I was GPU mining back when difficulty was 12 Million, and 10 GPUs would net about 1 bitcoin every two weeks... plus or minus as machines kept dying in the summer heat.. Difficulty is currently 59 Billion, 335 Million, 351 thousand, and change.., or significantly higher than my example... Today, those 10 GPUs would only net me pennies, per month.. The only benefit would be to offset the heat cost in the house, or educational.

If your goal is educational, I'm sure several people on the forum would gladly donate old mining gear to you for the cost of shipping -- and you would burn far less electricity than a GPU, and be able to dive right in to Asic history.

If your goal is to obtain bitcoin, it's best just to buy it.

Ohh wow didn't know the difficulty was that high :\ Guess that's the issue then
Yeah I'm just doing it out of curiosity to learn, really? that would be awesome!
Thanks for the info
