So I've set up a worker on my PC using GUIMiner and using Slush's pool(
http://mining.bitcoin.cz). The program says I'm getting 26 Mhash/sec(Nvidia 8800 GT). Which would make me 0.05 BTC/24h(0.88$), minus the 3% commissions. My increase in electric bill would be higher then what I make.
Am I missing something here?
Only certain pieces of hardware are able to profit from Bitcoin mining; please take a look at
The most used cards are the ATI HD 6xxx and 5xxx series.
