can you give me an idea of howmany blocks one can mine with some sample hardware
Teddy,
Raster gave you an example and I would humbly add these thoughts:
In the crypto world patience matters. I have made a lot of profits because people dumped coins cheap that later became worth a lot of money.
The same thing applies to mining. If you start mining and stare at the screen and 1 hour later you're like wow nothing so far better try something else... I can tell you that you are on a difficult path to success.
Always remember that mining also hinges on a great deal of luck. Here I have more than 30 miners. Everything from i7 3770 all the way up to 6950X 10 core. Here is what is so astounding - 24 hours of mining right - 1 i7 3770 gets nothing at all and the miner sitting right next to it grabs 6 blocks! Why is this? And it will vary right so one day a miner gets 0-1 blocks the next day 4- blocks and so on. Some days I will see an i7 3770 get more blocks than a Ryzen 1800X!
Every time a block is released every mining node on the network is in a competitive race to get that block and only 1 miner wins that race. The thing is luck is also involved. When a block become available it is possible that a slower low hash miner will solve that block while a high hash miner fails to solve it.
This coin is designed for mass adoption, newbies and common people. We looked at GPU and ASICS coins and decided that the bar was too high for nearly most people. Who can afford to order Antminers? Who can afford to build GPU rigs with high dollar video cards that burn up quickly? We want any regular person with a PC to be able to click their mouse and obtain this coin via CPU mining and I think this is a wonderful goal.
What I can tell you is this. I can't tell you what an i7 3770 will mine because one day it gets 0 and another day it can grab 6 blocks. What I can tell you is that based on my mine here the lesser expensive computers mine less blocks over a period of a month however they also produce more ROI. A $400 i7 box actually makes a better return than a custom hand built 6950X box that cost over $3k. Sure the 6950X gets more blocks in a month but not enough more blocks to offset how much it costs, how much electricity is uses and how much heat it spits out.
I encourage you to mine this coin but in mining this coin be patient and give things time. Try solo mining for a bit and see how that does. Try the cluster and even the pool and see how those do. Once you have a firm grip based on experience then you are in a position to mine more effectively. Past that I will tell you this: This coin is going to be very heavily marketed and will gain in value. It also offers amazing gains from staking and also term deposit. What this means is that even a small quantity of mined coins can be multiplied and then when the value goes up you will see a very sweet profit. The name of the coin is ROI and this stands for Return On Investment. Rest assured we will do everything possible to make sure that this community does experience a return on investment for the effort and investment they place into this coin.
