Is there anyone on here from the UK who could confirm if you make a profit with wafflepool? (and you pay for your electricity). Im only small time mining at about 5mhs using 5 r9 290x's for the past 4 weeks and the most I have made in a week of 24/7 mining is £17 profit with my electricity costs at £0.13 pkw/h. Id like to continue but this is not worth heating my shed and degrading my cards for that kind of return. Thank you

I'm in London, UK.  My electricity costs me £0.1155 per kWh plus a £0.35 daily charge.  I mine at about 2.5 mh/s and estimate my electricity costs about £3 every day.  I probably make about £4 a day (even less the last few days since BTC dropped in value).  So there's your answer.  £1 per day in profit.  Hardly worth it, but I'm doing this hoping that BTC (and other alt-coins) will go up in the future, not for immediate gains.  A massive risk of course, but hey, we'll see.

EDIT: forgot to mention heating.  My rig's actually been heating my flat since early January when I began this whole thing.  I actually switched my heating off soon after, so there's a small saving there too.

Thanks, I may switch it off and monitor bc value etc and see it picks up. Thats a nice bonus regarding savings on your heating but we know that the heat comes with noise and my missus would not allow that lol

I'm in Northern Ireland, electricity costs me ~ £0.12 and still making some profit.
During winter  I'd estimate ~£500 of heating oil saved as have rigs distributed around the house and use them as heating. (I'm mainly on 270s so pretty quiet).

HTH,
