With current price, you make red numbers when mining. You can make almost double the DRK/day by renting your rig and buying at current price.
And with masternodes, getting 20% of miners payments ... What reason does one have to mine ? Except take it as a hobby project ?

True, but somebody has to do the mining, even if it is not profitable.

If I were a big DRK holder I would let a few GPUs run, just to help my DRK keep their value. Roll Eyes

For people who already have the graphics cards, mining X11 is the best choice, those without are probably better off buying few thousand dark coins and running master nodes. Least that is how my math works out.

I'm working on setting up master nodes now and contemplating buying more to setup even more, but I would really like to be able to run multiple masternodes from one server instead of having to rent a dedicated and splitting it into several VP servers.

That is a good plan, and I understand your profitability calculation.

All I am saying is: somebody has to do the mining. Might aswell everybody help a little bit, instead of hoping that someone else will be stupid enough to do the not so profitable thing.

With the low heat/power needed for mining why not run a few. I threw 2 cards into my server to mine since its running 24/7 anyways.
