you guys must not be looking at the right coins, x4 7950 and x4 280x's and handful of cpus net me currently 0.033 btc a day.

I don't buy this for a second, ive mined everything there is, x11-15, cryptonote, cryptonite,xgm, xpm, renting at a premium, and my power is cheap at 0.11.
If there was some super secret coin no one knows about rental prices would spike.

I've got 35 gpus running mostly 290's and a few 280x, and today I will gross 18 dollars and net maybe 1, you're telling me your 4300% more profitable?

Or are you leaving out the part where you held coins and got lucky with a market pump? Or your power is free.

I recalculate and research everyday. Few weeks ago I was netting 10 with monero, then bcx broke it, then I mined xcn for a while, but the market cant handle my daily dumps, 8000 coins flushes the order book. Small market cap coins wont work for me. Everytime i sold xcn the price went down 20%

Right now the most money to be made is renting x11, dark diff dropped and rental prices doubled. I even spent 50 dollars last week on amazon ec2 trying profitable combinations.

[edit]
I checked your post history and if youre mining dash or sonic screwdriver, those wont work for me, daily volume of 800 dollars with a quick 1 day pump

on average with fluctuations i mine between 0.019-0.032 btc a day.
and my sha miner did
an average of 0.34 btc over a 4 day period when i had it on last.

just have to know what to mine and when to trade it and what to trade it for lol. btc is just the middle coin as there is always something better to invest in. Smiley

You also are using an sha256 asic and trading which both don't apply to this discussion

dash is quite profitable despite wallet issues, there is still enough trade volume via polo to move larger amount of coins. my sha miner dont count as thats not switched on, if you look back at my comment i mentioned gpu's and handful of cpu's with 0 mention of sha asic. besides dash provides more btc then most other coins out there. and i havent traded in awhile, havent bought anything in awhile so no btc being made there. just my gpus/cpus working and doing what they do best.

plus if you where really mineing XMR at current difficulty, counting in an aprox hash rate of about 750h/s per 290 and approx 600h/s depending on memory type you should be getting about 24-25khs on that algo, which at current nets 24.18 XMR per day at an exchange rate of approx 0.07 BTC or 23.68 USD per day. its not great but its still better then nothing and still a good amount of btc to hold onto for tradeing or holding for when BTC decides to return to former glory. also should point out the btc amount per day has dropped somewhat, but it only looks bad due to BTC's poor value atm.....

also if you mined dash, your approx hash rate should net you between 40-46 million dsh per day which trades in at between 28-40 XMR which counting the higher number counts for about 0.111 btc per day.

and my hash rate numbers are approx and taken via the russian xmr miner which does pull 812h/s at 1100/1690 and also at 1100/1500 depending on card type, those results are taken with hynix memory as well and it also only takes 0.7% fee where claymores now takes 2% i believe.

But what is your power consumption per card? I've read in the Claymore's miner topic there is approx 220-270W per GPU?

This means:
ie 250W per GPU and price 0,1 per kWh - 0,6$ for 24h
ie 550h/s on 280X makes 0.69 XMR with DSH mining or 0.6 XMR with XMR mining.

Calculating the prices at the moment that makes: 0.002 - 0.0025 BTC per day. Which at the current prices is around 0.7$.

Am I calculating right?
