While I'm not gaming, I leave it connected to my Mac Mini mining (I setup auto run, overclocked a bit, etc to be more profitable). They pay you in Bitcoin.Īnd that's what I'm doing, I bought my eGPU for gaming. Of course you earn a little less BUT you also don't have to watch the marked 24/7 to point your GPU to mine the right coin. Basically you mine the most profitable coin at the time and you don't have to know what coin its mining.
There's this company called that makes mining easy. So with our eGPUs its still profitable to mine those coins. For some of those, mining is still profitable. There are other coins that are almost like bitcoin, but there's a different algorithm for mining. Cool.īitcoin mining ain't profitable for regular people anymore (there are companies that have a huge HUGE mining power), so its not profitable for us normal people anymore.
You know bitcoin right? There's 'mining', which consists of putting a machine to work on an algorithm to 'mine' or 'discover' bitcoins. Ok, let me explain really quick and you can do your homework later: this could be nice paying the eGPU itself eh eh I know software like dnet but didn't know you can actually make money.
