A Crypto Miner's Journey

Notes & Occasional Rants of a Cryptocoin Miner Newbie

Earnings Update (September 2017)

September was quiet for my little Bitcoin kingdom. Without changes to my hardware (1×GTX 1080 running 22/7 and 2×GTX 1070 + 1×GTX 970 running 24/7), daily profitability has predictably dropped from an average daily of 0.00175 Ƀ in August to an average daily of 0.00145 Ƀ in September (-17%).

SegWit Works and Fees Drop — For Real

I wrote on a couple of occasions previously about the cost of Bitcoin transaction fees after SegWit went live on 23. August. I kept updating my article Bitcoin Transaction Fees after SegWit2x Lock-In with data from bitcoinfees.21.co to follow the trend. After about a week — on 30. August — I wrote: Transaction fees have not yet subsided… Read More SegWit Works and Fees Drop — For Real

Earnings Update (August 2017)

With regards to earnings, not a lot has happened since my interim August update. In summary, here is what happened for me this month: I purchased two Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 boards at what looked like a semi-reasonable price (although it decreased a bit further afterwards due to the weakening of the USD…) As that would… Read More Earnings Update (August 2017)
