RE: Is GPU mining right for you, and how to get started.
Hey Brandon,
Nice post. It gives a good overview of how to get started, without bogging everything down with too much technical knowledge.
The only critique I can offer lies in your formatting and copy editing. The chunk of text in the middle should be broken down into multiple paragraphs, and watch for typos.
Thanks for your time on this. I found it very helpful .
One question. If I gave a single 860m, would it be worth it to set my computer to mine while sleeping?
Cheers
Hello, thanks for the reply. The 860m is a mobile GPU, so i'm assuming you are talking about a laptop. Typically, mining with laptops is not a good idea as these machines don't have the cooling in place to support the hardware running at max loads for an extended period of time. The GPU is also not very powerful, you'd make probably less then 50 cents a day. Bottom line, you'll probably end up killing your laptop before you get your money back.
Roger that, thanks for the heads up.
