How much could be profit for one month, with one GPU, GTX1080Ti.
20-30-40$???

Maybe and I start to mine with my Poseidon.
Than I could faster to replace GPU. I would like to replace on 2 years, only 250W class.
I could mine 12-16h daily.

The company has partnered with blockchain technology provider Quantumcloud, which has developed the mining software.

🤔
what does asus get outta this? profit sharing?

psst, Quantum, partner up with meh, you make software, i give branding. your profit, 50-50 split, kays?
wait, i better read on!

There is also no mention of how much gamers can earn – and whether ASUS or Quantumcloud will keep any cut from their mining profits. We’ve asked ASUS about this and we’ll update our piece when we hear back.


ha ha ha.
ain't nobody does jack **** out of their goodwill nowdays.
no siggy, saw stuff that made me sad.

Gamers do get a cut. One site estimates a GTX1070 generates maybe $10/month, no guarantees. You pay for your own electricity and bandwidth, of course.

But burn out GPU cards faster ... then buy more GPU cards ... profit for ASUS already built-in even before they take a cut, some of the niche upgrades every time an upgrade is available but there's still holdouts who'll use old GPU cards for years and years, lol.

Nothing below 40-50$ is not worth even to think about.
I would payed 35 euro electric bill with mining 24/7 with one GPU.

But because parents pay electric bills to most people than it's so popular.
I thought maybe is more money and could help us to faster replace new platform.
I don't need new GPU at the moment, but I would like i9-9820X and Apex and Heatkiller IV Pure Black with Universal VRM block..
