So an additional ~90c per day elec. It's just under €8 net at current prices, but was higher earlier in the month. edit: price jumped back up, profit is close to €8.50/24hr
Calibos wrote: » Jaysus €8.50 Net per day is about €260 a month or €3100 in a year (I know it can fluctuate wildly)!! Are you mining Bitcoin or Ethereum? Knowing my luck I get the PC at the end of the month or first week of May just after a crash or that change in 'Difficulty' thing I heard something about. If the card ended up paying for itself in under a Year, I'd be laughing!!......and the lads here calling me crazy or a 'fool and their money'......wouldn't. (Its adding €2300 (for Strix 3090. Zotac 3090 on PCS is €2100) to the build cost so at current Mining Net profit it would pay for itself in just about 9 months) Given my plans to make the PC a Wireless VR game streaming and Steam Remote Play game streaming server for myself and my brother in our Flat next door, 24/7 accessible with WOL, well I don't mind it Mining in all the non gaming hours of the day. Wouldn't have to worry about setting up WOL for a year anyway I presume the Mining software can automatically shut down/restart when you use/or stop using the PC for more conventional uses? I'd have to spend some time setting up some fan profiles to keep the thing as cool but also as quiet as possible as the PC would be in my bedroom. So Yeah! I might PM you in a month or so when I get the PC If you don't mind, to get a more detailed low-down/how-to or at least point me in the right direction to get that info. Feel free to ignore that PM though if you are too busy/couldn't be arsed. I won't be offended.

Calibos wrote: » Looked it up and the individuals €1270 CGT exemption applies before the 33% CGT on profits kicks in. In other words I could mine for 5 months at current daily net profit rates before crossing that threshold. Thats half the card paid for, and the crazy S/H prices for my GTX1080 & RTX2060 paying for the other half. Free RTX3090. Depending on net profit levels at the 5 month mark or the taxation/paperwork hassles once the CGT threshold was crossed would determine whether I continued to mine with the card. I think the whole CGT issue is not really relevant to the likes of me mining on one GPU to help pay it off and more relevant to more serious miners with actual multi GPU Mining setups looking to earn serious monthly income from Mining.

Wheres your 90c coming from? My calculation method is obviously wrong. LOL. I suppose an easier method would be just to add 25% (your 15c/kwh v my 20c/kwh) to your 90c per day additional lecky cost. ie. 90c+22c=€1.12 per day additional lecky cost for me....and subtract 22c from your €8.50 a day Net profit = €8.28 for me?? Would that be about right?
