Bitcoin can't be mined even with graphic cards any more. You need specialized hardware (ASICs). The current total hash rate of Bitcoin is over 10^18 hashes per second which is insanely high. However, it's still profitable and relatively easy to mine on other public blockchains with graphic cards because the hashing algorithm is ASIC resistant (like Ethereum).
You could make a couple hundred bucks a month with 6 graphic cards. Check out https://whattomine.com/ https://whattomine.com/
- iak8god 9y agoI've been poking around the last couple of days trying to figure out how likely one is to at least break even on a ~$1500 "investment" for the 6 GPUs and barebones components required to run them. My conclusion is: who the hell knows, but it'd probably be a lot easier to just put $1500 into Ether. It seems like mining is riskier without much potential extra reward.
