I really wanted to get into mining BTC for awhile now and I see that ETH has a good reward rate relative to BTC. I pay no electricity so there probably is no reason not to, right? Does the GPU get worn down a lot? I have a 980 TI.

The 900 series is not really worth using but since you pay nothing for elect I City you might make a few bucks over the month. All depends on your hash rate and what pool you’re in. My gtx 1080 pulls about 20mhs and at the current price that’s close to 60-70 dollars a month.

Isn't that a bit low for a 1080? I'm only asking because I know for sure that a 1060 does 19MH/s. What pool are you in?

1080 isn't as good as the 1060/1070 due to the type of memory used. Excellent for gaming, not quite the best for mining. I can probably get it up a little more if I overclocked but I'd rather not.

Im using nanopool right now.

Oh that's cool! I did not know that.
