Mine 1 Siacoin SC Per Month
Maybe 20 would be good? I have nothing to go by to tell how much that is. I can certainly experiment with it when I get the laptop. And as I said, the computer will already be on so almost nothing would be better than nothing. Especially if there is a price surge in the future. And I do want to help the cause too. Besides, my roommates girlfriend pays the electric bill. Build Litecoin LTC Miner there.
But as far as i know siacoin is very hard to mine. Each miner will mine approximately 150,000 SC a month. When people are mining millions per month. Storing 1TB on Sia costs about $2 per month, compared with $23 on Amazon S3. Renters pay using Siacoin, which can also be mined and traded. Calculate your savings. Open the 'Hosting' page in the UI and copy the new price into the field 'Price per TB per Month (SC)'.
I don't want to crank it full blast at her expense but if the increase is modest I'm not concerned with that. It's the price they have to pay for using up almost all of the free space in the freezer/fridge/pantry/bathroom. If the goal is to make money, no you're going to end up spending more on electricity and ear and tear on the laptop than you'll ever get back mining. Sia coin mining is based around something called Proof of Work.
To mine more coins, you need to throw more hardware at it. At this point the minimum that's worth using is a graphics card from a desktop PC costing several hundred dollars like a GTX 1060. This is different to forging in ardor which as far as I understand it, uses a different approach called Proof of Stake.
To get more coins, you stake more of your coins. Having more coins here increases the number of coins you'll get back through forging. It doesn't have intense and increasing hardware and energy requirements like proof of work systems so you don't need special graphics cards to do it. If the goal is to learn more about how all this works, go for it.
If you really care about the Long term simply buy all the dips. Mining is not profitable. At least not short term so might as well buy and hold. You need 50000 SC to be able to mine.
Factor in the price for your computer, How much electricity it is consuming. And it makes absolutely no sense. Instead of sacrificing $430 to have to give away 500 per TB/M to them, you might as well save up what you will make per day which will be nothing less than a dollar and simply make monthly purchases at an exchange and hold it until it hits.35 then sell.
You will have around $50k USD if you just stick to the strategy. Only big investment is the first $430. After that invest around $30/month and in a year or 2 see that investment turn into 50k. Good luck • • • •.
