Should I mine Raptoreum? Is it worth the effort?


For me personally, the answer to those questions is "no, not at all". My CPUs (a tenth/eleventh generation i5 and a sixteen-year-old i7) simply aren't powerful enough to produce decent hashrates, even when working together. (I'm getting an average of about 1.2Kh on a good day, since Monday last week. Just to be breaking even, given how expensive my electricity is, I'd need an average hashrate of at least 5Kh. To make a profit, I'd need at least 10Kh, preferably closer to 20Kh). I also don't have the money to shell out for Ryzen 9 5*-series or i9 CPUs (since I'd need to buy mobos and RAM as well if I were to go with a desktop/tower rig). However, if anyone does have such gear and electricity is cheap for you, I strongly suggest you check out the output of the Raptoreum Mining calculator and decide if mining RTM is right for you, since you could potentially bring in up to $6.00 USD worth of RTM a day. YMMV, of course, depending on other costs (including electricity and pool fees).

The content of this blog is exclusively to do with online privacy/security, cryptography and cryptocurrency: Understanding it, investing in it, mining it (in groups/crowds), developing/programming it, the social problems it aims to solve and the various ways to make more of it (or not, as various losses and failures happen). Let's get away from banksters, Capitalists and fiat, to an unbanked anarcho-syndicalist commune. || Banner image: Blogger's own.
