    Google "bitcoin mining calculator". But note that even if it looks like you could mine one bitcoin in 1 000 to 10 000 years, in reality difficulty will go up during that time. You will probably be unable to ever reach the pool's minimum cash out amount, so you get nothing. Also there is the problem of staying alive for thousands of years.

  • These days a 1 TH/s ASIC machine is a small start for a mining-at-home operation.

No, you can't. The days of GPU mining Bitcoins are long past.

    There really isn't any form of mining today that's likely to be profitable on hardware not chosen specifically for efficient mining. Your hardware is common, commodity hardware. Even if your electricity is free and you don't mind the heat, is the wear on your hardware worth the $1/month (being absurdly generous) you might get?

    @danial, there is info about it, but it's from 3+ years ago when CPU/GPU mining was actually worth it. The world has moved on and doing it now is a waste of your time and useless wear and tear on your machine.
