I got 0.01384 ETH in 22 hours of nonstop running.
but looks like ya'll are mining something else? I thought Ethereum was the best?

If you want Eth, the mine Eth. If you want money, use Nicehash Miner and let it do the work for you across multiple algorithms. Probably won't go faster, but it'll make your life easier.

I went to ethermine.org and myetherwallet. I got all my addresses/keys/file there. Can I use them on these other sites as well? Don't know Nicehash I'll download it now and mess around.
From what I learned, Nicehash automatically turns everything into Bitcoin, so what do I do with my current Ethereum? It's now 0.01404 ETH

So if myetherwallet has ETH, can I send that to my Lumo Wallet address? Lumo only seems to track BTC?

They're thinking of implementing ETH at some stage apparently, Luno. For now it's BTC only. So you'd have to exchange the ETH for BTC on an exchange first...
So checked now and after running since yesterday morning (almost 24 hours) my wallet is on just under $3 (I'm running NiceHash). I know it a long game 
On a side note:
Those dedicated machines that sell for R20k upwards (or building my own), how much do they actually make per day/week/month. Trying to understand if it worth having a dedicated machine in my garage or somewhere I won't hear it and let it go 24/7.

Good luck getting stock though
Thanks for the link.
Doesn't really mention the average you can make daily/weekly/monthly - do you have any idea?

The Nicehash website has a profitability calculator for each card.
Yeah I've seen that. Are they accurate? Also if I got 2x a certain card, do I just double the profit?

Yes and yes as far as I am aware

Perfect thanks.
Remember, it's per card. It obviously doesn't take into account the power usage of the rest of the system. I think in the updated beta site you can specify the power usage yourself.

Its accurate at the time you do the test. As to your second question, yes
I've been reading about power usage etc - does it really affect your monthly power usage that much even if your pc was already running 24/7 and if so by how much (more or less)?
If your PC was running 24/7 at full tilt, then it will likely be pretty much the same, but this is unlikely, considering idle times, etc. So even if it was running 100%, it wasn't running at 100%.
I've been looking for a way to calculate the actual draw on the wall, and I haven't been able to do so without getting some fancy-shmancy tools. Best I did was run it through a UPS, and the draw from the UPS when I kick off the miners jumped to about double of the idle usage (From 13% draw to around 30% draw).
Ok so it's not going to cause my electricity per month to go up by half or even double? It seems it might only be a small increase which is fine.
