Just go to the site and put in the numbers please.

Edit: I know you won't do it, so here you go. http://imgur.com/a/xqLfS $12,500 profit in 12 months

You spent almost 14k on cards and that doesn't even count all the other rig parts.

You are going to work your rear end off for the Ethereum man like a real life miner and never even pay off the cards. Don't say "but the price will increase". If the price will increase, you should just go buy coins.

what if it turns out aliens are using signals broadcast by SETI as seed values for their own cryptocurrency? I think people should really be concerned about getting thrown in space jail for running SETI@Home.

SETI doesn't broadcast.

I don’t get it, aren’t you actually wasting the storage? Because it’s locked up in the blockchain plots or whatever. It seems an interesting alternative to wasting a shitload of electricity I guess

Isn't unused storage just as wasted as storage filled with blockchain plots? Unless he bought disks specifically for this, that space was wasted anyway, so you might as well get some money off it.
