I decided to try mining to see what it's like, it was fairly easy to set up a (Monero) XMR miner. Since around noon, I've made about 30 cents, or 0.0006012423 XMR
I'm guessing if you want to be serious with this crap you really need to optimize your equipment. I spoke to someone else who is doing the same using their gaming PC, their hash rate is about 1.5K/sec, and they told me in a month they mined 0.6XMR, or about $300. My hash rate is 600/s, (I'm using a 1060) but still $150/month wouldn't be too bad. The only thing is I imagine by the time I convert from XMR to who knows what, to bitcoin, to actual money I'll probably be left with about 10 cents because of all the damn fees.
