Less than £2 per card might not be much if you only have 2 cards but when you have 10 cards it's still about £500 with £95 electricity costs and you do not have to babysit it all day.

It got down to £4 a day for the whole rig on Nicehash when I turned it off - 2 Vegas and 2 580s all doing Cryptonight and using £1.85 a day in electricity. I've turned it back on doing ETN now because I was cold! It makes a surprising difference to the temperature upstairs and proportionally how hard the heating has to work.

One 580 stops responding after a couple of hours and if I force cast-xmr to stop (because it won't quit cleanly), it crashes the whole rig, resets all the overclock settings and has to be rebooted. Vegas are a pain after a reboot as I'm sure you know. I re-seated all the risers earlier and fired it up again with a single 580 and its still going after a few hours so fingers crossed its just the risers. I should really hot-glue them in to the slots as I've had problems with them before.
Since its not really earning anything of note, I've nothing to lose having a play with some other algos to see what else it can do
