out of curiosity, and if you don't mind sharing that info, how many bitcoins have you mined with 1 card in 6 months?

Did it pay for the electricity and the card itself at the current BTC price?

It earns about $6-10US/day, off surplus solar during the day and about 50c of grid electricity through the night.
