No, it is in fact 5000 gridcoin for the 4.11 US dollars.

When you calculate the mining income, it's several orders of magnitude better than Bitcoin. Even 2 years ago, when Bitcoin prices were lower and it was easier to mine you couldn't mine nearly anything worth much, unless you had an ASIC or a top-end GPU. Also, I did miscalculate. I earned almost 9000 gridcoin, at the time of making the previous post I was upgrading the Gridcoin wallet software and syncing my blockchain, not all of my transactions were synced yet. Simple calculation reveals that this equals roughly 7.39 US dollars.

I own a relatively weak PC, so having mined that much just with idle CPU and GPU cycles is pretty amazing. I have a 4 core CPU at 3.6GHz (I always have one demanding application running, so pretty much 3), and a quite old nVidia graphics card.
