Compared to investments in real estate and businesses, the ROI is MUCH faster. You can get your money back in about a year depending on your electricity costs.

If they coin you're mining goes belly up you can just switch to mining something else. And if things don't workout you can always sell your GPUs to gamers.

Whats the catch? Crypto dying out all together?

Never stopped expanding even though the gpu drought of early '18. Just had to dig deep for the deals. So many people tried to convince others you were better off putting money directly into crypto. If you had listened to that bullshit during the bullring you'd be up if you were smart n cashed out quickly but I'd bet most are down 70-90%. Been mining random altcoins early since June last year and ever rig pays itself off in a few months. Do feel bad for the herds of mindless drones that flood /r/ethermining though. Theyll be in the red for a while.

With a 1070 Ti after electricity costs you'll make about a dollar a day (assuming an average 0f .09/kwH).

Doesn't sound like a lot but if you have 8 of them that's about $2920 a year. If you aren't paying for electricity then you're making about $3880 a year.

And thats assuming the price of whatever coin you're mining stays constant meaning if you convert it into BTC and it goes up over the year you'd make a lot more.

you understand that anything can be made into a asic.

an asid is the same thing as a gpu. its just more effecient. and does specifically what its made to.

asicmining is the future. its good dont run from it, its actually the best way to secure your blockchain

>> No.10268088

>>10268039
What's your point?
That only means they are making more profit than you, but that doesn't mean you can't also make a profit (even though its substantially smaller).

Its like saying why day trade stocks if people on wall street pay millions of dollars just to be able to make trades 1 millisecond faster.

>> No.10268108

>>10268078
Of course you can make anything into an asic. However you can't do that without investing time and money into research and development.

The whole point of the algorithms I described is to make them resistant by updating the hashing algorithm to make the asic miner obselete. Look up how Monero does this and it'll make sense.

>> No.10268129

>>10268108
why would you want to make an algo resistant to asic?

and make asic miner obselete?

the whole idea is to use asics as a form of security.

monero is totally different. try to run a light node, its taking a different approach by having a race updating when asics come out. but whats the point? also its centralizes monero that way.

why not let the asics help secure you system and keep it truly decentralized?

do you not understand how crypto works?

I mined all of my shit last May and sold off the rig at the peak for a nice profit. I realized I could reliably make more from trading/staking than I could running the rig. I do want to jump back into it though if I can get better cards at a decent price.

Right now is a better time to buy than january that's for sure, but then again new gpus might be around the corner and we know that volta is capable of doing 88mhs ethereum which might be a game changer since it is twice the current top dog vega 64 at 44mhs.

I want some more gpus though..

Producer develops ASIC.
His ASIC is best.
Majority of all ASICS are from one producer, amking him basically a monopolistic and non-substitutable factor on the market.
Producer also mines himself and controls a major share of the overall hashrate.

Yeah... ASICS "decentralize"...

master miner here
i've been mining tether and link for the past few years. i've learned how to harness the power of the sun and use solar panels to drastically increase mining power. I probably mine about $5k a day between link and tether. I can mine bitcoin at 900 TH/s but it's more profitable to mine tether and link. Stay poor /bizzers!

I just do not believe these numbers and it is completely dependent on the price of power in your area. Not to forget cooling your house, while running these little radiators. Even while the price of crypto plummets, you guys aren't making money. In fact some of you people are losing money.
This only works in situations where you are living in a situation where you aren't paying for electricity. The average person can't do this effectively
