Title: Bitcoin/USD exchange rate going up. Anyone turning old gear back on?
Post by: helipotte on November 04, 2015, 04:55:10 AM
I have some (alot) of 1w/Gh gear.  High power bills be damned, I am turning it back on!  Going to be a really warm winter.

Anybody else doing this?  At this rate, I might even dust off my underclocked singles. :D

I'm sure there are some who will do this.  Some justify paying more as the heat is there.  But at price now see on BTC value no doubt more old gear online.

As a general rule I suggest selling old gear if not using it.  They bring a little more ROI hopefully by doing this.  The lose value if you sit them there unplugged.

I'm not only turning on my old gear. I am overclocking all my gear to the MAX!

i don't hve any equipments anymore, sold everything, the despair phase lasted too long, and with those efficienty i would be at loss even with the current price, probably, or a very tiny profit

not worth it, also mining in the room where i sleep is not very healthy
