and i want to know how much bitcoins will it generate for me ? + ( what the hell is a difficulty ,? ) Title: Re: Help !! a bitcoin newbie :p Post by: craslovell on November 28, 2015, 09:19:42 AM You're projected to make 2.91 BTC in a year with an s5 at current difficulty. Difficulty is increasing rapidly though most likely because of all of the new s7s coming online. If you do but one, plan to be in it for the long run and that you can afford whatever increase this has in your electricity bill. It's about $42 a month in electricity at 10 cents per KwH
Title: Re: Help !! a bitcoin newbie :p Post by: fd Abdou on November 28, 2015, 09:24:24 AM well , will the amount go up and down with days ?
Title: Re: Help !! a bitcoin newbie :p Post by: craslovell on November 28, 2015, 09:29:08 AM I doubt difficulty will be going down any time soon. Power efficiency of equipment is key at this point. That's why the s7 is great at nearly 5TH/s for only 1200 watts of power
Title: Re: Help !! a bitcoin newbie :p Post by: ranochigo on November 28, 2015, 09:33:00 AM well , will the amount go up and down with days ? Difficulty changes approximately every 2 weeks so you have to wait till then for a decrease or increase in earnings. There is a fairly accurate estimate of the next increase here: https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty. Difficulty is increasing rather fast right now due to the rise in price so I doubt you would be guaranteed any profits at this point.Title: Re: Help !! a bitcoin newbie :p Post by: notlist3d on November 28, 2015, 10:08:19 AM guy i want to buy a antminer s5 1th/s and i want to know how much bitcoins will it generate for me ? + ( what the hell is a difficulty ,? ) What is price the guy offered you to sell it for?
