Title: Bitcoin coins close to reach new heights Post by: pjmis on October 12, 2017, 05:37:39 PM I notice 16,000,000+ bitcoins are in circulation. 5,000,000 remain. I may be right or wrong about these numbers.
With the current numbers showing I believe the difficulty is about to bump up to a point of decrease in current hardware profitbility of at least 1%+ a month. New rounds of hardware soon being invented? Or is bitcoin slowly going to be all mined with current tech? If current tech sticks while difficulty increases by percentages. I think we might face the death of bitcoin mining proftability. Or at least a large chunk. Coming from my point of view. I believe this is true as ive seen the current conditions playing a role of decreasing my proftability. What do you think?

What do you think? your post has so much wrong info it is hard to believe that you understand bitcoin 16,000,000 mined 5,000,000 left the difficulty of mining has no meaning the price of coins has no meaning the relationship of the two are very important if diff is 1 and price is 1 if diff is 10 and price is 100 what is better for a miner simple divide price by diff in the first case 1/1 = 1 in the second case 100/10 = 10 so the second case with a diff of 10 is better since coin price went up to 5400 usd today and diff is pretty flat you are doing better today then you were a week ago Title: Re: Bitcoin coins close to reach new heights Post by: philipma1957 on October 13, 2017, 03:06:02 PM According to Ice Rock Mining it's still profitable to mine bitcoin if you have chosen the right location with low temperature and low electricity costs. Let us assume that bitcoin is slowly going to be all mined with current tech, then it will take longer and longer to mine a coin as the difficulty will increase. But in this case it's almost clear that the bitcoin price will also increase as in the past this was always the case. yep ans as long as price is high enough the diff is not an issue.

Dry and hot is BETTER for mining than wet and semi-hot, as evap cooling is CHEAP.
