Title: Incomes estimation
Post by: marcvander on June 05, 2013, 04:59:10 PM
Hello everyone,

I have two questions :

What is the estimated income in BTC per month with a 5GHash/s ASIC machine running all day long ?

And is there a proportionality between incomes and GHash/s ? Like do I have to multiply the 5GHash/s incomes by 300 to get the incomes of a 1500GHash/s ASIC machine ?

Thank you,
Marcvander

There are a ton of websites out there that can give you a rough guess of how much you will make after power costs.  The challenge to that exercise is guessing the difficultly increase.

At this point in time if you could get your hands on one right this second? 19,85$ a day (not accounting for electricity)

At this point in time you might receive one if you order one right now? Maybe 2 Dollars a day. If you're lucky. More likely less.

Is it because of the difficulty increasing ?

Yup. Total hashrate ordered from BFL alone that we know of is 3 times the current global hash rate.

Thank you. Can I have your opinion on mining ASIC machine ? Is there more efficiency machines with the same hashrates ?

And what software do you advice to use with an ASIC ?

This is a good summary https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=209750.0

Any of the mainstream mining software will be fine. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=42.0

My opinion? Too expensive, you won't make your investment back.

that depends on the price of 1 BTC. If you think its gonna go up, it might be a good investment.

But only if you mine more in BTC than the machine cost you to buy in BTC in the first place (less any residual value, eg with GPUs). Devilishly difficult to predict the difficulty rate.The calculator can help you estimate ROI, but its really just crystal ball gazing.
