Title: Still worth mining on this hardware? Post by: aab23c on June 08, 2013, 10:50:57 PM With the rise of ASIC, I am wondering if it is still worth Mining on my hardware? I am waiting for my ASIC (yay BFL preorder 25ghs... Waiting....waiting) to come in, but until then...
Right now I am averaging about 1100 +\- MHash\s 3 AMD cards 5970 7950 6570 The rest of the computer is a budget build on an AMD CPU platform. So BTC or move on to LTC?

Post by: oyeTorry on June 08, 2013, 10:58:45 PM Depends what you pay for eletricity and if running the machine is worth troubles (monitoring, failed components)

I guess I am looking for my cut point...right now I am averaging a small .035ish BTC a day... not sure if that is still worth doing or not, just looking for opinion of those a bit more experienced.

Title: Re: Still worth mining on this hardware? Post by: Rasskabak on June 08, 2013, 11:54:09 PM The difficulty curve raises by 10% per week, or even faster. Two months ago I was thinking about purchasing a few 7950, because they would make a profit of a few BTC per month. For today they would barely return in a year period, even if the difficulty would stay on todays' level.
So as for me - I'm switching to LTC. I've tried this today, but I've overclocked my memory clock and the system hanged... and as I was doing it by a remote desktop, I couldn't access it by tomorrow morningm so I have no idea if it is more profitable than BTC for this moment ;) Title: Re: Still worth mining on this hardware?
