Title: Hardware payoffs with consideration to Difficulty increases Post by: release on July 23, 2011, 03:02:32 AM if i payed $1000 for a 1.3 ghash/s system, i could pay that off in about in a little over half a year at this difficulty. ($0.14/kwh)
I'm not familiar with how difficulty increases (how often, how much) so how long would it take to payoff the system if the BTC price remained the same but difficulty increased as it is now?

Do you have a part list put together? $1000 seems high for 1.3 Gh/s. Assuming you live in the US. Title: Re: Hardware payoffs with consideration to Difficulty increases Post by: Bengel on July 23, 2011, 03:12:11 AM http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php is a good little calculator
The difficulty increases every so many blocks and its based off of how fast those blocks are found. Check the top of http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/ to check.
