Title: mining dilemma Post by: yochdog on July 27, 2011, 06:31:59 PM As I scale up my mining operations, I am running into a dilemma. Spend more money to buy faster mining cards, or save cash and get slower cards.
I really believe there is an "early adopter" premium involved in bitcoin, and given the difficulty increases that seems to be a fact. If I can cram more MH/s into the early going, I will ostensibly earn more bitcoins before the difficulty increases. However, I spend more to get the higher hash rates. Does anyone have a good breakdown on this? Does it always make sense to buy the cheapest MH/$, or do the difficulty increases skew the analysis?
