Title: Newb trying to jump into bitcoin mining Post by: ignas on November 14, 2013, 01:03:36 PM Hello guys, I've just created this account to be able to contact bobsag3 because I would like to buy his hosting services. By doing that I will get some more money and will be able to buy my own miner and start mining BTC independently. ::)

The mining reward becomes lower for a fixed computing power the higher the difficulty is, to get an idea: http://bitcoindifficulty.com/ Title: Re: Newb trying to jump into bitcoin mining Post by: ignas on November 14, 2013, 01:09:54 PM www.virtualminingcorp.com But this is for buying, not renting machines, isn't it?Title: Re: Newb trying to jump into bitcoin mining Post by: tiaguitah on November 14, 2013, 01:12:04 PM www.virtualminingcorp.com But this is for buying, not renting machines, isn't it?renting will make you loose money trust me. how do you think these companies profit?

I do understand that, but renting mining machines requires less money than buying them. That's why my plan is to rent at first but after some time buy my own.The mining reward becomes lower the higher the difficulty is, to get an idea: http://bitcoindifficulty.com/ renting will make you loose money trust me. how do you think these companies profit? I realize that it will get me less than mining myself but renting 1Th/s for $170/month is still better than buying 10Gh/s for $240.Title: Re: Newb trying to jump into bitcoin mining Post by: Birdy on November 14, 2013, 01:22:04 PM snip Let me clarify what I mean: You buy 1 Btc today -> in one month you have 1 Btc you rent 1 Btc worth of mining power for 1 month -> you will have less than 1 Btc in one month (most likely) At least if the difficulty continues to do what it does best, rising a lot that is. Why do you think those company lend out / sell their hashing power instead of mining themselves?

If you buy a BTC now, after a month it will be worth much more. When you mine you get less than a BTC , but the price of the amount you get is somewhat worth the same as a whole BTC is worth now. But you made a bad deal then. You could have a full Bitcoin and end up with less. E.g. You have bought 1 Bitcoin for $400. Bitcoin rises to $600 and you only got 0.8 Bitcoins with mining. Yes, you earned $80. But you've also lost $120 to the mining company. |
