Title: Great estimation tools for buying a miner

Hello

The following tools would help you estimate your miners' profitability by considering difficulty, hardware price, electricity consuption and so on:

I do recommend it before buying any miner. Besides you should bear in mind that the current BTC/USD ratio could be by all means bubblish as it was around 7 months ago that the price raise to 250USD and fell to 60USD.

+1 to these calculators.

I've had people ask me if it's worth it for them to get into and I always point them to such websites.

The genesis block calculator is also a good one.

Unfortunately with bubbles,  the ROI can be as quick as 3 weeks when LTC was $50+. Now it's nowhere near that.

I use the genesis block calculator and it's very helpful.

It's mind blowing the amount of hashing power that has increased over all the cryptos lately.

I can't even expand my rigs as there are no cards to buy and the ones that are for sale are selling for above RRP. But, that's how Supply and Demand works.
