Title: Thinking of selling my miners... GF tells me not to.
Post by: P_Shep on January 03, 2014, 03:50:05 PM
Kinda weirded out by that.

We live in a small apartment so the only 'convenient' place I could put them is in the kitchen. Needles to say they make a lot of noise and heat.

They's sill fairly profitable, but don't want to miss out on their re-sale value totally.

It depends, ASICs or GPU? If the latter what's model?
Sell ASICs and keep the GPUs

Don't know what kind of GPU is still fairly profitable... Have some ASICs: BFL 60's.

I am selling my usb block erupters. They are still selling for 40$ on Amazon. Which is 4 times what I paid for them. I am dabbling on cex.io, plus I have a couple of block erupter blades I am using now.

Don't sell if you don't need the money, it's still profitable right?

All of em, probably by a large margin over your BTC equipment. It's a lot more heat and noise with GPUs though. (Partially sarcasm, 7900/r9 cards are on fire right now.)

I think your girl is right. If bitcoin swigs up a few hundred as I imagine it will in the next three months resale value will appear from nowhere.

Or I could be wrong, and difficulty will pillage whatever is left in value  :D

Have you at least recovered your investment? If you've got several I'd consider leaving some, selling others...

I have recovered my investment by a loooooong way.

And I think I can sell the miners for what I paid... pretty much the price BFL are selling them for now (I'm in the UK btw)

I'm not much of a miner (I made my BTC fortune in 2011) but I do have a single R9 290X running in my bedroom to mine altcoins for fun.

This thing is the loudest video card I have ever used.

You seriously need to think about why you are wasting time with something like that.

Use PrimeCoin Cloud Mining.
- No noise and electricity costs are included in price.

Some guys here offer place for your rigs in rent.

I'd recommend you to sell them. The hash-rate is rising astronomically. You don't know when the small scale mining will become obsolete.

Scrypt coins GPU mining and "Only CPU mining" coins have nothing with bitcoin asics  rising hash-rate.
Calculate the profitability.

They generate heat, she spends time in the kitchen, likes it warm, I see her point :D

Why is he lucky? A girlfriend only brings disadvantages and no real advantages.
Besides it's his miners and his decision what he is going to do.

Don't tell me you can't see any advantages.  ;) There's at least one!

kind of funny, since girlfriends usually want you to do the exact opposite. keep her!

Still (much) more disadvantages than advantages. Therefore it's stupid to have a gf.
And I wouldn't call having sex an advantage. It's just a waste of time.

You just haven't found a girl you get along with enough yet and are self-projecting :P

No. I'm just much more intelligent in this case. GF's are a waste of time, I can do much more when I'm not interrupted all the time.

It would depend on what she's interrupting for but I'd probably be even more productive if you know what I mean LOL :D
