Title: Is titan kncminer profitable?
Post by: PickNic on March 28, 2014, 09:02:16 AM
I'm looking to order 2 Titan do you think it could be a good investment? 100mh/s seems a very good deal for only 10k$

Ugh, please read the main KNC thread in the Custom Hardware subforum.

Educate yourselves on just how sleazy these bastards are before you give them any money.  They'll steal your LTC and DOGE right out of your hand just like they are currently doing with BTC.

All it takes are devs to spend a day or 2 making their coins ASIC hostile...and there are always enterprising minds out there ready to do that.  

GPUs may/do not ROI nearly as quickly and they sure are a pain to deal with, but they definitely retain innate value far better.  

If i learned anything from the bitcoin ASIC scene when Scrypt hit, it was that one does not want to be caught with a device that is unable to interface with the shifting landscape of profitability.

You would most likely make your money back on a Titan, but past that...

KGW/DGW/et all difficulty schemes that correct difficulty after each block are the death of ASIC profitability.
