Title: Cloud vs Grid 5 ASIC mining Post by: Mithril1977 on April 04, 2014, 07:13:59 PM Hey all. I'm looking for some fun and have been researching cryptos for quite some time. I'm looking to use about $500 bucks or so and wondering where/how I would find out which would be best bang for buck to start? I've used calculators but I hear that they do not work on cloud mining. (Fyi looking at 2 of the Grid5's which are $400 pair) for 600 kh/sec. Side note I have free electricity.
Cloud mining vs scrypt asic Grid5s is what i'm currently looking at. At my level of mining/spending which is a better service for long term investment (if they do indeed go up). I would appreciate any insight or input. Thanks for your time.

To figure out cloud hashing for CEX.IO on CoinWarz you look up CEX.IO's numbers which are 1.5 watts per GHz and $0.30 per KW. So if you buy 100 GHz, that's 150 watts and 30 cents per KW. Plug those numbers into CoinWars and you get your profit. I personally like PBMining (see my link in sig). Where I just buy a 5 year GHz contract and don't have to worry about electricity and such. Then I can see my profit on https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty by just typing in my number of GHz.

450khs for 170usd. Beats gridseeds atm, since you dont pay for elec! |
