Title: What threshold of investment makes going into bitcoin mining "profitable"? Post by: plorph on December 28, 2015, 09:35:42 AM I'm interested in mining bitcoin, and curious if it could be profitable. I would love to support the network and run a mining operation. At what threshold of initial investment does it become worth it? That would be including everthing such as warehouse/storage costs, energy costs, etc. Thanks!

if you have problem in the future reaching roi due to diff increasing too fast, then you simply sell, but with the same electricity of the big farm you will not have this problem, otherwise it mean that every farm out there will be screwed..

So this may mean looking out of your local area to find a place with cheap power. Title: Re: What threshold of investment makes going into bitcoin mining "profitable"?

6-7 cents/KWH is NOT "VERY VERY CHEAP". Aim for at least under 5 for any prayer of profit, and 3 or less for a decent chance at a positive ROI on any unit currently available. |
