Title: Rent a server?
Post by: hellomotow on July 04, 2011, 02:44:21 PM
Hi,

I have the option of renting a server with x4 5850's for 250 euro p/m (Aprox $362)
                                                     or x4 5870's for 300 euro p/m (Aprox $435)

Do you think its a good idea? And does anyone know how much i would make p/m at the current rate? (I know it gets harder and price goes up/down)

Thanks

Definatly no.

Edit: At current difficulty, at 17 dollars per BTC, at those 5870's hashing 350mh/s, it calculates out to $527.63.

So it maaaybe worth it, but it's no gold mine.

Also if you factor in the 10-20% increase in difficulty every few weeks, it will definitely not become profitable by the end.
