1  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Is it worthless to mine bitcoins now? on: December 04, 2013, 05:19:57 PM
Many say that there's no point in mining bitcoins anymore unless I invest a lot into buying ASIC miners. They say so cause it's difficult to mine bitcoins. Is that true?

How many bitcoins do you mine a day and what's your H/S?



mining itself would be extremely profitable, especially as long as the price keeps going up. The problem is having the hardware and having it now: the point is that if you buy/pre-order today you don't know what are going to be the market conditions at the time you will actually get the HW (which might be several months later).

Making a reasonable estimate now is relatively simple: you just need to consider the cost of HW, the cost of electricity, the value of BTC and the ratio between your H/s and the total computational power of the network. The problem is that trying to forecast the last 2 values even just 2 months from now is meaningless, as the future price could easily be 10 times more or 10 times less

PS: this only applies for BTC mining, as per alt-coins mining I have no direct experience but what the other guys are saying makes sense  Wink
2  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you know anyone in the REAL WORLD who has bought bitcoin? on: November 27, 2013, 08:14:22 AM
Granted I live in Ohio, but I've never met a single person who has bought bitcoin. I haven't seen a store that takes it, and everyone I talk to thinks it's "risky" (which I don't agree with). Anyway, I'd love to hear if other people have met anyone in the real world who owns bitcoin (or any alternative currency) and if so, where do you live?

I live in Europe and I personally know 2 people (friends of different nationalities) who have bought BTCs. One of them even got a pretty expensive mining rig and is now reaping some sweet reward!

However, I still have to see a "physical" shop/store accepting it

hello everybody,
I'm also new and I'm looking to get more info on HW mining and personal experiences on the various exchanges. Long live BTC! Cool

Many people would sell...  However I think that 1000 is the mark that will make news (again) and will further legitimize crypto-currencies.

remember that the 1k round value is only in dollars, CNY already passed that threshold a long time ago  Wink
anyway, my educated guess is by the end of the week
