1  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: New Mining Farm on: January 20, 2016, 01:40:22 AM
Just buy some BTC and hold it.

Thanks for the advice , however this method relies solely on speculation , and I see more potential in the mining sector , as at the current rate of 25 BTC for every 10 mins , it will take another 3.8 years untill all the possible bitcoins are mined .

By the way , will the processing fees will be enough to sustain the existence of the bitcoin miners once all the bitcoins are mined and there is nothing else to mine . Assuming the Bitcoin doesn't fail in the meantime , will the processing fees cover the expenses of miners or would they be able to make any kind of profit ?

I am intrigued by your mention of the Uranus miner. How did you hear about it?  To the best of my knowledge the Uranus Miner never appeared. View it as a scam.

I came across it while googling , and I found this company in Estonia who is allegedly producing it . I only submited an email inquiry with no response so far . Anyways , if it is for real I would only buy it in person by pshysically going to Estonia .

As others have said mining is now only profitable in the small number of locations around the world where electricity is under about 0.10 USD/kWh.  Cloud mining is also extremely risky with most being scams.

If you really have 30K USD I suggest you start doing considerable research before investing.

Thanks for the advice , I am currently seeking cheaper alternative power supply in my home-country , not where I live .

If you were to receive for S7's today, in about 40 days, you'll likely be losing money, just in running costs alone. The electricity price of $.22 just won't work for you. More miners won't help, only lower priced electricity.

Sorry to give you the bad news, but better to understand it going in (i.e. before Bitmain delivers a dozen S7 miners to you).

When you say that in about 40 days I will be loosing money , are you reffering to the fact that new technology will be available on the market that will make the S7 somehow obsolete ?

What is an acceptable power rate in order to perform some profitable mining using the S7 ?

I am a risk taker by nature , and This is my first contact with the cryptocurrency world which is gaining some serious momentum worldwide and I don't want to miss out .

This is my first topic on this forum , and I am seriously thinking to start a small Bitcoin mining farm , and I have around 30k USD to invest in this venture . Would you consider this investment a good one , considering the current developments in the bitcoin industry as well as the fact that the local power rate in my area is around 0.22 USD/KWh .

I am interested in either the Antminer S7 or the Uranus Miner 6.0 TH/s .

Any tips on how to buy the equipment at a lower price , or cheaper setup alternatives , if any . 

Thanks for your support .
