hello,
Im new to mining and my knowledge is very theoretical as this moment ..
I got an avalon 741 (7,3t/hs) in december 2017 from minerwarez.com for 798 $ + tax.. and psu for about 200..
now I see bitmain s9 14t/hs are selling on ebay for like 5000 ? wtf is up with that
It made a steady profit every day topping at 22e / day when bitcoins was skyrocketing and now about 14-15e / day @ 12500e/btc
..anyways with ROI looking this good I wanted to buy more miners.. and all the SHA256 miners are out of stock or used at ebay overpriced, so I bought 3 antminers D3:s instead for ~1400€ eatch... (wich was not cheap either
) I figured I can mine dashcoin and exhange it for other cpyptos..
as of today the miners make just ~10$ / day on viabtc.com dash pools ,, thats still acceptable if they will keep making that they pay themself off in 5 months.. (prob. wont)
..but I have a gaming computer with 2 rx480 cards and that thingy is making 5-6 e / day on nicehash and those cards where only about 250e eatch.. so that got me thinking should I sell the 3 D3 miners and build a 2500e gpu rig or two instead ?
is it more sensible to wait 3 months and let them mine awhile before selling ? what are your guesses ? maby the D3:S are selling half their price by then ? should I stick with them until they become unprofitable or exhange them for gpu rigs ?
pro and cons of asic vs gpu mining ?
your toughts and insights are welcome..
