Mining is profitable again for some old hardware. This means more miners will turn their hardware to mine. Could it be a good bet to buy some S7 cloud services on the hashnest cloud mining platform?

What hardware specifically? I realized that the price of Bitcoin going up would have some impact on the miners out there. Is Hashnest actually a real operation? I'm so suspicious of these cloud mining gigs, I'd rather just get a miner and know that my money is being made in front of my eyes. Mining is profitable anyway, it's just the price of the commodity goes up and down. If you dug up some gold you'd see the value regardless of the market price. A lot of Bitcoin users see the value.

Rather than buying S7, rent S4 or S5. Price/Profit margin is way too higher in S4 and S5. S7's are overpriced in the market right now. Mining is profitable if you use the right device.

I'm buying S5's at these prices and I think they're really cheap& very profitable.

I'm buying S5's at these prices and I think they're really cheap& very profitable. All depends on the price of electricity. But S5's and others in it's generation kinda have new life. They were still worth running at 230 per btc. Now at 330 it is really worth running. If price keeps gong up I sure wont be selling these anytime soon.

Hashnest is the only legit one, their (bitmain) reputation is worth more than a fuck up with a ponzi, they sell petahashes to large mining operations. You have read your signature right? "GHash.Exchange" = cloud mining exchange essentially ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . Got me a laugh reading that with the sig. It's true the bigger part of business is the UK exchange part. But it still does have a confirmed 1ph from bitfury.

It's true the bigger part of business is the UK exchange part. But it still does have a confirmed 1ph from bitfury. Well I haven't personally used Bit-x to cloud mine but I know for a fact Hashnest is ran and owned by Bitmain and they aren't going to ruin their reputation over cloud mining. I have read the Bit-x is legit and they openly rent their hashrate from Bitfury but I have not used it and I have heard Genesis is legit and post their hashrate. I guess you can say i was being a bit too dramatic with my earlier post. There is a thread on the cloud mining here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=878387.0 . I re-read my response and see it could come across as an ass. It was meant to be more jokingly, no offense intended. Re-readng my post I could see how it count be taken very wrong. But best of luck on your mining, again no offense meant.

nah the maintanance fee will kill your roi anyway, because of the high fee the roi is still in the 8 months range, even with 330 per btc, also the diff is higher now
one s7 is doing only 0.038, about $400 per month, minus 1/10 in electricity if 0.05 per kw, and you have a net of 360
but the s7 cost almost 8 btc...

Yo creo que para hashnest el minero s5 es el mejor por simple logica, este fue el mas rentable cuando el btc estaba a 230$ y ahora que los precios suben, sus porcentajes de ganancias a comisiones deberian ser menores, aparte como menciono un usuario en este debate son nuevos los s5 al fin y al cabo, personalmente creo que s5 sera el mejor por un buen tiempo hasta que los s7sean mas

no, it is not except some chinese mega farms next to power plants:) at least in whole Europe, I really can't imagine a place, where mining is profitable..

Sorry to hear Europe has crazy electricity price. Here in Québec we have hydro and its a few cents per kWh. And in the US there are a few profitable places too. China, Venezuella. There are a lot of places where it is cheap. And it is very profitable here. So good thing to keep in mind if YOU want to profit. Buy miners and send it to hosting services in Québec, or China, etc.

I was doing ok at 230... so go over 300... and even better. Europe really is hard with high VAT and electricity in a lot of places. If your viewpoint is from there yes its not good. Even some countries like Venezuela sound good for hobby miners, but look at big scale it's a scary place to invest big money with a government that can seize companies as they want.

Although things are quite well right now I am really wondering about all this added hash power to the network. In less than a week since the last difficulty readjustment 51 PH has been added to the network, so were looking at 6% increase so far. But I expect even more hash to be added and then the readjust will slam us, hopefully the hash reach its limits to sustain these profit gains.

The thing is it takes a LOT of gear to do that 6 percent. I suspect Avalon and Bitmain both making gear right now. So it's going to be a larger number then we want. Guess we will see if I'm right in a week or two hopefully. And even with 6 percent. The recent jump in value makes it still more profitable now then it was for most.

There are places in Europe with inexpensive electric - generally close to hydropower plants like where KnC located their big farm complex.
Just isn't a ton of hydropower in most of Europe, which is a shame they have plenty of rivers that COULD be set up for hydropower.
On the other hand, a lot of those potential sites have a ton of folks LIVING on them, down side of Europe averaging so much more crowded than the US or especially Canada.
I'm not sure what the potential for inexpensive geothermal power (like Iceland has a fair bit of) is in most of Europe.

KnC has been rolling gear for their farm for a while. Only Bitfury and probably a very few megafarmers know what BitFury is been doing. Bitmain announced 500 more S7s available on Hashnest, that's a pretty fair chunk of hashing alone. No clue where Lketc/BW.com are on the B-Eleven. SFARDS is way overdue for a second batch of their miners, or a batch of a "replacement"/"upgraded" design. No clue where Innosilicon is on their "leak announced" A3 (or whatever they are calling their next-gen chip).

I think they decided to keep internal and mine with it. I could be wrong but that is my theory. They are completely dark as far as communication on the board. On Innosilicon I think they will have a big effect on multiple miners. Chances are they are selling to a few companies. For example LKETC was really big partners with Innosilicon.

Bitmain cloud mining is the most reputable one. They are the manufacturer of the most used miner. Their pool is supported by their own miners.
