I'm still trying to decide is the $0.40 a day (after costs) is worth the wear and tear on my GPU. Of course I'll still mine with my Single Until ASICs hit.

Tips? 1crazy8pMqgwJ7tX7ZPZmyPwFbc6xZKM9

I guess I aimed the question more at GPU mining, assuming FPGA would continue as they are cheaper to run Smiley
and I have had 50hundered dozen other options I could have included offered to me Wink

I'll definitely not be mining during the warm summer months now.  It would cost too much to keep the heat down with air conditioning, would be cheaper overall to not mine during those months for me.

Voted, still bebating as with the current price the short term slight gain is not worth my time.  But what if the USD value per bitcoin rises?  I full expect that to happen, but I also miss my beast of a gaming rig with Tri-fire 7970's.  It's got a 4th card packed in now (5970) just for mining.

I want to support bitcoin and ozcoin (been some issues but nothing but honesty and work to resolve from the team)  but still...


So, I setup a full bitcoin node today.  I think that is the next best thing if I shut down my miners until my ASIC's arrive.  Though I kinda want to keep them going till they do...but I will not wait more then a month with my 4.5GH total.

I just got started really a month ago so I plan on keeping running my small-time game here with low to no electricity costs.  I like the idea of continuing to add to the ecosystem in general.

Not turning anything off until I start loosing profit. Will keep running even if I'm making $101 for every $100 I spend in electricity. Will be switching all of my GPUs to LTC if it's more profitable.

As soon as I hit the 0.10 BTC payout threshold on BTCGuild I'm stopping, some time today.
The combination of increasing difficulty and the halving have taken a toll on my 200 Mh/s "rig"  Cool

Since I'm a software engineer I see this as my opportunity to switch over to solving a few interesting problems in OpenCL, something I've always found interesting.

You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

If you want to stop mining but still contribute to the Bitcoin network, running a node on a decently powered machine is a good way to do that. The network doesn't only need megahashes, it needs sockets!

People are turning off !!!

We lose about 20% hash rate on pools since yesterday ...

I'm living in a cold country ... I use my rid to heat the room ...producing coins just cover the power cost ...

If coin price stays in this range, I will power off next summer.

I still make a [small] profit on all my rigs.

Even then, I think I will continue to mine for a while.
