Have GPUs and FPGAs, going to keep mining until it's unprofitable. I still see no ASICs in the wild, I'm still skeptical.

As far as I'm concerned mining to me is a way to preserve wealth, like mining for gold or silver, anyone who actually does it for profit is a bit of a moron really who hasn't done the math >_<

I ticked the box for "No - Had GPU's, I'm out" though in fact my little cluster of 5870 and 5970 based miners is hashing at 6GH, all GPUs are undervolted (0.95v) and underclocked (600MHz) and returning a small profit.
I will only cease mining when the difficulty has risen to the point where I can no longer at least break even with the undervolted GPus.

5850 will be shifted to litecoin primarily, and misc alt-coins as a secondary.
ASIC will be set dedicated to btc.

Switched my 7750 to Litecoin mining a while back as there's more profit in it...waiting for my Jalapeños to arrive.

This may actually carry a lot of economic importance - it may be the case that price will keep going up to adjust for minimally keeping you in business. At least if we believe in invisible hands this sounds pretty plausible.

Actually never had anything other than the GPU in my laptop (a silly little 40 Mhash machine, but it's actually profitable without any alterations because of the amount of electricity the laptop pulls), but I'm waiting until a couple months after ASICs come out to see how the market has stabilized (or not) and recalculate if it would be profitable to enter with an ASIC then.

ASIC will be set dedicated to btc. There are more sha256 based chains alive then just BTC. Insert Quote Actually never had anything other than the GPU in my laptop (a silly little 40 Mhash machine, but it's actually profitable without any alterations because of the amount of electricity the laptop pulls), but I'm waiting until a couple months after ASICs come out to see how the market has stabilized (or not) and recalculate if it would be profitable to enter with an ASIC then. Anyone can enter shareholder ASIC mining anytime with GMPThere gonna be 5 ASIC running for the project as soon Avalon Batch2 is out. Im courious on the reports of Batch1 ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) more: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=136861.0Is it possible to add "shareholder mining" to the poll ?

please add additional options, if possible: No - Had GPUs, will keep mining No - Had FPGAs, will keep mining No - Had mix of both, will keep mining Yes - new to bitcoin and going ASIC
I know these will likely have few responses but I am interested in if anyone is considering those options. You could condense the first 3 into "I will mine with what I have now (before ASICS) for a long time!"
I know that once I move to ASIC, I will keep GPU mining in the winter to avoid using my oil heater. Even in the summer, I will likely keep my 5830 single unit mining.

To be honest i think the whole ASIC story is a good thing for gpu miners At the moment thats becourse a lot of new people getting intrested in mining are now.. or waiting or pre-ordering this vaporware. i bet no new miner wil invest an $10k into an gpu farm at this moment witch is a good thing for mining farms ROI../ difficulty vs hashrate..as you can see the hashrate is still around 20/25 gh vs 3000000 diff and if you read back into the postst about predicting what it would be then they were wrong...still gpu miners are the laughing ones ..and as long as ASIC,s aren,t proven to excist they will be the only ones making BTC...and getting ROI.. So the delays in ASIC are a good thing for gpu miners ROI....just my thoughts ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) And they have created a big stack of BTC to buy more ASIC when outthere.. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) (sorry for the bad English) ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)

The last few months of gpu mining has been good especially if you let the btc build up and sell some each time the price jumps up. I never though i would be getting 17 some usd per btc right now.
