A very nice informative post.
To me, it is entirely undesirable to enter the mining market at any time now. The cost of electricity is pretty damn high here in Australia, and also I'm just not bothered to keep up with the miners myself.
Keep in mind that ETH can crash at any given moment. There is no guarantee.

You read the posts? If eth is removed, there are still plenty of coins waaaaay above el-price profitability. Read the posts on the previous page. Whats the price at you place? Go to https://www.whattomine.com/coinsType 100 Mh at ETH. Type in 1200ish Watt. Edit el price. What do you get on daily cost and daily profit? My 100mh rigs has to use 6800 WATTS compared to 1200 to be non profitable. (meaning the el price must go up 560% .. by then we'll all be homeless here) And thats with default el price on the site... which is pretty high imo. |

Read this [/quote] The problem is those other coins do not have strong enough market caps to soak up all the gpu mining. So when ETH plans to go POS and assuming it has good profit up to that point the miners will point their hash to all the other coins making the difficulty too high for decent profit. If one of coins hit it big then mining could continue, also if you have a big stack of coins in one them and they hit big market caps, you'll be pretty wealthy. [/quote] |

[/quote] [/quote] That is a valid point. But i do believe it will adjust, and new actors will appear. But it is a risk game, and always will be. If done right, you shouldnt lose anything. ROI has been so good that most miners should be way in the green by now. |

We are not saying you will lose money. Even the ones with the highest electricity should have most of their rigs paid off.
Problem is these profits simply won't last. Been mining for years and these are record daily profits I am making mining.

That is right. In 2013 and 2014 for a few months, it was very profitable to mine Dodge, but that did not last. |

That is really profitable. I wonder if there will any coin as profitable. |

GPUs are very expensive, and mining pools aren't very profitable. Summer is coming, and a lot of people are about to find out just how much heat these things produce.

I love when new miners are shocked about their power bill. You will never compete against people who operate next to a dam or some other scheme to get cheap power. It is just not feasible for home miners anymore and most likely will never be again. Buy coins - don't mine. |

I remember it was more like $10/day with a 280X. |

So its actually quite little. |

The earlier you came in the better it is for mining while the difficulty is still low but it'll get to the point where mining ETH will only for big farms with low electricity cost.

Is there any cloud mining for the ETH so if anyone who cannot afford to buy mining equipment, we can have an option to just put our investment online? |

Yea but mining hardware is at least 3 times cheaper than cloud mining. Genesis mining wants $925 for 25 mh or you could mine with a single R9 390 card and make 27 mh for $330. You will be throwing your money away with cloud mining.

You can do cloud mining with Genesis Mining. https://www.genesis-mining.com/our-offer. the price is not cheap. The price is $3700 per 100 MH/s. With $3700, you can buy 12 R9 390 and build two rigs with 350 MH/s. |

All the ones i've seen has simply been "throwing some money on something to get even fewer in return". If nicehash started ETH.. that would change it. |

You can mine Eth at Nicehash, but that is not a rent market. It is a conventional pool provided by it. |
