Gone are the good days of mining 10 USD with two Rx 480. I have decided to sell them , instead of upgrading . I don't think enough money is pouring in again in this vast ocean of crypto

I agree. This is because the mining of concurrency today has become more competitive. A lot of people now are mining cryptocurrencies both big and small. And most of these miners are also in the focus of Bitcoin because of it's value. I am no expert at mining but I think when it comes to Bitcoin, what is better now is just investing and trading. Especially now that the Bitcoin value is going up, it is good to invest and monitor it's prices from time to time. This increase may go a long way as more people are getting into Bitcoin investment nowadays.

Good choice, sadly bitcoin mining is no longer very profitable, which honestly really stinks for the miners amount us. Xmr is decent, but it's still not that profitable.

Good to you mate, but what is your plan after younsell your miner? Bitcoin mining is continue to get hard because of continuous increasing its value but for me if you have a capital much better to keep your mining functioning because this is one of the best source of income here in bitcoin or try to mine altcoin just choose best altcoin to mine.

For XMR you have have the some set of GPU mining rig in your home and can make the profit easily. Now for xmr, zcash many people started concentrating to make the profit. You please choose right coins now to start mining. You will be still possible to mining with the low investment as you expected. Since heavy competition on the bitcoin mining we need to go with higher ASIC miner and go with the best components.

Yes surely its no more profitable. However you can put those GPU's in your PC to boost its power and play high end 3D games. :-) Well, yeah technically speaking mining with GPU is very sweaty now a days and even with ASIC units also its getting more difficult now a days. So better you sell them and have some extra cash to put into trading of alt coin which is now better way of all to earn good profits. The mining difficulty will keep rising which is fixed factor in the mining and to cop up with that difficulty you have to upgrade always and to do so you will have to invest more into hardware. So thats not a fair deal at all I guess.

doesn't it completely depend on the coin? coin developers know there are hungry miners out there so they supply coins that can be mined. if there isn't one now that suits your gear then one that will be suitable should come along at some point.

I couldn't agree more with the vast number of competition in the mining industry its hard to know whether its worth mining anymore I rarely get earnings on my mining which ia why I decided focusing on investing in bitcoins rather than mining because mining really cost a lot your specifications in your computer needed to be updated just to caught with the stiff ccompin bitcoin mining.

Yup this is so unfortunate for new investors or miners more specifically who are willing to get into mining stuff. But to be honest we can't catch the speed that old people have got now, the old I mean who started mining since the beginning. They might have earned so much money and may be they are having big farms of it. Only farms with more than 100's of miners will survive from here onwards. Solo mining was surpassed almost last year and even with 10-15 miners at home can't do much of the work. If you have to be in the race then you need 100 dozen of those RX series which is almost obsolete now and hard to get in the market. May be a game enthusiast will get it from you. Better.

well i hope that gpu mining days will come back, at least for some new tokens.
if you are talking about Bitcoin Gold here,it is fools gold more than bitcoin gold at the moment they were designed to make bitcoin decentralised again (even stealing slogans from Trump) and they stole more than just a motto,their replay protection is a copy of bitcoin cash's and it is not ready yet despite what they say on the ir site so new tokens are not that hope inspiring if you look at the current rates for two x480 there is no coin that will allow you to earn even 3$ a day look at the Nicehash profitability test,download their programme and run it to see how much they are paying currently so yeah,selling the cards and not continuing this arms race is the best idea

I think we still have long way to go, about 6 to 7 million remain to be mined and that is a huge value and we do expect more hardfork and splitting in years to come that will create more opportunities for miners. Though it is very difficult now to mining bitcoin, in 2 years back many miners make good profit just by using s7 and few gpu but now those hardwares hardly can mining to cover operations cost.

I think that a new wave of high-profit mining is still to be. It will not be very long, just to make crowd buy the cards again. And after that wave private mining will decline.

If you are pertaining on Bitcoin itself then we would really still mine for another 100 years until the last bitcoin would be mined but since we do see on OP that he did just sell off his two video cards or GPU then he do mine on altcoin for sure.I would say that you shouldnt sell off those cards since there are altcoin which do have still low mining difficulty.Just like on what im doing i do mine some alts when i saw it is not already profitable then i do decide to find new alts and jump and milk some profits on mining.Its just like that.

Maybe mining alts? I think CPU mining is the answer.

Good choice, sadly bitcoin mining is no longer very profitable, which honestly really stinks for the miners amount us. Xmr is decent, but it's still not that profitable. Mining of bitcoin is always profitable depending on the hardware you have, yes mining of bitcoin for now is very dificult due to high price of it but developer are non stop to develop new mining equipment which is more powerful to make mining run smoothly and of course it is much expensive but the benefits of this is gaining huge profit. And i think op has not enough money to invest for upgrading his bitcoin mining equipment that is why he decided to stop and sell his equipment.

Due to the fact that technology is evolving so does the miners too, that's why you really need to upgrade your miner too in order for you to mine more bitcoin. By upgrading you will gain enough bitcoin in the future and could get your ROI in just a couple of months or more. And the difficulty level will increase over time so you end up waiting much longer even, and possibly never end up getting a block when solo mining. Everything has their own risk but we must have to adapt to become successful.

However, technology also improved as so we can also take this advantage to upgrade. If you are really into investing on mining industry, you should know how to stay competitive. Make some strategies like upgrading and minimizing cost. Maybe looking for areas with low electricity cost could help as well. Nothing in this world now is easy. Everybody is now competitive and you need to keep up with them by being and staying competitive as well.
