Multiple choice might give a better picture. I can see at least 3 choices in the poll that apply equally to me.

I love mysterious looking electronic devices with blinky lights. I guess that falls under fun.

For profit!!!!! The profit is superb when I first calculated (like 400% return in a year). I later understand more about Bitcoin difficulty and I fell off the chair.

I mine a few altcoins for fun and to sell them if they ever get on a exchange, but mostly fun.

I don't mine Bitcoin, haven't since July.  I mine LiteCoin and make money.

And to everyone who voted anything other than "to make profit"  ... what a steaming pile of BS.  You are here to make money, or you wouldn't be here.  Or you're an idiot with more money than brains.  In which case you should give me money. Cool

Well, some people bought USB eruptor just to try out knowing that they would never ROI.

If I ever want to try out a USB Eruptor, I'll go on YouTube, find a video of someone unboxing their Eruptor, and piggyback off their experience while KEEPING MY MONEY!!!!! Grin

I was originally doing it just for fun, but as time went on, I was doing fairly well and set myself the goal of getting a new computer and maybe some mining hardware out of the deal. Been mining since Feb and just completed my goals yesterday with the arrival of the last of my computers parts (still waiting of mining hardware, guess who I bought from Wink ), so I will call it a (mostly) win.
