Anyway, putting aside the playfulness.. Kinda weird that you get fed up by people using the wrong terms/words for something.
If I were to react like that to every mistake/error I see IRL or online.. It would make me sour in the end.
It goes beyond just people using the wrong terms, I think. Words and concepts change over time, but that makes it harder to communicate with each other if we allow people to just do it wrong on purpose and not care. It's probably too late to just be the little boy sticking his finger in the dyke over the meaning of "ROI"... but it still has to be done. It's the same kind of attitude I see online or IRL where people are apathetic and non-principled. Don't get me started on emojis... like I said above in another reply... I may just be getting old and cranky. I see that your attitude is "I know more than anyone else and I have to prove it", I stopped to read all your posts and you are a person that you will discuss a lot here if you do not adapt and you are less strict with your nonsense. If life is going badly for you, if you are a bit bitter, do yourself a favor and do not make others bitter, turn off the internet and make your neighbors bitter. Seeing the controversy that you have in all the posts you post, I'll ignore you and not answer more to your messages in the forum of Awesome miner, you have no idea and allows you to give advice. You are smart in your house, but a fool in the rest of the world. With the ignorant it is stupid to argue, especially about the ignorant who want to give lessons. And I call you ignorant morally. |

This thread was meant to be a fun distraction. |

I'm also using ROI (so forgive me).  To be honest, This thread gave me some other view that I've never cared about, before. I like this. (at least, now I know when I need to use ROI or CR) On this forum, may I'll still use ROI since almost everyone here use it and know what it means. As Leonix said, as long as we understand each other, that's enough.  |

It's all good though. I can take the heat. I knew when I started this thread that it would generate some controversy. |

I love Willy Wonka... but dismissing it as not important makes you ignorant. you did a good job in explaining the differences between CR and ROI, maybe you should have stopped there. However, you call people dumb and ignorant for using ROI in place of CR (which is just slang), and then you use "hodling" which is just slang for holding. so your slang doesn't make you sound dumb but others using slang makes them sound dumb? Maybe.. it is time to get off your soap box.. Well, true about a rough attitude, but you can’t compare a slang HODL and a wrongly used financial term, though. Not the same and not even close. If this post makes at least 5% of readers remember that, I think that is a success!!! And wow, so many aggressive replies.. |

I think someone back in 2013, called breaking even with your hardware cost ROI and it just stuck since then.
Since nobody else really uses the term ROI except accountants which leads me to believe it was a spiral or domino effect.
Basically someone wanted to learn how to mine, found this forum, a few people said " you will never ROI" and it was a term they took over and where we are today.

As i said earlier, let me quote myself  This topic should not be under Bitcoin Forum > Alternate cryptocurrencies > Mining (Altcoins) This is another useless topic in this section.... Maybe somewhere : Bitcoin Forum > Other > Serious discussion This is a kind of Serious discussion for a real smart members, (most of us give a sht about it ... to be honest ... ) I hope no one going to post another topic tomorrow, like : " Please stop using "MINING" when you mean the process of adding transaction records to Bitcoin's public ledger of past transactions and trying to solve a computationally difficult puzzle.... it makes you sound dumb.  or I hope no one going to post another topic tomorrow, like : " Please stop using "MINING RIG" when you talking about a single computer system that performs the necessary computations for the process of adding transaction records to Bitcoin's public ledger of past transactions and trying to solve a computationally difficult puzzle .... it makes you sound dumb also Come on people ... please give some real help for your newbie friends ....

Thanks for your information, this is a very, very common mistake ( incl me haha )
so the actual ROI there is the amount of profit we have gained from Capital

Seriously these people...its like correcting someone for saying hodl. ROI is just a thing to say, nobody thinks it actually means return on investment. We say ROI - it means - how many days mining at this price and this difficulty will it take to mine the amount of capital I am spending ? People call that ROI in crypto. No one cares that its not the actual definition.
