As so many of us are getting pushed out before we expected to, I cant help but wonder what other people are gonna do with all that hardware once it becomes worthless for them to mine BTC. Even pretty powerful rigs (by today's standards) are gonna become like dust generators after a few months/years. So what's next for you?
edit: to clarify, i mean: no longer viable to mine with current hardware (sticking with btc implies buying more hardware to increase hashing capabilities or keeping current hardware and continuing even if not profitable and or going for %fees etc).

The thing is, it's not viable now. Most of us purchasing hardware will not see a ROI. Almost all of us who are mining now are doing so past viability, by some measure.

>> What will you do when it's no longer viable to mine?
It's never "no longer viable to mine"

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

Sell it off, if it has no value then I will just keep it and wait for difficulty to drop...

I can't wait to see where transaction fees will bring the block rewards to. IMO, I think we'll see larger payouts from transactions than the 50 BTC rewards of the old days ..not tomorrow, of course, but in good time. In fact, it wasn't long ago that I saw a 6-8 BTC bonus of transaction fees on a block solved by Slush's pool.

I have switched to CEX.io and sold my BFL 60Ghs unit on ebay.
|
CEX.IO - Get yourself into bitcoin mining -no min starting point to figure out how it works while you mine.

Mine altcoins. In my case, once Litecoin goes kaput profitability-wise, I'm done mining and will dump my trifire Radeon HD 7970 rig for a next-generation Radeon, which I'm guessing will be called the Radeon R9 390X.
