Best advice; how about forget both and buy the coins instead?  Grin
If you good at market prediction and willing to take a risk, it will be much profitable for you and less hustle and bustle.
Mining is not an easy game either, so you need to consider how much time you have to spend on this as well.

What about buy coins and miners instead? Grin

I agree that with some well-timed trades it could be more profitable to instead buy the coins instead of mining. However, for those who have no experience in trading, mininng is really a good option because people lessenn the risk because of the hedged value of miners. The miner (or at least a GPU) is something you can sell if everything goes to shit.

IMHO If you have the necessary infrastructure you should go with asics, if you only want to mine in a little scale, on your home, you should choose GPU rigs.

If I get no profit any more on mining ETH/ZEC, I would switch to mine another asic-resistance coin, I would not get in the races which are controlled by Bitmain.

That was what miners should do. Super agree with that!  Wink

As miners, we had to face a few things that we can't control, such us ASICs expansion. So, focus on what we can do are the best thing that we can to for survive on this crypto mining world.  Smiley
I agree Bitmain has something up their sleeve as most ppl know they can remotely kill your miner at anytime do ppl really think they are dumping some of these miners at such a low rate just to try to get rid of them, They could of keep mining and not put anything on the market Bitmain and the Chinese government will control all these blockchains if ppl keep buying from Bitmain also asic are not more profitable look at the rates for sia that's what's going to happen to ETH, ZEC and the rest of the coins if something doesn't change, so 6 months after the asics are released we are going to see a bunch of threads how no one is making money Bitmain screwed them just like the D3 so remember you screwed yourself

I agree with most of the points raised, and GPU's might come as the slight winner here because of broader flexibility and market demand;

however it's true that they also require more maintenance, you will need to be dusting them off, replacing fans, etc. so if you decide to run a large scale GPU mining operation,

consider having a few employees / active business partners to help you with the routine tasks.
