I anticipated the current dip and got out of mining a couple of months back (& managed to sell my equipment for virtually the same price that I paid for it) . I feel your sadness. Hitting the power button for the final time was quite an emotional moment.

I believe that new hardware opportunities in the future along with a potential bounce in bitcoin value will see us all mining once again.

That's how I have made most of my money with cryptocurrency; buy and sell.

I haven't mined BTC in many weeks. My miners are currently gathering the other cryptocurrencies, speculating that sometime in the future, they will rise to a  value I'd be happy to sell at. Total gamble, but hey, no risk, no reward Smiley

As soon as the 7000's Actually "hit the market" It's gonna be SOOO hard to sell a 6990...

Anyone wanna buy a 6990 when the 7000series comes out? Lemme know.

I plan to sell my MSI6990 413mhash/core@925core once the 7000's come out, So. When they come out, PM me, And i'll most likely sell you my 6990

I mined for about a week on my gaming pc (single 6950) before I realized I wasn't making any money at current prices, at that point I bought $200 worth of bitcoins, exchanged half of them to i0coins, and woke up today to realize that investment lost half its value in less than 24 hours.  Fun times, but nothing to do right now except tough it out, leave my money in there, and hope things turn around.  Oh, and buy more cheap i0coins

EDIT: I might buy your 6990 for a reasonable price when the 7000s come out.  I am more interested in gaming than mining, and for that it will be fine.

Indeed, and my target market is majority gamers rather than miners

Unless you have power generating devices, electricity is never free. Someone pays for it somewhere. Just saying Wink

I think people need to start qualifying what they are saying, even though for most of us the implication is obvious, free to the miner.

I don't know; I think some people mention it as if they get "free electricity" due to their own cunning, intelligence, or courage. It's ridiculous when you think about it.

Either they live with mom & dad, they're renting, or they happen to be in college.

They half imply that they're somehow more awesome because they had enough confidence in themselves to go ahead and call the electric company and insist on being switched to the "free plan", which most of us have insufficient manhood to do  Cheesy

I can say i have free energy, I bought soloar panels, Then the panels payed themselves off, Now the sun is giving me free energy!

Lol yes? no?

Aside from that, I feel confident that the only ones mining right now are:
People that dont pay thier own elecbill
People with a large mining Farm
People who just dont want to hit Off, on their comps for the night, when they could instead hit ON on thier miners

Hell 15/7 i run at -f250, And at night i swap to -f8
