all i hear is dread, and im planning to get into mining wit 1-3 th/s . any suggestion?
Its fine to buy that amount. Do the calculation and see if you can break even in a few months. If not, then its not worth it.
do not use a few months as your standard. use 6 months. no one can do a 90 day roi on mining. but 180 roi is possible.
basically the days of 20% diff jumps are done. we have averaged under 5% since nov.
The asic mad dog expansion is over. but we will still expand.
The 5% diff jump means your gear should last a bit longer. As a money earner. my 2 batch 1 s-3's still make money for me in a low cost for power spot.
The cost me 2.4 cents a kwatt I have 2 and they do 850gh and use 650 watts.
I have earned 3 coins with these 2 machines power has been 105 usd since july so I am 2.5 coins past power cost. I paid 1.35 coins for these 2. So I am ahead more then 1.15 coins
so these s-3's will be earning into 2016 see below.
5% diff jumps
