Soo winner winner gonna mine some chickendinner coin??
I'm sure that will be a coin soon.
So what you thinking for your 6k??? You could get a fair few Mhash for 6k.
Any thoughts on making a rig?? I've seen some people really go to town making great looking machines.
I still have not decided what to do.. i don't want to lost money..
There have been very few times in the history of bitcoin when buying mining gear paid off better than just buying coins.
Buy mining gear if:
- you have insider access to new gear that's not available to the general public yet
- you have unlimited free power and a very reliable internet connection
- you love gambling and can afford to lose your investment
Otherwise buy coins directly and do your part to build the bitcoin economy.
I really appreciate your opinion.. you're really so sure that the price of bitcoin will increase? everyone say to buy and hold.. but i am not so sure to invest so much money, for something that i can't control.. i was pretty sure that invest on hardware was better.. but as i say, i don't know if try with antminer, or script rig, or wait some time for watch what happen.. but more time i wait, more i realize i am wasting time..
If you buy mining gear you're just as much exposed to the Bitcoin-price. If the Bitcoin-price drops, your mining output measured in $ will drop along side it.
The fact of the matter is that right now, buying X
BTC worth of Bitcoin mining gear will with very high probability not yield more than X
BTC of total income. So no matter what the Bitcoin-price does, you're most likely getting better returns from just buying coins than from buying Bitcoin-mining gear.
Scrypt-mining is a nice alternative, but it's also quite a competitive environment, so don't expect to just plug in a machine, fire it up and watch the money flood in. To maximize returns you have to mine different coins at different times. Additionally, a $6K investment means you'll have several machines running, which increases the amount of work you have to do to maintain everything.
