Topic: Are you mining for fun or profit? (Read 623 times)
my buddy runs for profit, i prob wont mine until i can get my hands on a asic usb, most likely for fun
I am currently mining for fun but my existing GPUs. But getting a small amount of profit along the way is nice too. By the way, I am seeing a lot of groupbuys in regards to various ASIC hardware. I am interested to read more and investigate further before investing on any ASIC hardware. Which particular one would you recommend checking out? And why? Your opinion is appreciated.
I'm mining at a loss at the moment 
Is it possible to mine for profit? 
Yeah I was planing to try either BTC Guild or CanaryInTheMine;
I'm in the process of getting some BTC now.
Things in bitcoin land seem to take a while!

I plan to mine for fun and learning if I can manage to get through all the hoops necessary to get some mining hardware!
I don't think I'll be able to make any real profit, at least for quite a while.
My first goal is to get a USB block erupter - probably not going to make any money off it but I'm sure I'll learn a lot along the way.

Do you have any good contacts for cheap bulk erupters?

check out this post, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/closed-group-buy-8-195-asicminer-erupter-usb-101618-ea-10-units-245477. I plan on getting my Erupters through Canary
Mining for both. Waiting on the 4 hours and post to go by so I can finally buy some miners.
I wish I could afford a mining rip and mine coins for fun:)

I personally mine just for fun at the moment. I have 2 of the USB ASIC miners I bought from ebay, so I'm not exactly a competitive miner. Looking to get into the BFL rigs once they are more readily available, but it just doesn't make sense to pay a 10x premium on gear at the moment.
I guess you could say I'm mining for profit, but I have not made an investment yet, therefore my profit is quite low. I'm just trying to see how everything goes.
Hi all. New here and was just wondering if you are mining for fun or profit. Ultimately I'd like a return on my money. If the machine pays itself back in one year I'm fine with that. It's essentially like getting free equipment. I started with GPUs but difficulty and electricity cost quickly killed that. Just waiting for my BFL equipment now.
