there were better things to mine in 2014, in 2015 i don't know i was not mining no real profit early 2015 with my power
monero was obscured by better alternative, unless back then it was possibile to reach crazy hash with a 970 like 1000 hash, not sure about the potential of this algo
or simply private miner for it well all over the place, like with byteball the cryptonote coin which monero copyed
Or we can look at the simpler solution here which is the miners have always sucked for Cryptonote and they needed to be improved but no one took a look at them for the last two years or so.
some day miners will understand the 4 dimensions ... but that require a brain and patience
i see you understand, antantti :p
Derp... My mission continues.
i was talking about the price obviously, not the coin itself, back it was dumped to the ground as low as 200k satoshi, not comparable with today
so dev weren't incentivated to do a better miner, not to mention there were far better option to mine at that time
And I mentioned that the difficulty has increased to match the price in addition to talking about the price. You know difficulty is correlative to how much you make, right? Literally right there... Even included links to charts.
Far better option then what? As I said put 500hash into whattomine and look at profits for a 1070. 970s had even less hashrate back then.
how can you compare now with what it was back then whattomine can't do anything, there were another better coins before, if you are talking about 2015
if you said "years" before and not "year" i can even assume 2014 which is even worse for monero, jackpotcoin alone put it to shame on profit
Wow dude, you can't even keep your responses organized and confuse yourself when talking.
wow
coming from you who makes totally unreadable posts, that must be a compliment.
btw: are you planning a Troll Anniversary of some sort soon ? 3 years of insane trolling, you should celebrate
bensam: making bitcointalk trolled again (and again, and again ....)
Coming from a self-proclaimed troll who has mentioned he should 'get paid for trolling SPs thread', not sure what to make of that.
The times are harder this year... since lbry launch in fact, at least the BTC rised.. something positive :p
but im a bit angry/disappointed by the community in general
Yup, with the uprising of Ethereum GPU mining has grown more centralized. Although profits in general have seemed to be on a down hill slope, it seems like profits are becoming overall more stable. IE less likely for things to become completely unprofitable as they sometimes used to.
Sadly the attention Ethereum has garnered hasn't been good. There is more and more large scale deployments happening and I suspect revenue per 1070 will eventually be pushed south of $1.
