Gigabit, Thank you for supporting Digibyte and the network!
I'm sure that you made the right decision to step into Digibyte and i like the way you look at the future of Digibyte.
Hope to see you back sometimes
Thanks, it's encouraging!
Let's say I'll still mine DGB a lot more during "Difficulty Hedges"...
If the feeling's like I mine Bitcoin for nothing, I'll move some of my larger hashers over to Alts to feel like I mine more
Not the smartest way to mine but it works for me, some of my Alt stashes are dear... selling off some more today.
My power's free, so I don't care if I don't sell anything for power.
It's good miner mentality to want to "Diversify Your Assets"... don't put all your eggs in one basket so to say.
No one should mine and take home no loot... then you're a sucker, it's not what mining's all about... it's about striking it rich!
As a Gold knowing person, I can say... there wasn't just one Gold Rush in history, there's been many... and history repeats itself.
The first digital gold rush was the pioneers of Bitcoin who mined for no profit, made sacrifices and sold at $1,000... #FilthyRich.
Bitcoin was the first! #CaliforniaGoldRush (~1849) we could be in the second one... #Klondike Gold Rush (~1890) - Still Rushing Today
Klondike Gold Rush never really ended... only the big companies left... see what I mean, how I base my decisions? #History
Only, in this day in age, you have to figure everything out on your own, no one will/can tell you the future... that's how you win now. #History
Back then, word got around fast because (lol) there was no money at all!!
Only other coin where I have some vested interest is in DeM because of PoS is pretty neat and devs seem cool over there too.
Besides, reason for retirement is heat related, looking to cut down a lot for this summer; they come back on next winter to save on heat.
Just about 800GH/s of S1's turning off, still gonna keep S3's there for a long time; plus putting my mine in another room.
One of those S1's was there since the fork and kept it there, except during shutdowns and random ICO's, might keep it for fun, it's ugly
Big news coming soon!! Gonna be a big one!
I still want some cheap coin but also need some more hardware soon.
Going to be hard NOT to sell DGB once next-gen miners are released, since I am so low on BTC now.
I'm against even selling 1 DGB
Thanks for your ideas in both comments GigaBit. I think your mining strategies seem completely logical. I'm not in the same circumstance because I don't mine SHA, and I only mine DGB now. I also think Digishield and multi-algorythm mining are some of the greatest advantages of DGB (they provide lots of flexibility for all our different approaches). Many other alt coins have struggled to maintain distributed mining as they have aged (it's resulted in some merged-mining and some really problematic issues with centralization) ... I don't think DGB will struggle with that problem at all. It also opens up opportunities for equipment purchases that allow diversity. Like you, I'm starting to consider warmer temperatures and how they will impact my mining, I'll probably mine mostly at night and leave them off during the days to cut down on costs. And, as you mentioned next-generation equipment ... I thinking that by mid-to-late-2015 we'll see possibilities for some really great - and super efficient - hardware that will return some hope to individual miners. But, I'm not seeing as much on the scrypt front as with SHA, so I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed, or switch if there's a really great opportunity in different hardware. Like you - regardless of my mining decisions - I completely support the coin and its future.
