the last time when i checked i think etherium was on top,but it consumes a lot of power and capital to set up. Cry
price increases as the watt usage increases and depends from state to state.

Now that ethereum price went suddenly from 400 to 700 mining is again highly profitable. If difficulty will remain the same, ROI will be about one month. But for sure difficulty will skyrocket, let's see how fast.

ParameterValue
Network Hashrate23740.25
Hashrate Increment0.05
Network Blocktime15.09
Miner Hashrate(Mhs)150
Eth Price677.41
Price per KWatt0.1
Hardware Power(Watts)1150
Hardware Cost($)2000


Given the above values, a mining rig will generate:

I dont see it much profitable as i gone through some of the charts.
The investments and expenses are huge and the return is not soo good.So i dont think its profitable.

That changes with time, and care to explain what charts and what returns instead of just being general  Huh

This particular attack vector is specific to theDAO but the vulnerability is in Ethereum itself; since you can write anything in a turing complete language you can also write the virus to penetrate the underlying sandbox vm. You will see more such exploits in other smart contracts..

Is it safe to invest in ETH, after the news of hacking
The hack was on DAO, but it has lowered stakeholders trust on the Smart Contract concept.
It will have an effect on ETH price, but it is safe to mine

You wont be hacked in Ethereum, the coin itself is completely safe.

Thanks..

Also where can I purchase ETH through BTC?

Use any exchange like Poloniex, etc. I have 2x 5 gpu mining rigs for ethereum, so any questions, you can ask...

Some points which I posted in another thread but it suits the best here. Have a look.

Practically mining ETH is not that hard but making a ROI is because :
1. You have to calc. the price of whole rig (Motherboard, RAM, Processor, etc.) to carefully plan your ROI.
2. The graphic cards overheat if not maintained their heat levels.
3. Cannot implement immersion cooling. (Still working on this)
4. Upgrade in hardware like the SSD/HDD 'cause the applications developed stay on the blockchain.
5. The whole network has to be synced before you mine.
6. Cards can go bust/worn out. (life isn't guaranteed)

and many more. these are just the basics. Think about it. An do let me know if I'm wrong at any point. It'll be much appreciated.

Based on my calculations Ethereum Cloud Mining is not profitable unless you can rent it much more cheaply than I've been able to find anywhere. You're better off just buying ETH on an exchange and holding it.

The Ethereum mining profitability calculators I've seen assume the network hashrate is static, when it's been growing rather rapidly. This means you are sure to OVERESTIMATE the amount of ETH mined.

Right now I wouldn't be willing to pay more than around $14 per MH/s of hashing power for a year. I'm not aware of any cloud miners that offer pricing anywhere close to that.

This is an established fact that all cloud mining except perhaps Hashnest are there to just loot your money.

But you could try investing and making your own Eth Miner.

Can you provide more details about mining rig rentals? How much profit will be there for buying 1MH/S @ 0.0003 BTC/MH ?

is there any etherum cloud mining?
i dont want to end up purchasing hardware

I did for a month when it was profitable, by the end of the month I realised that the probability of getting profit for the 2nd month wasnt much so I didnt.

P.S I used AWS for cloud mining because if u use cloud mining companies there is no chance in this entire world you will ever profit.

See all ethereum cloud mining companies here: http://www.cmmonitor.com/ethereum-cloud-mining/

Sab aap ko loot rahe hai.

Profit karna hai kya?

Ye lo

https://www.miningrigrentals.com/rigs/hashimotos

Wait for a time when the rental price is at least below 0.0003/ MH and that should give you the chance to profit when/if the price increases. I recommend you just hold them though, the ones that are mined until they are worth cashing out..

Still I would recommend trading rather than mining....

if you have free time, Ethereum trading can make you a lot of money if you can understand the trends and be patient.

Also it is possible as expected that after halving prices of bitcoin would soar to an extent. Now this is where Ethereum comes in picture as its priced compared to Bitcoin at that time would be marginal. So shifting may take place at that time provided price rises of bitcoin. Also if price reduce or something that sort than you may never know.

See I would say you should probably keep it in Bitcoins until around the bitcoin price skyrockets (any time during or after July) and after transfer it into ethereum. You may get a 20-30% at leastincrease itself from bitcoin after the halving of the mining block reward which should cause the price to go up. I would say to then transfer it to Ethereum because it is going to switch into PoS where we should also see at least a 50% price increase.

Right now the Ethereum price anyways isnt a friendly buying price, but IMO if you see it between 9 and 10 dollars then there isn't any harm in going Ethereum early - and if you have free time, Ethereum trading can make you a lot of money if you can understand the trends and be patient.
