My electrical cost are .055 per kw

so when resale do i upgrade to larger units or newer ones? when do i make the decision to grow it.

also if i feel like dumping money into this what would be a break even after 6 months? would i have to spend 1000's or 10,000' or more?

is bit coining still the future.

Bitcoin and Crypto are the future, but mining at home is for all intents and purposes, dead.

No need to pump in more money into dead money, you'll just lose more money unnecessarily.

If you want to just accrue more Bitcoin, buy it.  Simple as that.

Depends, what is your energy/electrical costs?

Really, the only miners you should consider buying:

or

That said, unless your costs are $0.04 or $0.05 kW/H, I wouldn't count on mining for ROI or profit.

If your costs are this low, then I personally would mine with the aforementioned miners in the links for like 3-4 months tops, then resell the miners on Ebay for max profit.

Hello,

I am new here looked into mining back in 2013, didn't do it as time was not on my side with stuff. Looking into it now as a fun hobby/investment. But was wondering what it would take to make it worth my wild.

Energy is cheap here, so thinking of starting small, or smaller. What would be the suggested gh/s \ th/s size i should look at starting and what type of investment i want to make. Should i look into 5-10 th/s to even think about starting to mine which would run around $2-$5k. or starting small and moving up? Back when i originally looked into starting to mine was when you used gpu now it totally different. I see a lot of posts about what everyone things about mining.

Just want some opinion to see if I should start or not.

been looking to antminer s4, s5's
yukon 35 spondoolies
usb cards

everything, but not sure if this is something to get started on. I see the long term effect and ability but to volatility is pretty crazy from 2013 15$ a btc to 1k in a couple months. I know that wont happen again or anytime soon.

But what is a realistic look for a newb to start mining. would my money be better spend in stocks or something stupid.

Thank you for the input
