Now the equipment is at good prices, but the yield is very low. Payback with such a return of about 2 years. Now it is better to invest in the purchase of coins

i think some coins with low diff can found at announcement. so it's time can mining. before high. and sell buy new equipment.

Definitely good time. The price went down a lot, almost 2 times lower comparing to december.
I'm slowly increasing the mining power of my farm now buying 2-3 new cards per week.

Read something lately. [Must be a rumour] Nvidia decided to launch the new GPUs with a driver version that may not be compatible with any miners right now. Like, you cannot mine any crypto using those drivers. Must be fake, anyhow what if it is for real?

I think even with the release of a new gpu platform by either AMD or Nvidia, there will be a lag time for mining software to be optimised for them.

Better to take advantage of the dip in prices for the previous gen, and mine with those. You can also just switch to another altcoin with a lower difficulty, to avoid fighting with high demand altcoins (like ETH).

lower difficulty needed. many new coins today i used for mine gpu then sell it even cheap. but with many coins. so that not problem Grin

if he think will dip eth crazy even 1 rack not enough Roll Eyes

I think it is better to wait for a new launch GPU's if they can release higher performance than the old GPU's then it is good choice to invest and buy them but always make sure to check the profitability because I'm sure the difficulty will increase again more if there is new GPU's release so if you early buy those cards then you can be benefited to mine early with those cards and old cards will be less revenue and will turn into unprofitable card except for other countries with cheaper electricity.

If you wait for new launch you always wait for the GPU because anytime it will launching the updated version so we should buy know the cost GPU is low in the market. This is the best time to buy GPU because the current market is low so demand is little less in the market and automatically price also less in the market. But if you wait for future this will going to peak.

Hardly. Its been over 2 years since Nvidia released a new gpu platform and over a year since AMD released a new GPU. Its not like the next best thing is released every 3 months

Yeah you don’t want to be ina situation wheree 290x and 280 users were in righ before rx480s came out. Basically with new obsolete and power hungry cards in your inventory when the new models are say 30 to 40 percent for powerful and 40 percent more efficent. I would wait son

It's up to you. The market is done and nobody knows when it goes up. You'd better count the profitability then decide buy or not buy.

If you care about current profitability, you aren't buying any mining hardware. The key is to not care about "current" profitability.

Well, when you can get a good deal on GPU then I'd say go for it. I have seen GPUs being sold here at a really great price, tbh the price has been so low that you could make some easy money reselling it later Wink

.

I see a point in mining if your electricity is really cheap or even free.

I think it mainly depends on the electricity price. If it is low, buy some GPU.

Face it trolls, if mining does not give you roi of 100 days or less, better not to invest on it, buy the coin and wait for the ultra pumps.

I just explained by comparing ASIC VS GPU without affecting OP to buy one of them.

See what OP is asked

Quote from: Manojdaran on July 21, 2018, 12:01:52 AM

Say, ASICs have dominated the crypto world. ASIC miners usually become obsolete within 10 months, right? Of course, I 'd be getting all that I invested in ASIC within that time, but post that no more revenue from it. Then, I have to buy a far more advanced [powerful] and quite expensive ASIC model. What's good in it?

buying ASICs or GPUs has the advantage and Risks include investments in coins

Are AMD or Nvidia planning on releasing any new gpu chips. I am getting tired of this RX 580/VEga, 1070 suff.

The 1180 seems to be just around the corner. I'd hold off on any GPU purchases until after summer if I were looking for the best deal.

https://www.pcgamesn.com/nvidia-gtx-1180-release-date-specifications

Latest 1170 leak shows 60% faster than 1070. Now the question is who will offer the best price/performance gddr6, amd or nvidia, i will side with amd again.

is amd will be colling?. i use nvidia and it's coller. 1060

Right now you'll make minus $0.96 running a A3 this is what asics do to profits once asics take over a chain its screwed look at D3 or L3 the only way to turn a profit is if you have free power I don't understand when a asics gets released why people get hyped up they wreck profits and are cancer to blockchains

That's a good point. One day, if ASIC overtakes the GPU market then we have to live with it sadly. GPU on the other hand is like a slow mechanism, profit gradually decreases over time. Sadly, ASICs are at a maximum nowadays.

i used many of asic. but we cannot easy too bro. why cuz if maintenance is taken longer than GPU. but asic make crack for price too this day~

Basically what the above poster said.

When people are making good money with mining... GPUs become expensive.
When people are making peanuts with mining... GPUs become cheaper.

The best time to mine was 2009...2010 where you could of found a few blocks using your Celeron CPU inside your laptop while soloming directly from the Bitcoin Core wallet.

The second best time to mine was 2011...2012 where you could of made a few BTCs every week mining with your Radeon 5950...6990 GPUs.

The third best time to mine was 2013 where your Radeon 7970/280X made a killing mining LTC during the late 2013 bubble.

The fourth best time to mine was 2016....2017 where your RX 470/480 GPUs made almost 1 ETH every week that you could of sold for $1400 at the beginning of 2018.

Now I don't see crazy 1000% profitability levels anymore.

Sure you can buy a GPU second hand, mine like 0.25 ETH with that GPU till the end of the year and when ETH goes to like $2000 you will make a profit of $500 and maybe lose a little on power and deprecation of the GPU.

But I am pretty sure gone are the days of making 5 or 6 figures from your mining rigs like in the past. I highly doubt ETH will do another 100x.
