Before electric cost I'm getting $2.33 per 1080 gtx ti per day, After electric cost probably just $1.50 a day at $ 0.15 cent watt rate. That's pretty pathetic return compared to what the asics are getting now, At least $15-$30 per day.
I'm not giving up but at the same time it's much better to just buy the coins at current stage of mining and price levels. Or focus on something else. Currently gpu mining is not lucrative like it used to be and you have to rely on future appreciation or a pump to get your money's worth out of it. Not a good position to be in currently.
Just sayin, might be worth looking into masternode coins/staking/buying coins instead of over investing all your money in just gpu
100% a year is a bad roi ? you are being greedy mate. And remember, you can sell your 1080ti for 50% of purchase price so easily. If it's still reasonably new and you have all the receipts you are probably gonna get bit more. ASIC goes to bin once you done with it.
1 year roi is just for the cards only. Once you add in the cost of everything else to build the machine its much longer than a year and by that time it's time to upgrade to more efficient cards. Plus exhaust vent fan, air filter, electrical setup and your time and maintenance. I'm not greedy and if I've invested 10k in a GPU rig, I cant even buy a cup of coffee as that will kill my ROI.
Go look on the D3 antminer and litecoin miner threads. They are all crying that they can't roi in 6 weeks and they are not satisfied with $30 to $60 day per asic. Thats greddy
not necessarily greedy if you account for the price they payed asics for.
I mean 1080Ti has double the hashrate on equihash than 1060 for instance, of course you're gonna pay more for 1080Ti than 1060, generally, the same goes for asics. It's scaling, but asic mining is more unpredictable and riskier than gpu mining and I never liked it... GPU FTW!
I agree about risk. Imagine worst case scenario, governments declare crypto is illegal, anyone caught using it will be jailed for 5 years. Crypto crashed 90%.
1080tis will be worth at least $450. Since I bought them at a discount, mostly $659, I lose $200 per card, about 30%. My ram even doubled in value lol, and those pentium G4560s retain value well. Mining motherboard probably lose half it's value, but it can be used as a normal LGA1151 board. My Vegas were bought at MSRP, probably will lose 15% on them. And polaris cards may reach sub $100, but those have ROI-ed many times already. PSUs well, they are still 1200/1600W top tier psus with 10 year warranty. Lose 25% on them I guess.
ASCIs will be worth nothing, a 100% loss.
Not to mention you gotta wait 2 months + for ASCIs, meanwhile you could get GPU rigs running in a day.
For ASCIs, they rightfully should have better ROI than GPUs due to higher risk + shipping delay.
To simply things, assume GPU rigs lose 50% of value in a crash, while ASCIs lose 100% of value. It means to equate risk profiles, we should compare earnings from $10k of ASCIs to $20k of GPU rigs.
