if you know that its not profitable to do mining don't waste your electricity consumption, before doing or buying mining rig consider first if its profitable to do mining

i sold my rig too. is not profitable anymore. coins just get falling day by day. altcoins going to die very soon

I think after a few weeks, the price of altcoins will rise again. The rigs will be in demand again.

I have never tried mining but this seems not profitable as you have to invest a lot in advance. I will learn more about it. Hopefully I will understand it more and more

you could start mining with what you have

at least a dedicated CPU or GPU on it, of course don't expect profitability

learning hands on is way more exciting

you will gain knowledge and understand mining in no time

$0.06 per kwh and you can't find a profitable coin for mining?
I'm paying $0.22 per kwh and i'm still mining, my rig has low net profit per day because my electricity is very expensive, but i can profit about $4 per day(bitcoin at $6500).

Anyway you can mine and hold some months until bull market comes.

You are doing it wrong, in your case is all about trading, selling/buying coins.

Anyway, if the rx 480/580 was still selling for $180 then the roi would be around 300 days. 2 years ago btc was $200 and eth was $7, roi was 300 days, now btc is $6700 and eth $490 and roi is 700 days, it is all a huge mess, mining was never this bad since March 2015.

Exactly.  Get rich quick miners who invested too much in hardware and don't have the funds to pay for electricity can't wait months or years, before they run out of steam.  They had a bad business plan from the beginning and now they are shitting their pants.   Grin Grin Grin  ... It's the difference between those who mine for daily profit and those who mine for annual or longer time frame profits.

My business plan back in the fall of 2017 was based on pure speculation, as should all who are developing a mining plan today.  Don't put all of your eggs in one basket.  Don't put all of your available funds into mining hardware.  Learn to trade, learn to read charts and indicators.  Buy coins for long term holding and set aside a small percentage to trade, just to learn.

Personally, I don't sell any mined coins for fiat, and probably won't for a couple more years.  I do trade mined alts for btc though, when the time is right.  I think that's the most important part of gpu mining shit coins right now.  Know when to trade them for btc.

The difficulty still refuses to drop.

Sooner or later it will go up, that is the thought btc miners had or have, so they dont buy anymore miner but they do not stop mining it as long as electricity is not at loss.

Mining at a loss or mining at break-even is pretty much no different than being a hodl'er.

For some its easier to mine than to go to a Bitcoin ATM and withdraw BTC or to open an account with an exchange and buy their BTC by sending a bank deposit.

Hence this is the reason why, prices are low and yet the difficulty still refuses to drop. This is most likely going to be the trend for the next few months.

Even in 2015... when mining was hardly profitable with BTC. The difficulty still refuses to drop.

I know what hes talking about but 'I'm not to sure if he means trump is wining or not because when this trade war shit hits hard everyone in the US will fill it .. hes either giving you a warning or is a trump follower and is very delusional. ...it's one or the other .

Trump wants more money for the goverment, any money not charged goes to US people and trump does not want that. Many govs tax 100% or more for imported goods and that money goes to the gov and do you know who pays for it? the end buyer. The chinese will keep selling for example a gpu for $300 and if right now you pay $300 then if there is a 40% import tax then expect the same gpu $420, you need to understand that the chinese are still selling for $300 to you or to the world, those $120 goes from you to the US gov.

In places where is very cold on winter, mining is positive cause you get free heating and money, also, mining uses a lot less electricity on winter, about 20% - 40% less than on summer, meaning is worth on winter and worthless on summer. Smart people sold all their gpu's before summer and with the money and if mining will still be worth then might purchase the new nvidia in September for winter, so b uy in September and sell in April hehe.

Sold my mining rig in the beginning of April. Electricity here costs 0.13eur/kWh and the money I finally got from mining didn't really justify the heat and the loud sound from the GPUs anymore. During the winter months, the heat was very welcome  Cheesy

Same here in the winter it was nice because I like it a little warmer than the rest of the house. Im not one to complain about cold/heat but today it is just too hot for me, which says something so it must be very tough on the elderly.

Ive been super profitable making over $CAD2.50/day but now there is a heat wave and for the well being of other occupants of this house I shut it down today. Here's hoping by the time it cools down tonight I can turn the rigs back on. Our little window air conditioner cant compete with a 1300sq ft house with a 2 card rig and a single card + cpu rig. My consumption is around 480W and everything runs below 67°C even in this heat. Its just throwing off so much heat that our house is just far too hot.

You can make some profits. But the ROI is still long.
