Yes. that is still profitable provided you choose the right pool. not overloaded with miners.

So when you invest in gold and other mutual schemes or equity are you sure of the companies performance. And crypto trading against money is not allowed in most of the countries around the world. You can have OTC options, and this ban word is wrong to use in India for cryptos.

NOte: GPU can be resold to cover  back expenses, So called ban wont mean end of the hardware used...

Well just consider few things:

1. Yes at the moment profitability is on the lower end, but considering difficulty levels you can still mine XXXX cryptos. Difficulty levels mostly will go skywards. You can mine and wait fro the price increases. GPU and ASIC prices are related with crypto prices, they rise with rise on crypto prices.

2. the world is catching up with cryptos and you should not mind spending out to learn the things and consider it as investment or learning fees, you can do group buy with other friends and start experimenting.

Do not mine at this point of time where the government could introduce a all ban on the crypto and its related activities. So better to get clear direction else you will invest a huge money and then will realize that you have to wind up due to this which will make a huge loss for you.

hello, considering the electricity bill,  I want to know , is GPU mining is still Profitable i'm from India

How much profit you earn from this magicians? I haven't heard much about this coin.

Mining will last as long as cryptomarket exists.. this means profitability is always there.
use a web-based profitability calculator to run a cost-benefit analysis. You can plug in different numbers and find your breakeven point (after which mining is profitable). Determine if you are willing to lay out the necessary initial capital for the hardware, and estimate the future value of bitcoins as well as the level of difficulty. When both bitcoin prices and mining difficulty decline, it usually indicates fewer miners and more ease in receiving bitcoins. When bitcoin prices and mining difficulty rise, expect the opposite—more miners competing for fewer bitcoins. and the ongoing trading nature determines how much profits can you pull from your mining setup.

why don't you try cpu mining I can provide you upto 150 khps for magicoin, and 400 Hps for cryptonight based coins @Rs. 60K per annum
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
magi rigs for rent with very low one time payments. hashes upto 150khps and duration upto 1 year.

Yes, group mining is profitable but you have to join right pool . Sometime contributor  didn't get there share because of fraud so first do sufficient research about pool.

You should do more research before getting into the mining business!
The GPU mining is profitable, but you have to be well documented before start investing since a decent GPU mining rig is not cheap.

If you need help you can PM me, I'll give you more details about it!

Cheers!

It is indeed better to stay away or lets say not much option left now after the RBI crackdown which they have stated and this clearly says all that Indian govt is not supporting crypto. So never to get indulge in such things which can only bring loss as everything needs to be shutdown in coming time.

seems there is confusion about ASIC vs GPU.   

most cryptocurrencies will resist ASIC mining (BTC, XMR, etc) through protocol changes, upgrades, forks. This won't affect most GPU systems as they are FPGA and can be reprogrammed.  Only ASIC machines will be bricked. 

It is still profitable to mine with GPU but @nshadab's post is quite informative about the economics.

As of now GPU or any kind of mining is risky. Don't do specially if living in India. Let government and RBI finalize what side they will sit either with BTC to allow and take income-tax or banned it for everyone.

 

There is a lot of uncertainty about GPU mining right now after many asics have showed up for many coins including XMR which used cryptonight algo and was considered to be ASIC-resistant. XMR had to hardfork to brick all the asic and the huge amount of hashes which was brought to the network.

I wouldn't risk investing in mining (especially since you live in India) as the situation is the worst after the RBI's new regulation on cryptocurrency. Spend your money wisely, don't jump in without proper research or awareness about what is going on.

In a time when cryptocurrencies are becoming more mainstream and a more lucrative form of income for individuals all around the world, it's no surprise that technology continues to advance at a lightning-fast rate. For several of us, our journey started in the cryptocurrency space in the form of mining. Some of us started with GPUs and continued on as technology advanced and ASICs were developed. In an effort to curb this trend, newer cryptocurrencies that were supposedly ASIC-resistant were developed.

Bitmain has been consistently in the lead of ASIC development and ahead of all competition when it came to price vs hashrate and faster to market than any other manufacturer to date.

Once that ASIC comes online, it will destroy the profitability for GPU mining. Smaller miners will shut off their machines because it won’t be profitable for them to mine ethereum any more. It will crush the mom-and-pops.” First, the price has dropped on ether, and now with the ASICs, GPU mining will become even less profitable. That stronger processing power will make mining more difficult for GPU miners. ASIC machines have the capability to run through calculations at a faster rate than GPUs and solve more blocks at a faster clip, so the ether algorithms will increase the degree of difficulty exponentially for all ether miners attempting to unlock blocks.

Cryptocurrency players say they are concerned ASICs will transform the industry, because their high cost will make mining viable for only a small number of participants, including large companies and wealthy individuals. That could give these participants the potential to control a currency.

If two or three mining pools have more than 51% of the combined hash power, they can decide which ether blocks get mined and which ones don’t. The guys who created bitcoin (BTC) never envisioned GPUs being used to mine it or ASICs. They thought it would be democratized and everyone would mine it just using their computers. But now the only way to mine for bitcoin is to have an ASIC, and the power is consolidated around it.

Yes, during the distribution of antiminer f3 in july, eth mining will be profitable but after saturation of ASIC, it won't as btc nowadays it.

STAY AWAY if you dont know what you are going into.....

i think you should better start with this: https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator
you'll answer your question yourself.

GPU prices are SUPER HIGH, and ROI is just DIRT.

See... 1080ti the best one --- costing around MIN 90k ($1384.14 approx) in delhi, india; where as the ROI is $1.47/day on NeoScrypt.
So you need 941 days to get your money back.

Consider other issues also before following the blind race

1) RBI's crackdown on cryptocurrencies - Though it's not a very big effect, but only for ADVANCE PROFESSIONALS; still full of risk for newbies.
2) Also this is not just 90k, you need to buy new Power Supply for this GPU (17-20k), MotherBoard (7-10k), SSD (4-5k), 4 GB RAM (2k)
3) Also to cover just your GPU costs, you need to run your machine 24x7.
4) Electricity cost would be additional, this beast consume good amount of electricity depends upon the kind of Scrypt you are mining

Hello all,


Im Nob In Mining World I am wants to know that is GPU mining is still Profitable i'm from India
