I'm using the Nice miner just because I already have a high end rig.  I heard they pay, it's not a scam is it?

Hi, welcome on board. Well, I am not impressed with the idea of Bitcoin mining unless you have a huge mining farm at this moment. Bitcoin mining is a serious business now and we should leave it for those who treat it in that way so if you are going to do it in a professional manner then you have a slight possibility of earning handsome profit but if you are sitting on GPU with little mining hardware then I am skeptical about the results of efforts in Bitcoin mining.

While there are many other coins much easier to mine, Bitcoin mining could be considered relatively less profitable when compared to others. Because of the block difficulty going higher and higher, the amount invested in rigs, electricity and maintenance will not be compensated too much as the profit factor is pretty low.

The thing is miners will not sell freshly mined coins if it weren't profitable, the companies that mine currently are probably holding large quantities of Bitcoin. They consider everything, electricity, taxes, and equipment deals and trajectory of these things to be in the business of mining Bitcoin. I participated in cloud mining with two companies and have already profited from both in less than a year and what's nice is they gave me life long contracts.

Bitcoin mining is not profitable anymore for the average Jo, because you need expensive ASIC chips to mine BTC. Some other Alt coins with ASIC resistant technology can still be mined, but it is also becoming very competitive. So, mining Alt coins would be your best bet, if you are coming into this with a low budget.

I would suggest that you use the online mining profitability calculators to see what Alt coin would suit your budget. ^smile^

bitcoin mining in 2017 and next year I think it's still very profitable, although the number of bitcoin is decreasing but we know alone with the very high increase of bitcoin price that has a good profit, mining is a very good investment for the future.

Hi guys. Newbie here.

Just want to hear your ideas if mining in 2017 is still as lucrative as the previous years?

especially with the upcoming halving.

Thanks for the insight!!!


Not as viable now as before when problems were as easy as 1 2 3. That is, if you're mining bitcoins. If you have an idea in mining coins other than bitcoins, then mine them. Just not bitcoins because you'll end up mining little with you spending more money on electricity and pc parts. I wouldn't mine bitcoins in 2017.

based on my experience with my cloud mining efforts during last year's scam I have done many times. and this year 2017 does not change all cloud mining. all cloud mining sites I've tried becomes a scam. I have not yet found a legit and profitable site. maybe theres a legit site but I do not know yet.

the "upcoming" halving is not for a couple of years. 2020 to be exact.

and mining bitcoin is always something that will be profitable. most of the time profitable by a lot for example if you can find away to buy latest ASIC miners cheaper (eg be in China), or find a way to have cheaper electricity (some countries have much cheaper electricity cost).
and with bitcoin price rising it remains the most profitable thing to do. and with the way difficulty works it will remain profitable because for example if it stops being profitable, miners will leave and difficulty will come down and it becomes profitable again.
