thanks for the swift response.
so, building a rig with what Im thinking is not possible since the hazard and low ROI.
If bitcoin will be my path, what is my best way to invest and get involved?
If you're talking about bitcoin mining, then yes, you simply can not ROI (let alone make any profit whatsoever) by building a CPU/GPU rig. It's not just a hazard and low ROI, it's basically throwing a perfectly good machine away for 0 income.
If you build a mutli GPU rig, you can ROI on altcoins, but i can't really give you any advice about that. People in the altcoin mining subforum however, will probably be able to point you in the correct direction.
IF you decide to start mining bitcoins, first calculate everything:
- the total cost of your farm : initial purchasing cost of the ASIC(s), the repair costs (bitmain, the vendor that sells the most efficient miners only has 3 months of guarantee), the S&H, the income tax, the shelves, the cooling, the PSU's, the wiring,...
- the total cost of your power bill (an S9 draws about 1400 Watts)
In the end, the break-even point for me is around a power cost of 10 cents/Kwu. If your power costs more, i wouldn't take the risk to start mining bitcoin. If your power is less, you *might* mine profitable (if you by the right ASIC and all other parameters are OK)
