Yeah, Price + Difficulty = S1 and Jupiter retirement.

All said and done about 50TH offline now. Dunno what I'm going to do with them.

The home mining is dead sometimes ago.

This isn't your example of home mining now is it? What I was reading was that his equipment was in a warehouse and he would be paying a different type of electric (probably commercial rate) This is usually a bit higher than your regular rate. Regardless homeminers shouldn't be looking to make a quick profit but a long one, if electric is low enough they can beat the price of coins by mining. (undervolted s1's and possibly s3)

At the end he isn't a farm , so this category is "home mining" with 1 - 2 or 50 Ths . Because he bought this asic hardware and he hasn't produced it , but the big farm produce the chip and mine whit it .

Hardware cannot reach a return on the investment. So... NO. Bad idea. Expect to lose your investment. Check calculators with a difficulty change over time to see if in 1 month you will be making the same... you won't be... there is simply too much hardware being brought online by too many manufacturers and they have only hurt themselves. Do not buy hardware, you will loose your investment. They are now knowingly trying to sell you goods they know you cannot profit from, but simple calculators say that you will.
Good Luck.

I tried cloud minning at cex.io and hashop.io and then I regret.
waste a money.

In cloud mining there is conflict of interest between cloud service provider and the customers.
The level playing field for both of their are "almost"(Not all) same.

After Antminer S3, it very difficult to survive as a home miner.
BTC value got corrected too much instead of jerking at or above $1000.

If bitcoin survives the following months and rises again it will just show how motivated the community is.
Let's give it time and see. It may yet be one of the best decissions in your life (or the worst).

For me it's basically a experiment, to see if I can get to ROI or not, even if the odds/math are stacked against you.

Why do gold miners mine at a loss? {They just love the gold} It's a rush to see Satoshi's being created out of nothing. Grin

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I like it.

At the current price of BTC mining is not profitable even if electricity charges are not factoring in.
When saying not profitable, I mean no ROI for any mining hardware whether its new, second hand or cloud-mining at their current price.
These manufacturers need to drop the price from highs to get the business back for home miners and small farm owners.

this isn't true. it depends on the cost of electricity and how much you buy the mining gear for

Yes it depends on as you said. But I said about the current facts.
No mining hardware is available to buy to ROI at this time.

Why are you people complaining? Mining is good if you can do the math first and calculate if you gonna be on top or not. The only factor that can change really is bitcoin price or difficulty of mining. Everything else you can calculate before.

I only think that mining at home is great when you got PV systems or a wind generator, etc. You know, free electricity... the costs with energy is so f***** high. omfg.

Most people mine because they think they can mine more coins than the cost of the miner PLUS the resale value of the miner before the miner becomes obsolete.

buy used asic cheap and mining is profitable still even at $300. with decent elec prices.

BTC would have to be about $100 for me to lose profitability right now with 0.064 power rate

u gotta have a stragtegy, treating it as a money printing machine will almost always lose. to profit u gotta put some effort in , research the whole industry daily. buy and sell, trade hardware/cloudmining, u gotta be flexible to get in and out of the market depending on the situation.

There's a handful of cloud mining services that allow you to hit ROI in a decent timeframe:

LTCGear
Gawminers Hashlets
genesis-mining.com

I think one of the keys is to reinvest your earnings to keep accumulating your hashpower.
