I'm glad you broke even on 10 dollars and all, but what if I told you that the 10 dollars of value you see today is like 1000 dollars 3 years from now and if you would've kept mining you couldve made .013 btc instead....or if you mined alts you couldve made .25 BTC which is already 150% more.
I elected to stop as BTCGuild charges a fee for any payout less the 0.01(as do most pools.)The next generation of ASICs will likely ship soon, this will make the time needed to earn another 0.01 incredibly long.
I never cashed out, nor do I have any intention on cashing any of my BTC out.
I will consider cashing out if, I have a dire financial need(unlikely), or I am near death from old age and need funeral money(2064-2084?).
EDIT: It is unlikely I will need BTC for funeral expenses either, death is a inevitable expense. As someone who lives within his means I will have all money for my funeral set aside prior to death. I will probably just put all my bitcoins into a physical coin and either hide it like treasure or give it to descendants(if I have any.)
I still have the ASIC in question, Please tell me which of these altcurrencies I can get such good payout with my ASIC?
okay good - keep your BTC as long as you can! That is a tough question to answer because there are new ones all the time. Just because I tell you Mine PPC its up to almost .01 per PPC right NOW, you could take my advice, but it may not be valid by the time you read it because the price already dropped or the difficulty skyrocketed as everyone else is trying to hop on board and mine some, I myself have been switching around between betacoin unobtainium and joulecoin. Keep an eye on the pools though - just have a failover setup going so you're mining another pool or altcoin so that your hardware isnt idle. I made a healthy sum from my fpgas mining freicoin and terracoin a little while ago when block erupters were new and difficulty got out of control on those (I was making .01 a day on two 400 mh/s fpgas earlier on)
