ROI about 200-250 days right now

if you mine the right stuff at the right time you can get it down to 100 days or less Smiley

What electricity cost per KWh are you using?

0.20usd or 0.136gbp ( worked out at 100 days ish when the price was 30-32 usd / ltc )

It'd be more profitable to just buy bitcoins.

This is not always correct.

Hi

I using BTCs from some time

but still not know much about mining
I search on google too but not still exactly understand how its work?

can anyone tell me its possible we just make LTC or BTC our own? what costs?
is there any normal computer like P-4 computer can works? or specially designed devices required for all mining works?

its possible to start create btc ltc and mining with under 10,000 US Dollars start up cost
is there chances that we just lost all our investment without getting any ROI via mining work?

waiting for friendly help
take care

I would only recommend building a PC for mining if you were going to build a PC anyway and will just upgrade/add some parts to gain mining capacity.

Or if you are going to mine altcoins.

Thank you very much for giving me tips  Grin

Good luck in building your mining rig. You can have a super fast rig for that price.  Smiley

It can definitely be a good idea but always remember the difficulty of mining your chosen coin can change so I would always plan and make very conservative estimates so you are not expecting too much too soon.

For 3k5$ you can build a super scrypt mining rig:

Get a 1200W high quality PSU, e.g. Corsair CX1200
Get motherboard with 4 graphic slots
Get 4 x ATI Radeon R9 R290x GPUs 4 GBGDDR5 (or simular).

Then are you ready to mine scrypt at ~4MH/s

Im sure you can find more info around the forum about picking the exact part.

Happy mining.
