It is worth your money and time as you can check in a mining profitability calculator the break even period of a bitcoin miner is about 4 to 5 months, so it is quiet a good investment per se. And what return we get in the real world per year, 10 to 25% max? See in bitcoin mining you can double or maybe triple your money in same amount of time. 
Topic: Should we risk mining bitcoins ? - page 6. (Read 2486 times)
While mining BTC is out of the question if you are hoping to get any rewards... it is still good that we establish a culture of mining even at a loss. If you want to support BTC, then mining at a loss is better than nothing. Of course, most people can't afford this, but if you have a lot of money, and you have a big BTC investment, you want to help your investment by mining the blockchain yourself. If everyone holding 100+ BTC (for example) did this, the network would be more decentralized. Just take it as if it was a subscription fee for something.
Now if you are a regular guy wanting to make money, mining some alt than then pumps it's still a valid strategy. When I was a noob, I made 0.5 BTC thanks to the big Dogecoin pump. I mined half a million Dogecoin with my AMD 7850 GPU.
For the love of Bitcoin and the community, your proposition isn't a bad one, but I foresee only a few large hearted veterans ever wanting to embark on such a giving back to the society venture especially at a time like this, when the price of Bitcoin is at its ATH. Perhaps a more beneficial approach for the community, would be to break China's dominance of mining hardware. That way overall cost of mining would become reasonable and attractive, anyone willing to mine, would mine. The concern for cost of electricity can always be taken care of with the production of highly efficient machines.Now if you are a regular guy wanting to make money, mining some alt than then pumps it's still a valid strategy.

However and until then, the best choice would be to buy all the Bitcoin you want and hodl, second would be to mine altcoins and subsequent exchange to Bitcoin.

It's okay to risk in mining if you have a huge mining rigs that can mine for you 24/7. But, if you only have a low class rig then better to look for another way of earning Bitcoin. Your mining earning with a low class rig will not compensate your expense especially your Electricity Bill. For us simple or ordinary people who can't afford a quality mining rig must not engage in such activities. As this could cost us fortune.
Mining bitcoins need a lot of money before you can say that you are making money or getting profits from mining bitcoin because bitcoin has already got a high difficulty and the simple graphics card or computer machines will not able to mine bitcoin anymore and the best thing to mine for me is just go for altcoins like ethereum instead of bitcoin.
And not only this, but the electricity costs should be considered too. In many countries it's expensive and worthless if we calculate the proportional profit made. To mine Bitcoins doesn't worth anymore, let this activity for big mining businesses. You may have luck mining AltCoins if its price increase meanwhile or after you mine, but keep in mind it can be a waste of time and effort tooif the currency dies or lose too much its price.

It's only worth mining bitcoins when you invest lots of money into it, with the high value of the currency now , I think it's really worth mining it and you will able to recoup all the money that you have invested in it as time goes on. But you must take into account the power consumption before you take everything into account.
You have to know that working on the Internet is very dangerous and Bitcoin whatever the degree of protection that surrounds it needs to risk and you should know that well
It depends mainly on 3 things.
1 your electricity cost (if you have your own power source mining could be worth the trouble)
2 amount of money you can spend (the more the better)
3 your location (it would be unwise to start a farm in a dangerous country like some of those in Africa, or in a place where people are poor in general and might want to steal from you)

You must have a good server, consider the price or cost of electricity and depends on the coin you want to mine ! Mining btc is not recomenned from my opinion . On above all , Electric bill is the one which you would consider most because you don't mine 2-3 hours ! You mine 24/24 ! That's my electric bill in my country ! Electric is expensive ! But if in your country , Electric is cheap , go mine -> mine BTC go because electric is cheap !
It depends... Mining Bitcoin is profitable for those who can access very cheap electricity and hardware. That is the start. Then you have to find a place to run your hardware. Depending on how large the operation will be? This is another cost. Then you need to know what you are doing, so theres a lot of learning in the process. Good luck!
If you invest into cloud mining contracts than you might loss all your investment but if you can afford to run mining hardware by yourself than you can make a good profit in long term by both mining bitcoin yourself or offering your mining power for others through nicehash and miningrigrentals.
I doubt if solo mining of Bitcoin is still profitable unless you are an owner of big mining farm. Bitcoin mining today is not at all profitable. Instead of investing in monry and time in mining. Buying Bitcoin through that amount is more profitable in long term.

It really depends on where you live. If you live in a place where the climate is a cold (not freezing) and the price of electricity is one of the lowest in the world, then you have a chance at mining. If not, don't even bother, your profits will get eaten up by the cost of running a miner. It's better to just buy bitcoins and just watch the price go up.

Unfortunately nowadays unless you have a lot of money to invest into your mining farm and cheap electricity it's really not worth it to try mining for a profit.That is, unless you want to try to mine a new altcoin and hope it increases in value.
All that is done must have a risk, big or small that we do. Including bitcoin mining, bitcoin mining will have a risk on the Hardware used. If the hardware used to mine is not able to accommodate all transactions then the hardware will be problematic. 
the more you invest, the more you gain. so if you intend to mine you have to choose wisely the cryptocurrency to mine and the hardware to do so.
these days mining is not profitable only if you invest big amount of money.

I think mining is not advisable for us simple users only or to those who cannot have a well decent mining rig. If we look back 2012-2013 that were the best time to mine for Bitcoins since according to my friends who use to mine they can easily earn Bitcoin in a span of a day. Well, as of today before you mine you must evaluate your expense especially Electricity. If you are to mine you need to leave your rig 24/7 to gain your expectations. Electricity would be your first problem above looking for a good mining rig. Bills will definitely cost you a fortune if you don't have enough research or background studies on how to save energy while doing mining.

It largely depends upon which Cryptocurrency you want to mine. Mining Bitcoin isn't worth your time and investment unless you have a huge mining farm or really cheap electricity. Various other cryptocurrencies such as ETH, Zcash, dash etc can be profitable depending upon your hardware and electricity cost.You can check profitability of mining various coins here

If you have free electricity or really cheap one than you can consider mining bitcoin still profitable also you have to invest a big sum in initial stage to buy mining hardware to start a mining farm.
Neither electricity is cheap nor I have big bankroll to invest in mining farm, so mining bitcoin is not an option for me.

It would really be worth it if you do have the money to put on it (Large scale mining) and also consider the price or cost of electricity on your place, it would be much worth if its cheaper because in this case you would really end up on being profitable and reaching ROI in a short period of time. If you do have the money to spend, why not? As long you do know on what you are doing. Jump to:
