Topic: Smartest way to maximize the mining profits? (Read 1405 times)
if you have a GPU and not a FPGA/ASIC, mine altcoins whenever it's profitable http://dustcoin.com/
But is there transaction fees if you keep the balance in your Mtgox account (either in BC or in real $$)? Even if the fee is 0.6% and you are capitalizing on 10-15% swings in price, you are STILL coming out way ahead.
Efficiency is the only way to do it, you'll lose your shirt on the market, the fees alone will drain your account... slowly and methodically.
Just take into account:
The Cost of living
The efficiency of your Mining Rig.
The Cost of Electricity
Average Daily Bitcoin generation/month
Average increase bi-weekly in difficulty over a year.
Maximum cost effectiveness of the system; At what difficulty is your mining rig going to be useless at current market value of BTC
How long it takes to order a ASIC
when will you have to upgrade to maintain your current standard of living.

ADVICE: Don't forget about monetary efficiency, be frugal.
Stop exchanging into fiat currencies if you are a miner, support the Bitcoin community buy from retailers that accept bitcoins. order, upgrades, food, pay rent if you can in bitcoins.
Let the people trying to get into the market control the price: live off your bitcoin earnings.
spend your bitcoins at stores when the price is high, hoard it when it is low and wait for when your purchasing power increases.
monitor the markets to know when to buy your groceries, etc.

For every dollar lost there is a dollar gained, less exchange fees. If it was easy to trade everybody would do it. Obviously some people sold at $40 seeing BTC double instead of holding. Unless they got back in under $40 you think they did well?
For a while, I thought the best way to make money from Bitcoin was to mine it. Then I saw the market and I thought, my not treat it like stocks and short it or day trade? Now, I think the best way is to do both. Mine (if you can), and constantly flow that money into your Mtgox account. Several times a day, buy bitcoins with your account money and sell them. The massive fluctuations in a 24 hour times-span is unreal. You can constantly buy and sell and make serious cash. All the while, still trickling in your mining proceeds to add to the endeavor.
