Yet people continue to dump insane amounts of money into miners, as is evidenced by the recent huge jump in difficulty, from 79 BILLION to 93 BILLION in one shot, with around 677 PETAHASH of total mining going on.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
notlist3d - you think it is FUN to mine with low powered machines? Let me tell you my idea of fun. Making money. Not what you are doing.
You obviously have not read many threads with me in it. I find it fun to run a few... and I expect 0 back that is true.
For my real mining area I do respect a ROI and profit. But I spent a heck of a lot more on it and the miners in it then 3 U3's and some compacs. You should do a little research in all honesty.
If you don't find tinkering and playing with miners fun... you are the one doing it wrong. I enjoy mining even my solo miners that likely never see payback. Funny thing is one day when I get board I likely will get a decent part of my money selling the U3's and compac's. And I got the fun of playing with the U3's and compacs.
