I am curious to hear your investors strategy
I typically hold all my coins earned, pay for everything in fiat, and resell old gear to buy new gear to grow my hash power. However, thinking of investing my coins into new gear if ROI is fairly quick which will allow a larger growth in hash power
I am a retiree ... me and a few retired buddies decided to invest in BTC and ETH mining and trading in 2015.
If you can get a few buddies to co-invest... then you can explore larger farms and more diverse mining or trading. Explore Phil's smart strategy too.
Its good to be a miner this year!
Good luck to all of us this year and beyond.
Some advanced retirees there...respect!
My 2c...sometimes it is not even that important to have the most recent card.
One can buy Asus R9 380 4gb for $100 quite easily and it does at least 20Mh/s in eth or $43/mo, currently.
Even with $8-10 electricity, the card if free in 3 mo, much faster than RX 480 in eth or 1080 in zec. Granted, you can get more total hash with better cards, but also more initial outlay.
My game plan is to mine until eth goes POS, then stake with 30% of the coins. A good excuse to buy a nice computer.
ETH will switch to PoS ? When will it happen ? I can tell you that the day it will happen, GPU mining will be dead, as you will have plenty of GPUs switching to other altcoins and that will hammer to death any profitability on those.
GPU mining will be dead
Like the last years?
Why keep people telling this...
Some people want to scare off buyers of gpu/pc rigs.
Time and time again I have said encourage need gpu miners.
My reason applies to gpu/pc mining only.
has anyone watched intel commercials with the guy from big bang theory. They spend money to get you to buy intel gear.
Well the pc/desktop/gpu/gaming industry has slumped as people want small things not desk tops.
the mining craze helps so many companies they can buy some coin to make us want more mining gear.
So I encourage anyone that games to mine while they sleep.
I believe that more gpu mining will cause
Intel
Amd
Nvidia
every mobo company
every psu company
every ram company
every ssd company
to toss some money at alt coins so that we are willing o expand our mining farms.
