got a KNC Jupiter I expected to make ROI in a lesiurey fashion in say 9 months to 1 year...as I expected hype to slow down etc more equip etc.....mad ROI in 25 days
started mining oct 18th I think coin then was around $150
Does that include your power consumption?
heh power consumption being really really optimistic and selling at 600 bucks BTC at
www.mtgox.com minus the $7,131.80 USD I spent w/shipping (and not counting power supply)for the KNC Jupiter i have....I'm under those more then rosy conditions at 21 coins @$12,600 USD....minus $7131.80 that is $5,468.20 ahead and I'll have been mining 1 month tomorrow 11/18 as of 8:30pm CST USA.....as for electric it is a bit less then 100 bucks I think around 80 bucks but call it 100 cause I've been home a lot babysitting miner and giggling so more use on other computers and such this month
of course it will all go boom and I will probably be looking at 1/2 ROI on Monday after the U.S. House hearings ...or some such bad news...but hey that works too for 1 month of mining I have a Jupiter hashing 555gh consistent ..just put the new firmware on now 0.99 its hashing at around 564gh consistent....
heh been a good nite for me at least in the delusions of my own mind (yeah we are all insane it is only real variable that is constant in all this)

p.s. er as I ordered the Jupiter on July 1st I think BTC was 60 bucks or some such yeah better of getting BTC direct I would have been but no body imho noob wise jumps in with 7k or more in speculation...we always start with equipment...now in the future with how asic mnfg stuff trickles out etc etc I may change my tune but this is what I seem to hear how most start in bitcoin with miners (or did back in the early early days of summer 2013....)
And 25 days ago the price was $150.
$7,131.80/$150 = 47.54533333
BTC47.54533333 * $600 = $28,527.20
You would have made more with buy and hold.
True but as I stated in previous posts with BTC at what $60 bucks last summer and being a noob I was unlikely to dump 7,131.80 out of the gate in pure speculation....at least this last summer everyone I knew doing bitcoin STARTED as a NOOB by mining...at least then...so yeah I agree with your point and may do more or all speculation in the future..but most people will ease in it slowly (or did) and will buy a piece of equipment that pays for itself first rather then plunk money down on a market speculation out the gate (I should coulda woulda done better doing the same with gold a couple years ago to...also goes for the same in speculation on silver.....or flipping houses...etc ...but a piece of equip that at the time in say 7 months would pay for itself and make some coin after ..maybe enough to pay my home utils for 6 months ....zowie.....(remember we we're more modest in our hobby expectations back then ..or at least how I remember (remember Avalon? ...there are guys there who did quite well mining last summer WHEN they got their equipment around that time I got my July order in for a Jupiter..which was risky enough with KNC being newer then wet paint as a company.
anyway again I agree woulda/shoulda but as a NOOB and imho it is very likely that trend will continue they will mine first and figure out this bitcoin stuff and then maybe buy/sell/hold more instead or in addition to mining..which is probably the area of the landscape of bitcoin you are at now....I'm probably heading that way too....
(ah yes if I'd only had the 'big brass ones' to buy at 60 USD..that BTC..tough sell last summer with everyone yelling how evil bitcoin was or so my feeble mind remembers)
as usual I'm clueless just saying
