[quote:dukusprime:MV8zMzY2OTAyXzYwMDExMjA2X0VBQzJBQUQ5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 73425286:MV8zMzY2OTAyXzYwMDExMTMxXzVEQ0REMkUw] Check out nicehash.com Its very convenient, you don't have to deal with all kind of coins and storing, exchanging them, they just pay out Bitcoin. A rig with 4 GPUs could make about $200 gross a month. It would take ~ 850W and would cost ~ $ 1.400 You would be just mining, Nicehash is taking care of the rest. A GPU rig is made from off-the-shelf computer parts. For a newbie I wouldn't recommend buying specialty ASIC hardware from sinister sources. Its mostly crap what is delivered and if it burns out there won't be any warranty. [/quote] People still mine with GPUs? I thought they were not fast enough anymore. I could have misunderstood I guess. [/quote]
Original Message
Whether it be a large scale operation or just a home based hobby? I'm curious about it, and would like opinions. I have heard that depending on the electricity rate in a given area and equipment used it may not even be profitable and in some cases would be better to just purchase bitcoin.
The way I'm thinking though, even if it is not profitable right now the price of bitcoin could skyrocket 2 or 3 years from now. Any recommendations on mining hardware?
