Our electric bill is more expensive than USA...

I am thinking, what if ETH price falls to $250 for half year?

Walauweh if tnb charge like that I sure will install solar panel

Hmm, didn't realized this cloud issue in Malaysia. Good info, thanks.

It might start to trigger other cloud bitcoin mining company to stop the contract?

With ETH can't even touch 500 which btc has go over 8300.
I wonder when this thread will become active again.

Strange, no leaked news on new gtx11xx mining performance yet?

Currently Bitmain S9 not profitable already.

I saw advertisement on facebook. Host your S9 for RM350 a month.
Calculate the electrical rate already know something not right.

I dont have any ASIC.
I just wonder the feeling of a guy that bought S9 at 13K on Jan 2018.

If you already have the hardware, then continue mining.
If you plan to buy new, not recomended as roi might take more than a year or worse, never.

Look at whattomine, the return of ETH and ETC almost the same.
If you always sell the coin you mine, doesn't make too much difference.

For long term hold, no idea.

Or you can try the traditional style, mine a specific coin, move to a big exchange and convert it to USDT or TUSD.

Don't do it if your intention is to make money.
Currently electric bill almost equal to the coins you mine. Probably will never get the hardware costs back.

yes, coin price is really bad now.
You can still mine the coin and hope for price to increase.
But... in this situation, might as well direct buy the coin using your electric money.
No need to worry about heat, noise and possible hardware failure of the mining machines.

If you're hardware geek that like to explore then different story lar, prepare to lose the money you paid for the hardware tho.

For those that get into mining at the beginning of the year, its doomsday.
For those who already in the mining scene since 2016, life as usual coz they rig already earn fully paid back.

Depends on you want to wait for the next boom 3-5 years later or not lor...

mining via online game? botting allowed?
Is botting considered as cheating?

Btw I heard of trade mining too but its more like the exchange's trick to increase their volume.

For now I tend to have more faith in the traditional mining method of POW and POS or even a mix of POW+POS.

A quick search on google pop this up...
Hmm... With crypto civil war brewing now. I think I'll just look see look see for now.

Mining costs is USD7k?
I saw a chart saying the electric costs in china to mine 1 btc is around usd3.2k.
Not sure how much hash rate difficulty has added to the costs tho.

Now mining is a battle to see who has more power to keep mining until the hash rate drop.
I think China gonna win the mining battle, their access to ASIC and cheap power can't be matched by other countries.
