so have to buy all the over priced GPU is the way to become a miner no need to hide mate. im just trying to warn ppl about the risk about mining, not stopping them from mining. if you started 2013, you should know what happen after mining LTC died... mine other coins ? i guess 2 years nth much interesting until ETH arrived. another example is mining ETH, very profitable until DAO hack and fork... one whole year with min profit (AKA enuff to pay bill). so if ETH POS here and now, there might be another 2~3 years or god knows how long for another profitable coins may come. One should be honest and responsible about their speech. mining is profitable now, but at the same time need to be aware of the risk that may come with it. talking newbies about how profitable or easy to make money without telling them the risk is being irresponsible but yet nothing wrong with it. but sadly, im not that kind of guy. For newb, always invest what u can afford to lose not selling your house just because some idiot told you that you can ROI within 3 or 4 months or mine to keeep bla bla bla. ETH price can rise from 20 USD to 400 USD within 2 months but at the same time it can drop from 400 usd to 200usd within a week or less.

they have tons of issues with customer service now.... in the mist of refunding customer or option to switch to RX560/460 chips. global shortage of GPU chipsets...

so it was really you hahaha! welcome, please help other the miner wannabe instead of trying to take advantages of them! short term mid term or watever term you wanna name it, i care less when one are aware what they are jumping into. dont talk like its 100% gain without any risk, if you are holding it for long term. i guess you should be worth over 10mil usd now!!! 100usd worth of BTC back in 2010 era is like 4 5 mil USD now? anyway, keep on the good work for helping miner wannabe mate.

nah its okay, i have a few rigs as a small time miner and quite a numbers on order list long ago. mining is not my day job, i just enjoy playing with it with my extra cash and place. so why the smurf account? i tot you were more successful with all your long term btc strategy, but i guess i was wrong... simple as that.

its not about worring, its informing that casper will be here sooner or later. being responsible is the key word.

nah my apology for taking you as other ppl then cheers.

i think there is another thread for trading crypto. antshare is promising, but need hardware wallet for the long run.

its all up to you, there is no safe heaven in this world. i will give you want others would tell you :-

1. mine other coins. these coins are making less than mining eth now. so imagine all the extra gpus from eth mining these coins after POS.
2. sell off your cards. yeah, the market gonna flood with mining gpus and gamers normally preferred non-mining gpus or offer you a low ball price (at least that what i will do).
3. alot of people doing it now. this i have no comment, its like a bubble. you enter at a correct time, you gain. BTC gpu mining was profitable until asec miners flood the market. LTC same thing. ETH until DAO hack and recovered for now, maybe specialized GPU might kill those normal gaming gpu mining or POS gonna kill mining.

about POS, we have been hearing it since long time ago. no people can confirm when, it could be tmr or 10 years later. You have all the info now and you can decide it yourself. its business and investment, no 100% guarantee profit.

luck is the key word. sometimes u dont sometimes u do have to pay haha. i buy stuffs from overseas on and off all the time.

and full payment have to made if im not mistaken. thumbs up for the summary, these are the people that give proper advise on buying equipment to mine. not those, buy buy buy, market no stock, buy buy then later you found out that they are the one releasing the old used GPU selling you at a inflated price.

well if the trend cont, you will see tons of cheap amd cards later on. mining eth profit drops more 50% now. meaning from 4months ROI to maybe 8~10months ROI now.

the hype is dying off. for fun, you might get rx460 or 560. these cards are not good at all but its fun to play with. try to go pre order some 1060/1070 or rx470/570/480/580, wait for 2 months + and if you are lucky, you still can make a few buck... but no guarantee you can ROI

drop another 50% income will back to the bad old days. with current price, it is still double the money compared to the lowest i have seen in eth mining. i tried to warn peeps on the risk, the boom is just too crazy... lots of mining supporter bash me for being noob or stupid or typical new comer for mining aka mine today sell today bla bla bla.... anyway, investment has risk and this is the risk im trying hard to warn new comers. never tot you went with all 6 gpus in the end haha. well who knows it willl happen after aug? maybe surge in price and make big money again or mining become less profitable or even less than electricity bill hence have to shut down mining rigs?

sad for your friend.but its willing seller and buyer, i just felt like warning ppl its not 100% making profit business:) its a roller coaster ride for me as well. actually i didnt expect this profit can last for so long, like 3 months + -.

same.. i run it for fun too...love to buy hardware haha... so far i love evga stuffs haha...

mining hype gone? why ppl still selling 2nd hand GPU so expensive zzzz...

it will take you more than 12 months to get back the money you buy hardware AKA ROI, 1 card mining might even longer. you sure you wanna do it? if yes, i guess there are already a mining thread here... for example, invest RM10k now to gain RM200~400 a month.

GPU mining is dead, ROI 24 months ++. unless you buy and build now, and hold the coins you mined hoping it will rise in future. look at the hype from cloud mining, died off... mining thread, died off....

all thinking how to steal electric haha.... worth it ?

lol.... worth risking RM20k rigs in office just to save like RM500 a month ? left alone risking your day job hahaha....
