There is not a set formula for mining profitability. I thought your analysis was interesting HR. However, it didn't match my real world data using scrypt ASIC. Mining can't be analyzed as an independent activity from trading or from a larger systemic approach to investing, supporting, and engaging with DGB. I spent a significant amount of money on my current ASIC rig. Around the time it was delivered, the support forums for the company were filled with people saying that it could never be profitable. Here I am, 2 calendar years later, and I'm still theoretically in profits mining DGB. I say theoretically because I don't sell to pay for operating costs.
Your work with support and analysis is fantastic. It is a huge benefit to have you working on behalf of DGB.
To directly address the points in your previous post ... GPU (and CPU) can be profitable. Clearly it's not the best choice if you try to compete directly with ASIC. But, it can squeak out a a profit with the non-ASIC algorithms when it is done with care and thought in the process of mining DGB. ASIC mining is not necessarily bad. Neither is GPU or CPU necessarily good. ASICs are a part of our world.
At DGB we have a great diversity of mining and support within our community. The diversity adds value to DGB.
We all get frustrated sometimes. It happened to me from December through January. I just felt like no matter what I wrote here or tried I was pissing into the wind. I was disheartened, but it wasn't about DGB.
We are here as a DigiByte community to support and encourage and grow. Everyone here contributes and adds value to our community. We disagree. We agree. We argue. We build. We develop. We support. We are all committed to the success of DGB. I think it's great that we have seen some new members of the community expressing interest in mining and supporting DGB. To all the new members of our community ... we are here to help you. DigiByte has a bright future. I believe we will have plenty of challenges on the way, but we'll get there.
