Doesn't it make more sense to buy an RX 470, mine 0.003 BTC per day with it. Pretty much equavalient to a 3TH/s miner but its efficency is 0.05W/GHS.
Keep that BTC like you normally would for "long term" while getting ROI in 3x as fast and having something that in 1 year will be resellable.
I agree
How do you put it with out others getting mad at you or taking offense. other then say it's like the GOV it's a bunch of old guys setting around making rules about the new world that no long work and they hate to admit it because there set there ways. or a game comes to mine wow refused to put some thing in there game because they believed it would make running bot software easier or hurt the game but after a year, after all the other games had done they put that feature in and saw how it improved the game. it'd called progress and some times it is confused with hurt and what hurt it can do.
I Don't mean that to offend any one.
The real problem is when someone think everything is black or white.
From that point, there is no need to argue. It's pointless.

Altcoin / GPU mining has been doing great that's a fact. Do I believe they will ever overpass Bitcoin in the future ? There is no way it'll happen. Bitcoin is starting to have an influence, to be know by everyone around the world. If I talk about Bitcoin to someone, a light might open but if I talk about altcoin, yeah they just don't understand it, do not want to know about it, they get confuse, etc.
So the reality is Bitcoin has a solid foundation, way more then any other altcoin.
So I agree GPU mining mining has been great by I also agree about sidehack argument. Altcoin is pretty much gamble. Bitcoin, is pretty much the gold of any currency around the world.
