How can a miner get mining in 2018? Prices are just to high
It would take 10 months just to make your money back. And then you start to see profit
My 1 1070 can only pull in maybe $5 a day it would take me 7-8 months before I paid it back and made money...
Smart investment? How are people paying these prices?
buy an evga 3 year warranty.
so that is 36 months
spend 1000 on a 1080 ti hybrid
set up 6 on the 8 slot mobos
cards cost 6k
mobo 200
bigass atx 400
stick of ram 50
cpu 100
total cost 6700 every part but the mobo has 3 or more year warranty.
you will do 4200 sols use 1200 watts
30kwatts a day
900kwatts a month at 20 cents power is 180 usd.
4200 sols of zcash = 34 a day
which is 1020 -180 = 840 a month x 12 = 10080
no business generates that set of numbers with almost no work
and I used 20 cent power cost.
so 10080 - 6700 = 3380 profit in a year and you own a machine with 2 years on warranty.
this means 1000 a card for an evga hybrid 1080ti is a bargain
