*** that thing about gpus being more profitable ***
When I first read that a while back I thought it was insane. But my alt coin rig (4 rx 580s, 8gb)
is pulling in .00064576 btc a day on nh. That's the equivalent of adding 8 T/Hs capacity to my ASICs. Now I see what you mean. I paid 269 for 2 and 313 for the other 2, so about 1200, and I just frankensteined them onto my existing gaming pc. Compared to a 6.5 or 9 T ASIC that's far cheaper and more profitable.
I don't think what you said is so crazy anymore.
GPU mining isnt THAT profitable, i built a rig 10 days ago 152 th/s 6 rx580 etc etc 3100$ 200 shipping to my country 3300 im making 360$/month with a coupon i could get an s9 here for a lot less than that and making 400$ a month
And all that is me buying the video cards by myself wich i know most ppl wont know how to do because they sell out in seconds
