...
the thing is, the current pricing is dropping as i predicted a long time ago for asics in general which can only be good for miners. these prices are extraordinary and i myself may have to order more. this is going to keep the network decentralized and solo mining still affordable. once the BTC price starts ascending again, which it will, those asic manufacturers with the most efficient chips are going to cause a shakeout in this industry.

ORLY? You predicted the price of ASICs would drop? The rest of us were thinking that ASIC prices would skyrocket as the difficulty increased exponentially. But you actually seen this coming, huh...

as a matter of fact i did.

many of my subscribers here can attest to that prediction which i've continually stressed ever since the beginning of this race last year. i'm not surprised you missed it.

point being, this makes it possible for small players to stay in the game, if not for fat profits, at least to support the network.

Did anyone, and i mean anyone, actually think the ASIC prices would *increase over time* Huh

Who?

And try not to twist your own words, spindoc. You didn't say hobby mine -- you said "SOLO mine." Angry

Edit: Bold red text, see?

at $6/GH and more likely $4.8/GH i'd say that's pretty affordable. at least better than anyone else.

As much as i like to give you credit, you sound so clueless that i cant see you as any reliable source.

So.... your visit to HF means moot to me.

PS. Solo mining means you mines without a pool. Nothing to do with the cost of hardware.

actually, if you avail yourself of the sale plus MPP, the cost drops to $2/GH.

how does that not make it more affordable to mine be it via pool or solo? solo mining simply results in more variance which i don't mind one bit. it fact, it's more efficient in my hands as i avoid all the pool related problems.

Yes, solo mining is still possible for small miners.
If they're willing to do it without ever finding a block. And i mean *ever*.
They'll never get any coin, but they'll never have to deal with "pool related problems."

You are a disgrace to shilling.

Edit: Sorry for mucking up your thread, HashFast, be choosier about hiring shills next time.

it's too bad you're such an idiot. clearly you don't mine yourself.

i've hit 2 solo mining blocks since Sept 10 using my 3 avalons. i've paid them off fully and am now making a steady profit from them despite the run up in the HR.

you're such a troll.
