what is the ROI period?

Use http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/ to calculate it as it assumes a profit decline into the equation.  Roll Eyes

I got 63 days based on 6BTC @ $170ea 0.15c/kWh power but prices move every day who knows tomorrow or how long it takes to deliver?

I checked too, that's good!

Would you recommend?

That calculator assumes decrease of profitability over A YEAR and the default is set to 60%. Difficulty has been increasing 40% every 10 days or so.



...so it's not accurate?
If we assume ~35 10day periods in a year and compound 40% increases each period that gives roughly a 13,000,000% increase over that year.  Does 13M% increase in difficulty sound like more than 60% drop in profitability?

Of course we very likely won't see 40% increases each period over the next 12 months, however the take away should be that yes profitability will almost certainly drop far more than 60% in a year.

Please correct me if my 13m figure is off, it's been awhile since I've done much math.
