Someone explain to me the point of buying a 1.6gh miner @ +-$50
How you gonna make your money back ?
Lets also not forget the difficulty is gonna go up in 5 days time from 1.8m to 2.4m
Even @ 1.8m a 1.6gh miner will only make about $2.30 a week
So lets just say $10 a month.
Than means you will need to mine for 5 months at 1.8m difficulty just to break even.
Sounds like this is a lose ?
Am i wrong ?
I hope i am.
I won't buy anything from anyone yet till i know i can trust them.
even if i get a 200gb miner it will be obsolete in 6months time due to mine difficulty

Because we can.

I agree with you, seems people say pretty much the same thing every month. People focus too much on the money and not the hobby side of it. In all seriousness, unless btc goes to 5k there really isn't any money to made regardless what you do.. I like when they say just buy btc, but that sort of ruins the whole experience.. If btc stays at 1k, there isn't no money to be made buying them either. oh god, doom and gloom.

Also, if he's worried about the hash rate.. get a 4k resistor and a 10k resistor and OC that chip! Giggle at everyone hashing at 1.8g when sitting at 4g each
