fpga accelerated gpu mining seems like it may be a way out for those of us running gpus, especially older paid off gear that barely breaks even after power at the moment. only time (and shipping gear in the hands of regular miners) will tell of course. i figure its a decent bet. 50/50 maybe. well, in crypto 50/50 is pretty good odds anyway.
Best bet is to convert those GPUs into BTC and Hodl.
youre probably right. but i like tinkering with new hardware, so i will need my gpus for this fpga/gpu hybrid mining thing experiment. and im only a hobbyist miner.. right now just one rig, 8 cards. hardly worth selling off.
I hear ya, I used to buy shit just to tinker with it endlessly.
I think what he is saying is you can either continue to mine for a very slight profit indefinitely, or sell everything and buy & hodl bitcoin.
Its always a gamble but look at it this way. If you sold everything and bought ETH right now, what are the chances of ETH being at $400 in 6 months? No one can predict, but I personally think the chance would be good. So then the question becomes, do you think you can mine twice the value of all of your equipment in 6 months?
It would make for an interesting comparison (and bet).
