Re: My own Experience / Profit / ROI with ASIC Antminer E3's from the past 25 months
for more than 15 months profits were negative for gpus, probably even for this asic miner. Asic mining or gpu mining is a waste of time, to get back what you invested depends on many things, now that we are in the bullrun, everybody saying good things about mining, nobody said anything good about mining on those 15 months of negative profit, trolls, simps and idiots buying gpus now, paying double the msrp will never get back what they paid for. I wonder about the people who paid $800 or plus for a rx 570 if they got their money back.
No one ! have a negative profit , if they hold they coins , and selling them now
... My gpu farm never had a negative profit either .... still running my rx 480 / 580 rigs in the past 4 years ... my first builds are still up and running , some rx480 died , so lost maybe 15% of my gpu's in 4 years , mostly Nitros rx 480 ...
Gigabyte , MSI , XFX RX 480 cards barely went out from business ... but rx 480 nitros ... thats a different story
Actually...
... none of my Gigabyte RX480 died in the past 4 years , all still up and running
... None of my RX 580 Special , blue edition cards died in the past years almost 4 years
... 2% of my MSI Gaming RX 480 died in the past 4 years
... 3% of my XFX RX 480 cards died in the past 4 years
All of my cards are 8GB cards ...
