Ive heard mixed things about scrypt asics, some people are saying the asics are not worth it to buy a asic because they are not much better than gpu setups, does anyone have any imput on this?
Avg profit from multipools has dropped from a 30 day high of .0013BTC/MH/day to .00063BTC/MH/day, and it's still dropping. Hash rates and difficulties are going up, coin value is not. They are more or less cost equivalent with GPUs in terms of $/KH, but energy usage is obviously much lower. Space is the issue, as these alpha grade products are not the refined devices BTC miners are used to getting. Best to wait for the market and GS prices to stabilize before doing ROI calcs. Anyone jumping in today is just riding on faith that they will make their investment back.
thanks for this detailed post.
for me, space is not a issue, I would be willing to give a 10x10 bedroom to the project, if a rig so large can be build with 10 btc.
cooling is not a problem, I have 2 large duct fans that each move 720 cubic feet of air per minute, and one smaller fan that moves 300 cubic feet per minute, that would be able to easily exchange the rooms air. I have 220 wired up to the outlets of this room so big appliances can be easily ran. I had hoped to get a neptune in there but I was not able to get funds lined up in time...
