I personally expect BTC to be 100K or more by August which would make this profitable. (Just my opinion.)
Well, I think your expectation might have been a little off. The problem isn't the Elon Musk tweet, it's really that people don't understand the situation in China. The Chinese clamp down on crypto currencies has nothing to do with the volatility, but everything to do with control. Crypto currencies remove the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from the equation of transactions, reducing their ability to control the population. The CCP wants the ability to monitor all transactions by its people so that it can manipulate and control them easier. IMHO, we, as the crypto community, need to ensure this is understood by the rest of the world, so that arbitrary rules by the CCP don't affect the value of the currencies.
I apologize if this has been answered, but after reading through four pages about the "ownership" of cgminer and the profitability of a single Apollo, I couldn't read through the rest of the posts: Will cgminer run the Apollo? I already have a pretty robust Raspi/ ASIC setup which I'm just trying to add to, not trying to integrate an entirely new setup to my rig.
Thanks,
