So I'm really planning to go Gridseed, but want a to be certain to make the good move
on alot of other forums/chats they dont seem so hot about the Gridseed's saying that they are too expensive
and that a GPU will be better because it can be sold again etc etc etc..
But what I like the most is the low watt usage as kw/h here in spain is so high! I cannot see myself using a 1000w rig
I do have to reckon that our gridseeds will be more difficult to sell especially when difficulty rises, and if maybe a new gridseed comes out.
what is you guys realistic opinion?
Right now, it is marginally profitable with GPU, but totally profitable with Gridseed. Prices on GPU's are coming down because of the lack of profitability.
Yes, GPU's will retain some of their value, but when everyone is selling ...
If you have more than $2,000 to invest, then Gridseed is definitely the way to go. There are serious power and cooling issues when you try to scale up with GPU rigs.
My first miner was a GPU rig, since I already had most of the equipment, and only needed to add a gpu. I figured it was a cheap way to get a high end graphics card. I could not find a path to putting together more GPU rigs. Due to power and cooling constraints, Gridseed is the only way I can add more hashing power.
Thanks, yes I also have the problem with power being very expensive where I am, so looking at how much a gridseed uses is a big +
