Just a reminder, ROI is Return On Investment. It does not mean Profit or Break Even. Your Return On Investment can be less than your original investment.

I don't get it. If you're not planning to profit from mining what's the draw? Difficulty would have to do an about face to make your mining equipment even hold value and the makers are pumping out more each day undermining it's value. If you're looking strictly for BTC to go up to get ahead, stop buying mining equipment and start buying BTC.

Asics is disruptive technology. Scrypt-N based coins such as vert coin are asic resistant so makers can't increase the difficulty so quickly.

wow! is this really your first post since you registered here in the middle of 2011?

Yup... been lurking for awhile ... at the time I signed up... couldn't save enough money to get a miner. It took a bit of research to get a miner based on my budget. Now that I got one, I feel I can run with the wolves now. Personally I like this pool. All the other pools are so clean, cold and impersonal. This particular pool has character.

Good for you! Welcome to the club.
