Re: Compare profitability: Scrypt Scrypt-N X11 multipools and hashrate rentals
By rolling over your ASICs do you mean that you've taken your profits and re-invested them in newer, cheaper and more powerful units? It's amazing how quickly expensive miners drop in price.
I'm selling soon-to-be-outdated ASICs and buying the second batch of the next best thing (first batch is typically overpriced). There is usually a moment in time where the old tech still has demand on eBay/craigslist/etc and can raise enough cash to buy more hashrate with the new tech. The only mistake I made so far was to trust Zeus. I'll stick to buying only in-stock and independently tested hardware from now on.
However even with the increasing hashrate my revenue has been declining so ROI is still unlikely albeit more probable than if i just held on to my first purchase of Gridseeds from February. No easy money, what a surprise
GPUs on the other hand just refuse to die, X11/X13 is almost as good as Scrypt was a few months ago, considering the lower power/cooling requirements. Might outlive a few more generations of ASICs.
I think that I missed my window. After poking around on Ebay it looks like I could sell my GridSeed cupcakes and basically trade up to a blade, but the result would only be a 2 MH/s difference.
Probably not worth it. I might be able get the same increase by optimizing what I've got (volt modding and keeping an eye on pool profitability).
To that end, I noticed coinking.io on PoolPicker. Its published profitability has beat all of the other multis for the last few days. I know someone mentioned coinking on this thread about a week ago. Does anyone have experience with them?
