Hello,

There is this company called OVH Hosting. www.ovh.com They are very reliable and trustworthy. I am interested in mining bitcoin. Would it be possible to mine off of one of their plans? Which one would be the most efficient?

What province are you from? Normally the energy cost is 0.04c/kwh but there is a distrubtion cost and service costs which add up to 0.10c/kwh. Most provinces are like this except maybe Quebec or NWT.
Québec. It would be residential rates. $0.0571/kWh

The S5 is most likely useless unless you just want to buy it to learn (cheaply). The S7 will be small profits but an s9 or Avalon7 are the way to go right now. Of course that means more money upfront. At that rate it'll be ok most of the time to mine but that would depend on where the difficulty goes over the next months/years.

Check any calculator out. Here's one http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/bitcoin-mining-calculator
Thanks! We don't have a crazy budget.... thats the issue. With the S7 on the calculator we would be making $2.36 CAD a day in profit - Do I even bother? (Note: I am new to Bitcoins and to me, hey- thats not too bad)

This forums seriously needs a revamp. I really recommend XenForo. There are tons of features and it looks really nice. Tons of sites use it. Its just what this site needs! For a sites that makes BTC10 or BTC50 on a donation.... this will be quite cheap. https://xenforo.com - (default themed preview) ttps://xenforo.com/community/

Hello,

My friend and I are thinking of mining Bitcoins. I am looking for advice, tips, or anything else that I can use. I have been looking on my local sales site and I found a AntMiner S5 (with PSU and cables) for $150 CAD (Prices are in Canadian Dollars, because.. well.. I live in Canada.) Our energy costs are $0.0571/kWh ($0.04 USD) - Which is quite cheap. Anyway. Can the S5 even make us any kind of profit? I also found a AntMiner S7 for $350 CAD - It doesn't say if there is a PSU and/or cables included. I have sent an email - ill keep you updated.

For now, is it even worth trying to mine?

Hello,

I have been looking at the price of the Bitcoin and it is obvious that the price keeps on rising. I was wondering what the price of the Bitcoin would be in 2017. If anyone can come up with a estimate..... Or vote in the poll. This is just a topic for debate.
