Re: Why do you mine Bitcoins?

Re: Why do you mine Bitcoins?

I don’t anymore but I got started when GPU-mining was still (very)profitable, at the time I made it mostly because it was profitable but also I really enjoyed tweaking the GPU clocks and miner settings to get the optimal hash/stability ratio.

I then moved to LTC/Doge and made a good profit there as well, but stopped when ASICs took over BTC and LTC/Doge wasn’t profitable anymore.

I’ve been out of the game for long, but if feels like you can’t really mine with a profit without an ASICs still?

Sorry, I was one of the first if not the first to design a mining core for an fpga in 2011. I posted about it here if you check my history. I was going to release it as open source but, someone found my weakness: money. I sold the core, but ended up partnering with the people who bought it. I received a few death threats during that period. It was interesting times.

With asics the profit will go to who has the best price to performance ratio. You need a certain mass of hardware before you’ll make the money spent on it back. You also have to do it before the next generation hardware cuts you profits.

(Why?)
