RE: Sapphire and ASUS to sell GPU cards made specially for cryptocurrency mining!

in #bitcoin8 years ago

I have not mined in a few years but would consider getting back into it as a hobby. Would be a great project to do with the kids. Where I live electricity is expensive so it's not highly profitable but it's certainly educational and fun!

Sort:  

I have been trading cryptos for some time now but I am thinking about setting up a rig... Does anyone on Steemit have any recommendations? I am making a shopping list of items on my wish list. Does anyone have a list of top of the line items that should be on list? Just trying to get into it as a hobby. Thanks mates.

It comes for a price similar to a GTX-1060 while the performance is almost the same. In that case is better to buy a GTX 1060 because you can also use it for gaming, or you can sell it:

Totally agree.
People forgot that those mining cards will be difficult to be sold.
Real 1060s are better for me.

That's true but, I have seen some old Bitcoin ASIC miners being sold for quite a bit on Amazon. Given many of them could not even make back in electricity what it costs to run them. Seems people are willing to pay for miners without doing the math first. Still like you said an Old legit GPU would probably be easier to sale.

I don't think math matters these days. People are buying for coin appreciation.

Make sure you pick a crypto that isn't about to get a difficulty bomb.

have you tried checking on a few profitability calculator sites ?

Could be worth taking a look!

The blue pills are 1 dollar the red pills are crypto's :

Time to buy some Asus shares then. NVIDIA and AMD shares when boom because of crypto mining cards.

you nailed it. At this point they are the only ones gonna get rich.

Yeah What do i need to set up a GPU rig i need that
