I don't own any personally. I had thought about it, but the initial cost has always been something that got in the way. Rent and food have always been higher on my list of things to buy.
This is a well-written article though and it's got me thinking about it again. That being said, miners are on my brain too and there's only so much cheddar to spread around. :D
Happy Stacking!
Thanks. We need some more cheddar obviously :)
I do like mining shares though because they can be nice and liquid even though the risk can be a bit higher.
Yeah, although the mining I was thinking about is of the ASIC variety. The risk there right now is in pre-sale. They don't have any out yet and I'm scared of rats taking my cheese. Ha ha, too many levels on this conversation right now
LOL. I totally missed your point there. Personally not that keen on ASICs. The technology moves too fast and I think Proof-Of-Work Cryptos might have had their best days.
Here's one of my old posts about ASIC Resistance which you might be interested in.
PS - I think we are well off-topic now :)
Yeah, we are a bit off topic, but rather than move it to the other one, I'll just say that you wrote a good article there. Please don't flag me. ;)
You have a lot of good points and I agree that the reason Ethereum got passed up was because they're planning to switch to POS. I know that ASICs eventually become obsolete, but if you can get your money back and are able to profit for a while, then I think that's a win.
