...that only makes $2.64 per day in net profits.

The main issue is that I pay 0.16 USD/kWh. I didn't think this through enough. What the hell do I do? I guess my only hope is to wait for prices to rise so I can mine more profitably vs. re-sell my GPUs with exorbitant price-gouging.

ETH and ETH Classic. I am using AMD Radeon VII x8, so I can't mine Grin, unfortunately.

>>15854172
So, if I am thinking of this correctly, this is still more profitable than just buying the coin outright, even if only by a tiny bit, correct? Whatever my net profit is after electricity is the "discount" I take off the spot price of the coin, right? The discount is even greater if you take into account the exchange fees you would have to pay if you bought it instead of mining it. So, the miner still comes out on top in the end, r-right?

I am mining ETH Classic, which does have a halvening of its own. But with halvening comes price increase. It's not as simple as concluding that an doubling of difficulty means a drop in profitability. If the coin more than doubles in price, you earn more as the miner. Case in point 2017. Miners made progressively more and more until the top, despite the ramp up in difficulty.

Wait for a third batch and jump on it. You have to sign up for the store, no idea when the third batch is coming but it will most likely be in a few months. Part of the profitability is from being limited numbers so only buy if the next lot are cheaper. I'm nearly reaching ROI in like 6 months.
GPU mining only works if you have basically free electricity and cheap access to hardware. The serious miners are bordering on fire hazard how they set the systems up from being that tight on supplies. Hate to say it but it probably is easier to sell the cards and buy a thin spread of coins to hold then keep accumulating. I had a small farm and it gave me a headache when random cards kept going off line during the day or fans kept dying (thanks Asus) or when a decent antec PSU blew up and killed a 1070.

Third batch of what exactly? GPUs? Sorry for my ignorance. I am new to all this and need retard-level explanations. I bought all of my GPUs used off eBay. I bought each one for an average price of ~$550. The VII retailed for ~$700, so I thought I did well in that sense. I am questioning if I should have gone with NVIDIA instead. I could have been making more money per day with a cheaper rig if I had been mining Grin using 2060s. I just didn't want the headache of having to resell twice as many cards.

LINK can only 20X from here, as a best case scenario, which is still extremely unlikely. Realistically, it may go to $10. Not bad, but there are coins out there that will 100X, and LINK isn't one of them. If you bought at $0.15, congratulations. Anyone buying LINK at these prices when they could be buyng low cap gems is a dummy. That's all. LINK is a safe play, but it's not the most profitable by any means. The $1000 LINK meme is complete bullshit and in fact an impossibility based on the stock-to-flow projections.

Sure, if I mined the right shitcoin at the right time. That's the real value of mining. The ability to speculatively mine a new coin at extremely low difficulty and then sell after it booms. Imagine mining ETH when it first came out. Also, building and maintaining a small crypto mining rig is an intellectually stimulating hobby, which cannot be said of buying LINK.

LINK would have to surpass the current market cap of Bitcoin for that to happen. That's my fucking proof. Only an absolute retard would believe LINK could go to $1000.

There are mineable projects being announced right now on bitcointalk that will make me far more than you will ever make with LINK. When the next Ethereum drops, those who are able to start mining it immediately will make unimaginable wealth. That is the value of mining. Without a rig in place, you run the risk of missing a huge opportunity any day now, especially as we advance deeper and deeper into the current bull cycle. I own plenty of bitcoins. I don't need your iExec wannabe coin to profit. Mining is a patrician pursuit for those who want to speculate on the latest mineable projects.
