Can Money be made with Mining Bitcoins? An article on Technology Personalized

There are a number of factors that must be considered Before you get into the world of Mining Bitcoins:
  1. The Initial investment in Mining Hardware: This also entails the risk taken by buying not-yet-released hardware like (ASIC Minors) to be more specific.
  2. The cost of running your mining gear, as it will run non-stop. Electricity bill is the biggest money drain here.
  3. If you run you Miner in a Pool: some pools also take a fee from the members, and while the fee isn’t much, you still have to take it into account. This handy bitcoin profit calculator might also help you determine if you will make any money.
  4. Keep in mind that the price of a Bitcoin will fluctuate. It can go wildly from $140 to less than $90, so it will be somewhat of a risk comparable to stock exchange markets. 
  5. Maintenance cost of a mining setup,
  6. Difficulty. The more time passes by, the more difficult it is to make money from your existing mining set-up.

If you have a US based bank account, then Coinbase is a must have. I highly recommend it!

Ed and Ethan's Bitcoin cast #16



For more on the podcast, and more podcasts visit:
http://www.EdandEthan.com

Show Notes:
- There's talk of the fall of Mt. GOX but should it be talk about the fall of centralized exchanges instead?
http://bitcoinmagazine.com/has-the-fa...

- A paper from University of Chicago prof' Nichloas Plassaras opines on bitcoin. We think he needs to read the bitcoin wikipedia article.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?top...

- Ethan's pet peeve about bitcoin discussions is that they're so American centric but could that possibly be a benefit?

- Also, China is running with bitcoin in a big way. A great website shows the number of nodes running in China and it's a lot. Check out the link.

- Argentina is having problems with inflation and reliable economic data from government is just wishful thinking. Bitcoin users? Not affected.

- We ran out of time before we could really get into bitmessage inspired by the bitcon protocol but it's well worth a look.
