I fired up a miner again recently just for fun. Took 5 days to dig out $15. That's comparable to the $3/day the same GPU could mine back when the exchange rate was $5/coin. But yes, the ASICs are coming. There are only a few in the wild right now. Pretty soon there won't be much point to GPU mining.

- sliverstorm 14y agoThe difficulty is not going to be your problem; the problem is the initial mask costs. PCBs can be made for hobby projects. ASICs cannot, unless you have money literally coming out of your ears. http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/7042/how-much-does-it-cost-to-have-a-custom-asic-made http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/7042/how-much...
