Can I still make at least $100+ a month with this at the current bitcoin difficulty today when running 24/7?

With the current low price of bitcoin, $100 a month will be near impossible with this miner. Would be close.

With just one unit, you can still make about 0.01 BTC every 2 days, so I'm not sure, but ever since I've started running 2, I've been reaching 0.01 BTC In less than 24 hours, although I haven't calculated in power costs.

I have three of these things and they currently make me about $1 per day. Subtract the electricity cost and I might make a penny or two per day. Despite not really making money with them anymore I will use them over the next couple of months since they will make great heaters for this winter.

What Gordy said. No chance of making $100 a month at the recent Bitcoin price of $475. ALSO, here in Ohio, I pay $65 per month for each S1 I have. (Confirmed with a calibrated watt/hr meter, supplied by the local power company) . Do the math.

I dont know, but NCR is implementing new stuff all of the time. I would call them and ask. 888-487-4675 They have 24/7 support. My coffee shop can accept bitcoin through this system, so it wouldn't surprise me. Its a great system.

If you run it 24/7 for high end processes, such as mining bitcoin, it might cost about $50 per month. However if you are a normal Joe, using it for email, occasional gaming and you put it to sleep when not using it, you'll probably end up in the 10-15 dollar range.http://www.overclockers.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-run-your-pc/

There's no problem with running the device 24/7. I've done it for about a month and have had no problems. Just set your monitor to sleep when you're not using the computer.

Yes and make sure you don't call towards the end of the day to set it up as I found out. The people they have available 24hrs a day can get all but one part setup for you. For the last part you will have to talk to their billing people and they are only there 9-5 or close to that.

You can always just pay the ETF of upto 175 and cancel your current line, then simultaneously buy this and get the 99 dollar price on your new line. 99+175 is Still way cheaper than paying 600 to upgrade.

Sadly that is impossible to answer; the amount of bitcoins you receive depends on the difficulty that you are on. If the difficulty gets higher you earn less

No. Using one of these is perfectly fine. Some advise: I don't consider these profitable. With increasing difficulty you would be lucky to make enough to cover the $200 initial investment in one year. I just sold one of these on ebay for $150. I would not value them more than $25 with the difficulty trend. If you are looking to make a real investment I would purchase a larger miner or go the scrypt route and snach up some AMD cards.

It has risen from $1469 to $1499 a couple of days ago. I managed to get it at the old price, beating the increase by a few days. Might get higher by February, the $ is in really bad shape worldwide and no end is in sight of it's fall.

NVIDIA is not good for bitcoin mining, better option is ATI, but even these can't keep up with ASIC's. If you are looking for mining, try an altcoin, or get a pickaxe. The TITAN is great for CUDA GPU stuff with Matlab. I have two and set up multiple workers on them.

One last thing, depending on your set up, you should be able to advance or retard the rest a bit to ensure it drops in time. But no problems with my 800$ and up hoyts

I've used it for several months now and it has worked great getting deposits ready for monday after weekend sales. Especially with used currency.

This has been adequately answered previously. The previous answers are all correct. And, there is even some good advice in answer 2. At this point in Bitcoin mining it should be considered a hobby. You will not be make return on investment for a LONG time if ever, but it is fun if you like tinkering with computers!!

Unfortunately no. But you can always buy a trial of a month and extend it later. :D. It is worth it. Trust me.
