Comment on Ask HN: does bitcoin mining pay off?

Comments

Don't forget that according to the (non existant) spec there's a finite number of btc. So even if it was profitable (which i doubt), it's guaranteed to stop being viable when every block has been mined.

Except that this will take a while, and then fees will be collected by the miners, and as Bitcoin price rises, fees don't need to be in the integer amounts to be profitable.
