yeah I agree…what I get at 11c kwh is an a 7.5 month ROI if difficulty was flat…at the 3.85 price
you know that is not gonna happen…with shipping the price I found out for 3 is 300 bucks so figure
100 bucks shiipping per unit or 1900 bucks
In my case i generate 2400 usd a month of Titans …for 1.5 units (split with a buddy) at 420 mh
it would take me 1 month to ROI with the units …would kick me up to around 3k to start
so my question is …is it worth the 2 month gamble if I pointed all my hash at it with psu’s
side note: the knc liguidation sale i did this summer it was 1900 bucks for 400mh with damage
and dumbness on knc’s part we get about 342 ave speed. (we figured knc being evil and temp
workers this so not a big surprise our guess was 350 mh)
anyway with the savings with elec compared to Titan (about 30 bucks a month compared to Titan cubes)
the diff in price compared to the summer haul is like 520 bucks minus the 360 savings in elec for a year
and it is a wash …if you go that far of about 160 bucks more …again 3 months later in the difficulty game
so again…in my case…long term…will it all hang together long enough (titans and A4’s if I get them) to
make up for that 1 month (1.5 months with psu’s etc) and be ahead of the game…all about how long
the hamsters can keep turning the scrypt wheel don’t ya know (i also get reduced elec in winter to 11ckwh
and heat the house 85% for free if compared to last year) …so can i ‘tweak’ this enough to lose a month
and/or winter heat benifit into next year too boot
3k at 50% difficutly rise with these units is still 1.5k a month (myself figureing 25% rise at most)
but anyway things to consider
me…1 month of mining loss for 420mh (1.5 units if I split a 3 A4 group buy min buy)
as to IF jumping into this with no way to mine it (ie cold hard cash) I give you your point on this
and to sum up …imho likely worse comes to it all with difficulty rise it would be eventually just
be swaping that month front end for read end months …ie oranges to oranges (well maybe winter
heat befnifit next year) could just be running in place when all is said and done
not sure yet just a pondering it
following conditions
-
if a BTC pump happens and btc goes to 700 usd plus…should get this a no brainer and LTC follows as usual
-
would i likely get more out of this then the say 1.5 month loss of mining now at the end of life of all machines?
make this gamble up with a month or 3 at the end of life or all miners?
-
how many of these puppies are gonna come out? Titans ran LTC difficulty up about 25% since Nov 2014 (I can
work with that) er…50% difficulty rise er not so much…unless a price rise on BTC with LTC tag along…then
you’d sell more units and pop it up 50% diff rise…but as of now I figure 25% …as a guess a 25% rise with
a btc price pump to 700 and LTC to follow and all in all I’m making the same now even with the 25% pop in diff
-
a fore mentioned heat benefit the beginning of this winter all has and into next winter all hash …is considerable
was 85% of last years heat on house) budget went down from 84 a month to 18 lol
-
again likely oranges to oranges swap at worse with diff rise I figure
anyway what I am considering…at 160 buck diff compared to titans if you take off 30 bucks for 12 months and at (342mh) from 3 months ago with expected for 1900 bucks cost at that time vs
difficulty rise at this point in time…is such an idea already dead in the water or do’able yet for a couple months
- a bit back in equip depreciation on my owed taxes too this year too boot…such as it is
anyway just a pondering still not sure if I was a newbie I’d NOT touch this with a 10 foot pole…but I’m already in
deep with miners…thus my pondering
