At 4 cent power cost my numbers show this will take 65 months just to pay itself off.
I am beyond confused here....for the same price you can buy 3 used L3+ units and make 13x the monthly profit and pay the units off in ~4 months
Is there some secret way of making a profit or are people willing to throw away money just to have a shiny on their desk? Its not like Litecoin is some innovative blockchain thats going to explode in the future, its basically on life support as a coin already...
This is all relative. For some people the L3 will make ZERO profit while the Apollo will be more than profitable. This is because the Apollo is 60% more efficient than the L3.
Same way you can also make zero profit with an L3 because you cant run it in your living room which is the only place millions of people can actually run a miner...with the Apollo you can.
Also L3s were over made then dumped on the market, the only new scrypt miner that is shipping for a comparison to be made is to an innosillicon A4+ which costs 1500 bucks for 620 MH, you can get the same hash power with 5 Apollo's which cost the same amount...if anything im undercharging considering my way smaller economy of scale.
On your last point...people have said the same thing for the last 3 cycles..and they will continue saying the same thing for the next 3
Regardless I hate getting into the discussion of profitability, since thats not the point of this. Its a miner anyone can run on their desk and collect crypto without thinking about it and not worrying about the single light bulbs worth of power cost...the more people on the network that are supporting it and more importantly evenly distributing and decentralizing the mining rewards the better in the long term.
Apollo is awesome !!!
