I was not around for a while at the Siacoin project. Is this coin still worth to follow? What are the next plans for this coin? Will there be some releases in the near future? Would be nice if someone can give me more informations.
they plan to fork the coin, as you can see previous in the thread with the amount of siacoin mined via other ASIC's this last year and the
fact siatech has no real network up to use these coins with more coming as the obelisk (doorstops) have arrived and will add more hash to
the process...
the odds are slim to none you can ever ROI on these units, even with a fork to obelisk only ASIC use
I am on day 23 of my 1st obelisk (doorstop still in box) I got the other 4 on Wens 9/1918(I got 5 total that was the last of them) thus they
are on day 3 as doorstops status not worth pulling them out of the box at a $1 a day loss each after electric
I suppose I could use them as bookshelf supports or doorstops left in the box...other than that out 1.11 BTC after taxes I would have
paid on the mining of coin to pay for these after gross and the 25% 1 year all equip deduction of 2017.
So got something back on this, but still, 1.11 BTC would have been nice to stay in HODL mode, even at these prices
So in other words, someone now could GIVE YOU a siatech obelisk sc1 blake2b siacoin miner and/or an obelisk decred miner
and you would never ROI (I think a decred miner, available now would be $1 a day, by next month when they arrive IMHO,
they won't ROI either.
I have a FREE decred miner coming 2nd batch, I got for my 5 coupons 1/2 price back in the day. But even FREE when it arrives
I doubt it will be worth running vs electric loss vs price when it shows up in 4 to 6 weeks.
So feel free to follow this 'clusterf*ck' but keep far, far away as to not get sucked in.....it is likely to go noplace.
Siatech will move the machines out, take their 20 million in assets and close shop, again IMHO. They will have shipped
the doorstops so we can't say it is fraud, they will say market conditions changed (like BFL) and that will be that. Will
divvy up the 20 million to pay of debts and split the rest among the founders I'd imagine and walk. Letting the corporation
take the fall vs their personal wealth. Rinse/Wash/Repeat...how things are done in the USA these days.
Get the units out the door, doorstops, divvy up the assets and bankrupt the corporation to protect your private funds via
the corporation taking the fall. The sad state of affairs is, besides the fork, which I doubt would work, even with the best
of intentions, it took them a year to make the ASIC's and bitmain and others 3-4 months max...thus these units are 8 months
too late to matter
so it goes you win some you lose some
