Evening all,
First post and all that, but have been following this thread for months now,
Do we know of the possibility of a group buy being set up? or is that out of the question.
I currently run a number of Spondoolies-tech SP3x series and would like to keep buying their kit due to the unrivalled build quality and form factor.
Kinda a guessing game when buying second hand kit.
Regards
Alex
I would
LOVE to setup a group buy, as I think that is the only way I would get my hands on one of these machines. The problem is that 1) without a published price, it would be impossible to arrange 2) without having all of the group buy participants and money together, SP won't acknowledge that I want to place an order and give me the necessary information 3) without SP giving their approval, I can't even say that they will sell to me if I did get 15 buyers together who wanted to purchase.
It appears the impression is that the units will sell for between 30-45K each and will be available in Q1 of 2016. I would say if there's genuine interest among a dozen people who have that kind of $, I would love to host a group buy. Unfortunately, I think it would have to be done blindly for the buyers, without knowing the actual price until all the BTC is collected and a deal has been made with Spondoolies.
In short, if you want 1 of these units, have ~$40K sitting around, and want to pledge it for a group buy of one of these machines, feel free to drop me a PM and let me know. If there were a dozen people, I think it would warrant a conversation between myself and Spondoolies.
As mentioned, jtoomim would make for a great choice to host a GB as well, and I would be interested in joining that if it were made available also.
I would definitely be interested at some level. Obviously for many of us timing is everything. As much as I love my SPTeam I have to keep things moving more like a business lately and that isn't quite as fun, but still requires the appropriate decision. I will not be running anything over the S5+ efficiency. What is it .44 or .46? But I cannot wait until March of next year to be there.
I'm still working my SP20s and S5s I haven't sold but I am looking at exchanging that + cash to the best I can get. If that is S7 so be it. I believe the bigger the hash can be more important than the efficiency if it is within a reasonable amount because I am a dreamer. heh
I am defintely interested in doing something along this way, be it any size, but I would be as thorough as anyone if I don't see my miner, and if I don't have choices on mining locations that would be important. It could be difficult to rent shares from an SP50. Each person really needs one to themselves and then they work out deals with friends.
Keep me in mind though!
