So the site is down to enable the selling of S4. In addition to the price which will be $1450, one will have to ADD shipping as well

Greed is a BAD thinking in any religion in the world, buddy... Grin

So you CAN fault anybody...and any business for been GREEDY...OK... Huh

ZiG

EDIT...: $1450... I am NOT buying this S4..."no way, Jose"... Grin

I will go with SP-Tech SP20 for $1190 ...1.8TH...Later...

Do not forget

SP20´=$1190 + $160 EU ($119 US) = $1350 + PSU (1100W) + 20 days later

Is it really cheaper.

Yeah. It would be so silly to price that unit at 2BTC.

exactly my point, but didn't want to put that out in the open

Will be interesting to see the next few days.

Not only is the difficulty of bitcoin rising, but the difficulty of bitmain executing their business plan is too Grin

Bitmain surprised us while launching the S3 by pricing it lower than what the market expected. They should do the same with the S4 as well. It should be priced under 2 BTC. Mining is not about just seeing how long it takes to break even. i need to make a reasonable profit. Atleast 10-20% if not more.

If you think manufacturers are making hardware to help you roi and make profit you are in the wrong business Roll Eyes

at around 2 BTC price S4 will be sold out in minutes

It's not wishful thinking, unless your power company charges you a constant rate in BTC for a kWh regardless of the exchange rate. At $400/BTC, once the difficulty updates in a few hours someone running an S1 at the default 2J/GH with 13c/kWh power will pull in ~$1.24 a day in BTC, and pay ~$1.25 in power costs.* At $800/BTC, you'd still be making $0.62 a day.

That's all good, but it does not invalidate the argument that in most of these scenarios you'd be much better off by buying BTC or holding the ones that you have. In other words if you need BTC to reach $600+ to break even on most current hardware, then why not just hold the BTC until it's $600 and decide then if you still want to buy the hardware, especially if it's priced in USD. I did just that earlier this year with some S2/SP10 purchases and they turned out great, much better than if I purchased the hardware a few weeks earlier at a worse exchange rate. If BTC doesn't reach $600 or whatever the target is then BTC is still in your wallet.

price 3.4 failed so there they go again...back to 0 with more thinking
on what to cut

1)psu
2) box or no box
3) with or without Shipping
