I actually think the other companies will hit the network hard with a lot of hash at less than 0.12 per GH/s to push out a lot of miners. It will be rough in the beginning for them but they will ultimately push everyone out. The chances of them doing this during the winter is not as good as this coming spring. So, if people are going to continue mining, this winter may be their final opportunity to do it at this low of difficulty. I can see 90+ billion in difficulty quite easily by spring time with the new rigs about to hit the network. The only thing home miners have to hope for is an equivalent rise in price of bitcoin to offset it. That means price of bitcoin would have to be at least $420 if difficulty was 90 billion.

I'm just thankful I have sold all of my rigs. I had 44 rigs. I have two S5's and one S3+ remaining. Their auction is almost over on eBay now. I had a couple of S4's sell for over $600. The other S4's were around the $550 to $570 range. I sold many of the SP20's for more and/or for the same that I paid for them in the 15 package with free shipping. S5's have been going for around $365 on eBay lately.

I don't agree that we will see a huge spike in hashrate because that would affect the price of BTC too much. Rather they will switch out older hardware for new giving a slight bump in hashrate but the real difference is in their fixed costs - they will make much more profit with the savings in power.

Thank you for your input as well, alienesb!!!

I like hearing from both sides. I believe I'm going to go ahead and take the plunge. It's a gamble... but what the hell. I'm a gambler at heart! I'm ordering 9 right now and another 41 to 46 the end of December if the difficulty hasn't gone crazy.

By the way, does anyone have S7 coupons they are willing to let go of?

Damn, I wish I had room for that many.. How about I buy into the 41-46 order? Aka. you host a couple for me? ^^

How are you hosting that many? I felt like i was decent on mining with my 100 amp mining setup.... but dang 50+ of these things. That is a lot of power.

Anyone know approximately how loud the S7 fans are? S3 loud or S5 loud? Big difference there. I'm about to sell my two Avalon 4.1's to upgrade. ............

The correct answer is S5+ loud.

I'm saying if there are other companies selling mining gear chances of hiking price is slimmer ( I think). They were making S5's when SP20, and Avlaon 4.1 had stopped making batches.

That kinda gave them 100 percent their choice on pricing. And I am not saying I blame them or horrible company. I'm sure it was all a business decision. I can understand it even thought I don't like it.

Thanks for clarifying about it being pricing of rigs and not bitcoin.

A lot of the gear does not come offline though it moves to a cheaper electricity area. I think someday we will get a lot of A1 and old bitfurry gear off network. But when I do not know.

Some places are able to get electricity for extremely cheap. And not surprisingly they will milk every last drop of profit. But miners at this point have a few owners in most cases kinda going down a chain of lower electricity.

Totally agree... At the end of the day Bitmain isn't a charity, and while they, like other companies in the space can honestly (I hope) state they do enjoy being in the space, it's about profit...

Far too many people still have this utopian home GPU miner hobbyist view of the crypto currency ecosystem (most directly SHA-256), while it's great to believe in the greater good the reality is that at the end of the day it's about profit, if not for the founders of the companies, the investors that helped build them.

No, can't blame them. I would want to make money too if I were them. It's not just them and the S7 I'm worried about. It's KnC and Spondoolies as well.

Your forgetting about Bitfury.......they can't be far from next gen release either Roll Eyes

So that's 3 not selling to home miners=only Bitmain,they do have a corner on the market Cry

Aren't you the guy who posted photos in the "miners porn" thread? You had that "kid" constantly harassing you.

I remember you had a nice setup, sad that you are getting out of the mining game.

Yes, I'm the one who had that "kid" constantly harassing me. But hell, a lot has changed since then. I never expected Spondoolies to stop selling to home miners and stop providing competition in the home mining arena. A LOT has changed. I want to continue mining. It's just too many unknowns at the moment. I want to barrel ahead and continue but I also want to be smart. It's possible I could still buy 9 or 10 S7's. I will say this though: If I buy 9 or 10 units here soon, that means I'm going to Washington State. No way in hell will I continue here in Alabama with 10.6 cents per kWH at present difficulty and price of bitcoin. Yes, I can make enough money here to ROI more than likely, but not near as much as Washington State. At nearly $2,000 each rig, it's quite a gamble with all the unknowns.

The chance of another vendor selling to "everyone," like bitmain, is rather bleak, imho. I think they will mine for themselves and only sell to large operations. All I know is "I'm scared as hell to buy more rigs now." I'm actually kind of feeling it is a trap.

Well the thing is if you bought btc at 230 and btc rises to 300 you would have been better off holding original BTC than buying the miner. The miner would cost less BTC at 300 btc value.

So again that went into my ROI notes. My ROI notes and math was kinda a sad place.

I'm sure it is a great product on S7. Sorry if I am a little negative after trying to do my ROI sheet, I just got a lot of unknowns when i put it on paper.

Yes, but you know Bitmain... They will raise the price of the S7 if the price of BTC rises to 300.
