May I remind you of something called "HALVING" before going crazy on a purchasing spree?

July 2016 is 10 months or 300 days away.  Making this the perfect time to expand.  Since you should roi in 250 days with this gear.

So basically you are saying that this invested money to risk getting any actual profits only during the last 50 days before halving slays miners in half (not to mention the previous increased difficulty from those who jump in)? hmmm....Not sure if I'd call that 'perfect.'

A lot of us here are not mine owners, rather home miners mostly for fun. So your point doesn't make sense to me.

I'm trying really hard, but I don't see any "fun" aspect. Unbox, plug and play and time to time click broswe and upload new firmware..this is what you are calling "fun"?

if yes, you really don't know what "fun" for geeks is, but believe or not, it is not overpriced noisy box from China and you don't need to invest 2k USD to enjoy it, really.


Fun stuff would be cheap things like sidehacks USB sticks, whilst they are unlikely to ROI you can use them as a lottery ticket and solo mine, but I agree 2k for fun is not for me.

Real fun vanished at the end of the GPU era, so many combinations of things to try fancy rigs to be built and new firmwares and bios and drivers, and all the associated tweaking of clock speeds and voltages trying to get the most from every type of card.

I think we are just to old in the BTC game Smiley

I set up a couple old GPUs on my Gaming computer a few weeks ago to mine VNL when it took off. So i got to relive that GPU tweaking experience again Smiley and they're making more $$ my last S3.

Yeah I did the same but for ETH and gave up after a couple of days because mining/wallet experience was so poorly done. Good thing they burned through millions on it before launch.

Chances of ROI with 6 of these + 25% VAT? (The differences in VAT is kinda depressing) Tongue


I would highly suggest looking for a hosting data center.  I'm all for home mining but at 25 vat that's just to much of a disadvantage unless you have extremely cheap electricity.

What country are you in?

I've considered it, but there really isn't any real options out there. Do you know any?
This guy looks promising: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--1159107

I've already sent the money, no going back now! ^^ But I would consider something like the guy in the link above for future orders, if he turns out to be legit!
Paying about 0.06$/kW atm.

I'm located in Trondheim, Norway. I'm still running the S1's tho.. I know its kinda dumb, but I love it! Besides, they heat the house.. Tongue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ_kJLGYxRQ
I will replace them with S7's when they arrive. (And rebuild the room to get more of the heat out).

You might want to check these guys: http://www.greatnorthdata.com/

They're cheapest I could find anywhere.

'The right to privacy matters'
people are aware of this.  

so if btc shows 1000 units sold tack on 10% or so for other sales and we are at 1100.

just a guess but it is more then 0%  so why not  not just pick 10%

and realize we are 1000 to 1100 units sold

4100 BTC, but 1628 came from one order of at least 200 machines.
the rest-2472 BTCor ~300 machines. Total maybe about 500 S7

so bump to 600 this makes 500 to 600 as a fair estimate.


and 600 x 5th  = 3ph  in sales  give or take 500th

I see some people are trying to figure out how many units were sold in batch 1 so far. I am sure most people are using bitcoin to buy the units, but i paid via wire. So anyone else that paid with fiat money will not be showing up in the bitcoin wallet totals.

....(Many bought miners Zues miners at that thinking they would be profitable.. or even paid crazy price for titans). Be interesting to see if it gets the great pump or if investors hold back knowing they will lose half there investment with one dump.. Risky for sure..

Titan has ROI , with free electricity.  The purchase price was 14.6 BTC
Patch1, 4 cubes, 3 time sended 1 or 2 cube to warranty. Still one Cube with dead Die shipped back from KFC.
Results  today https://www.nicehash.com/?p=miners&a=0&addr=1394tL5SDZ4FmxJpeTN6QmESGN45bW9jQT&l=0

Total https://blockchain.info/address/1394tL5SDZ4FmxJpeTN6QmESGN45bW9jQT

If you are talking about this address above then the ROI has taken almost 1 year. And now the profit is ~10.5$ per day pretty good after a year Smiley
Better off selling the Titan to help get the ROI quicker now that block halving has hit prices are dropping might be too late now

I don't think that it worth now to sell it? Even selling of 50% real price is too hard i think. Better to earn ~0.047 per day.

somebody dropped 1628 BTC/single order recently; either a farm or hashnest/pacmic4? buy.
If a farm- at least 200 machines (without discount). Close to a PH, but probably a Ph with a bit of discount.
I am still thinking that they will decrease the price/give out coupon at some point-$200-$226 (1 BTC) and sales would increase twofold, in my opinion.

Would be nice to get a few good coupons for batch 2.


 I ordered 2 on day one so 2 coupons for 200 each for batch 2 would be nice.

A lot of us here are not mine owners, rather home miners mostly for fun. So your point doesn't make sense to me.

uhh, what is "funny" on sending ~2k USD to some chinese strangers? I'm trying really hard, but I don't see any "fun" aspect. Unbox, plug and play and time to time click broswe and upload new firmware..this is what you are calling "fun"?

if yes, you really don't know what "fun" for geeks is, but believe or not, it is not overpriced noisy box from China and you don't need to invest 2k USD to enjoy it, really.


Well, plugging in and checking the miner once a day is not what I am doing. I also have a GPU rig and always hang out on the altcoin forums, solo-mining some ninjas, mining some forgotten coins. If I was just mining btc, without even pool hopping it wouldn't be fun at all, I strongly agree. I don't expect you to understand this, if you don't know what I am talking about. Looking at the 2k hobby argument, I play WoW since 2007 ie. Burning Crusade expansion, I am paying 20$ avarage each month since 2007 and I bought bunch of special mounts and etc. This is far greater than spending a machine 2k (although if you look at my previous posts I think it is overpriced, like, A LOT!). I also like to have the latest gear.

Oh, and as you mentioned later, the last thing I am after is being rich through bitcoin. I am currently at my 2nd university education, I am a journalism graduate an active law student. Tongue

good point on the hobby thing , the problem is by buying this overpriced gear you are perpetuating the cycle.

Even wehn you resell the unit to some other poor sucker after using it for six months it still allows companies like Bitmain , KNC etc to flourish which is anoying since you know they have huge datorhalls of s7 units mining for themselves bascially at cost.

I wish you knew how to read. Since the first page I have posted several times about the S7 being overpriced and no I didn't buy, probably won't if I can't find a used one for a fair price. I was stating that not everyone is after huge profits, some people buy gear just for the sake of fun. And perhaps you have no idea how the market works, bitmain is now like the monopoly of this industry. They can put whatever price they want. No one to compete. On the other side, farms are buying in chunks and I am sure they will get or are already getting huge discounts.

Have a better idea? Start a fundraiser. It is what it is now, what you are doing is pure drama. They are well aware of their product being overpriced. (oh Gekko guys doing that btw and it is pretty exciting to follow, I hope they'll be successful.
