batch 10 out of stock ? seems like I just got the last 5 of them Tongue

My guess is the difficulty changing made it where they were not selling to many. I would think they would wait till after batch 10 shipping date, but I figure we can see a price decrease.

The good question is how much will next batch cost. The last difficulty adjustment and the that will happen on that will happy in about two day's likely will be 35 percent or so is not a outrageous number. Could be higher or lower... but will bitmain adjust price that radically? I don't think so but I would love to be wrong.

the better question is will batch 11 come before march 2nd when the coupons expire..

hopefully it will be like 400$ ill probably pick up one then.

thats what they did with the s5s.. i got two of those 350$ ones.. still running strong.

Then you were right.

But I'm moving this spring, and i'm not 100% sure of know how things will be there.

It also coincide with the "cool times" soon to end AND then the halving will be next door. So i'm thinking there will be a speculative BTC spike before the halving, which could be a good time to sell hardware for many reasons.

That is a bummer for sure it seemed like you had a sweet gig with current apartment. You seemed to run a good amount of gear for an apartment... and free is awsome. Mind if I ask what is making you move? I would try to stay if I ever found a deal like that.

I am surprised the landlords did not throw a fit though with electricity cost.

Big corporate apartments complex do not have individual meters. I'm leaving because it was a temporary deal. I'm getting my cheap apartment now, i just dont know what the circuit there can support. For all i know it could be 60A.

And its older, so i'd have to scale up the sound proofing a lot. I just dont know yet.

I think they will make another batch and sell again. I think they have mastered design with least amount of chips needed and high freq. I think they make a killing when they sell them. So I feel every batch just means more money for them. I think we will keep seeing them and they will lower prices based on difficulty partially trying to drum up new sales at lower price each batch.

I agree and am hoping they drop prices to get one final big push of miners out the door before 16nm miners make the S7 a thing of the past.

they will have to be very cheap to be worth anything.. currently, at 10c a kwh they cost around 90$ a month to run, and in 2 days or so they will only make 170$ a month..

they will only be worth while to people with very low power cost.

at 5 cents power or less they are good gear. at 10 cents not very good.

i was thinking about getting one this round but my power costs arent so good..

Costs are based on average PSE residential rates for electric service ($.088594 per kWh [first 600 kWh] and $0.107172 [remaining kWh])

Right now, i'm finding it icky at 0.06$, so i would second your own judgment here. I used to recommend at 0.07 and under. At the moment i would not get in unless i was at 0.03 which myself am not. I'm even considering selling the 2 S7 that i have. Maybe even the Avalons 6 even though they're pretty chill.

I always assumed you had free electricity from your apartment building.
