As anyone who has mined knows, calculators are absolutely terrible at predicting ROI.

Historically the best priced hardware has always been able to ROI regardless of how many people "proved" it couldn't using calculators.

That best kept secret in mining. The second best secret is just how well you do when you sell your old equipment on the secondary market when you are done with it.

Buy a unit for $500-$600, mine a coin out of it, and then sell it for $300. Happens every single day.

so true.

The difficulty is a big unknown, but so is the btc price.
Everyone here seems to assume that the btc price will stay constant as of now.

So the AMHash shares will only ever make a profit if difficulty increments stay below ~5%. And, even if they do, the profit will be minimal compared to the cost and only achieved after 6+ months.

I'd love to know where you keep getting info that nobody could possibly know.

Is it astrology?

Dude, it's basic math. Run it through one of the bitcoin mining calculators if you want to check for yourself.

As anyone who has mined knows, calculators are absolutely terrible at predicting ROI.

Historically the best priced hardware has always been able to ROI regardless of how many people "proved" it couldn't using calculators.

Assuming you are using a calculator that isn't just wrong in the math it does, the only uncertainty that comes in is from the "difficulty increment" parameter, which is a statement about the future and obviously cannot be predicted accurately. However, you can control it in the calculator and try different values. That's why I said they will only ROI with difficulty increments less than about 5%. If you don't understand that...

I don't disagree that difficulty must remain low for these (and any other miner) to ROI but you cannot calculate ROI with a calculator.

For example if the next 3 difficulty changes were each 0% and the 4th was 20% that would equal 5% average yet yeild much more than if it had been 20% for the first change and 0% for the next 3.

See the quote below from earlier today:

The mining operation is co-sponsored by ASICMINER and ROCKMINER and listed on Havelock Investments

Start at 5%, and on that a 3% decrease every next increment. BTC always at 360, power and electricity set to $1.63 per day. Break even is August 2015:

If BTC goes to the moon... yes, we get a completely different story.

This assumes btc prices stay at current levels.
If btc goes to the moon, we get a completely different story.

And if btc does not go to the moon, maybe the difficulty increments will stay low. Maybe.

I'm reading this and I don"t understand it at all. It's 1633$/day/5PH maintenance fee?
Or 1.633$/day/GH?

First looks like 10 times lower than competition, second doesn't make sense at all.

Yup, it's 1.633$/day/GH.
It's admittedly a bit confusing, but here dots are used as a decimal mark, like in the US.

Actually it's 1.633$/day/1TH. I needed to do some math Wink From table:
1.25BTC price (0.00125 * 1000 GH), 588$/360 days maintenance fee = 1.633$/day/1000GH

No it's $1.63/TH/s daily. (website is a bit misleading)

The Havelock overview clarifies it:

Quote
The fee is 1.89*10^(-8) USD per unit per second.

Which equals $0.001633/day/GH/s

It has to be $1,633.00 total cost per day, $1.633 per day per GH means that the maintenance fee is $1.6 per day while the cost of a GH is .00125 BTC = $0.45
