I've been considering one of these for months but the idea gets killed every time I look at the difficulty vs returns vs estimated future returns.

Me too - exactly the same. I actually almost got one used on Ebay but the guy just wanted way too much for it.
;

I had 4k in 2 5 card 480x gpu rigs...I looked at the figures and bailed...took a 1K loss...just ran like a little girl..that was about 3 weeks ago?
Made the money back with the rise...kinda/sorta...spooky (if I count also the loss on next years taxes on equip at 25% off equip vs what I'll mine in taxes)

sometimes it pays just to be stupid / lucky on mining

AT the time tossed myself out of the boat so my buddy could roi on the stuff and keep the coin the last 2 months and get a 1k discount

hell maybe I'm learning something since 2013 and BFL fiasco! (doubtful but a guy can dream)!

Lucky at crypto unlucky with women..wish it was vice versa....on the other hand 10K btc with 100 plus btc I'd be DAMN attractive then Smiley

This whole crypto thing is like a game of FROGGER with ASIC'S on a difficulty road in the dark.

stupid and lucky....like a drunk on the freeway that never gets hit....

ROI is very similar to GPUs.

Selling GPUs is easier due to larger market, but ASIC miners are also ht products among miners

I think ROI on GPUs is easier and there are more miner rewards daily with ETH/ZEC/XMR then DASH.

Plus who knows how many more of these ASICs they will manufacteur.

I would only buy this for 3 months ROI max, not worth the risk paying anymore. You can buy GPUs, Antminers, Scrypt Miners instead.

I have 2 of the 150 units.  They run extremely stable and I haven't really had issues with them.  PLugged them in and they have been going for over a month now.  Baikal's support has also been great.  But I agree, it comes down to betting on pretty much, the X11 algo.  Hopefully I didn't waste 900 sum bucks.

They had a price drop on the 150 Mh/s to $300 ea, which means it would be a better value to pick up 6 of those than one of these.  I know its more cabling, but your saving over 500 bucks, plus they might still be running the buy 4 get 1 free deal.

Yeah but truth be told you are betting on X11 coins etc. if btc rises could work or just
suck all cash flow out of X11 etc coins and all Alts.

Me waiting on any equip. I have stuff still good roi'd with scrypt

Seems silly right now to spend say 3 btc, IF the hype is true on 3k btc at the
End of the year. Doubt as of now I'd make 3 btc clear profit with elec paid etc
ON any type crypto equipment if above is the case

Hmm...

Calculations at todays prices:

X11: 900mh @ 217W:  Approximate ROI 379 Days
X13: 900mh @ 255W:  Approximate ROI 555 Days
X15: 900mh @ 270W:  Approximate ROI 3093 Days
Quark: 900mh @ 132W:  Approximate ROI 398 Days
Qubit: 900mh @ 146W:  Approximate ROI 396 Days

If you're an "investor" you might look at this differently. I'll pass! Smiley

Yeah I just tossed it out there. Must be a plot. All equivalent any type crypto
Or gpu stuff. Even like new bitmain scrypt, is all over 1 year ROI😩
