Really it comes down to you either buy some S7s now, or wait a moth or two till the next price drop/new model. If your going to buy now, do it. If not, wait.

Or you just pass on mining all together.

"Now pick up your skirt, grab your balls, and lets make some money" "Your gonna pass? The only people I see making money passing are NFL quaterbacks and I don't see a number on your back" -From the movie Boiler Room, one of my favorite.

1) It's not winning, it's earning and comes at a cost.

2) That calculator does not include electricity costs or which way the exchange price can go (and its affect on monthly electricity costs)

3) That calculator does not incorporate Difficulty changes, which happen every ~14 days.

So i see to many people say start and some say about electricity for this i said i have reseloved problem but why to dont start to win ? were is problem i dont understand if i calculate with link with that person who publish link with 35 TH/s it cost 13,900$ and i made an calculate on this page

https://alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator

with 35 / TH/s per month with this calculate i win $2621.96 and for one year it will be 31,452 $ and if this site is correct and problem with electricity is not problem for me also temperature about this why to dont start mining can someone give to me a good reason why to dont start ?? or my calculates are wrong ?

Hey Mate,

I'm a newbie as well and have been looking at Avalon 6s actually really favorably to the s7 as a home hobby miner.

if you are looking at 10 i would contact blocc.co directly they are the world wide distributor and have probably supplied zoomhash. Reason being that they sell a 10 pack at a much cheaper rate - http://www.blockc.co/collections/bitcoin-miners-shop-avalon-blockc-co/products/avalon6-bitcoin-miner

10 for 13,900 and they will throw in the RPi controller for free (zoomhash charge $75 i think)

You will only need one RPi controller for all 10 A6's

You will need PSUs for all your rigs which could be expensive - BlocC has PSUs they can sell you just ask the sales staff (the rate imo is good!) BUT I would wait for the guys on this thread to test the undervolted PSUs if you are considering running these ever at a lower hashrate but higher effency - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/review-avalon-6-miner-winter-mining-notlist3d-also-faq-and-help-1257327

I'm waiting on these guys atm! They seem like good people who know their shit and have taught me a bunch in the last couple weeks.

For pools I would go with Kano's pool https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/kanopool-kanois-lowest-09-fee-since-2014-worldwide-2432-blocks-789369

Pools is a massive debate in itself but read this topic to get an idea of the 'behind the scenes' dealings between pools and the debate about what's good for the BTC network - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/empty-blocks-1085800

This topic convinced me to never mine on Eligius or the bigger PPS pools like Antpool and Discus Fish (And I feel dirty for giving them my hash now)

But if you are just after the BTC and making ROI asap you may have different priorities in choosing a pool.

BTC mining from my knowledge doesn't really require a fast internet connection but a reliable one so you should be sweet!

hope this helps! super jealous of your 10 units!

Both of you guys I have advice for:

DO NOT GET INTO MINING.

It's a waste of god damn money and electricity at this point. Do not be fooled by the guise of money printers.
Mining sucks. I used to mine before the ASIC came into play as well as afterwards with the S1 miners.

Needless to say you will likely never break even unless you either have free electricity or you manage to mine with them for a bit and sell them to some sucker here on the forums for some ridiculious overprice..

I know mining seems like a good idea on paper.. Its not. Its's shitty, hot, loud and basically fruitless. These I learned first hand.

Well if you are only focused on ROI sure BTC isn't a get rich quick scheme.

I'm getting involved because it is the most geek fun I've had in years and am learning a shit tonne about different things. I love learning and want to back BTC into the future that's why I'm here.
