Better use money to buy high quality miners.
Amount from public share sales -> 23,910 BTC, when BTC was slightly above $100/BTC -> $2,391,000
Mine Gh/s -> 235,294 Gh/s
Sierra units required -> 196 Sierras
A total investment for the Sierras of $1,862,000, if no discount was granted (November Sierra $9,500).
For me it is a difference if there is left about $500.000 today or about 5,000 BTC. That was my question.
Remember that they were supposed to get this in October which is funny considering HashFast didn't get their silicon from the fab until November 7th
I wonder what a December Sierra would be priced at, their "Third Batch" is priced at $6,300 per Sierra with Mid to End January Shipping.
I imagine December pricing would fall in between at around $8,000/Sierra (1200GH)
They would be able to get close to 300 Sieras for ~2.4M
or 360TH without discount.
With their discount they literally should be a 500TH mine now. Truth of the matter is, HashFast won't ever have enough chips to provide this to IceDrill and to all of their customers in any decent timeframe.
We can only wait until we hear word from Will or DeadTerra on this, right now we can only hope that IceDrill paid in BTC since I believe HashFast said they would honor a refund in the payment type made of same amount if they go past their December 31st deadline.
