i hate to tell all the early s9 adopters i told ya so....but i told ya so.
...
...
they sold s9's to early dedicated adopters at 21-2300 bucks a pop and now people like me that waited patiently for better numbers can now get them for 1400-$1550 each plus shipping with roi numbers that surpass the first set of batches numbers.....if only they listened to me and the few others that warned buying now was a mistake....they just wanted to make as much as they can before the halving praying on people that didnt know ne better.
I paid for 2 x ANTMINER S9 First Batch - Shipping starts from 12 June × 2
4200 USD + shipping 110.66 USD Total 4310.66 USD for 2 X S9 It was about a 4 BTC piece ( 2156 USD )
I paid with US dollars
Today i can buy less THs for 1550 USD but still 2.729 BTC with moment rate.
When I sold the last time BTC, then the rate was 1 BTC=670 euro.
So the price today for me is still over 1800 EURO per miner + shipping if I pay with BTC, what I can sell later at a higher price.
For Batch1 S9 i paid 200 euro more.
Two-month mining profit is greater than 200 euro.
So I do not see Batch1 early adopters losses. I already bought today 8 BTC to buy miners, but probably is a better option today not to buy miners and hold BTC.
im confused about your numbers....at the top you total dont include import taxes for the miner it seems. at the bottom you show prices that seem to include import taxes....sorta like your making your nurs look better then they really are. also the price ofbtc hasnt been 670 euros since june 19th which is fell sharply soon after that....like next day soon lol. that means you only mined at these numbers for a couple of days at most before the fall but thats if the miners arrived on time which im sure you did get a few solid days of mining. another thing i didnt see were costs for repairs...was it you that had issues with boards not working? if so the speed and or cost of sending the board/boards back should also be factored into your above numbers.
yes the first batch is a little fast but many of the people running them underclocked them because they were highly unstable at those speeds and if you got yours to run at full speed great but u would be one of the only people to actually pull that off so im not sure i see that being likely but more power to you. i also didnt factor in the cost of your power....how much do u pay per kwh??
anyone that paid before the halving got screwed. unless you have free power....free rent....free internet....live in ur moms basement....free import taxes (no one has this)....and any number of other highly unlikely things (but not imposible but i doubt everything applies to you) with ur setup the roi dates didnt make it worth it not to mention the price of btc went DOWN making the roi dates even further down the line then they were before. i think if ur gonna post numbers they should be the same one accross the board not ones missing key info at the top and ones that include key info at the bottom. key info being import taxes. keep all prices in one currency too. dont start with usd at the top and finish with euros at the bottom to fudge the numbers a bit. if you want to do the prices in euros do it in euros and same goes for usd just dont mix in a little of both.
if I do all usd I was not screwed with early buys.
I paid 2170 x 2 = 4240 + 80 in import = 4320 for 2 machines that mine at 13th each.
So the new gear is 3203 + ? in import = 3270 for 2 machines that mine at 12.93 each maybe so did I earn 1050 with my 2 batch 1's
Lets check math on this. give me some time. my records show they arrived on june 14
so june 14 to june 21 7 days at diff of 196 I earned .4661 btc
june 21 to july 4 13 days at diff of 209 I earned .8118 btc
July 4 to july 10 6 days at diff of 213 I earned .3676 btc
½ ing
July 10 to July 18 8 days at diff of 213 I earned .24512 btc
July 18 to Aug 2 15 days at diff of 213 I earned .45960 btc
Aug 2 to Aug 15 13 days at diff of 201 I earned .42211btc
so 2.77233 btc earned x 576 = 1596 usd so I needed to earn 1050 I earned 1596
so 546 ahead without power factored in.
so 2 machines = 2700 watts so 2.7 x 24 = 65 kilo-watts a day June 14 to Aug 16 = 63 days
63 x 65 = 4095 kilowatts so in my case the solar array is cheap say 4-5 cents so 5 x 4095 = 204.75 in power
596- 205 = 291 better off batch 1. if your power was 5 cents. if you mined kano.is x that by 1.05 = 305.5 better off at 5 cent power
use 10 cent power
596 - 410 = 186 better off batch 1 if your power was 10 cents. if you mined kano.is x that by 1.05 = 195.3 better off at 10 cent power.
Furthermore I did to aug 16 today. the reality is if you buy batch 12 today it takes 3 to 6 days to show so you would be earning more money.
So a batch 1 early buyer was better off then buying batch 12 and or batch 10
