Not worth the risk for razor thin margins.
Agreed. Very high level calculations show that this unit costs about half per GH as much as currently available mining hardware, uses half as much electricity, but won't be delivered for 3+ months.
If difficulty goes up more than 2x over the next 3 months, which is VERY likely, this is not a very good buy. Money would be much better spent deploying hardware now at twice the cost per GH and mining with it for the next 3 months.
Well people showed interest about this kind of product:
SP-30 Home Edition? So... 50% of the hash rate of the SP-30 is 2.7TH/s running on a single PSU? Quiet? Wow... effectively double the hash power of the SP-10 that I don't need to have a personal data center to run. Um... yes please!
The product itself looks very good. It's the three month pre-order at only half the cost of currently available hardware that is not so good, but to each their own. If the price of BTC is much higher in September than it is now, this could still work out OK for buyers in fiat terms.
I can't really blame spondoolies-tech for trying to presell as much hardware as they possibly can because it offloads their risk onto buyers.
