You can trade your GB #4 shares in; 1 share of group #6 qualifies as 6 shares for sake of of Group Buy #5 hosting. To avoid paying any additional hosting on group #5 I would recommend only trading in 6 of your group #4 shares.
Confused yet? I know I am.
It wouldn't make any sense to trade in your group #5 shares (not yet at least).
I'm interested in trade in.
I have 8 shares in GB 4 and 5 each.
How would this work/is this possible if I wanted to trade in all shares?
Yeah I don't want to trade in any gb 5...so if I understand correctly I can trade 6Xgb 4 shares for 1Xgb 6 share, keeping 2 in gb 4?
Comes out to .926btc = 1.646 - (6 * .12) if my math is right. And you'll be covered for your group 5 shares.
A ha, I see. I was about to jump on this because I thought it was only (6*.12). Didn't realize that this would need to be applied
against 1.646btc. Nevertheless, for equivalent hashing, it's about half the hosting fees. So I pay a premium of .926btc for half the hosting costs given equivalency between hashes. Thinking about it...
If payouts average .15 per share for this over the next two months, it'll take me six weeks to make back the premium, but then lower hosting thereafter. This draws out my ROI by six weeks, but I'm more protected from low BTC value against hosting fees should BTC value go down.
Hmmm...I just hate the idea of drawing myself out further.
I think you are missing the fact that these shares are 250GH, you would be trading in shares that roughly total 120GH; so not only do you save on the hosting but you are doubling your hashrate.
I did attempt an apples to apples comparison (by adding theoretical 5 shares to 8 to get to ~260Ghsh), but overstated the equivalency. My starting point is 6 rather than 8 you are right.
I'm saying if I got to 12 shares in GB4, this would get me to an equivalent hashing rate in this GB. That's $179.88 as compared to 99.00 for this GB6.
But yes, I am doubling hashrate too...but for .926 BTC.
If there's an average return of .18BTC for each share in GB6, it'll still take 5 weeks to get to the same spot I'm in now with respect to ROI, but thereafter, yes, I would have a more accelerated return. The question is always one of difficulty, and in five weeks it could go up a lot, thereby negating gains of accelerated return. I do see the price of BTC rising, though, to negate hosting.
Sorry for thinking out loud, but just on the fence I guess with drawing out my ROI any further despite gains in acceleration of return.
