would some veteran member here care about setting up group buy for October SP31 Yukon (B1) - $3,920.00/miner @3kW ? I guess we might be able to get a better price per miner for late October than 4K ... What do you say? Would there be any interest in GB ?
Thanks in advance.
The only people that will benefit from paying retail price for an SP31 are the ones that get free electricity and are adding to their already large hashing power paying for the rig from already minted coins. If you are paying out of pocket and just starting, you probably won't break even or just barely. You'll need to stay ahead of the curve, which is almost impossible since hardware is expensive and manufacturers have everyone by the balls.

Always been the case... things are somewhat better than AM vs Avalon vs BFL days. There are more options. Problem is 4 to 6 months development timeline for more efficient chips results in no benefits to the end user or small customer. The days of those with a few dollars to spend on mining getting into the game is about 6 to 12 months past. Unless you are using miners for something other than BTC mining and punting on some other Altcoin hoping for it to go to the moon then as Opentoe suggests there is little value in buying miners. There is even less value in rig rentals or cloud mining and less again in derivatives or mining futures very very risky. Although Coinarch is an interesting venture check that one out https://www.coinarch.com/ where you can long / short bitcoin actually met their team in HK they do have a great financial background. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfegChSSxxY Then again just go buy some cheaper bitcoin and hang on for the yo yo ride.
