I almost pulled the trigger on this today as well but the lack of any prior history to the Company, lack of any contact info on site and BTC only payment all send up red flags to many new people trying to get into mining and at a marginal increase in efficiency I’d rather just buy from bitmain who has a long history on delivering but not the best customer service
I almost pulled the trigger too, too many holes in the company though and reading these posts led me to hold off....had the cart loaded with 5 and was even a bit excited! lol. Let the pawns go first, let's see what happens
Some very famous and trustworthy personages support them, so they should be legit. First batches are supposed to ship on march, expect demand to ramp up geometrically from there on.
still point *5* in my previous post at $1,350 usd in Feb of 2018 vs just getting an S9 now for say $1,200, I think it is....
why bother 3 months away from shipping and on the average..ALL CRYPTO MACHINE MAKERS of any flavor are USUALLY one month late anyway
so call it 4 months
you can make that bet now and have better difficulty and ride the coin pump on the stuff you mine now ..perhaps double...thus why gamble it on equip 4 months
down the line
indeed ..if you expect your coin of choice to pump like BTC better to hold....I have equip that has ROI'd from this year..but IF I'd kept BTC instead I'd have
3x the money on the 3x I made on the ROI!
so if you DO buy equip..take out a loan and pay in cash first...then if you get in trouble you can get out of trouble with crypto...but me ....from now on
it will be 1) fill solo 401k with crypto (up to 42k) first ..keep it all ..works like equip off gross income ..the rest of 2017 2) do the same as (1) up to 42k keep all the crypto
in a solo 401k from the biz....also first part of 2018 as well... then 2) look for dubious equip say after Chinese new year in 2018 as the solo 401k bucket is filled for 2018 also
more than one way to skin a cat
but if crypto is pumping....buy crypto...and use fiat to buy equip on a bet...but myself ...I expect a pump on BTC and quite a pump on LTC thus my strategy above
(be warned, however...I know zip...at one time I was a BFL Cheerleader in 2013 and drank the newbie kool-aid...be suspect of all I say...I"m deluded..)
