I can tell you exactly to the penny how much my CoinTerra TerraMiner IV will earn in the next 6 months, 12 months and 24 months. Zero. It died in less than 2 weeks. If you can sell this piece of garbage to someone while it's still running do so as fast as you can.

Did you overclock it?

Never overclocked, never SSHed. I just used their pool screen to enter my pools. I plugged the "Plug Me in First" cord into one dedicated 15-amp outlet and the "Plug Me in Second" into another dedictaed 15-amp outlet within seconds.

Any suggestions on how to get this boat anchor to mine  Huh

I recommend the selling of your hardware as fast as you can because in some months you couldn't sell it because it won't make good money instead of the electricity bill!

so the theory goes...

1Th/s brings in say $1000 a month. In two weeks it will only make..  $800... in one month it will only take $640.... in two months .. $409...

wow...  this whole game has a six month shelf life. But of course if the value of the each coin/part coin mined increases then it will balance out slightly...  i doubt will will see an increase of 20% every two weeks.  But we should see something coming back in



If he buys it at 8BTC and he makes 6BTC and sells it back at 3 BTC he won one BTC, you have to compared a BTC amount to the number of BTC he is spending to buy it
What about the BTC (electricity) to run it.

He doesn't pay for electricity

Guys these Chinese guys are making big money...and speculating the price when they want.

They are indeed, around 3800 new BTC are mined everyday in average; most of them are probably hold

The beauty is you can get 100BTC for just 45,000USD and be very well positioned for the next spike up in price; no mining, no additional costs, just 45,000USD

I completely agree... Smiley

Ok, but your advice, should i consider to try to sell my 1.6TH CoinTerra, or just to upgrade with some more hardware and continue earn?
Just mine and hold what you have mined. Dont sell it. Stupid me sold my Avalon about a year ago as I was scared about diff increase & profitability. Now Im going to mine with my coincarfts until those broken.

I dnt pay AC Smiley i sell AC but i dont pay any, so that is not problem. I just ask now do i sell it, or i can have profit with him for about year or 6 month?

If you don't pay for electricity that is a big plus but it doesn't mean you won't be better off selling the miner

Check at how much BTC you can sell it for and compare to your expected BTC return if you keep mining; please tell us what you decided

how much will i earn in future?
sum 1500$ * (1.246^i / 1.372^i), i=1 to n

n = number of months (use wolframalpha to play with the formula)

Example #1: 12 months from now you will be making 472$/month for a total of 10,164$. Not bad for a 3800$ miner...

Example #2: at 226$ per month in electricity bills, the rig will become obsolete in 17 months (September 2015).

You should look closely at how you're actually paying for your electricity - the Cointerra rig is'nt know for it's power efficiency and from what I understand it's close to 1.2 Joules per gigahash, that equates to $5 per day (or $150 per month), assuming you're paying the US average cost of 11cents per kilowatt hour. If you live in the UK you'll pay almost twice that, and the problem with electricity costs is that you have no control over them, (and they will almost certainly never go down), so it's a fixed cost per month to run your miner. As the difficulty goes up, your earnings drop and the cost of electricity becomes a larger portion of your gross income, eventually reaching the stage where you get no profit. At current BTC value this would occur approximately when the difficulty is 10 times what it is now, or the network hash rate hits 500PH. A more efficient rig, say at 0.7 Joules per gigahash would save you $42.50 a month. If the plans that Asicminer has for adding capacity with their new chip come to fruition then it could happen pretty fast, possibly by the end of this year (although it's unlikely)

And of course it depends on what you can sell your rig for, Cointerra dropped their prices recently.

Don't know if this helps or confuses you more, but good luck anyway.

If you expect bitcoin difficulty to continue going up ~15% every ~12 days, it is better to sell it now.
If you expect bitcoin difficulty to level off or increase slowly, it is better to keep mining with it.

Sell it while it's still considered fast!   Sad

The 2 TH/s miners are a comin' and you'll be the little guy getting bitcoin dust.   Cry
