its to early to sell now, u have to buy and hold untill the units are out of stock, and if btc goes to 6.8K or later this year to 8.5K, and if there is no stock, prices are really x2 or x3 or even x4, that happen with L3, i expect same thing with Zec machines, x4 if they are out of stock, and if btc goes to +6K, which i think it will go, so best way to do it is to wait to be out of stock and then wait 2-3 month, and then sell, but if they restock, prices can plunge haha
i hope the zec machines or s17 stock wont diminish in few days...
The stock isn't selling well because it is now too expensive. I bought 5 of them but by the time I got them the price was already around 0.007 btc/TH. $980/28TH ==> $35/TH ==> 0.00693 BTC/TH. The free market is below that now. It seems the last 43 S15 units will only sell when people make mistakes or if HASHNEST lowers the price, or maybe because there is spike in LTC prices and people buy in LTC.
I agree it was early to sell. I only did it because I had a chance to do it. So many times I've waited and the market price dropped much faster than the mining returns with cloud mining. This has happened at every cloud mining site that had a free market, starting with $CEX. Granted there are times when the pricing defies logic at every site. My current thinking is those are the times to buy/sell.
You point out the BTC price can go up and that would make a difference. That is true, but we could be stuck at the current price range for days or it could even go down some. However if BTC price sores, so will the difficulty and then the mining rewards decline. However it might be enough to sell out the remaining units. At even $7000 BTC the $35/TH would be 0.005 BTC/TH.
The market history hasn't been updating for days. Too bad. From what I've seen the price starts very high and then drops quickly to near the actual price point and then tends to drift down over time. I have seen huge price spikes but those seem to be more of when the price was greatly depressed because the maintenance fees were almost 100% and then the price of BTC or LTC went up enough to reduce the maintenance fee. I don't think the stock situation has much impact except for the very beginning. I would expect the S17 to start trading very high, but it is probably already too late to get in on that as there is a 20 day pre-order. By May 6th the real crazy high prices will be mostly gone. Maybe I should have bought a couple units a few days ago.
