Not a huge fan of this form factor tbh. Makes it difficult to resell especially when they have to be shipped overseas.
The low noise makes it a great home miner, but they are missing out on sales not offering a miner in the S9 form factor. A poor business decision.
Well if it is real. The watercooling has to be pretty big.
Without the cooling setup it most likely can’t do 52.5 watts a th
Or 55 watts a th.
If you have 3 s9s and ten cent power. You do. 42th at 4200 watts
That is 10 kwatts vs say 5 kwatts or 50 cents a day 180 a year.
So 3 s9s are about 1600 a savings of 2900
So at 10 cent power in 15 years it pays for itself.
Let’s say you have 20 cent power.
So you save 1 dollar a day in power or 365 a year. In 7.5 years you make up the power.
I am pretty sure the numbers are correct.
So if it breaks you are screwed.
If one s9 breaks you have two left.
Also vosk tested it. First boot he was hashing only 4th. Maybe it is what the real hashrate is and the server site failed to supplement it up to 40 th.
If the gear has a few old reworked bfl monarchs it could do 4th.
Asicminer could be doing a scam here. Be very careful with this.
If it is old bfl monarchs rebuilt it is low cost to them and they could rent from nicehash to supplement it.
Nicehash has 400ph so if 200 ph is rented they could cover 5000 of these.
For quite a while. Not saying they do this but it is possible.
An interesting theory :O -- I'm still in negotiations w/ them but I may just go ahead and tear it down regardless
