Clearly if such miner (i.e. 1000W, 5TH) did exist, and was for sale, then the closer to $2000 it was the more compelling it would be.

Is that enough speculation in the Hardware sub-forum?

Look at prices of SP35's we have seen some miners will spend a pretty penny on a miner. I hope it is closer to 2000 or less.

But if they come out with this they really can charge a good amount. Part depends on what computation is doing.

It would seem for anybody that is trying to purchase 5 S5 miners (i.e. $2000+, 3000 Watts, 5.5TH), a 1000W 5TH, $3000 miner would be a reasonable alternative. Maybe not completely compelling because of the cost, but certainly something to consider. It clearly isn't an alternative, because it won't ship for quite a while.

It's hard to tell the price. The A1 dragons came out around 3k. So they have had them that high before.

I don't think they will go quite that high, but if they hit the 5T for 1k watts it's really hard to tell.

This is either a scam or its a unit that will most likely cost around $3000 US dollars that nobody will ever buy.

But its hard to tell since its not a scam company.

well if it shipped today at 3k I think it would sell.

5th and 1kwatt is worth 3k if it ships today.

but it is not shipping today and like a lot of asic gear it will be held back for at least 2 months of self mining.

so the earliest it ships is late Sept.

not worth even shipped today my friend. 3K is just way TOO much at current prices.

well it "may" be worth 3K if BTC prices jumps up & HOLD.

well no one is going to sell one to me today but I would pay the 3k as I think I can profit with it.

at such great efficiency it will bring back home mining so demand/price would be huge

hate to see the word scam coming from a -ve trust person.

well anyways, i have dealt with lketc direct & they deliver. so it's not a scam.

i have over 40 x 1.5th dragons from lketc & had only miner issues. it is still running well till today.

yes i have to agree, pricing will be high imo.

just wait & see. i might order another batch.

let's hope they come out with a improved version FW as we all know the previous FW have some limitations to it. i think it will be more likely 5ths +/- 10% of real world performance but more likely towards the "-" 10%.

also a better PSU too preferably server type PSU's as they are much better than regular ATX's.

my guess it would be priced around minimum of 5.5 BTC @ USD 280/btc.

Most miners even from the start were overpriced but thats what you had to pay to have the newest thing. Some of it payed off some of it not. Only just recently did we see hardware affordable enough for most.
The only real question is if they will sell to the public or is it another large buy in.

The dragon 1T i got from them ran forever. I must have ran it a year before I finally sold it. Still have a 1.5 T dragon.

They build solid machines. Were just waiting on chips.

Yeah the dragon was super solid. Was even a major player is the big china farms until more efficient gear came out. I bet there are still a ton of dragon's that are still functional sitting around in a heap somewhere collecting dust

Some china farms put it though TOUGH conditions and they worked great. Only thing they did have was if a data center got them to hot it would slow them down. But individuals did not really experience that.

One can only hope. Sad to see the once "backbone" fall to big business. But if btc drops significantly or another Mt Gox happens the home miners will endure better and continue as the backbone. We can't expect any company to build miners with the intent of diversifying hash power, like once dreamed....where are you Satoshi?

I know and so were PC at one time. I guess my point is home miner in a way are the back bone, all ways will be and 2k for a miner that all most all ways will never ROI unless you have maybe 5 or so is not worth it to me .

I do want them to at least to pay for them self beyond that i don't care . imo they should keep going down not up but that's how i feel .

and when i see it costs to make them, i have so many things to say to about that but don't,
IL sum it up one word

BS !!!

leave that alone completely.

Any way I hope these are priced below 1k if they sell them to the public etc or a buy in, has a nice price, i may get in one .

I do hope we get one more company like bitmain to keep things in a good healthy out look.

They are just announcing early. I don't believe they are even taking pre-orders. LKETC has delivered massive amounts of miners.

I would not consider them a scam, just maybe releasing info to quick.

I agree they do seem to care , the ones i have no faith in and never have is grindseed or SFARDS whatever they call them self at the time they aren't either ( Scams) but price there stuff to high.

I fear this miner might be beyond the reach of a lot of us as well or is it to high, only the big guys can afford it etc I'll be honest i know i can make a lot more then what i do mining all I need to do is move it out of my house but then other thing come to play I don't want to deal with I like having the hardware were i can see it so me having my stuff hosted wont work and most could mining is a joke.I do get tried of buying used stuff because the newer stuff is way to high etc and bitmain has seen that and makes a lot off us on per miner buy, so would the others.

I don't think there will be another price war until the shiny new tech isn't shiny anymore. We all will pay for the die shrink. And yes it's very possible this will arrive before the end of year.

It's coming one big Price war or no miners to the public any more. we have not really had any thing new Sense Xmas im including the S4 + so it going to be really really interesting to see who wins and what we get if any thing.

I also think it is safe to say now we won't see no more then one or two new miners a year if selling to the public keeps going , we might see more but very limited buys then none till the big guys put it out we do need two big company's all ways selling to public on a per miner buy with batch buys etc not just one so prices stay healthy . . the real race is kind of over now like it was with PC's at first ( AMD and Intel)those my age renumber those days I'm sure.

Lets hope whatever it is , is it very good for everyone.
