Bitmain has started shipping S5s, wonder if they'll be bringing more online in there own pool as well. Interesting to see if these batches of S5s have any impact on difficulty.
On the Bitmain website they say about the batch "This is the last round of production for AntMiner S5, and Batch 5 will be the second-to-last batch of S5 units to be sold."
So will be interesting if they have something planed out for next gen sooner then I thought.
Well it came out around dec s5 and last batch ships in June .
The s-1 came out around dec and last batch shipped in June the s3's arrived in July.
So I guess the s7's arrive in July?
Of course this means not much room for the s6's
Time will tell.
In the mean time the Avalon 4.1 as nice a piece of gear as it is. Still costs too much I did the review on it and I have 3 of them,
but at 6.15 btc for a 3 pack shipping included to the USA it cost too much.
1650 usd for 2300gh when clocked to .51watts per gh same as the s-5
1505 usd for 4600gh when stock clocked for 4 s-5's
avalon simply chose to mine their gear rather then sell to us.
I think we grow a little this diff adjustment but I stay committed to my -1.01 to -1.25 as it includes -1.11%
