If you have to pay .20 cents per kw/h then definitely don't get into mining.

I doubt there will be any other Scrypt miners that are more efficient unless LTC goes back up and stays there.

ok but what about roi?
i do a simple calc

for ltc with 110000khash, 1000watt consumption and 0.2$ watt/h

$10.04 gross profit / day
$5.24 net profit / day
$4.80 for electricity

the ASIC cost 1349$..

so you get ROI with 257days at this ltc price..
oh..
do not forget that in the best case, if ltc price double, you will get roi in 257/2 days, but if ltc price halve, you will get roi in 257 * 2 days!!!  Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

Yea, and what other faster & cheaper miners are going to be released before you make ROI on this? It's just not worth buying at current price.

Usually some good deals on Ebay and even Amazon -- when looking for A2 units.

Sorry if I hijack the thread a bit here, but does anybody have any recommendations for reputable sellers of scrypt mining gear ? I am especially after more A2 Terminators (90 or 110Mh/s). Zoomhash seems shady after some discussions I followed around here.

I just bought two A2 Mega's from Zoomhash a couple weeks ago, and they treated me well.  One of the power supplies died on one about a week or so after use, and they shipped out a replacement super fast and didn't hassle me - so my experience with them has been positive, and wouldn't hesitate to order from them again.

InnoSilicon is also selling some directly:

But presumably they're shipping from China, so with the cost/time of that factored in, I think Zoomhash is probably the only game in town (apart from maybe some random people selling them here and there).

I agree that just mining LTC doesn't cut it nowadays, but when you decide daily or multiple times a day what to mine or eventually use a good profit-switching pool ROI comes much quicker. Coinwarz is a good start to get an idea whats profitable today.

Also at my place we have better prices for leccy in the night, so when profit-ratio is suboptimal, my miners automatically run only through the night. Sure this moves ROI further into the future but on the other hand I am only running when reasonable profit is possible.

If you are just going to plug it in and mine LTC -- then don't buy a miner -- you will lose money.

If you are smart, do your homework and mine different Scrypt coins -- you can do quite well.

and if the consumption is 0.35$ watt/h where i am then forget about it , Nice Math BTW

You have to look on company websites that sell scrypt miners for release dates for new miners.

SFARDs just released best efficency ratio but its a dual miner which kinda kills it for most here.  On top of that its way too expensive
