If he hadn't canceled his order he would have made a few bucks of profit, in case KnC will keep promises and really over deliver in terms of Hash power, let's say 450 GH/s.


The biggest flaw in his calculation is that he's a groupbuy customer - not an average customer. So it's kinda misleading when he runs around screaming "it's not profitable" when it really is for the average customer. Groupbuyers ALWAYS overpay.

And your few bucks, could possibly be in the thousands. Kinda hard to see the difficulty doubling every month... forever.


When I said a few bucks I was sarcastic Tongue both because I did't really mean few bucks but a few hundread  and because, as you said, exponential diff increase can't last forever Smiley

Mine looks good. The biggest problem with your calculation is you used BTC for price of hardware. 90 BTC.
Just want to know where you got 90 from? Because in-order to have paid 90 BTC, the exchange price would've had to been at $70. It hasn't been at $70 for quite some time now so... dumb or just starting shit? Roll Eyes

Oh wait you're that idiot who canceled their order because you're bad at maths and now you're in here now just to troll/spread fud because you're butthurt.

why 450 GH/s?
real is 400 GH/s
please stop unicorn dreaming

Groupbuys are good for the people who don't want to risk the full amount or don't have the money available. The bad thing about groupbuys is that they're highly risky (the owner of the miner can just disappear and nothing you can do about it), you overpay for GH/s and have to pay some fees. They don't represent the average customer.

Wasn't it around 70$ when he ordered?

120$/btc

add VAT 23%
add shipping Smiley
add fee



So...

7000 (miner) + 1610 (vat) + 150 (shipping + 50-100 (bitcoin fees?) = 8860 / $120 = 73.8BTC

Nowhere near 90 BTC.

Yep, 70ish BTC is also the figure I'm considering from the very first minute to calculate ROI. I paid in $$, but you know, the right way to calculate the return is to see if you at least recoup the same amount of coins you could have bought with your $$ when you placed the order. The miners are still profitable, but honestly is not looking very good. If they are only a couple of weeks late, it will be hard to reach break-even.

Do not forget that all those calculators consider 100% uptime, which never happens. Calculating 90% to 95% uptime is much more reasonable, I'd recommend to insert 360GH/s as hashrate for a 400GH/s unit in order to factor possible downtime.

Sorry i messed up.
miner was ordered 8.06.2013 with price 108$


7000 (miner) + 1610 (vat) + 150 (shipping + 50-100 (bitcoin fees?) = 8860 / $120 = 73.8BTC

Nowhere near 90 BTC.

7000 (miner) + 1610 (vat) + 150 shipping + 50-100 (bitcoin fees?) + 886$ 10% group buy fee = 9746$ / $108 = 90BTC

Agreed but 90% would be a bit extreme. 95-97% would be good numbers. There's also the possibility of KNC overdelivering - 500gh/s instead of 400gh/s??? Cheesy Anything above 400gh/s and we will do really good.

Oh that Genesis block calculator is just nuts. I get materially different results from it each week - down to more than just exchange rate changes. Perhaps they are mucking about with it. Besides, I think power consumed and likely output isn't accurate given what KNC have been saying recently

but you can mine altcoins Smiley


Well indeed...
I think you have to take them all with a pinch of salt and if you're jumping on board for the ride then you need to show some nerve too.

I just entered your numbers in (the correct non-fud numbers) and you definitely will ROI.

 Then one would telnet in, like with Putty, or SSH in and again like with Putty.

Did they specify that they will give users shell access at all? All I've seen is that they will give users web access to configure cgminer running on the embedded system. Are they using the OrSOC OpenRISC development board for this? Unfortunately all the links with more details at the OrSOC website http://www.orsoc.se/?p=127 are broken and return 404 - File or directory not found.

It's probably not the OpenRISC, but the ORSoC ARM SO-DIMM: http://www.orsoc.se/?p=495  (still all the links are broken) since KnC has talked about the SO-DIMM module in the past.
