Topic: Thought and ideas for a s-9 share buy. (Read 843 times)

Solar incentives vary state to,state.

The projected roi for,the, array is  4 to 5 years.  This is with New Jersey incentives.

Buysolar has a solar install business and did his install at a much lower price then a normal person can do,so.

It is also much bigger then a home owner install. 275 x 500 watt panels about 137000 watts peak.
I believe his price was close to 140,000 .  Without NJ incentives this would never  work.
I also think a homeowner would pay  40 to 50 percent more.

Say 195 to 210k.

To get back to the idea of doing some  group buy of an s-9 or two I found from Kano's thread the s-9

May be forced to only mine on antpool.

If this,is the case I am not mining the s-9s in a group buy.  I will self mine them.  As I do not care to send hash to antpool.

I keep seeing you reference your solar array and your very cheap power, but how have you allowed for the cost of the solar array itself? Was the solar array hardware donated? If you can sell power back to the grid at 5 cents, this is not the true picture since it doesn't account for the capital investment.

Sorry this is a bit off topic, been meaning to ask this question since you mention your solar array A LOT.

Buysolar and I have two s-9 s on order.

We may do a third one.

At 220 $ a share for 10 shares. That should cover purchase price  and setup.

At 230 $ a share for 10 shares. That would be a 100 $ profit up front.

For us.


I am not sure how to price hosting of it.

We have the solar array setup giving very cheap power. And we could supply a platinum or gold power supply to run it. At five cents a kwatt.  The gear would cost 7 cents an hour to run since it should use 1.4 kwatts

So 7 x 24 = 1.68 $ a day or 50 a month.  The psu cost about 5 a month to rent.

That means if we charged 55 a month to run one s-9 we would break even.

The 5 cent a kwatt figure is what buysolar can get by simply selling the power to the grid.

So the numbers above would be too cheap for us to charge.

As a 100 dollar profit on the deal is too small. For labor involved.

We can not do more then say six of these pieces.

This is all very tentative and may not be done we may simply buy six and mine for our selves.

But I thought I would toss this up and see what people think.

So 10 shares at $230 a share to get one s-9
And $55.00 a month for power and for the psu.

That is too cheap for us too offer.

We need to determine a fair pricing for it if we do it.

We would not do it as a preorder..  We would take funds in once the gear is in shipping mode.

Up time don't know maybe a day per month down time.
It would be pointed

 Kano.is first   
Have no idea second
Ck solo third

I would do payouts once every week.

Please post ideas on this. As it is,completely on the drawing board.
