Topic: Which one to buy right now ASICMiner Blade or CoinTerra? - page 2. (Read 5148 times)

Being one of 'those people' who do not believe in perpetual exponential diff increases I would clearly purchase a Jan delivery 1/2TH Cointerra miner. I think that with low watt consumption, increasing transaction fees and low $/GH the Cointerra miners will be profitable for a very long time.

Also another thing I am thinking is this, I was going to Pre-Order a PS4 which will also arrive in a few months time. It has better graphics and performance then the current PS3. A lot of people will not blink to pre-order the new PS4 or XBox One. And these consoles doesn't have any ROI at all.

But when it comes to mining hardware, we get confuse which one we should get. If I put it into the Game Consoles Mindset. I will go for the PS4 and not bother getting a PS3 now. 

That is the problem, so 2TH/s is actually 2000GH/s.

CoinTerra = 2000 GH/s
ASICMiner Blade = 100 GH/s plus 1 already got so it is 110 GH/s

Wouldn't my 110 GH/s blade be useless in 4 months time compare to the 2000GH/s CoinTerra?

That is the biggest confusion, everyone including yourself and I know that in 4 months time the Hash rate will skyrocket. So if I get a more powerful miner to prepare for the skyrocket time be a better option? But I think if I can afford it, which I can't is to buy 10 blade now, and also order for the CoinTerra, and sell the blades when CoinTerra arrive.

I am getting more and more confused. I have been thinking of this question for a few days already. They are going to cost the same price. But which one is a better bet?

It is a bit like I get a car today I can travel at the speed of 110 Mph, I can travel pretty far in distance. But the speed limit of the highway is increasing so the traffic of other cars are getting faster. If I get a 2000 Mph car and order it now and get deliver in 4 months time. I can keep up with the other drivers. But I can only drive when I get my 2000 Mph car. Would I travel further distance if I get a 110 Mph car now and start to drive. Or start my journey in 4 months time, to keep up. But by then most likely there will be even faster cars on the market. 

Its a good question,  personally id do the blades since you can have them tomorrow vs. waiting till next year when the difficulty level is said to continue to skyrocket upward.  You'd be better turning over what you can now, rather than wait for later (IMHO)  Use this Link to help you decide a little better:  http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/  

You could also look into these guys: http://drillbitsystem.com/products.html  They seem to have a good rep, and are talking delivery in the next couple months.

As for speeds, just like any frequency out there-  MH/s(megahashes/second>GH/s(Gigahash/second)>TH/s(Terahash/seecond)


1000GH/s= 1TH/s

I am really confused which one to buy right now ASICMiner Blade or CoinTerra? I am thinking about getting either 10 x 10GH/s ASICMiner Blade or 1 x 2 TH/s CoinTerra which will not get deliver until January 2014. 

Which one should I get right now? Will I get my ROI quicker by buying 10 Blade? Or wait for the best and pre-order the CoinTerra 2 TH/s which is more powerful but that will be in 4 months time? 

Also I am confused about how many GH/s = 1 TH/s 

Thanks for your time.
