Title: More Antminer S3's or S5's? Post by: senderz on April 14, 2015, 04:12:59 AM 3 x antminer s3's
- 1320 GHS - $300 for antminer's - around $110 for PSU's power consumption = 1050w total invest = $410 1 x antminer s5 - 1155 GHS - $340 for antminer - around $65 for PSU power consumption = 590w total invest = $405 what do you think is better to invest in?

There is quite a bit of difference on efficiency. What is your electricity price? Title: Re: More Antminer S3's or S5's?

What is your electricity price? I may be moving where it would be .07c a kwh Title: Re: More Antminer S3's or S5's?

What is your electricity price? I may be moving where it would be .07c a kwh With current I would say go with the S5. I'm not sure at .07 you might run some math over at bitwisdom, I'm guessing S5 off top of my head but I could be wrong. Title: Re: More Antminer S3's or S5's? Post by: Amph on April 14, 2015, 07:31:33 AM everything under s5 now is pointless, you should look at efficiency(and with the summer coming it makes even more sense), s5 is more efficient than s3 or s1, no sense to buy those old miners, unless you have free electricity
or you can wait for s6-s7, they should come this summer unless bitcoin price tank too much Title: Re: More Antminer S3's or S5's? Post by: mazedk on April 14, 2015, 08:44:44 AM I would go S5 aswell. Im paying .04$ a kwh and considering investing in s5's atm, s3's are just not worth it in the long run.

I'm saving a bit though in case a new antminer comes out. Title: Re: More Antminer S3's or S5's? Post by: notlist3d on April 15, 2015, 12:51:18 AM I would go S5 aswell. Im paying .04$ a kwh and considering investing in s5's atm, s3's are just not worth it in the long run. If you have extremely low electricity the S3 could make sense depending on price. The S3's were just built like a tank I think they will be around for quite a while. |
