Title: Newbie questions regarding the Antminer S2 Post by: djmulder on July 30, 2016, 04:55:59 PM Hi there,
I'm pretty new to bitcoin mining and I manage to find a "good" price on the antminer s2. I'm curious on if it's still worth it, considering it's humongous power usage I'm having my doubts. Am I overthinking things perhaps? Could you guys direct me in the proper direction? Kind regards, DJM Title: Re: Newbie questions regarding the Antminer S2 Post by: unholycactus on July 30, 2016, 07:10:44 PM With an S2 it's pretty simple.
Unless you have free or close to free (under 4cents/kWh), it won't be worth it. Have you thought about shipping prices too? Title: Re: Newbie questions regarding the Antminer S2 Post by: djmulder on July 30, 2016, 07:54:10 PM well I get it for 70 euroes and no shipping..
but yeh power seems too expensive Title: Re: Newbie questions regarding the Antminer S2 Post by: QuintLeo on July 30, 2016, 08:50:12 PM As inefficent as the S2 is, your electric needs to be FREE for it to be profitable at all - and that's going to be a very small profit for a lot of electric used.
