Title: if i order 10 000 avalon chips today...
Post by: 600watt on May 14, 2013, 09:10:09 AM
... is it a good investment?

will they really ship within 11 weeks?

will i be able to get the chips mounted and ready to go within 4 weeks ?

will those 2800 GH/s make me smile ?

will the difficulty in 4 months be more or less than 80 mio ?

will this 160 k $ investment pay ?

is this a best case szenario ?

- good investment, maybe, but only because you will probably end up reselling many of the chips on ebay and making a couple of bucks

- no, def not, not unless you are willing to pay. to get boards made and assembled for that many chips could cost you over 10k

- yes, it would make me smile

- I'm guessing more than 80 million, but I could be wrong

- maybe, but it's very risky, and it's a lot of money to risk

- best case scenario for you is that is that BFL doesnt ship for another 3+ months, and ASICMiner somehow falls apart and doesn't add more hashing power. And Avalon doesn't ship batch 2 until after they start shipping their discrete chips. And you find someone to assemble miners cheaply and quickly.
