Title: meany or one big one
Post by: pjcltd on December 08, 2013, 05:10:41 AM
ok so hears a question for you all

We have the following kit
6 * Avalon Minis 60Ghz  = 360Ghz
70 Blades 10Ghz each  = 700Ghz
1 BFL SC 60   = 60Ghz
2 Cubes  35Ghz  =  70Ghz

now that's just over 1100 ghz of mining power

they are all pointing to BTCguild all working as they should

now would we be better off getting rid of al of that and getting 1 big miner
would we get better results ?

Power is not an issue as we have free power

Have you priced out what you could get for that hardware? On average?

Thats a good starting point, I'm debating the same thing myself.
Since my hardware, on average, is worth 5 times what I bought it for and with that; I could buy even more power!

ok well that's one of the problems we have
6 * Avalon Minis 60Ghz  = 360Ghz  = £3000 each = £18000
70 Blades 10Ghz each  = 700Ghz  = £350 each = £24500
1 BFL SC 60   = 60Ghz = £3600 each = £3600
2 Cubes  35Ghz  =  70Ghz = £1000 each = £2000


all based on ebay prices
then we have the problem of turning the cash back into BTC

so we possible have a cash pool of £48000

First of all mining power is measured in Gh/s (giga hashes pro sec) not GHz.
If ppwer consuption is not your problem then it's not worth to swap gear.
1Th is 1Th and will earn you the same, no matter is it 1 device ore multiple.
And last thing, prices on ebay are way overpriced so it's not really a good place to start calculating value of your own miners.

stick all your eggs in 1 basket and risk the basket breaking and loosing all your eggs or
stick eggs in different baskets and if one breaks you still have plenty of eggs in other baskets.

im pretty sure i know which id choose
also i want free power to :(
