Title: Big score or big flop? Post by: AxTeHOM95 on January 13, 2014, 07:36:37 PM i just scored a pair of knc jupiters and i paid $22,500 (via CL).
I have been waiting to jump into the game and this is absolute lowest I could haggle this guy down for them. I am pretty stoked. they are up and running pretty smooth as butter on eligius. Few questions: Seems like these go for between 11.5-12.5BTC on here & elsewhere. How much do you think they would be worth one month from now? would you have paid that much? im having a little bit of buyers remorse, but they have already snagged me 0.4BTC so i'm not feeling that bad. :D Title: Re: Big score or big flop?

Post by: dogjunior on January 13, 2014, 07:50:19 PM Kind of high. You could have purchased 7 ant miners for 18.55 BTC. They would give you 1260 GHs total hash rate. Throw in about 4 1200 Watt power supplies for another BTC and your cost would be 19.55 BTC. ($16000 USD).
Title: Re: Big score or big flop? Post by: dirvine on January 13, 2014, 07:52:30 PM Good luck with it all. I was mining with a BFL 50/60 Ghs for a wee while. I think if you use http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/ you will tell with you should be getting and an idea of outlay etc.. Thee has been large difficulty increases recently driving costs of these machines down so it's a calculation game.
On the plus side, mining is great, miners are totally required so you are doing a good thing. All the calculators base forward thinking of profit on current prices, you really need to look forward I think, so what seems bad now may be better later. Be careful off large swings in difficulty though as it can kick into your resell costs. I would not like to ponder a guess at the price in a month, but if you take difficulty increases into account you can see your rig mining at 30-50% in that time. It's not entirely linked to cost but a good indication. In any case, best of luck and happy mining!! Title: Re: Big score or big flop?

seems like it wasn't a blatantly bad deal, which certainly helps my buyers remorse. :) |
