So since this GB is scheduled to land potentially 2+ months ahead of the KNC R19, I have to think this is a better investment. Unless of course KnC increases the unit's hashing substantially and/or deliver before Q2. Am I wrong? Anyone else agree?
Agreed. I ran some calculations over at The Genesis Block, and I think we would actually make money on this. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though. I had it start in March 2014 since it's supposed to arrive late in February, put the difficulty increase at 75% per month, electricity at .1/kwh and no increase in BTC/USD exchange rate.
This is an important discussion in terms of choosing the round to invest. I've purchased R17 and considering R19. Considerations: 10 shares R17 costs $1100 for 400 GH/s shipping late Feb. Whereas 10 shares R19 costs $2250 for 600 Gh/s shipping Q1/Q2 (whenever that is). As difficulty seems to be the most important aspect and difficulty increases with time (how much is only estimates), months difference in R19 hash time delay does not seem to be the best buy even at 600 GH/s. It really depends on when the Neptunes will begin mining. Another consideration is the Neptune's after hash selling potential. Because the Neptune is only being offered to "current customers", it may demand a higher price if/when sold by the group after 5-6 months. This may make up any difference in possible shortfalls. Really too many variables to confidently know the outcome....any more concrete thoughts or facts would be helpful.
