Anyone is missing 2 or 3 chips to get a full miner? Since burnin will replace broken asics i now calculated that i have 12 chips, from my private ones, that i cant use. If someone needs a couple... its in batch 5, order 17.
You rolled the dice and had the bravery to share with the community, thank you.
I'm not sure how this will play out for you. I don't think the KNCs are your greatest (immediate) threat, lets see what happens with Avalon and Bitfury. (NB I'm invested in Avalon and KNC)
Lets see what happens I'll be watching with interest. If you want to lower your risk I'm sure you could 'float' your investment on bitfunder and sell miner shares for your 'in hand' device.
For example (don't crucify my crude maths)
Purchase price: $60,000 = ~652btc Break into 500 shares ~ 1.3 btc per share @ cost Each share = 1GH Sell 250 shares for 1.5btc (recover 375 btc) Keep 250 shares (250GH)
Purchasers will get 1GH of in hand mining power for each share and at the current difficulty would get ~0.13btc per week dividend (minus electricity cost).
