no seat purchases for over a week now 

if anyone wants to get a few seats at a small discount to market get in touch with an offer. especially if you would be a first time nastyfan

Yeah, I've considered that, probably get 2, maybe 3 good units out of the bad ones after transplant surgery.  I still might attempt that, but I've deployed Spondoolies hardware to replace them so I'm not in an extreme rush.

I'll send the fried one and one half working one over to start.  I've got your details, I'll pm you.

I still think the big guys are holding back from dropping 3 or 4 million on a new chip super farm.

Basically Bitfury made a lot of money and then shut down gear.
While they can make a .25 watt /gh machine
I think they are afraid to commit the 3-6 million need to make a 20-40ph farm at the current btc price level.

This is a good thing. I am hoping for 11-18 months between gear.

the s-1 was nov-dec 2013----------------------------- 2 watt gear
the s-3 was june- july 2014--------------------------- 0.8 watt gear
the s-5 was nov-dec   2014--------------------------- 0.5 watt gear

the s-6 or  s-7 has been mentioned for  later then june 2015 I read this  here:

So say the s-6 comes out in July and is 0.38 or 0.4 watt gear
Then in sept the s-7 comes out at .3 watts
We are seeing a mature asic industry unfold.

This reminds me of the intel cpu's once sandy bridge arrived pc's are so good  the next two gen's pushed us into little mini pc's
Anyone with an i7 2600 cpu in a desktop has no need for an i7 4790 desktop.(90% true not 100%)

So to drive sales the pc industry is pushing tablets and mobile gear over desktops.

So if you have a .4 watt asic replace a .5 watt asic  what is your gain?
I do wonder how this plays out.

 I would not mind rocket to the moon on btc to 2000usd. It would wake everyone  up.

 I think we wander around in the 200-300 price slot and in the 44-49 diff range for months to come. I can live with that.

Of course you profit, why would anyone even invest here if at best they would only get what they invested 
look here:

Q:How does the user make profit?
A:Profit is calculated by the formula: unpaid principal (BTC) * 0.7 (satoshis per BTC per second) * time to find a block (seconds). Mining revenue will be prior to pay for the profit, the remaining of mining revenue will be paid for the principal.

Do you understand now?
