Asic Blade upgrade ?

[CroverNo01]

Hi,

I currently have 12 blades 2X 1 gen and 10X 2 Gen

Is it worth upgrading the 10 blades to an extra 44 Gh/s ?

Currently they turn out 130Gh/s so upgrade to 176

I was planning on selling them in a few days as a full rig to anyone that would want a full prebuilt rig

Worth the upgrade ?

Depends on the price of the upgrade, is it diy or you having the upgrade done?  If you're using sidehack's kit at .2, the return on investment just for the upgrade would be within the first few weeks if not days ( base on just 1 blade at current difficuly factoring in an increase of 117% per month), and would continue to earn positive revenue until July.  Plus if you decided to sell them you'd be able to easily get more in return.  So is it worth it? I think so. Problem is if you're using the backplane and the 1000watt psu, you'd have to find a 1500 watt psu.

Break Even Period:    24 days
Max Profit:    $26.6 (Dec-13) - 88.7%

Month       CumulativeReturn
Oct-13       $7  (after the upgrade cost has been paid)
Nov-13        $22
Dec-13        $27
Jan-14       $26

I would just sell them now and get the max profit possible.

Thanks for the good detail description, it would be using the sidehack upgrade service I also need to send them and get them send back which will also cost a fair bit. The PSU the now is the 1000w and seems to be running at max capacity and I cant seem to find one that fits for 1500w.

Hopefully the rig can go to a good home or be added to a current rig.

Cheers for all the advice

Ok so factoring in his service cost (which i think includes shipping) + a small discount for all 10 blades:

Break Even Period:    57 days
Max Profit:    $61.5 (Dec-13) - 12.3%
Month    CumulativeReturn
Oct-13    $-130
Nov-13    $17
Dec-13    $62
Jan-14    $59
Feb-14    $34

This again is at current difficuly factoring in an increase of 117% per month.

The cool thing about it would be it would be worth more on resell.
