Are Titans really that rare? This is not the impression I had at all...
I'm at 13c kwh and have 2 of them ROI'd already....and with BTC halving in 2016 and no new units of any real note for at least 6 months (alcheminer II annoncement
of 512mh 1150 watts for 4950 usd ..again in 6 months
well you can see 1 Titan at 350mh 1250 watts and already paid for (or even on ebay at 3k-4K) with LTC prices NOW ....you have a good shot at doing real well mining
all the way thru 2016 if this holds true (alcheminer ii speed and prices)
and hell if the alcheminer ii folk actually think you can (and are correct) you will be able to ROI with that beast more then 6 months from now I"m MORE THEN golden
through 2016 yet
and this is NOT counting on an over 4 buck or more LTC price on the BTC halving pump .should that happen
so that is why they are RARE....everyone is keeping their unicorns...er I mean Titan's close to home...so to speak...
example on ebay of a Titan that MAY be worth getting ...or at least a more reasonable Ebay price at this time....unless it blows up more
http://www.ebay.com/itm/KncMiner-titan-KNC-Miner-LTC-BTC-Bitcoin-Litcoin-Dogecoin-Doge-cryptocurrency-/262140190924?hash=item3d08c5e0cc:g:ymQAAOSwIwhWQ-lzIt will probably go stupid high...but the seller looks very legit..paypal with credit card you as buyer are protected...if my MATH is correct for the next year this would work easy under a 3k price...after that not so sure
but again for those of us with the beasts we have NO incentive to sell
FOLKS WHO MAY have an incentive to sell Titans will be located in say Australia how I got my 2nd titan last march HEAT issues ...too hot for him to run unattended (traveled for work) (it is summer there to our winter) and the elec costs (got 2nd titan from their last march) was like 34c kwh with fees or some such..I was told by him as well...so if ANY Titan's pop in any way shape or form. for sale in the world....it will be from some part of the world where it is too damn hot to run them and/or the elec costs are way to high..even at LTC prices now or up to 4 bucks..that is where I'd keep my eye out for such
me ...got 2 titans running that have roi'd at 13c kwh and a 100 amp service..I'm tapped out both in elec panel at 100 amp and price I pay per elec per month (eat the elec I hoard ltc and btc....with eventual all to btc) ....even with the 50 bucks i save off budget in winter for gas heat.i'm as far into this as I can go equip wise for now....so no competition on such titans from me any time soon
(although if this helps and you do trip over an extra titan cube broken or not let me know.....I got 4 spots for 'orphan' titan cubes yet......if anyone has extra (doubtful)
again it will "pop' overseas on sales of titans in all formats ..here/bitcointalk/ebay etc FIRST before such sales will happen in the USA or Europe ..or such was the case in the past
good luck ..keep us informed
