If you only run 80 machines, I just cant see companies partnering with such a tiny commercial operation for anything.
80 machines won't draw any attention. I've enjoyed the pictures and updates, but buying s7's right now isn't a good idea. Unless they have phenomenally low power costs. Even with cheap power you are better off waiting for the s9.
Edit.. At 9.8 per kw at current price and difficulty you won't make any money after halving in July.
When do you think the S9 will come out, and how much more efficient do you think it will be? These new 2.7 TH S7s that just came out are just as efficient as the old 4.7 TH ones except they come with a power supply, which is huge.
Based off of rumors and bitmains Chinese website. It's 14TH. Not sure how many watts or the price. I'm guessing it will be released soon.
jesus, 14th. see i am thinking closer to 10. 14 would be SO beast, wish they would drop more info already...
I'm anxiously awaiting news. I think the days of the s7 are coming to a end. Unless we see a substantial btc price increase, the s7 won't be worth it after halving.
It all depends, who knows really. I think the best advice now is to wait just a month for the halving, see what happens to the difficulty, see what happens to the price, see if the S9 is announced, then go ahead and decide if it's profitable - or how profitable exactly - investing in mining will be. That's what I'm doing at least, seems to be the best course of action.
