Hmm.. Decisions decisions.
Anyone have a crystal ball know how much hash power will hit the network once KnC delivers the Neptunes / to see the difficulty in late march / mid april?
My crystall ball says. Shi* will hit the fan before the TH/s units ship out. Network hashing will jump 10 fold before that. KnC wont take refunds on any newer orders for good reason. Everybody is scared now. Hashing power goes up up up.
Neptune batch one 1200 units at 3TH/s is 3600 TH/s to network
Before Neptune or any TH/s units ships Bitmain will ship 1xxxx units of Antminers worth +3000 TH/s that will be hashing 6-8 difficulty hops before bigger units. 10000$ is 1.2TH/s Antminers delivered and hashing in few days. Eaven shitty Avalon 55nm clones will ship xxx TH/s. Most of the Antminers and Avalon clones are going mainland China market.
Antminer 10k$ 1.2TH/s now, hashing in less than a week.
Pre-order from KnC @10k$ 3TH/s around 2-3 monts and 6-10 difficulty hops later.
Power drain is another story. Most miners wont care about that now.
Bitmain started Antminers with 4.5
BTC hardware and making of that simple unit is 200$ work and parts. Chinese make iPhones for 400$ /sarcasm
Expect new price cut after difficulty hop or two. Antminer will be 1
BTC
