are s1's even worth running?

[btckold24]

I was going to upgrade them but decided it wasnt worth it.  I have a s2 and 2x s1's should I just sell my two s1's on ebay? as they dont seem to be making much compared to electricity. Especially with drop in BTC price.


any advice would be helpful.

Give them to me for free.  Just to be nice I will give you 0.095 BTC that I have.

Sell them on ebay.

[btckold24]

ouch I see they are down under 100$ on ebay - Think I will try selling  with power supply maybe I can get $125 that way.

thanks for the advice gents

Mine is still running. I undervolted it, got it deep in the basement and it's mining because I don't feel like pluggin it off . Well, maybe it is time to put it on ebay but hell, I just like the idea of home mining.

Shut my S1s off in the spring.

Look at what they produce over the course of a week. Does the requisite electricity cost more than the coins?

[cat2]

I turned mine off awhile back. Power cost more than my average BTC mined. I was losing .88 cents a day on average per S1.

In short: nope

With temperatures dropping in my region, it's a cheaper form of heat, so yes, it still makes sense for me.

Same situation for me, it is pretty cheap to use ants for heat geneartors.

Not if you have natural gas heat.

I just sold all my 9 S1's 2 weeks ago on Craig's List. I had them undervolted using only @170 watts each but the $50 I got out of each was more than they would have mined before they went in the red on electric cost.

[eoakland]

s1's are under water now.  unless you have super cheap power/or free power probably not worth it.  with that said, i still turn mine on at night 

[ChuckBuck]

If you're in need of space heaters in your home/apartment, then you can run them to produce both heat and some BTC change at the same time.

Otherwise, it's probably not worth the electrical expense of running it 24/7.

I run 30+ of them... undervolted... they are still making lots of $ at 0.064 elec rate.

they would still make money running full power. but I didn't like the 8000kw hrs bill last month

my electric cost is double yours at .125kwh +taxes

If hashnest got rid of their S1s cloud hashing you have to assume for 90% of people it is not profitable or worth running. Uless you are paying .06 or so kwh it is not worth it. It does not pay to buy one since the amount of profit at .06 is negligible after fees. If you have one on hand it might pay if you only pay that for electric. At my rate of .11 you receive a negative return.

Mines double yours @ .25 + standing charge

Ouch! I undervolted mine to cut 200 watts from each but they were at the break even point for me so I sold them.
