Interesting move... dry up the resale market and lower the hash rate? Make cloud mining the only option? |

Maybe they're mining out of their parent's house with "free" electricity

Maybe they will tinker with the buybacked miners plus they already mentioned that they have an extremely low power cost, this may sound profitable in the long run. |

they are located in central Washington where they pay 0.23 cents per KWH, they can run a lot of inefficient miners and still profit due to cheaper power then the rest of yall got. pretty simple. |

That, and they may have wind of privy info of a major rate exchange increase coming down the pike, thus jockeying for position to amass some miners for a farm, taking advantage of those possessing miners that don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. |

I'm expecting garbage to be honest. There is a lot more labour babysitting a mishmash of elderly gear which is going to have to be paid somehow. |

I wonder if I can interest them in a Black Arrow X-3 pre-order it's guaranteed to be unprofitable. The best part is it ships next week so they can expect new and unused hardware.

Your guess is as good as mine Unless they really can dry up the market or find people who don't know much an sell them units “Due to our extremely low power cost, we can still return funds to miners who may have gotten in just before the market fell. But guess they are going with power costs |

it's not. It's $0.023 per kWh. Closer to 3 cents with taxes & other charges. And that's the rate for private consumers, right? So chances are they get a significant discount as an energy-intensive enterprise. |

Maybe 2-3 cents, but nothing lower in the USA. I would guess they have a deal where delivery is heavily discounted and they are paying for raw power + some small % (consumption based). I think some of the cheapest power in the world is still 2 cents delivered.

I bet the buy for $ per pound and get the scrap. They won't be plugging in anything. Seriously when / if BTC goes 1000$ again where are you going to get miners?
Making sure there is nothing left on the market is a good way to make sure there is less competition. Given that there will be few miners out there then they could also sell off their own older generation miners to consumers as they phase in new generation Bitfury.
So you will be left with few if any cheap options. You have to get either cloud-mining or used equipment from their farms potentially.
