It's gonna be tough all round with
BTC holding in the low $200's and diff looking like it's going up again

Its even tougher for ppl holding their miners hoping to get ROI.
Phillipma's opinion does not count because he got "free" electricity with his rent. I feel bad for ppl who just bought some miners tho....
however, it is a good time to get *some* used gear at good prices. I pay $0.09 USD for nighttime and $0.13 in the daytime/peak, so am still somewhat competitive.
and im hoping to move into ~$70/kw/month colocation very soon
I am not aware of $70 colocation. Some come close, but most with long contracts.
You probably would be better off by selling 0.5-0.65GH/w gear anyway and go for 0.2-0.3GH/w gear if and when it shows up
