I may do an s-5 survey but think that 5 percent is a safe guess for a six month time period.
Wow! 5% loss is quite painful if it's true!
Does anybody have actual numbers about S5?
I don't think 5% is a shocking number especially for a new style of hardware that is running 24/7 (these mines never ever turn those things off) I mean just look at major hardware companies and they have a similar death rate and those things are turned off commonly.
Also most miners have a lot of gear. This means a lot of heat and heat kills gear.
