I bought 0.5w/GH hardware for 1BTC/TH over 6 months ago - its basically paid for itself and still holds the same value on the resale market. This stuff at 2BTC/TH, without power supply, is insanity

add the risk of miner failure! and that is over a longer time!

miner broken and you got fucked like a royalty!

This is a problem lots of people don't think about. Such a high value single product, one controller doing everything. The "idea" is NOT to put all your eggs in one basket.



I definetly agree with this. Thats why I was expecting (or hoping) to see a unit around 2.4 THs with s5 power usage. Than we would be able to split the risk. Its just a dream but bitmain might consider for a smaller unit, calling it s7 mini with  1 or 2 hash boards. It will be 100x better than s7 for home and small time miners.
