After running the calculations am I correct that holding all things constant (same elec. rate, shipping from Bitmain, difficulty,) the ROI seems to be about the same this S7-LN vs. S7 (within about 10 days or so form the calculator). I am not even questioning if ROI is even achievable with everything else going on.. halving..next gen equipment etc. Just doing a direct a comparison between these two models.
my calculation allotted for buying a S7 PSU for about $150, and being able to use a $100 coupon on the newest Batch s7 (which I assume cant be used for the S7-LN?).
This would make total shipped cost of Each:
- S7-LN = $276
- S7 Batch 17 + PSU = $550
My point is, unless you just need a smaller / quieter machine... ROI wise & comparison wise the S7-LN does not seem drastically different that the S7. Does this seem correct?
I believe they are aiming this miner at people like me. Who want to mine but I don't want to be running an operation.. Just something that uses a bit of power but is still actually adding some calcs to the network. The idea my CPU at 500 hashes is adding to the network is just BS.
I am highly considering one, still a little more power than I would like to use BUT it is in the range it won't overload a circuit and I can have a few more things on the circuit.
