So, I take it the price of S9 hasnt been corrected for halving yet? ... looks outrageously overpriced...
these new batches released after halving are still insanely priced way too high
+1 here too, I am just sat waiting to buy at the moment.
Even with a low, nearly flat 2% network growth per interval it would take just over a year to ROI these things with fairly priced electricity ($0.67/kWh).
That's if they don't brick. If pool luck is steady. If network growth acts predictable. If you have 100% uptime on both Internet and power...
All that risk and your reward? Break even. This is a hobbyist's game now. Bitmain has discovered that there will always be people willing to pay more than these will ever return.
