These are hard times for BTC.

   ETH and ETC look better on paper then BTC.

Does not mean that they are better but they look better.

I can buy 8 rx 480's at the ripoff price of 300 each  and build 2 four card rigs that WILL do 200mh using 1200 watts

two build cost is around 3200  usd

I can't get 2 s-9s for 3200  more like 4000  using 2700 watts


so more cost more watts and less earnings monthly. with the best basic mining gear available .

If you have an s-7 or an avalon 6  and you are at 8 cent power  you are right on the line to a negative miner.

For me I am diverse but a little lite on the coin end and the cash end of BTC ETH and ETC

I have also push my threshold from 10000 to 16000

of which

 8000 is asic gear s-9's and plus
5000 is gpu miner gear
2000 is BTC ETH ETC
1000 is cash

and I am not very comfortable  as coins and cash is too low
