What do you think is wrong with the statement I made? Which child subforum are you suggesting

Edit: I think I misunderstood what Jessica's was saying. S9 is 2.29 times more expensive in terms of hash cost but only 2.09 times more expensive in terms of maintence. Where does the thrice come in? You can buy more s7 hash but you will pay more in maintenance at least from the numbers that HashNest is giving. Anyone can give any other numbers?

The 'thrice' was when S9 hashes were roughly 15k satoshi vs 5k sat on S7 hashes; I gave that number out of my head, when I had last checked the prices. I see it has shifted somewhat in the meantime (S9 hashes going down in price, and S7's went up).

Number are simply not easy to give; because for instance those hashcost you were referring to prior, is a 'non-equal' percentage number between the S7 and S9 hashes: When the difficulty or the BTC price changes, the maintenance percentage on both hashes do not shift equally because they have different maintenance costs. And since your hascost is related to the ever changing factors of the hash-market prices, the price of the BTC and the bi-weekly network adjustment, exact numbers are not that easy. Unless, you would keep track of a daily record for yourself off course
