You can buy 7 D3s for the price of 1 A5.

Yes.. but then the electricity cost would be about $8,500 a year, and you would need to have the power hookup to support 8400 watts.

...

Profiting off of an Innosilicon A5 means that you were able to run it for over a year without competing with a more efficient miner ( Which does not currently exist, but we will see eventually Roll Eyes

)

Currently, there is a better chance of getting a ROI with the D3 because of it's price point and current difficulty rate. Once the Innosilicon A5's take over, it's only a matter of time before it costs more to run the D3 then it makes.

You are correct, but lesser electricity price is for a particular miner, then lesser power efficiency of A5 over D3 matters, doesn't it?
