Whats the likelihood these miners sky rocket difficultly into oblivion and the machines make 8 bucks a day, like the D3s on x11. I got burned by D3s 😒
You have to consider Obelisk also, delivering in June or sooner (well, or later). That will take DCR and SIA out of reach, leaving for now only Pascal and Lbry that can get saturated more easily. Also Baikal (and most suppliers) can be late. I definitely think it's high risk, I actually passed on this one.
Hey, thanks for info about obelisk. So what your thoughts on it? have u made it to first batch? It is us based company isnt it?
If people think the Giant B is a risk , the Obelisk is much worse . Sia coin has never been very profitable for mining and will get much worse . It's a real sh*t coin IMO for other reasons as well. Decred has been the best coin of these two miners but will be flooded with new hashing power causing a rapid decline in profitability. However , it may be abandoned by convention GPU miners which could create a rebound of sorts for the asics.
The best position for both short and long term is to have the Giant B mine Library , Pascal or Pascal Lite . This should be a profitable niche for quite some time. Library and Pascal have always been decent B grade contenders , but the Giant B could be a real game changer . I don't expect Library to be profitable at $19,000 per month like it is today , but $3500 would be excellent for the next few months. Blake coin is the other coin that probably won't see action unless both LBRY and Pascal were to tank.
