Nice Maybe I will get a decred unit

I'm conflicted...

on the one hand, I have FIVE $800 buck 1/2 off coupons I could get units with

then

on the other hand I would be buying a 2nd batch pre-order of vaporware miners w/o getting the 1st batch

yeah, nothing DANGEROUS about this ...right...... Sad

So assuming, I man up and get 5 more units.....or 6 more units (adding only a $400 buck coupon on that go around...they use on the site I was told

the most expensive coupon's first...thus the $800 buck bonus coupon, for the 1st 5 units..then if I got a 6th unit the $400 buck coupon for getting a

unit the 1st week...then the last 4 units would be the last of the coupons at $250 each...not going that far..but what I was told of the process. FYI)

Again, assuming I get 6 more units at 1/2 price for the 1st 5 and $400 bucks of the 6th one for a total of 6 units at $5,200.00 usd before shipping.

WHAT UNITS SHOULD A PERSON GET......

1) Decred Miners (remember I have 5 obelisk sc1's from the 1st batch run)

or

2) MORE Obelisk SC-1 Miners

So I get a mixture, what would be the split 100% decred because I've 1st batch Obelisk's Siacoin miners in that batch?

or

50/50 Decred and Siacoin units?

What are folk doing for a mixture on this as the best option?

Thanks, anyway the above was how I was told coupons work, point out any mistakes....but damn....I badly need the equip write-offs

brad

p.s. note to newbies in the USA..if you buy a unit with hard-earned $$$ you can get 25% off equip deduction in real $$ applied towards taxes owed on mining in a year. Assuming
you are in 25% income bracket. So that means you can take the 5 years equip depreciation all the first year or 100% equipment can be taken off your gross income.

ME. on the other hand..I am in a 50% tax range (40% plus 10% state income tax) ....if I take those $$$ and rather then pay the Tax Man and add the 25% off equipment
deduction off taxes I know I will pay in $$$ otherwise.....my risk above paying the tax man is 25% in real money...more so in that my current miners have ROI'd

thus newbies should be cautious with my advice..both for vaporware unit reasons maybe...and in real $$$ my risk is much less at 25% vs 75% cash down on this kinda thing

but again, I'm at the 50% tax level on mining income...but that is why it may be a lot more attractive to me for equipment than anybody else...especially newbie wise

also IF it is all vaporware...I can still write it off as theft/loss and only down 25% for the risk...again the tax man will get 50% for sure, and the nice 25% equip deduction

makes it tempting as hell at my 50% tax rate to be perhaps "stupid" (damn the 2013 kool-aid is like Malaria....can come back in Newbie dumb purchases at any time....

with the same strengh of 2013 Kool-Aid years later! Ack!)

anyway, just a clarification on my views on how sketchy this may be...on the consideration of doubling down and getting batch 2 stuff when batch 1 stuff is still in the wind!
