So I have a nooby question since I am not a miner:
Lets assume I start minning with the Obelisk SC1 Miner today. Will the difficulty be the same. I would make about $15-$20 per day with the Obelisk SC1 at the Moment, right?
So baiscally when the Obelisk SC1 is shipped in June, it will be totally useless - basically a waste of Money, right?
The problem are those who do not release their numbers and leave you guessing, Obelisk has a very open ended approach releasing number of units sold (you can find that here>>
http://support.obelisk.tech/help_centerBitmain on the other hand does not care to inform it's customers of potential difficulty increase and simply runs a profit on every batch to the max which is not the best for mining community, stay informed keep in mind the power consumption for OBELISK is 500W hashing power is about the same as A3 and the first batch of SC1 will be shipped towards end of JUNE
At the moment with current Siacoin price this would translate to around $40 per day minus power consumed, like it or not this still makes it one of the most profitable miners hashing right now.
Bitmain will continually do this with every algo in my opinion until they get forked
what is if Sia soft forks, would the difficulty go down? If yes, this would be the obvious next move from the Sia devs or not?
