2. I had another adventurous idea

. As you known, there is an interesting situation on the bitcoin asics market.
The cost of 1 GH varies from $ 10 (btmine, sushi..) to $ 40 on the secondary asics market.
Maybe it will be profitable to sell our miners, for example for 7 BTC for 1x300 GH ASIC and buy 3 x btmine (200GH) in 3x2,4=7.2 BTC.
As a result, we get 600 GH instead of 300 GH. But as always, everything will decide the time ...
   1. Time from selling the our device until the order new device - 1 day or less;
   2. Time from order to shipping - as wrote btmine 3-5 days;
   3. Time to delivery - 10-14 days. Delivery to Russia via DHL, FedEx, UPS and other express companies, as you know, does not work.
Shipping cost will be $ 300 for one miner.
Total 14-20 days without mining....
I find a buyer for 7 BTC fast and without problem. For starters, we can try to do this operation with 1-2 devices.
Who thinks about this?

That's quite the good idea but do we know anything about the reliability of btmine shipping promises? If it's reliable we could maybe try it with half our miners, as long as more people agree. Generally too few people are active in the discussion here, do you have a way of contacting shareholders so they can vote?

They are a little slow but confirmed by reputable people. They are actually 2.2 at the moment, shipping this saturday. They are saying this is the last batch until after chinese new year. Shipping is free to the US. I assume the $300 is for duties etc?

I have a few from them and they run great at 375Mhz and they get rougly 194 GH/s. Clocking them at 400 for the 205 is a bit hard on the VR and isn't recommended.
