..........My interest in getting hands on an ASIC are equally intellectual and hobby-based. I also like the idea of being able to support network decentralization. If there was a way to trade on here, I'd be interested in offers. Only thing is I haven't yet found examples of such trades running successfully in the Markets section here at BCT.
Sure, I would be glad to first check myself ways to be able to ship into India and work with customs. Let me get back to you on this.
Will wait to see how this turns out. Thanks.
Glad that you understand that it is hard to trust such a setup. I totally agree with your point about the hobby miner thing. It is a niche right now as it is not simple to realize profits too. (Most buying and selling is not p2p after RBI restrictions). Someone running a simple rig with 700W on wall will be paying almost ~INR 2000 for electricity. The problem is that the profits are too small to get a decent ROI.
I will be happy to discuss the details on any potential upside of using sourced GPUs/ Miners and helping you determine the profitability. Glad you opened up about the background. Are you still with cummins? We use engines sourced from cummins. I am not directly involved but I could verify this if i dug in.
I'll let you first check if its worth your time and effort to go through the notorious Indian customs. Good Luck. Keep us updated.
