I forgot to check back and update. And the 1.5BTC quote was when BTC was at around 410 in price, hell I figured it was going to drop even more.
Anyway I'm ideally looking to get $550 per card, at the current crypto USD exchange rate. Along with free shipping.
So 900$ for a 550$ card?
I'll take all of them.
Given current profitability, it would take 80+ days to pay for each card (at newegg price, not your inflated price.) I would hardly call that "easily pay for themselves"
No not $900. No it won't take 80+ days. And further that card is not the reference version that is far superior.
