Thanks for the responses!
Im leaning towards the T17+ or S17e. I will probably get 6. The reduced power for same hash rate is tempting but does this come at reliability cost? I will probably have them less than 6months.
I had a look at the Micro BT but I simply can't justify the cost based on the short time I will have them and I have coupons for Bitmain.
I don't want to hold anymore BTC!!! But I get what your saying
Okay you have 6k correct?
and you have some coupons.
order 1 t17 +
order 1 s17e
wait until May 13th to buy again
basically buying six of the t17+ or 6 of the s17e is not the right move as you could get a bad batch.
we are before the ½ ing and things are going to be set into motion very soon.
If you really want to order before the ½ ing due to your coupons maybe they expire if coins go to 10k
then order 3 t17+
and order 3 s17e
my 2019-2020 order record from bitmain is
1 x s15 ---------------------works fully at or above spec
1 x t15 ---------------------- "
2 x t17 ---------------------- "
1x s17 ---------------------- "
15 x s17 pro ---------------- "
2 x 17e -------------------- works full but uses power power then spec
2 x 17+ -------------------- 5 good boards 1 board has issues
4 x s9k ---------------------- need to be booted often but hash at spec and use power at spec.
my power is 218-228 volts very steady since June 2019 we did have an issue before June we would drop to 190 volts gear would drop out but this is not the gears fault
my air cooling is great. lots of airflow more then I need.
