they seem to be sold out.
I guess people were willing to pay 400 to get the 19 watts a th.
I still don’t understand the mind set of buying these over the chimney miners.
but they are smaller and look better.
Still 1000 usd for a 20th to 37th miner that does 20 watts th
vs 400 usd for 3th miner that does 20 watts a th
my take:
the electric cost for a 60W miner in a year is between $50-$100 @ 10¢-20¢
the electric cost for 400-1000W is $350-$1800 @ 10¢-20¢
the appeal to the 60W miner is that it kind of just feels like a one time fee of $400 and then you're spending less than $5-10 a month in electric, which is not really noticeable to many people.
that and you get a device that'll be efficient for a long time, tbh i wouldn't be surprised to see people mining with these thru the 2032 halving
i'm personally waiting for the 0xAxe which will have 16 chips. there's also someone on the OSMU group working on a solderless ASIC module so eventually there's probably going to be a bitaxe version that's very easy to fix/upgrade.
And you will likely never hit a block. And if you mine to a pool at best it earns 12 cents with free power which means 11 years to break even
While the other one set to 20 th costing 1000 earns 1.20 a day with free power taking 3 years to break even.
I USED FREE POWER and a constant 6 cents a th to get those number's.
I have two nanos which are using 200 watts to do 6th on medium. With free power they earn 36 cents a day which is about $360 earned in $1000 days.
Hey I owned tons and tons of small gear medium gear and big gear.
I like the brains gear here. I DO NOT like it's price.
But I will likely buy one just because.
