I've always like this Asic miner because of the power modes available, if you are on solar you can mine at the highest power mode when the sun is up and go Eco mode when running on battery, this is like a dream come true for someone like me.

What's stopping me right now is this bull market, what will happen after Bitcoin is done making a new all time high? I am sure the daily reward won't be 7 or 8 dollars any more, it will take a year to make the money back and that's if Bitcoin maintain it's present Value for a year.

It's always a better plan to buy Asic miners in a very bad market, the price will be cheaper and the return will be fair enough, it's better to make back your ROI first before considering using this device for solo mining.
