1680BTC, they must be paying out of their own pockets aswell to obtain 1PH
Not really. 2BTC for 1.2TH, shipping starts in 2 weeks:
http://shop.rockminer.com/goods.php?id=35Thats 1.67 BTC per TH if you buy one unit. If you buy a PH and spread it out over 3 months, Im sure that price is negotiable.
Of course you could buy some more peta shares instead. Currently a bargain, trading around 4.7 BTC / TH, excluding mandatory sky high hosting fees and with 50% of the mining revenue reserved to pay back a loan; and after thats paid back, 50% locked in to buy upgrades - probably at similar fantastic prices. Id hurry.
I don't think PETAs hosting fees are that far off from this new mob. What are we talking $0.025 per gh? Don't forget PETA has slashed down their hosting fees after scryptx was deployed..
They are both bad deals as far as I'm concerned. However if I had to chose I would say PETA is a better offering simply because they have track record (along with HW online now).
Here's a simple comparison:
PETAMINE: $3/gh , ~1w/gh, $0.25/kwh hosting
CBCM: $2.7/gh , ~1w/gh, $0.3/kwh hosting
Rockminer: $1.1/gh, ~1.2w/gh, probably less than $0.3/kwh wherever you live.
