Will there be a price adjustment in the near future?

genesis-mining.com 2 MHs for 360$ = 180$ / 1MHs

zeusminer.com (blizzard in stock) 1,3MHs for 110$ = 84$ / 1MHs

So it seems you have more than double the price of asic manufacturer that has miners in stock. There will apply shipping costs and electricity, but anyway, it seems much cheaper to order a miner than to rent the hashing power.
Even if i calculate all true costs (shipping costs, eletricity, raspberry, VAT, usb hub and so on) it will be cheaper to get a miner at home if I just order 2 blizzards.

Do I have forgotten anything?

Good question. We are constantly watching the market and negotiate with hardware sellers to find the best possible offers. Unfortunately, Zeus miners consume a lot of electricity (and thus produce a lot of heat) and are not well tested for longer periods of time.

What numbers did you use for shipping costs, electricity, rasberry, VAT, and other equipment etc?

You also need to take into account opportunity costs, e.g., delivery time, your own time you need to setup and operate the miner. Miners will crash from time to time and need to be restarted (so you need constant monitoring and in some cases a manual reset is required), i.e., you will by far not reach a 100% uptime. Furthermore, the manufacturer / seller often limits the warranty to one month (bad luck if it breaks after).

If you take all this into account it will be very difficult to beat 14 cent per 1kH/s. For smaller projects I guess that opportunity costs will be the limiting factor. Or the WAF (= woman acceptance factor) will limit your mining project Wink

For Zeus it will very much depend on where you are and how much you pay for electricity.

I have to say sorry.

Doing the math again I have to say it really belongs to e-costs. Contracts from you seems overpriced at first look, but after doing math again, it seems they are ok. It really belongs how much scrypt power you rent or buy and where to host it and to calculate the hidden costs.

And do not forget the WAF factor...
