WTF? Diff Increase 30%?
some more such increases and i have to sell my S1 Antminers
damn electricity prices.
dude! haven't you seen what is still to be delivered? network hash rate will probably double by the end of summer.
I retired 18 Erupter Blades a few weeks ago and my S1's will no longer be profitable soon as well. The blades were running since September of last year and did well, the S1's covered their cost and just a little over. It makes me wonder how the guys who spent >$2,000 on terrahash units will be doing in a couple of months, do you think they'll manage to recover 50% of cost before they are fully depreciated?
50% if I'm lucky, and I've got free power. IMHO the numbers went bad two jumps ago. Even an S2 upgrade to 2Th/s at < 1 BTC won't ROI. The boat done sailed on home mining as far as straight profit goes. Even the equipment flip is looking shaky to me.
