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?
I guess I was lucky in that I prepaid for a Cointerra TMIV 1.6 TH/s back in November at the all time high, so that $6,000.00 machine only cost me just a little over 6 BTC including shipping. I received the machine at the end of March, so the machine was well paid for including the used electricity by the beginning of June with a little profit as well and it still is quite profitable consuming only $180.00 of electricity per month and netting, at the new higher diff, 1.8 BTC per month. I must be one of the lucky ones.
