I have NO idea why people are buying batch 8, even with an overclock the units wont even return 50%.

I agree with most of what you say, but isnt the picture and example of a different unit? Also you are using a .13 cost for electric. For example I have .07 which would double my earnings.
Don't get me wrong I am a strong supporter that the current change of bitmain to preorders ( 20 plus days out which is an eternity in crypto world ), not lowering price ( like they have done in the past to help their customers have a chance at a 100% ROI ). no coupons for returning loyal customers etc is not a good change.
Just want to help people make the best decisions....
- Note - The Net hash has gone from 132 mil to over 195 mil in last 22 days. It makes you wonder about the lack of supply from bitmain all of a sudden for next 30 days and yet some other company is bringing so much hashing power out? Wonder if that new hashing power suddenly goes offline when the s3+ starts to ship or all those new s3+ units get added on top of that staggering 60 million network increase. I think I would be more concerned if it came off the network slowly as we approach the Sept 20 date. Giving conspiracy guys some very damaging ammo.
