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.

Just an FYI...just because your power cost is 50% less doesn't mean you will "double your earnings".
