Looks interesting but very risky.....Then again my S7's and S9 are struggling to make much and even ebay prices have dropped. My 4xGTX970 can easily be switched to do something else and graphics cards haven't plummeted like those prices. A couple of months back you'd be £3k for a S9 and they now look like £1k....Who knows next week or month. Mid January i had ~£2k in crypto and ~4k in hardware. Now I'm maybe £700 and at best ~£2k in hardware and that's excluding a few months of electricity.....However i've got bits of lots of crypto and they could easily take off again, so

As for the new miners.....I'm not sure how much i'm willing to add to my crypto empire. Giving up, nope....I can see it's the right road, but there's trouble ahead with the Asics breaking the intended model
