Vegas are pretty close at the moment. My two are turning out 1.3 to 1.5 mBTC a day on Nicehash, for a total rig cost of £1200 and 470W of electricity (which could be optimised further with custom BIOS). ROI is 3 months at that rate.
Nicehash shows the S9 as making 1.7 mBTC for, what, 1KW of electricity? If I can get hold of another pair of Vegas it should hit 3.0 mBTC for 800W and total cost of £2200. That seems comparable value to the S9 at the moment?
Tbh, since the Vegas are doing so well, and Bitmain are such shysters I'm not bothered about acquiring an asic. Just more Vegas when the next batch lands in a couple of weeks
I got a couple of RX580s today as well since a new batch of those came in, so I can have a play with other algos without upsetting the Vega rig.
