5 units sfards miner already arrive in our farm, but the quality is not as good as they promise, only 1 of them run at 1.5T/48M, all other four canot farm at promised hashrate, 2 of them canot run at all, ask other friend got similar report.  already ask sfards technician to provide help, but i think it is better to wait until the quality become more stable, it will be a nightmare for our employee if a large batch of miner canot run stable

Guys i feel like i am missing something.

Why should we be interested into the SFARDS product?

I personally whould like to spend some cash and host some new ROIable products like s5 were/are…

Depends on what the electricity costs then I might consider but a well running Sfards at 1200ish would be better I think.

According to the published specs, the BTC side of the SF100 has a 0.34W/GHS power efficiency where the S5 is at 0.51W/GHS power efficiency.  The idea is to always find ways to reduce the amount of power required to produce the same results.  If the Lee Group could 1) get these units for a reasonable price, 2) see if they run reliably at advertised speeds and power efficiency, and 3)  pass on some of the power savings to us it would be a good way to extend our stay with the Lee Hosting Group.  It comes down to "Improve or Die" principle of BTC mining equipment.

Of course it looks like both 1 and 2 above are fails so far.
