@darwin yes I agree nobody should invest in 54 / 60 Ghash setups as if everyone had them the returns would be the same as with a previous level playing field. only the early adopters will be able to get their ROI, the late adopters won't and the more you convince not to join the band wagon the more btc's end up in you wallet. I the like ID created for talking town the new technology....

@gooffer,
Let's how it evolves, after these ASICs start to ship

like previous post, do your research , make your own decisions - in a lot of ways ASIC are a gamble - are you a gambling man?
i.e.: Block reward halves, difficulty skyrockets price of BTC does???
despite all the expert opinion no-one on this planet has been involved in a blockchain based cryptocurrency whose reward halves approximately every 4 years - it is all speculation and best guess on what will actually happen in the Bitcoin mining scene over the next 6 months

@Graet,
Got it now

Thank you for explaining your point of view.
Well, I'm not much a gambler... Everyone likes to play games, even betting games, but for now I need to be careful, and don't bet too high, or my investment would be in risk.

Anyway, I still prefer Buterflylabs' ASICs. They look powerful, and seems possible to build. Not sure about the prices. I guess the prices should be higher, comparing to the Mini Rig, which costs $15k and generates 25.5 GH.
Shouldn't 1500 GH be proportional? I mean, I still find $30,000 a very low price for such powerful machine.

Is it wonderland, or real life?
