The ASIC miners are going to basically make other forms of mining obsolete.
Once there's a ton of those on the market, it'll increase the difficulty so much that only people who have the ASICs will be able to get a reasonable hourly rate.
Once the ASICs are out, will solo mining itself be obsolete? I know BFL's mini rig can get up to 1.5 T-hash/s... Am I right in assuming that machine will be the only thing worth solo mining with, or does the increase in difficulty have no effect on solo mining?
I've ordered a jalapeno and am considering the BFL single. Would either of those yield any BTC solo mining or should I just stick to pools?
