I don't really understand your justification for the price.
Your mining wont nearly pay itself as fast as the ASIC stuff. 60k of ASIC would have gotten you so much more power.

I stuck with what I know and that is crazy ass hardware.  I know 60k of ASIC would get me more power.  Man, 60K of ASIC would get me 3TH which would then make me buy a very large boat and sail to Richard Branson's island and kick him in the testicles.

But ASICs are not being delivered.  Avalons...yes, kinda.  But there is something in the "too good to be true" in the typical ASIC promises that seem to be filled with slowness at best and felons at worst that made me decide that if I was going to gamble I was going to do it on something I knew I could get my hands on.

How many ASIC rigs are out there right now do you think?

The number suggest it is the Godot of hardware and we can always replace lost money but we can never replace lost time.


I think they will ship.
If BFL ships everything, non-ASIC gear will just be a waste of electricity.

If it's not Avalon or BFL that ends up shipping, someone else will do it. Technology is here and market is here, there has to be people making the gear availible.
