Well, i am new to this bitcoin thing, in fact this is my first post here, but I am the only one that think that ASIC is the biggest scam ever? You just need to think a little bit. Let look at the 5 Ghz ASIC. It is pre-selling with 273$, and, according to what the situation is now it will generate over 1000$ in one month. So, why would anybody would want to sell such a thing? The answer is simple: they would not sell it now. If i where the manufacturer of this ASIC i would have build as many as I could with the money from the pre-orders, put them to mine, and when the mining is not profitable any more i will ship the units. There are any reasons why the current manufacturers will not do that? I think not, considering also that the shipping is always delayed.
