I'm just learning about your world in the last few days. I stumbles across it while my son was looking at used gaming PC's and we came across one that was built for btc mining. So we researched what it is...

Geez I wish I had bought 100 jalapeños last year.

My son and I are considering getting in as a father son project.

My choices seem like:
1. Buy a PRE-order 60 single and wait...losing the best capture opportunity in the next couple months but spending only a few thou. I'm worried that by the time I get it, I'll get frustrated with the payback.

2. Buying In-hand 60 for 10k...but worried that I'll NEVER recover the 10k. Seems like a ridiculous gamble.

3. Buying a severely over-priced jalapeño in hand and call it cheap entertainment even if it never pays for itself.

4. Wait for a jalapeño from BFL and call it really cheap entertainment but mine almost nothing.

5. Invest in btc and let someone else mine, but that defeats the father son time thing.

Save my money, and buy some puzzles...lol, j/k really think this could be fun for us, cuz he's a gamer, and really into computers, and I love gambling, risk taking and investing.

Plz give me some basic advice...is it too late???

So I am wondering the same thing being new to the game... Some of the best advice I have is to diversify... meaning buy some coins as well as purchase a rig. Because I am not 100% confident in building my own, I am leaning towards getting the Mercury from KnC... BFL has a seriously bad rap here on the forum, and even though they claim they are sending out 300+ a day, it just doesn't seem to be trickling down here. My two cents...
