I'm checking the forums daily in hope of good news, this chip business is really really upsetting. How long before we won't make roi? /sadface

Personally, I no longer expect to make roi. I hope I'm wrong, but at this rate...

This was a risky proposition from the start so hopefully nobody invested more than they can afford to lose.

Yeah, almost certainly the ROI is gone at this point. Especially for the later buys.

I believe future bitcoin profits from mining will only come to the big boys with deeps pockets. Clearly there isn't a spot for the little guy just wanting to buy a few miners. He will never get the latest hardware fast enough or cheap enough to make any money.

Future profits will come to the reputable manufacturers (yes, they will eventually move into this space), and those that invest the big dollars in them.
