Hi,
Just wondering what the best options are if I were to purchase a miner today. Everywhere seems to either be pre-order only or not much above 10gh/s.
So, whats the best option?
Jump on the band wagon and wait a few months (if not more) for a powerful rig
OR
Buy a 10gh/s and mine it while it is still making a bit of cash?
At the moment I don't see any in-between.
Thoughts?
My recommendation is to wait for the difficulty to become more predictable and level out. By then new technology will become more affordable. Newer and Newer rigs are coming out putting even people that invested hundreds to thousands of dollars on rigs obsolete (most BFL rigs that never shipped are already obsolete). If you just want a hobby buy some cheap usb miners to mine for now (never expecting a ROI) or follow what gudmunsn said and buy bitcoins then invest them.
