My LS paid for itself.
You came out better than most.
Amen on that. I paid 15 BTC for my Jalapeno and bought the $100 2 GH upgrade. Since it was delivered in June, it has earned 7 BTC running 24/7/365.
Purchase price in BTC: 15, plus the $100 upgrade
Purchase price equivalent in $ (at that time): $365
Purchase price equivalent in $ (today, BTC=$330): $5000
Payback equivalent in $ (today, BTC=330): $2300
Looking at it from a $ standpoint, I did very well.
Looking at it from a BTC standpoint, I lost half my investment.
I doubt BFL will be calling me for a testimonial. My Paypal chargebacks for the last two orders have just been finalized and the BFL site shows status as "canceled" (sic).
