So can someone confirm what this has come to.....

Butterfly have a claimed instant delivery on a 50 GH device.

According to this calculator that is like 10 USD per day ...   ( http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/ )

That means you will never break even with that device.

So looks like one should be looking at 1 TH at least  ( just a guess )... otherwise I see no point ...
