Is this thread going to devolve into another one of those under-the-bridge troll-fests?
Anyone that has put money into mining gear, please note: do not "invest" any amount that you are not willing to lose.
I've put my money where my words are, but I recognize it as a risk. (I also have renewable energy to diminish risk, so there.)

People on these threads get so bent out of shape trying to be the next bitcoin billionaire! Chill.
