Someone explain to me the point of buying a 1.6gh miner @ +-$50
How you gonna make your money back ?
For me, it's about defeating the difficulty so I continue to make what I'm making now. Buying two allows me to defeat the difficulty increase and add to my profits until next increase. If BTC value goes up, I make even more and payback shortens a bit. At $833 BTC, these are only $44.15, still $14.15 more than I wanted to pay, but I'll take the hit just to defeat this next rise and add a few more nuggets.
