Yes it can make you some money. Will it repay itself at this point? No one has any clue. Right now you will earn between $45-$70 USD per day (a huge range) and it is only going to go down. If you pay $4,500 USD, you MAY have a 100 day ROI, it may be a year, it may never if the coins fork.
You have to make your own choices. I bought one when it first came out because I thought the risk was worth to potential reward and I have earned about $1,000 back. I still have a ways to go.
And what about Monacoin? Devs of Mona are going to stay with ASIC? Is there any info about?
