Started at the beginning of this thread and reread first few pages. General trend in mining. Lot of excitement at first then by page 99 reality has set in. Ugh over and over goes the scam. Please look up definition of insanity might be enlightening for some of you. Also taking a look at who merited this thread it’s the same group that jumps on all these threads and fanboys it up. Patterns hmmmm they do mean something! Anyway 4k$ cards aren’t the future of crypto unless centralization is inventible. Those that have the means will push the rest out. Has that not indeed happened. Well not for the group that merits all these hw threads. They are the ones getting one over on you folks. One can only hope more will See this for what it is before they lose their shirts!!!

yup. just like other mining hardware. take a chance. might roi, might not.
i read up, checked stuff out, took a chance and rolled the dice for an air cooled BCU1525.
my bcu makes maybe a couple buck a day now, some others have hit days of a few more bucks by chasing the various alts, but im the set and forget, autoexchange pool type of miner.
oh well. fun toy to lose money with anyway.
one thing in its (bcu1525) favor: very adjustable power settings and built to what looks to be many years of trouble free service. who knows it may roi yet, but i dont expect that (if ever) for a long time. im patient.
but as whitefire mentions, at this point dont buy any fpga until the bitstreams you want are out in the wild.
