I own both asic and gpu i spread my risk but i'm being as realistic and un bias as i can this shit needs to stop however you want to justify your statement about "this is just about asic owners justifying" "...bullshit, as if gpu miners arnt complacent and to comfortable that they don't like the idea of having to sell off their gear and scale up or morph into other projects that make money...good things don't last forever..none of them are helping anyone by trying to make a coin that suits there hardware because i guarantee i'm not buying anymore gpu! because frankly gpu mining has been the most pain in the ass and to me the biggest waste of time ive ever come across
GPU mining has already almost ROI for me, maybe you just suck at putting together computers. It took maybe 2 hours to build and configure, been running 24/7 since. Only recently moved a couple over to Vert, which took 20 minutes to change from regular scrypt.
I had an ASIC SHA256 miner, but sold it just 2 days before it dropped almost 50% in price and 30% in efficiency in one difficulty jump.
I also bought all of my rigs in late November-December full well planning on selling around May and re-evaluating mining as a whole. Considering how fast SHA256 changed, how fast Scrypt is changing, I'm still sticking to it. I've already gotten most of my investment back, and the rigs are still at 80-100% of what I bought them for, I'm still on track to double my money.
Good luck trying to sell Gridseeds for $200 / e even by the summer

And the difference between 1 and 40 isn't much. Your still looking at over 170 days before ROI, and that's with 0% difficulty, and cheap electric at 0.06 (which is what I pay), starting today. 1% difficulty your looking at near next year. 2% increase puts them into 2015 before your seeing a profit.

If you can get them for $100-$150 then I consider it good profit, and worth buying hardware that is essentially worthless outside this "space".
