wow, long thread, wont lie skipped to the end- so where is the best price on a 1th/s miner kinda interested

These guys have them for sale right now, and the price definitely right!
Plus they have excellent customer support from my experience buying gear from them:
http://www.gawminers.com/gaw-miners-1t-bitcoin-asic-miner/

7.4 BTC for a device that might mine less than 5.3 in the next 100 days if every diff change for the next 100 days is only 15% ...
No wonder hardware vendors can do so well, people like losing BTC ... ... ... ...

It will return $2000 after 6 months with 17.50% diff average increase, including electricity.
That's 4.49 BTC at current price so 2.91 BTC loss.
So the cost of "having fun mining Bitcoin" will be $1296.
So much fun, yeah !

Hey, I'm with you...no one likes the state the Bitcoin is in right now..I'm sure we all wish it was still back up at $1200. But unfortunately it's not, and nobody is celebrating about it. That doesn't mean that people who enjoy mining will stop or should stop because a few people are telling them it's not worth it...maybe it's not, maybe it will be, I don't have a crystal ball.

But like I said before no one is forcing anyone to buy gear from any source or to get involved in mining. It is a long term game if you trying to make a profit, if you can make a profit. Otherwise people are simply enjoying the whole phenomenon of mining and god forbid they like doing it as a hobby or whatever.

If you aren't enjoying "having fun mining Bitcoin" then don't do it, you can always go outside and ride your bike

I think that's still free.
