I wholeheartedly agree. So, then, evlew should get a refund and buy coins. Whatever the case, the BFL is a losing proposition. There's no other way to slice it.
Hm.... Honestly I think it depends on why you're mining. When I picked up my Jally order in Jan 2013 it was to get rich or something. By the time I got it, it was a fun toy. A toy which I realized could do things... Like take more chips. And there were people who also wanted more chips and were willing to pay for it.
To my credit I refused work when it would result in a loss for the customer. Why? Because I guess I'm like that.
Point being though if you think you can sit on your ass and mine and make money you are expecting something for nothing which doesn't happen unless it's luck. If you use your abilities, you can make money but it's from your abilities, not your god-given right to sit on your ass.
Thus a BFL/KNC/Whatever can be a good investment, depends on what you do with it. My offer was to get one as a learning tool; maybe I could make other people's miners run faster/better/whatever and help them make profits while making profits myself.
We'll see.
