1x ztex: $1355 for 850 MH/s in Apr 2012. $1.6/MH
2x Icarus: $1138 for 760 MH/s in Feb 2012. $1.5/MH
Icarus boards were cheaper and started mining months in advance of ztex. Ztex was overpriced and late. Hmm, just like HF now. No wonder you like ztex.
PS: A ztex board would have mined about 100 btc over its life. Had you purchased bitcoins instead you would have had over 200 btc. ztex again was the loser.
PPS: GPUs were getting double the performance for the same price with plenty of resell value afterwards. That's who got all the bitcoins back then.
You do a fantastic job of using FUD to make 'perfect' and 'best' the mortal enemy of 'good enough.'
Any mining back then was well worth it. You can snivel about how your baby was the cutest, but the point is that we may still be in that situation, so you could well be wrong about HF being a "horrible" choice.
you are an idiot. he just laid out in very clear terms why his post about FPGAs (which you dragged up from 2 years ago to prove an incorrect point) was correct, and that FPGAs at the time of his post were not actually a good idea. I can back that up, because the GPU values stayed, and FPGAs all went to worthlessness the second ASICs arrived.
point is that hashfast has a terrible reputation, and a poor price. Bitmain ships on time. You are shilling like crazy for godknowswhy
