I'm relatively new to Bitcoins. I didn't take it seriously a year ago because it was only being used by hackers. I started getting into it because a website I frequent went bitcoin-only.
I preordered a Jalapeno before the new pricing. I thought about buying the next level up which was $649 at the time, but I didn't feel comfortable about the company's current history. The thing I don't like about GPU mining is the amount of power useage and the smell of toasting GPUs. I see no point in making such small amounts of money for so much noise and power. ASICs are the way to go.
I have no idea when the Jalapeno will arrive, but I wont cry over it since it's not an expensive device. In the mean time I am keeping an eye out for new ASIC devices. The Avalons are the current choice but the price is too rich for me. Maybe if Bitcoin keeps on falling I might consider them - it's going to fall under $50 USD, perhaps as low as $40.
