... sometimes you just gotta spin the wheel to try and play the game ...
I'd be lying if I don't have a bit of butt-clenching going on right about now. We're all taking a chance, agreed. Lets hope all this stuff is on the up-and-up.
There is plenty of proof that bitmain has the equipment to produce (and have produced) a lot of boards, and at least a few assembled units. I have no doubt that the antminer exists as a physical item, so as long as it is inside the UPS package that im tracking and mines BTC, Ill be very happy.
ps: i figure difficulty will soon become 70%/month while we wait for 28nm stuff, which could be somewhat profitable for these devices
