I would like to buy a BFL ASIC miner, but I'd like to run the numbers once they start shipping and can give a reasonable delivery date. If the ROI starting in January is 260 days or so, I wouldn't mind getting a BFL single. The idea of getting a 100% ROI in less than a year sounds good.

How did you get such high ROI-%? My own calculations would give only around 30% ROI on first year.

If I use a BFL single with 60GH/s, costing $1330, 25 coins per block, 60w, .10 $/kWh with a difficulty of 90 million, it would take a year to make $1370.

So you would make back the money you spent on your rig. From that point forward it is profit less normal operational expenses. You could also amortize the life of the rig and perhaps even get a 100% value return from BFL when the next generation comes out if they are still offering such a trade in for an upgrade.

Ordered a 40Gh/s single sc early August (well, actually ordered 6 jalapeno's, and upgraded those to 1 single when BFL upgraded them from 40 to 60Gh/s). I understand now that there is no way anything will be ready to ship before the end november block halving, I even wonder if BFL will ship before btcfpga does, the last one claims shipping will start the week after thanksgiving. I do know the last one has less orders, and is likely to ship new orders made now sooner than BFL, wich is flooded with orders.
But this is all speculation, since no company has ever given actual dates of when, only estimates, wich in BFL's case, have changed from sept/october to october/early november to november/december.
Be prepared for disappointment, in relation to the (roughly) shipping expectations made by all companies.

I have my money on a BFL preorder. It might be too late to preorder now thou, but later on if production pics up, you might be able to buy ASIC's allmoust of the shelf.

I'm not going to bother, frankly. It's late to get into the ASIC game at this point and it's much more of a financial risk than buying GPUs; you can always repurpose/resell the GPUs fairly easily later if things don't work out.

Strongly considering just selling the old rig and strictly trading from now on.

What brand and how many gh/s are you buying? I have heard good and bad things pretty much from all the asic companies. Some more worse then others.
