Topic: Did I miss the train or was it a smart move? (Read 2792 times)
ASICs are no longer the magical money printing machines they used to be. You made the right choice.
I was dazzled by the numbers, but once I put the difficulty in the mix it all seemed like a bad idea. I think what made me re-re-think my choice is a few hours later the miner was sold out.
Smart move IMO. Good Job, if you have that kind of money, you should try stocks or loans or something.
Howdy all!
Looks like I'm stuck here until I earn my way out, so why not post some questions.
I was this close to buying a knc Mercury miner, but something told me to double check the numbers. If anything, I want a quick ROI or it's just not a good investment to drop that much money on something. Unfortunately, with all the difficulty/calculator simulators, the 100Ghz model will not make an ROI even if it's shipped by October. I put faith in the difficulty predictions because of how many units knc has sold.
Did anyone else feel this way and avoid buying anything ASIC at this point? Right now I see it as profit if you were one of the lucky folks who mined early, bought bitcoins early, or even luckier if you got something from bfl.
Right now I can't find anything that will make ROI, everyone is selling at double or quadruple the price for the 1st gen rigs. I guess the only 2nd wave is if someone makes a scrypt miner and you're lucky enough to get on the pre-order list (and if they ship.
Thanks,
