You have 2 options: wait for ASICs gen2 or buy and hold/or trade bitcoin.
Xanis,
What does gen 2 mean? Is it the new 28nm chips?
Do you think the Swedish KNCminer.com products qualify as gen 2?

4 hours yes, unless they changed something recently.
sounds like you are not a newbie anymore but you are jailed in the noob-section 
. sorry for that 
. sorry for that Oh that's AOK, I think it's a good system: forces people to properly introduce themselves.
I'm not jailed here for long though huh? I thought it was 4 hours.
And @Yanis
Thanks I will look at scryptcoins ... I have read about some of the other crypto coins. Part of the big attraction of BTC is their increasingly wide usability. We can now buy a pint of beer in a pub for btc in my town.

Thank-you Xanis.
Sound advice .... I had come to the same conclusion and I am doing all of those things on a very small scale.
Perhaps I will try to resist further mining - it's more that I am a shopaholic with a weakness for things that require water-cooling.

Hi,
I have been very interested in BTC for about a year. I heard about them on the news and immediately attempted mining on my MacBook Pro (too old).
I lost my money in the failures of instawallet, bitcoin24 and bitcoin central but persevered, registering with MtGox and transferring some money there to play around which I still do now. I eventually got all lost / impounded funds back - all credit to instawallet, bitcoin24 and bitcoin central.
I also have owned a BFL jalapeño 4.5 GH/s miner for just a few days (though ordered many months ago - I don't even remember ) and this has earned me $3 US in 4 days!
Anyway, it's all just small scale fun out of interest and enthusiasm for me. Dodgy stuff will go on with any currency due to human nature but I like the uncontrollable, de-centralised nature of BTC and think that it will be a good thing for the world (to a degree, providing we still have a habitable world that we need currency in).
I read about Mr Teal's 8 chip ASIC board elsewhere on this forum and wanted to pm him about it which prompted me to join.
Peace, have a great day.
