He said the current hardware could operate at a profit until the network hashrate hits 12phs.
We are bumping up against 10phs now. At the current rate of difficulty increase the current hardware will start operating at a loss in a few weeks. Hopefully the new hardware will show up middle of january like he said it will.
EDIT: Just checked and we got a payout not long ago.
Why not just mine PPC or TGC? better ROI.
For TGC, price is rising:

I answered this earlier in the thread.
He is setup to mine XBT, he needs an efficient way to convert from crypto to fiat, and XBT is the most fluid. It is the original Cryptocoin.
If he were to start mining another crypto, it would have be A) One that is most likely to have long term value, and B) Set it up as a side venture, rather than converting his current setup. Remember that our XBT Addresses are locked in, only pyra can change them, so its not possible to convert the current system to another coin.
And the ROI/XBT is fleeting. If you watch dustcoin.com you will see that some coins have a better ROI than XBT/LTC and then they have a worse ROI.
ok but I hope this will change in the near future.
pretty futile mining XBT in this crazy difficulty.
